Nice review. Vic, replaced that awl with philips screwdriver and I'm sold.

👍🏻

I love this nice knife. 🇨🇭 ❤ 🇨🇭 I removed the clip !

I have had one for several years, Be warned - the black parts of the handle are perishing - The black bits are sticky & coming off. The green part is still fine.

Besides the blade and awl, there is even third tool, which is beefier version than found in red Celedor line SAK's, namely the flathead screwdriver/cap lifter.

Here we are in 2024 and the knife is now $133.00 on Amazon. Darnit - I knew I should have bought it two years ago when I was looking at it.

Butiful knife

Nice knife in nature👋

Great review, and I love the lanyards, keep it up mate, thanks!

Nicely done review of this beautiful victorinox, I am also very interested in that bullet casing thingy you got right there, where can I buy it? I would appreciate if you responded.

I like the toolset here, especially for the pliers… but I don’t know how it can justify calling itself “the Handyman” without a proper phillips head screwdriver 🤷🏻‍♂️ but if it did have one, it would basically be a SwissChamp, just missing the fish scaler… but I wish they had more options, like perhaps one with the new package opener in place of the can opener for more urban usage, the fish scaler in place of the saw for fishing, etc.

0:56 "Let's get it out the box here so you guys can actually see it" Good idea... very good idea. You're hired !

The hook on the back is referred to as the multi purpose hook. At least that's what I like calling it. Because it has multiple uses with it. I personally like having two models with me with hooks on the back of both. But that's just me. As I always say,"To each their own"!

Good review, cheers 🍻

Man, you sound just like Tom Green.

What's the model number for the Original Leather pouch for this Handyman Knife. Please let me know. Thanks.

May I suggest including the Victorinox EVOLUTION S17 GRIP in your comparison. The knife is slightly shorter (88mm vs 91mm )and not as robust as the alox version, but it offers a locking blade. Unfortunately it also lacks the pin and cannot be upgraded to plus scales... Victorinox seem determined not to build the perfect EDC SAK.

That's a nice knife for someone who wants a sensible EDC tool kit without going the multi-tool route. Victorinox has a great selection that will give you whatever you think you require in your daily life. I've been carrying a 3" blade in my pocket my whole life, but I have a Victorinox Huntsman in my desk at the office! Nice review

Very nice 👌

“Armored Huntsman” good description, my first knife was a1973 Huntsman. Before they finally brought out the Farmer X I was looking for a good modder to create one. But like they say be careful what you wish for, now I have to choose which one to carry. They both have there advantages. I recently got some alox replacement plus scales for a Huntsman to make it more durable. By the way have you compared the the cap lifter screwdriver on the two knives ?

I use the victrorinox nl4 model. Its order by the dutch army and custom for the dutch army. Its almost the same but no saw on it.

theres a toothpick in the box if you prefer it to the tweezers

Great review! How's the size and balance in the hand? any remarks

Swiss champion all the way for me.

I use the Huntsman a lot. I changed the scales to yellow hi-vis Plus scales. Thanks to Felix Immler on TH-cam I made a second pinhole for a sewing needle and opened up the channel opposite end to the tweezers. I put a small toothpick in here and used the old toothpick hole for a Firefly ferro rod. I use the corkscrew to hold tinder and glasses screwdriver.

Sure is a bad ass knife/tool. Got one my self and it is my edc in the Swedish armed forces as a sharpshooter

I have both the Huntsman and the Handyman. I love all the functions on it. The most important tool for me is the can opener. I’m thinking about getting a smallest possible one just with the can opener and a blade.

You might want to include some kind of small, mini compass 🧭that you could squeeze somewhere in your altoids tin survival kit because navigation is extremely important. You might find yourself in a survival scenario when your hiking out in the middle of nowhere and, depending on the circumstances, it may be better for you to try to find help before help finds you.

Perfekt thing .. 🔥🔥🔥✌️😜✌️🍀🍀🍀🌎🔥🔥🔥

you can put a safety pin into the cork opener

Debating if i want a handyman i currently cary a ranger and a mechanic between the 2 i have all the tools of the handyman man i really only use the pliers i get out fish hooks and pick up hot things

I use the 78. Great knife.

Im opting for the pliers because it a perfect little tool for changing guitar strings. Cut excess string length, pull pegs from your acoustic. DECENT.

The Parcle hook 31 uses for that one tool !!! Ask Felix !!!

Great video, one question, I currently use a Hiker, but I want to upgrade. So I'm trying to decide between the Handyman or Huntsman, and I'm not sure if the handyman is too big, or heavy for EDC in the front pockets. Any thoughts since you have both?

Pretty cool videos Chris! You should include one of those little alcohol wipes to clean wounds before applying the bandages! :D They can also be used to start fires in an emergency or when the tinder isn't working :)

Gooooooold!!!!! 🤩

You forgot the straight needle behind the corkscrew :)

Yeah, I, too, chose the handyman because the other tools on the champ aren't that useful to me (even that phillips screwdriver, the can opener or end of the saw usually work just fine). That file/saw is made for metal, although I wouldn't use it for hardened steel. Some people think the pliers are useless because they're not as beefy as a Leatherman, but I really like them. If I need heavy duty pliers, I'll have pliers or a larger multitool with me. Those pliers are precision! You can pull individual hairs with them, they make the tweezers redundant. As a result, I sharpened the tweezers so I have pointed tweezers to dig out a splinter if I need to. The little notches on the plier handles are for crimping. Also, you didn't mention the hole for a straight pin (also not included) in the red plastic by the base of the corkscrew. I wish it came with the corkscrew mini screwdriver. The chisel is, in my opinion, the most useless tool on this knife, mainly because of it's placement. Some don't like the awl, but I won't have a multitool without one.

Bought mine today for 48€. 😊

Great SAK have 6of them two limited edition and four standard ones.

The new victorinox companion is best for me

I carry a Huntsman the whole time was in the Army 1988 to 1995. I used it for everything from cutting open MRE s to tightening screws on a 5 ton truck in a pinch. It never let me down.

i$ posible to remove the gold?

The huntsman was my first knife give to me from my grandfather. It is at the present being cleaned up. My model is a 1960/70’s model 👍🤙👊

Good Video. My 2 Victorinox Swiss Army knifes that I've ever need or buy are the Huntsman and Explorer. I do prefer the Leatherman Multitools like the New Wave, Signal, Rebar and the Super Tool 300, I really love those pliers. PS Keep up the good work.(:.

Have in mind that Victorinox discontinued the red alox 😉👌

Typical

Nice job. Victirinox makes fabulous tools and keeps us buying them as we search for our best model. Keep it up and best of luck on the creek adventure near home.

As a man I can't trust a knife that hunts man
