Thanks, I haven't used the digest function yet so this is very helpful. It's good to understand the difference between Vector and Original.

Climber is great for a tri-layers .hook, scissors.. . Explorer (quadri layers) is great too (climber+ magni-lens + phillips screwdriver in a compact ssize. 3 or 4 layers dont change handgip and maniability

Fantastic Info, thanks for sharing.

Not micarta! G10.

you would probably love the SAK Yeoman but not the price for 1 now because they have long been retired for decades. It's a Compact with an extra layer with the phillips and magnifying glass. Stupidly over priced. $200-ish for 1.

CLIMBER WITH PLUS SCALES is best for edc

For me, the Explorer is the most underrated SAK, and my go-to EDC. It has an in-line Philips (so much better than the T-Philips IMO), scissors, two blades, the opening layer (better than the combo tool IMO), and even the corkscrew and awl regularly come in handy! I sometimes switch to my Compact when wearing shorts, but I’m surprised that not more people talk about the Explorer. I’ve even used its magnifying glass to read tiny text on labels.

This was great! Thank you! Anyway to do an updated version?

When my friends tell me "You always carry it, but you never use it!", I reply "I haven't needed it. Isn't that wonderful!".

My Climber is nice, but I prefer the Huntsman. My current EDC is the Alox Farmer X.

@6:18 I disagree; the compact is not "very overpriced" it has plus scales and costs so much because it is hand-assembled, and it has the unique nail-file on the parcel hook (not found on any other SAK); installing the pin and pen is not automated, hence, these are more expensive to produce as is the Compact parcel hook. All plus-scale knives cost more. How much would you pay for a hand-assembled knife? @12:40 noted above Victorinox can't add the pin to knives that are machine produced that's why so few come with it. (Watch Jon Gadget's video of his Victorinox factory tour. Hand assembly is explained @4:40 through @5:48.) If you want to add a pin get a Dressmakers pin #22 size:20 1-1/4" long in Nickel-plated steel. For me, the Compact is the knife I carry just going around town. I have many SAKs to choose from... To each his own. For me, I love the compact, it was worth $59 to me and was not a rip-off owing to the unique features in a very compact-carry knife.

Great video. Where can i get that exact strap? Love the magnet

It's a good one.

This is one of those you have to mod to get the most out of. It's so darn close to being there, but it just falls short in stock form.

Its a tool box awesome 😎😎

I have EDC the Swiss champ really cool and practical knife droped it in my pocket and away it goes.

Most beer/lager bottles in Europe have serrated Crown Corks bottle caps. Which are much easier and safer to open with a bottle cap opener.

1 minute into the video and it's already a "I'm not saying anything, I'm not here to argue, I'm not here to be right"... Okay 🙂I'm not here to watch this video, I'm not here to comment, I'm not here to win, I'm here just to leave this comment and leave the video @00:50, bye.

WAY TOO BIG. No thanks. I have a Climber as my EDC. To be it's all about the weight. Anything bigger than a three layer in Victorinox just seems like too much to carry in my pocket. And if I want something to throw in a pouch, then I would rather have something more like a Leatherman.

The Hide & Drink (H&D) leather belt pouch is perfect for the SwissChamp and it's really cheap on Amzn. I like to carry that and a mini champ, for complimentary coverage, in a zippered leather pouch with two knife/flashlight holding bands H&D also makes in my front pocket. I usually don't need most of the tools on the two champs, but man, when I do need a rare tool it's so much better to have them than not.

unless you live in a chateu in the french countryside the climber makes no sense when the super tinker replaces the cork screw for a philips

This seems like the perfect sling bag or car knife. If you are wearing pants and a belt then maybe pocket carry but tossing it in my gym shorts to head to the grocery store? Probably not

A while back, I had a victorianox that had no blade. I also believe they do some TSA safe products with no blade.

I like long videos!

Compact new in canada is about 75$ 🤬

Have you really used the prybar? Was is not worth the cost or time?

You really didn't do your homework on this tool. The scissors may not impress you because they are small, but they cut great, yes they cut paracord if you know how. You want a 4 inch blade on a 3 inch tool? You really need to know what your talking about before you share your opinions. It hasn't even occurred to you the options a quarter inch driver affords you. The gears on the pliers double the force of the grip.

The ranger is another under-appreciated model... it's much smaller and more compact than a champ, but has the saw and the file, as well as all of the back tools that the champ has... Good camping knife. (5 layer design)... (vs 8 on the champ, and 2 of those extra 3 layers are very thick (the pliers and 3d screwdriver layers)) looks like 7 because of the dividers, but I count the fish scaler layer as the 8th layer.

if you like the 2d phillips on the climber, the classic sd screwdriver I believe also does 2d phillips. (don't get me wrong, I like the 91mm models myself cause I like the larger tools)

The best phillips driver Victorinox makes is surprisingly on the Rambler. If you really wanted to, you can carry both the Climber & the Rambler without any noticeable difference. As for a pair of pliers, the 4 inch xs cobra from Knipex comfortably fits inside a pair of jean’s small pocket (the pocket above the right-side pocket).

I have pocket carried my Swiss Champ nearly every day since I bought it new in 1985. It has saved my bacon many many times !

How to the magnets affect the mag strips on your cards?

Thank you for sharing this EDC

Great set up man. And that Parker MP is beautiful. Love those as an edc!

The Swiss Champ is a fine tool but it's a brick, better suited to a desk drawer than an on person carry. I generally carry an Explorer and a Leatherman Sidekick. Is it more weight than a Champ? Yes. But that weight is distributed between 2 pockets, not one. I decided a long time ago that that trying to find ONE tool that does everything you want is fruitless.

Regarding the hygiene of the toothpick. 2 things. I have a titanium toothpick in a long capsule on a keyring I keep in my coat pocket with many other items on it. I use it quite a lot. I also carry a little spray bottle of 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol that I use for my hands, my glasses, general other things like cleaning glue off of blades and surfaces and I often use it to sanitise my toothpick. I just ordered a Climber and a Compact as I have a brother's birthday coming up and I can't decide which one to keep for myself.

I don’t think any of those are “loser” tools as you call them. It’s a matter of having the correct hand and finger dexterity in using them. Granted yeah if you want to chisel away at something for two hours then you use a normal length, stand alone chisel. But that can be said on any tool that is in the Swiss champ. Point being is that these tools all serve a function and do work but for quick operations.

The screwdriver on the back is the perfect size for the screws on wire to wire electric connectors 😉

Idk how many people dislike the hook, but personally, it's my favorite. I used it to take multiple bags of trash down, and once used my belt to bundle a lot of firewood and used the hook to carry it. Also, use it to take the cage cover thing off of an above ground fire pit. My favorite tool by far

Rambler!

You missed the electrical connector crimper on the back of the pliers. Have carried the Swiss Champ in a leather pouch on my belt for years, never had a problem. It's always handy and does not get in the way. Used to work assembling Class A trucks. I was always getting metal splinter in my hands. The tweezers were a life saver.

god forbid we use a knife for things a knife is used for.

You sound suspiciously like a fan of the competition (if you can even call it that 😂). But seriously, thanks for sharing your two cents (and a peek at your Spyderco).

Such a shame the Manager has been discontinued. Only the far more expensive Nite Manager is available

The phillips multi tool is the reason I have a Rambler as my daily carry.

I carry a Huntsman. I used the saw at work today to breakdown a 3 meter wooden crate.

I carry a Handyman I've modified with Plus scales. I don't find too much difficulty carrying it, but it is hooked to my belt, hanging in my pocket, so it's different from just dropping it in a pocket. When I've tried dropping it in my pocket it has been a bit noticeable.

Great video, congrats👏👏👏. I use to carry a Ranger 91mm daily for the reasons you've mentioned. It has ALL the things I really need (and save me both: money and space). Cheers from Brazil 🙏

What about your credit cards, have they been affected by the magnets?
