your store still up...?

You need to heat it up!

Only thing that beats it is he swisschamp for me which I unironically carry all the time. The super tinker and tinker delux though are my favorites

Are you still selling scales?

Thanks for the tip cause i had a gap in mine and needle kept falling out

thank you for the tutorial. Im gonna sure replace an explorers scale with these.

The sheath is pretty secure. I gave my wife,(night shift nurse)one of these. It rode on her keychain for years. But unfortunately came out and is gone forever. I am looking to replace it for her. I would suggest neck carry, not keychain. But I know that keychain is the only way she would actually use it. Great little piece of kit

I love the pliers, but I really don’t like the perpendicular phillips head… I think I’d prefer the Cybertool M with the whole driver head suite, but it does start to get rather bulky. I’d like one with the standard in-line phillips/LED light with pliers, and maybe even the package opener from the new Companions 🤙

3D printed 84 mm plus scales (w/ pen slot) would be a big seller on your Etsy.

Nice! Where did you get the mini rug? Very cool.

I carry the victorinox compact, It’s a bit pricey, but I went with it anyway .

Love your lilrug!

You think yellow is the best hi-vis colour?

You missed opening the hole at opposite end of pen and tweezers and hole for extra pin.

You should get a WORK CHAMP 6 LAYER SWISS Army Knife it is even better ! Bigger more tools !

I often find the need for small quick plies so I feel like this is perfect for me.

Hi- Really late comment of mine, but I can't go by without saying how good your SAK videos are. Real tools analysis instead of just showing the tools. Please more of this if you can. Thank you!

victorinox waiter eyelet made by mix copper + steel not strong enough 😢

They are PINS, not needles.

Thanks for the video! Just got some replacement handles for a used SAK I picked up and this is exactly what I needed.

Using this knife as anything other than a deep concealment offensive weapon is contrary to its design. And yes I said offensive weapon. A punch dagger by its very nature is used to attack.

What do you think of the SOG Powerpint?

In the absence of a Corkscrew, use the Phillips to push the cork downwards into the bottle, then pour the wine past the cork.

Cool! Thank you for sharing

The Waiter is one of the most underrated knives. Great value for money. Fantastic tool-to-layer ratio. I’ve added a pin, mini screwdriver and a Quattro screwdriver which cost, all in, £25. I also want to add a Jetsetter to give me some scissors and the mini combo tool. That’d put it up to around £40.

Yo! 100th subscriber

How secure is that sheath for putting it on keychain or neck?

It would be nice if the scales had additional storage or capabilities. I saw someone modded their SAK to hold a high strength string and a fish8mg hook inside the scale. If it was slightly thicker, you could add a small ferrocerium rod or other item.

The pliers are the reason I picked a Deluxe Tinker over other models. I use them all the time.

I’ve been using a wood Huntsman as my EDC for the past 9 months. I mainly use the large blade, scissors and cap lifter. I’ve used the awl for removing small stones stuck in the tread of my boots. Curiously, the saw blade came in handy for cutting open small crusty rolls in our hotel room each day whilst we were on holiday! The only short coming I’ve found is that there are times when I’ve wished it had a proper Philips screwdriver for replacing batteries in the kids toys. I received my Deluxe ST Damast LE today. It is a beautiful knife, very similar in size to the Huntsman. Some might argue that is a collectors item and too good to use, however I plan to use it as my EDC and enjoy it for a while to see if it can take the place of my Huntsman. Thanks for the video, it was useful to hear your thoughts on the two knives side by side.

Interesting now you have no Ideal about history but talking away. Probably freedom of speech. Total anybody dann talk what they have no Idea about

I agree with your assessment. And I appreciate the history. I have some SWKs but none have pliers. I just ordered a deluxe tinker I think I will like it for edc.thanks for the video...

My scales were pretty scratched after about 20 years. I replaced the red with black….Sweet!

The corkscrew is awesome for untying hard knots. I use it all the time backpacking. Also, a lot more people in the States drink wine now. And lots always have in Europe.

I disagree with the battery terminal it did not work for me.

EDC criteria: SAK and/or multitool carried on jeans pockets only. No holster or any other external bag. After trying several times to EDC the Huntsman, keep coming back to my trustee Camper w/suspension clip and corkscrew firefly on right front pocket. I added a G. Dime in the small front pocket adding the light duty pliers and scissors. Though on replacing the Camper with SAK Climber (loose the saw) or SAK Compact (get the pen but combo tool too fiddly). Although is rarely used you can not beat the saw capability. Next improvement: Adding plus scales to the Camper. PS: I consider the 3D Phillips overrated as per its location on the tool and the rare scenario of recessed screws.

Great knife have three of them use one at work.

Thank you for your demonstration. Often, I have wondered what the technique for is removing the scales. Oops, at 7:18 you said add a flint. Actually, it is adding a ferrocenium rod, a.k.a. ferro rod. Recall, flint is stone used as a striker on another rock or high carbon steel. It is the ferro rod or steel sparking not the flint. Yes, anything hard and sharp scrapped on the ferro rod or high carbon steel, will cause both to spark.

Can you buy a scale for the victorinox 580? Its 65mm and u can only find 58mm scales. Please help

I do have a question about the extra scale parts. Do they have one for the explorer as well?

Never liked the corkscrew, I got the deluxe tinker, because of the hook

I have 2 rangers, both red, I'd like to change the scales on my newer one, do most new scales come with the needle hole (under the corkscrew) plus is it possible to get scales for it that will take a pen, or do you need to have a knife that already holds a pen?

Excellent. Can you share a link on your edc clip?

The 3D printed burnt orange scales are fire! Really love that shade and the improved visibility for those times when you need it is a welcome feature.

The yellow looks good surprisingly enough. I like the idea of extra visibility

Didn't a lot of boys get their first pocket knives when they joined the Boy Scouts and the Swiss Army Knife was the one that the Boy Scouts either gave as a reward, ( maybe for reaching a certain level, or having a certain number of patches). But I believe that was one of their biggest boosts for U.S. sales and popularity. But I also heard it was because of exposure to them in WW II . Any thoughts?

I fucking hate victorinox' snap-on celidor scales. Even if you do warm up the scales they tend to age like ass and come off 2-3 years after the scale upgrade.

Thanks! Its very helpful, i thought there only certain SAK can fit the pen. Cheers!

yeah, I like the Dlx Tinker, it's my EDC, for everyday life it works

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful. I got the yellow and black versions with the pen & pin. I'm super happy with the upgrades! Oh, and I have the same DeWalt clamp. That worked perfect to ensure a solid placement
