I like them. They don’t work all that well for the larger SAKs, but for anything smaller or up to a Huntsman, I think they are attractive and useful. I use danglers for my larger knives and they work great.
Just use the hooked backend of the toothpick and tweezers for pulling. This also works fine on nailnicks hard pull. If you upgrade to Plus scales then the multi purpose hook can be used to slide the ballpen under for writing.
Growing up, a short lanyard attached to the split or a bale, hung out of a boy's pocket, kept the knife up and easy to grab. Victorinox also sells danglers. And boys used to make those out of big paper clips. This clip is clever, looks well-made. However it is for post tactical knife-must-have-clip generations. In fact a Victorinox with a clip is awkward, and doesn't feel right, or serve any purpose. As anyone's preference, yes, no criticism whatsoever. I most usually carry a Huntsman, or a Ranger. Too thick for that kind of carry. Into my belt pouch they go. Hiking brush country, clip folders are at high risk of working up with each right leg high step. And being caught on woody shrubbery. Most hikers I know take clips off or have an easy access pocket on their rucksack. Or, use a belt sheath. Still, clever engineering and I suppose ok for those want a clip on light but chunky pocket knife. Good for clipping onto a car visor maybe. Thanks!
Interesting product but I think I prefer just attaching a suspension clip to the keyring to hang the knife in my pocket. I do use the hook on some models, because you can put the ink pen under it to make the knife handle the pen handle. That said, I have a lot of Swiss Army Knives so I may try this out sometime anyway.
They (or some company) should make a replaceable scale, that has a pocket hook on it, and a flashlight using a 2032 battery. Now any knife can get a legit upgrade, that in 30 seconds you can restore to stock configuration.
Much better and cheaper solution is to get a pocket clip with a hole at the end for a ring. Then feed that into the lanyard loop on the Victorinox. The pocket clip keeps it oriented vertically and no loss of access to any of the tools. Much cheaper also.
Thanks for this review! It is an attractive clip... I don’t own a SAK (looking to buy one for my hubby) and I was wondering if it would be possible the swap the toothpick and tweezers around for easy access to tweezers?
Having a pocket clip is a must for me on my EDC. I got a Victorinox Alox Pioneer for Christmas. Unfortunately this style doesn’t work for that knife, so I got an adhesive Nite Ize HipClip for it. So far, so good.
The Swissqlip does not normally ship with the screwdriver you received, it does not work with any Alox SAK. The clip is good overall even with the drawbacks. I just wish we could install a pocket clip straight onto the plastic scales ad save the extra bulk
I personally find the pocket clip ruins the aesthetics of a Swiss Army knife and perhaps the reason why Victorinox does not offer a pocket clip option in it's 100+ year history. Maybe on the Swiss Tool with the industrial Leatherman ergonomics it's OK, but not on a pocket knife. I guess it comes down to preference.
I thought about getting one but simply made my own instead. Has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks mentioned. I modified an Olight I3T clip and attached with a 3M adhesive strip for a clip draw. Works great.
Ahhh....great! Ive been using the Fieldmaster and the Huntsman for years. Yes... I carry two. I was about to send mine in for warranty. And found your video.
@@name5949 I carry both... One in the pocket...one in the pack. But most of the time it hangs around my neck. I do a lot of cordage...string and rope clean up. And I have to undo alot of Knott's. Corkscrew works wonders.... I had to get a bigger corkscrew and tether it to my Fieldmaster. So I can dig out knots. And not ruin my Huntsman.
I found a clear 3M hook at work, which I use for the same purpose. Substantially cheaper (even if I did pay for it, which I didn't :p), and actually gives the knife a more contoured handle grip during use. Easy to remove, with just a little adhesive to clean.
@@txtoolcrib I just added the sticker hook to the rest of my SAKs minutes ago. It works very well. What I like is you can stick it any way you want, giving you a high/low pocket carry, and you can either put it on the scale or the spine, depending on the thickness of your SAK. If you have a means for me to send you pictures, I'm willing to.
A really great idea for those who carry 4-layer or thicker SAK's. I don't carry anything thicker than 3 layers, so this would be useless to me.. I'm carrying a Super Tinker at the moment and I barely know it's there.
I have epoxied pocket clips to al my saks for the last 10years. the only downside is that you have to do it again everytime you change scales. This looks so clunky and expensive in comparison
What model did you cross out on the package for what it fits, and why? It might be my fault if I missed something, I think your videos are dope, keep on keeping on my friend 👍👍👍
I actually didn’t mark that one out. It came to me that way. I’ll have to go back and check it to verify which model it was for sure. Thanks for the compliment, appreciate you watching.
For that price... I'll keep using my nite ize clip
It is a bit pricey.
Wow. Who in their right mind would put a clip on a champ and have a hugeeeeeeeeeee bulge in their pocket??
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Really better for 3 layer and less. Ideal for a two layer I think.

I see someone watches Felix Inmer
@@BassMaster.454 Yep, the man is a legend. Fair to say, I got my my very first SAK before the man was born.

Your reasoning is pretty sound, thanks for the input.

It isn't a perfect solution, I will agree with that.

Now that’s a fantastic idea!
I love it! I’m buying 3 tonight! Thanks for Sharing
Please let me know how you like it. It would be great to get some real world feedback on this item.
$40.00 clip for my $49.00 fieldmaster,..........I don't think so.......
I understand.
You think it evogrip 18

Loop a string around the parcel hooks "hook" that way you can pull it out when needed. Clip is ingenious. Thank's 👍
Yes sir. Good idea on the string btw.
Really like your idea of the string for the parcel hook works fine thanks for sharing that👍
Great review, cheers mate, I’m definitely getting one for my tinker deluxe, I’ve been wanting for years to have a medium SAK clipped to my belt 👍🏻

So far, so good.
@365 Survivalist One advantage of the SwissQlip is that it is removable. The HipClip won't come off without work and potential damage to the scales.
I just ordered the Pioneer X. I think I’m going to like that one.
365 Survivalist unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that. I’ll have to research it a bit more.
@@txtoolcrib That sounds perfect for you. I know you love those Victorinox scissors.
I wonder why victorinox hasn't made a scale with an incorporated pocket clip on it...
Would fit that
The Swissqlip does not normally ship with the screwdriver you received, it does not work with any Alox SAK. The clip is good overall even with the drawbacks. I just wish we could install a pocket clip straight onto the plastic scales ad save the extra bulk
That would be sweet. I'm surprised nobody has made one designed like that yet.

This should've been compared to the cheap clip that dangles from lanyard split ring
Like it BUT one loses the ring for keys, in my case. Cheers.

Does it work on alox ?
Nite ize hip clip,, ????
I like the clip. It just seems pricey. Thanks for another great review!
It is. But considering that it can easily be swapped between models make it slightly more appealing.
TX Tool Crib I’m just watching this one to catch a sale or price drop. Might be a while though! Ha ha.

I really really like it. The fields an as well. But if I buy a clip, with shipping, it cost as much as 2 saks. 😒And boy do I love my Saks 😍
Bought it. Worth every penny.
Doesn't fit my Pioneer X Alox.... wahhhhh :( LOL.... thanks for the video :)
I love the Pioneer X.
Expensive…but I want one 🙏🏼🇬🇧 another great video too
Thank you.
This seems to solve a problem in a way that makes the problem worse. It’s clunky and goofy.
Victorinox needs to make a solution for this, their sales would benefit from it.
I have epoxied pocket clips to al my saks for the last 10years. the only downside is that you have to do it again everytime you change scales. This looks so clunky and expensive in comparison
What type of clip do you use?
They could have tapered the back of the clip down to a wedge shape then it would slide into a pocket easier
I agree.
Also it attaches to the correct side if your scales are Plus scales.
That’s true. I hadn’t thought about that.
Will it work on the compact?
Unfortunately it does not work on the Compact.
Now that’s a cool accessory, thanks for the review and a happy new year. 👍🙂
Happy New Year to you as well!
it's great for my Huntsman Lite!
Yes sir.
Count this collector out. Thanks for the review.
You don't care for a pocket clip on an SAK, or just not this particular style?
@@txtoolcrib All of the above.

@@txtoolcrib I think it's the compact, which is an amazing sak, idk if it is 91 mm I think it is
It is. I ordered one in. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to arrive before I have to leave for work.
I want one so bad , probably in the next few weeks , great review 👍👍 so your links go to the Huntsman , are they the same , Fieldmaster and huntsman ?
No, that shouldn’t be. I will get it corrected this evening. I apologize.
I got it corrected. Sorry about that.
The difference in the Huntsman is that it replaces the Phillips screwdriver with a corkscrew, apart from that they are identical.
Looks good
So far I like it.
Abomination! Awful!
wow! this is cool! great video my friend I will be getting one in the future!
Thank you
