Life time warranty ? Yea who's life

Great review. Useful info.

I think you should have put Hardness testing in the title, you'd get way more views. In some vids showing the spec sheet is says 3cr on this one and 5cr on the old multitool version on the general metal used. So I bought the old 18in1 multiool, but if the blade actually is 8cr13 on the new one thats a better buy perhaps.

Good catch on the FAKE lifetime warranty, I cant sell those products in Norway because of false advertisement making the product illegal to sell.

Tempting... i just need something bigger and tougher to complement the Squirt PS4. I wonder if it can hold up against Farmer X Alox

Thank-you - great review 👍. I ordered this from AliExpress and was looking for feedback from others. What is the actual weight compared to the Wave? I would like to see the procedure for sharpening the blade as you did. Thanks.

I totally agree when the Chinese want to get it right they get it right and it's perfect absolutely brilliant stuff I think what they're saying if you look after it will last you a lifetime let's face it is as humans we're a little bit like cars we break down as much sometimes not all the time anyway I'm going to speed off👍 and it looks like a really nice multi-tool I like it

Thank you for bringing up your first 2 points, when this company first came out with their “wave” look-alike I had to investigate and found that it was a Chinese company with a worthless warranty. I dislike that they tacked on the “Swiss” nomenclature because like you pointed out there was no way that it had to do with the Swiss country and its history of excellence in manufacturing. Other than that these Chinese knock off products are not too bad and they make a DL30 Leatherman “Surge” lookalike that I’m very interested in and will buy soon. Is it because it’s such a great multi-tool? That’s a big NO, but it is a fraction of the cost of all the Leatherman tools I currently have. I’ve bought and used Leatherman tools for the last 45 years and can appreciate its excellent design and quality, I have no regrets for what I’ve spent over the years upgrading and replacing lost tools but I can’t beat that warranty, you break it, send it in and you basically get a new one back! You cannot beat that nowadays. I’ve even done things to my tools that were clearly beyond coverage of the warranty and still gotten it repaired or replaced. Now…will I ever buy a real Leatherman tool again? Probably not, I feel that they have priced themselves out of the real working man’s toolset with their ridiculous pricing on accessories and tools and availability, and their Garage series tool distribution has been totally disappointing. I’ve tried to buy some of those editions and they are sold out within seconds and show up on eBay in the next few seconds for 4-5 times what the original value was. Leatherman will have to build a really special Multitool for me to ever buy one from them again, I’m done with them and will no longer recommend them to anyone and this comes from a guy who has most of their inventory of TRUE Multitools and has given most all of my family Leatherman Tools as presents because I believed that much in this company. They worship the almighty Dollar now and are not the company they used to be.

Finally someone who doesn’t just show the implements but actually uses them. Videos that show Multitools with saws rarely actually test the saw.

Very good and thoughtful review. Will be staying away from Swiss Tech after you pointing out the false advertising concerning the warranty. Will stay with Leatherman.

It is the perfect toolset to carry with something like a Knipex Cobra XS or small slipjoint pliers. Personally I do prefer my Victorinox Famer X for a similar toolset although it lacks the bit driver, because I know I can rely on it for ever and the scissors on it are outstanding, and I use them most days.

Good video

I got this same tool from Aliexpress as it was exactly what I wanted. I knew what I was going into with China and such. The tool and everything worked, but some things were misaligned and seemed warper or bent when closing tools and such. They would rub too hard on the sides when closing. I contacted them on Aliexpress and they wanted a videos and pics. I sent those. Then all they offered was a little money back. I just wanted it swapped. I ended up taking it all apart and using a vice and got everything aligned and put it back together and it has been fine.

Greatly enjoyed this review! Your knowledge and hands-on time with the tool were very insightful. Definitely will come back for future reviews on affordable EDC items/multitools

Thanks so far for your comments. Really amazing to see that it is of interest to you all. Would you mind sharing how you came across my video? TH-cam search, posted on a forum or maybe someone shared it with you? Knowing that might help me improve the channel. I appreciate it 😊

Good honest review, love your attention to detail.

Victorinox has obviously gone for their tried and trusted approach with knife steel - 14C 28N, which is a good all-round knife steel, featuring a good balance of capabilities without excelling in all of them, really. As you pointed out it is aimed at cutting, and bushcrafting, and in that dept it will perform well. I can say this because Felix Immler says so, and he should know, as he led the design team, and he is an acknowledged authority on using knives outdoors! In presenting this knife Victorinox has included some interesting innovations, not all of which are universally liked, but this is normal! Going with the full flat grind is an example. Felix explained that, after exhaustive trials, they found that the knife in Scandi grind offered only marginally better performance, and managing this flat grind in the field gives the advantage of simplicity in sharpening and maintenance, and quite superior in cutting/slicing and food prep. The sheath in particular raised many criticisms and it may well be that there will be improvements in that area, or improvements in quality of production quality and design. Watch this space. If I was in the market for a bushcrafting knife, this Venture (in Pro format) would enjoy my close attention.

Really enjoyed your review. I’ve been looking for a multi tool that has a good tool set but is also easy to carry.

Very nice >>>>>> Thank you .

Very nice! I agree with you strongly on the first two points! Bogus marketing and guarantees from a manufacturer really turns me off. The tool and tool set is very similar to a tool that I built from the Walmart Multiforce two years ago. I removed the pliers and one of the handles from the tool. I then integrated all the internal implements from the tool into the handle with the blade. I also removed the saw and replaced it with the serrated blade. It’s a great little tool!

The Chinese steal most of their designs, and they know the public is on to them.

Look forward to more reviews on the budget series of multitools

I appreciate your review, The Flying Gearman. Your viewpoint of knife designers being afraid to design an actual knife and not a prybar is valid. "Survival" knives are very popular and that knife design is creeping into other segments. In the future, please do without the cheesy sound clips at 0.08 and 0:43.

What mora knife would you say is closest to the venture in size and function.?

Stabil video bro

Viper knives makes some beautiful knives.

1 year later but I just stumbled into this knife. How is it in the kitchen.

This knife makes me so horny.

Why does this thing look so beautiful? I NEED!

It's a stunner, no doubt! I don't know how comfortable this thing is, but it looks like a very good medium size camp/hunting blade.

Hi! Hollow grind?

Does it have a 90 degree spine?
