    This video is the best one out there. Clearly showing differences between models AND what all the tools are actually for. No distracting music. No annoying narration. 10/10 !

    I've carried my Spartan for 30+ years. It's been invaluable. My dad always carried a pocket knife, so I do, too. It's not as common for us women, but it should be. I'm a firm believer that everyone should carry a good quality pocket knife.

      I am women, too. I also everyday carry knife last ~15 years.
      Now I am carrying 2- 3 knives in one time. My Leatherman's small multitool Squirt PS4 as a keychain tool works almost every day. Finger nail file, bottle opener and small knife helps me.
      If I need biger blade or biger scisors, in my backpack is the Victorinox Compact.
      Sometimes I add the Victorinox Signature Lite- there are LED light and nice, sharp small scissors, but not so proper blade, as my Leatherman's Squirt.

    Have owned a Swiss Champ for nearly 30 years and it has literally traveled the World 🌎 with me. I have used every tool, some tools are more used than others like both knife blades, scissors, pliers, magnifying loop, tweezers, cork screw, flat and Philips-head screw drivers - don’t forget the mini screw driver on the corkscrew, and the can and bottle openers. While some may chuckle and call me McGyver, this tool has proven itself invaluable over the years. They make wonderful presents to give at Christmas and birthdays.

    my grandpa always carries a swiss army knife, and I grew up thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I'm turning 20 this year and I'm thinking it's finally time for me to get a knife of my own. great video! thanks :)

      Cool, I just ordered one of these. I've carried 2 and 3 layer SAK's since the mid 90's but this will be the first 4 layer one I've owned. I always figured I never needed one, but have become accustomed to carrying a classic on my keys, and one with a saw in my pocket. Problem is, when I go fishing or backcountry I dont like to take my keys.

    I have been using the Camper for years as my EDC. For me it is right on the limit when it comes to size and thickness to through in my pocket every single day! It does everything I need in 99% of the cases of daily uses.

    After 20+ years of carrying the Camper I just realized that it fits perfectly in the fifth pocket if most of my jeans. Love it. Also the bottle opener is the best tool for putting back a bicycle chain on the gear.

    I started carrying a Climber back in the late 70’s or so. It’s been used on three continents and the scissors have cut about a mile of moleskin to patch my blistered feet. Great knife!

    @230mps 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I’ve carried a tinker for about 13 years. Probably the best for urban edc with all the good screwdriver options. For me, the models with corkscrews are better for outdoors/hiking/camping/hunting.

    • @1BeGe
      @1BeGe หลายเดือนก่อน

      After seeing the Felix Immler video where he used an SAK to open wine and the LEAST muscling method he gave didn't even use the corkscrew I'm at the point where I'm saying the corkscrew models aren't even best if you're a friggin sommelier.
      Why people defend that useless corkscrew at all is beyond me.

  • @ParkerBinion
    @ParkerBinion 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Love the video and production value! None of them have the magnifying glass, which is priceless because it makes me feel like a kid again every time I open it. But the Ranger is a powerhouse. The chisel pairs with the Leatherman Rebar bit adapter, allowing the Ranger to be used with 1/4" bits. Also, the position of the hook in relation to the key ring allows for Felix Immler's t-shank saw trick. Pretty much everything you need except pliers. Enter small Knipex pliers or maybe small Leatherman/SOG pliers (I like the discontinued SOG Synch 1 Travel).

    I have the Pioneer. My ex-husband bought two from the Army shop in Wynberg Cape Town in 1987 for R3.75 each. Mine has been invaluable.

  • @Steve.M
    @Steve.M 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The great thing about Swiss Army Knives is that whatever set tools you think you’ll need, there’s likely to be a model that provides it. My everyday knife is a Pioneer, mainly just because I love the look and feel of the metal scales. I’d like to put in a mention for the Sportsman too. I take it on hiking or cycling trips when I appreciate it for the more compact size and the built in nail file.

    • @FrankTerranova1
      @FrankTerranova1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wish they made a pioneer with the large and small blades and the bottom tools. For quite some time my go to tools are the scissors, small blade, andmawl. But I like the Pioneer X's better blade. 🤨

    • @bushleague3472
      @bushleague3472 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I carried a Farmer for over a decade, and loved it, then I almost had it confiscated while going into a hockey game. After that I decided to use something a little less dear, so I switched to a Hiker. Gotta say... while the Alox has more mojo the small blade, toothpick/ tweezers, and Philips are sure handy.

  • @SebastianSynn18252
    @SebastianSynn18252 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    For about 15 years now the SwissChamp has been my EDC. Once you get used to the size you don't even notice it anymore. When I go out into the woods I always have my Rangergrip 78. I like the larger blade and saw. But all my survival kits and bags have either a Camper or Huntsman for a back-up.

  • @SPQR-Z
    @SPQR-Z ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great comparison. The Ranger is a favorite for sure. I have a Huntsman which is kind of in between the Climber and Ranger. Recently picked up a 85mm S557 and that little knife is quite loaded up with also a locking blade. The larger 111mm WorkChamp is probably my favorite camping/outdoor oriented knife.

    I love your channel.
    The Huntsmen and Cybertool L are what I consider the best SAKs, though I also love my Ranger Grip 79 and my Nail Clip 580. None of which I use as an EDC, my Classic has that position though I plan on replacing it with a Signature Lite Onyx Black. I intend on modifying the bottle opener of my Huntsmen and RG 79 from a screwdriver to a chisel and the under belly into a ferro rod scraper. The bottle opener is useless and a chisel has more use than a screwdriver for bushcrafting, which is where I use these knives. I've added a SAK pen and a ferro rod to my RG 79 in the channel that holds the can opener and the bottle opener. The leaver arm of my Nail Clip 580 I also intend on modifying into a cuticle pusher, making it the complete nail care tool.

  • @diAx007
    @diAx007 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Don't quite agree. Instead of the Camper model, it is better to take the Mountiner, in which a saw for metal (which can almost always replace a saw for wood, has a sharp part at the tip for small Phillips screws) and scissors. In terms of functions, it will be almost like Ranger, but lighter. Among two-row models, Compact also is better ( if need can put bosh saw under hook)

      The magnifying glass on my Champion Plus is great for reading fine print on my phone screen. It is amazing that screen resolution is so good now that we can do this. I remember when color CRT displays came out for computers in the 80's and the pitch between phosphor dots was measured in mm. A monochrome screen was easier on the eyes.

    The only thing the cork screw is good for is holding tinder. Unless you’re stranded in the swiss alps with a wine bottle and new girl friend LOL. Love your videos Bro! I have a really good survival kit and have been considering adding a Victorinox to it. I have room so in your opinion which model should I add? I need to do another homemade survival kit video on the one I have. Would love to hear opinions on which model I could add.

    • @grantdavis5992
      @grantdavis5992 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For 50 years I avoided the corkscrew because I don't drink. I had a Tinker and then a Craftsman. Last year I moved to the Champion Plus (because I didn't want the bulk of the pliers and I always have a Knipex Cobra or Leatherman Wave. The corkscrew has actually won my heart because it will loosen knots. I love cordage and rope and good knots and splices, but I really hate random misplaced knots.
      The toothpick has been replaced with a Firefly ferrocerium fire lighter.

    • @bushleague3472
      @bushleague3472 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@grantdavis5992 The little hook on the can opener is great for loosening knots. As is the Awl. And hook. To the OP; I EDC a Fieldmaster, and keep a hatchet, pliers, and diamond stone in my day pack. I'm constantly in the bush, and between those tools there are very few backcountry problems that cant be solved.

    I've carried the non-serrated Trekker for years -- but sadly they aren't producing them anymore. I also have a Swisschamp, Classic, and an early Swisscard. Also have an early Hunter model with the slide blade lock on the side. All good knives, but the Trekker has worked out as the best EDC knife, backed up by the Classic on the keychain (mainly for fingernail trimming).

    • @bushleague3472
      @bushleague3472 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe, if you can live without the one-handed thing, the Trailmaster is the same. Non' serrated, one-handed Trekkers indeed seem to be rare. I was fortunate enough to find one on a Snap-on truck in the middle of nowhere, but oddly enough I've never warmed up to it.

      @MSkachenite The Victorinox Pliers are not that useful like People Think. They are madre for small Jobs and works. The wire cutter in the Pliers are kind of tint and bad , i cut a office clip and the Pliers stop working well. They are good, but not at Pliers

      @@Jack-pb6rh The Victorinox pliers always are stronger as my two finger touch. :)
      But my Vic's Handyman's pliers has no wire cuters. At least, I don't see them.
      If I need wire cuters, I also carry as a keychain tool the Leatherman Squirt PS4. That wire cutters works well.

    I don't know why they persist with the corkscrew. Screw tops are nearly universal now and I know for a fact even the top winemakers prefer them for their reliability and consistency. I have a five layer VSA I bought 30 years ago and, even though I was (and still am) into wine, I deliberately chose it for the crosshead screwdriver in place of the corkscrew.

      The corkscrew also makes actually whittling with the darn thing infinitely more uncomfortable, possibly if you were left handed it wouldn't chafe as much. For that reason I much prefer the Hiker to the camper, even though I feel the spine mounted driver is of limited use. On multiple occasions, in a pinch, I have trimmed an appropriately sized stick, and used the stick to drive the cork into the bottle.

      What ??? "The top winmakers" ??? Every good wine in France has a cork !! A corkscrew is therefore an essential element. Otherwise you carry a corkscrew separately!

    I have the Ranger. I changed the scales to white plus scales and added the tiny screwdriver to the corkscrew. I also have a Swiss Champ in black and an Alox Farmer that I carry in my wallet.

    I'm sorry I'm just not interested in ever having a SAK without the can opener. I know the situation doesn't come up a lot, but it fits the bill of "if I need to do X thing, can I fudge the job with another tool?" Where it is just indispensable

      I cant be the only one who packs a can of beans or Alphagetti when I'm headed into the bush? I use that can opener all the time, and that little screwdriver nub on the end is truly an engineering marvel. The amount of times I find myself favoring it, even with a proper set of screwdrivers handy, is astounding.

    Huntsman because it combines the climber and the camper. By the way I'm not a wenger guy.
