The can opener can drive a phillips head screw just fine, making the 79 (with corkscrew) the better bet for me. Corkscrew can do much more than just open wine, AND there are corkscrew inserts like various screwdrivers or the Fireant. I too ordered the 79 by accident, but kept it after learning all the corkscrew can do. (See Felix Immler of course) Wonderful video, dude.
Only Americans care for one-hand closing (and the type of steel too). Not judging anyone here, but that's an interesting fact. Europeans will look into other things, such as quality, style, durability and the knife company's history/culture. Europeans use the corkscrew to pop wine bottles open. Americans use it to untie knots (really really funny). Over the years Victorinox has given in to American demands (HUGE market, so why not?) such as one-hand opening and a pocket clip (in a few models only). If the American market weren't so substantial, Victorinox would never have created these features because Europeans just don't care enough about them. To a large extent, Americans look at pocket knives as emergency/rescue tools, versus Europeans, who look at them to spread butter on bread, open a can, a wine bottle or a beer, go on a picnic, etc (though not an absolute rule, of course). I don't think there's a single European that has a 'bug out bag', but that's a smart thing to have and I command Americans for their culture of preparedness. Americans are always ready for Armageddon 😃.
It's in our nature. We see them as tools and as weapons, just as we do firearms. Tens of millions of us carry guns on a daily basis, which is a crazy concept to folks in other countries. I go back and forth on knives. My most common knife carried is either a SAK of some sort, a Spyderco, or maybe a Benchmade Bugout... One handed opening and pocket clips are for a couple reasons. Ease of carry and quick access. And here, we are allowed to carry locking and one handed opening blades. That's what you want if you had to use it to defend yourself from someone, or even an animal... But many times I am trying to hold something with one hand, and I have to retrieve and open the knife with the other... So the pocket clip means I always know where it is, and how it is oriented. And one handed opening, well that's self explanatory... Locking, I see as less of a weapon and more of a safety device. Plenty of times I am trying to cut into a tough plastic package and you have the risk of slipping and having it close on your fingers.
I travel often to Germany, from Guatemala, for work reason. I always carry a hidden push dagger. In more than one occation I have reached for it, because a German was looking menacing or screaming racial slurs at me. Never showed it, but in case I need it, I have it. At home I conceal carry. In America we like to be prepared.
Glad Russians like American knives but it seems like soon you’ll get to know Ukrainian-style knives too. You’ll appreciate their sharpness and resilience, trust me. They’ll take over the Russian market very very soon, wait for it.
I butter my baguette and have opened many a bottle of vin rouge with my SAK... I'm English so more European I suspect, and not expecting the zombie apocalypse in the next few weeks!
I always use the Wenger knife ist my handbag knife and what i really love about it is that the original has a Wenger knife originally have a glassbraker. I used it just ounces in a care creche but it was a literary a live sever.
Thank you for this video 👍👍 I have dozens of Victorinox Officers knives & wanted to purchase a larger model for heavier duty work. I had been trying to decide between the 130mm Ranger Grip 78 & the 111mm Locksmith for ages & your video was really informative. Based on your views I purchased the Ranger Grip 78 which I absolutely love. Thanks again from New Zealand
I bought the soldier knife for the one-handed opening function and I experienced the same issue as you described. I persevered for a week and then gave the knife to my left-handed friend who had no issue with closing.
Great review! I picked up a German Army 111mm a few years ago as a knife-first alternative to my usual Leatherman and after a week of carrying it, I gave up for the same reasons you did. One hand opening without easy one hand closing is a deal breaker for me, not that one hand opening is easy. I got to try out a Wenger/Delemont recently (a Rangergrip 61 and a 78) and vastly prefer them. It's amazing just how much better thought out they are compared to the Victorinox 111mm and it's a shame they're going away. I don't have a need for a knife this big most of the time, but the Wenger isn't going anywhere.
The best 110mm model, is the Rucksack, It has the best grip and size and the tools that you need,without being heavy or thin.The only model for the outdoors, with zero cons. The Forester than looks very similar, it isn't the same at all. It's way too heavy for the pocket and the knife doesn't cut as good, as on the Rucksack.I also don't like it's locking mechanism, because it's akward,where the locking on Rucksack, is a dream to use. The saw also cuts faster on the Rucksack, which is also the knife ,that Ethan Becker and other famous knife designers and knifemakers, carry every day!! You should give it a try, to see what I'm talking about.
for me with glove size 11 hands the 111mm is OK but the 130mm is perfect size. I have both the 111mm outrider and the 130mm rangergrip 79. i use the outrider around the house since it has the inline philips and the scissors but when im out in the woods i go for the ranger grip every time. superior both blade and saw makes it the better camping knife hands down. plus the locking mechanism is much better than newer 111mm, mine is an old one so it has the slide lock which works great but the push button on the RG79 is even better. shoutout to my little pocket friend pioneer X
I edc the same Ranger Grip 79 but with the green/black scales. I had a guy make me a custom leather case that goes on my belt. It’s not in my pocket so I forget it’s there, until I need it. Great knife!
To fix the blade opening issues I would recommend adding a screw and locking nut to the blade opening like some knives do on their blades as an aid for opening some knife blades.
The point of the blade is on purpose so it wont break off as easy as a thin point would, has a home over top of it so there's barely any tip out in front to be snapped off as easily when you're prying or digging or cutting or batoning or anyting. Its for tip strength.
That makes some sense, but it makes the blade a poor piercing tool. And on the SAK's that don't have locking blades, I feel like that makes them less safe, because you have to put a lot more pressure on it to pierce something, and if it slips, that would not be fun...
@@SquireSCA exactly my first pocket knife had a blade like the traditional Swiss army knife, and I was trying to open something when I was a kid and it literally shut on my fingers cutting 3 of them pretty badly. So I do agree I was just saying simply why they did what they did haha 🤣
Which I guess makes sense. Its nice that it gives the option, but I guess that my expectations of it flicking open like most knives that have a thumbhole, isn't realistic...
I bought these same two knifes to compare the deployment. In my case the Locksmith SAK opens easier than the Ranger Wenger. I guess is the thumb size the one that is determinant. The blade part is the same, Wenger seems better built. The opening part is really weird, the Locksmith is supposed to be easier to opem due to the torque (smae force x distance to pivot) than the Ranger. That is rhe behavior I had, which is explained by the theory.
The locksmith knife with the file allows you to file a flathead grove in screws that are raised and stripped out for other bits. Then just use the flathead screwdriver and remove the stripped screws.
PS The cockscrew choice, adds more utility making the tool more versatile, than the choicce of the screwdriver. That's why because you can use other tools and the flat screwdriver, to do the same job the crosshead screwdriver can. Cockscerw as all Victorinox tools ,are designed to work for way more than just one use. Just the ability, to untie knots, is enough to choose the corkscrew, over the screwdriver, that you already have tha function, on other tools on all SAKS.
I ordered a trekker and was very disappointed they put out such a poorly functioning knife. Returned it asap. Ordered the 79 and much happier with it. Still not great for one hand but an improvement, and soooo much easier to close right handed. To me they are both a camping/hiking knife not my preference for edc
Thanks for this video, I was really curious to know about that locking mechanism and the different user experiences with the Wegner opening vs the Victorinox opening--so thanks for that. I do have a few questions regarding scissors. I was searching for the best multitool scissors and was trying to find more information on the different scissors' designs and their best use cases. Between Wenger / Delemont / Victorinox(?) I was curious to know if the spring metal was better or the end-mounted type like the Delemont? At what length is one better than another? The model I was looking at in particular was the Victorinox RangerGrip 71 Gardener Knife (discontinued)
I find the Victorinox scissors to be the best pocket knife EDC scissors. They work extremely well, and the spring is replaceable, although I've never needed to replace it.
I didn't get what your problem is with the first Victorinox, the slim one without the hole in its blade. You said it was kind of perfect, but still you were looking for a replacement. Why? Only because you can't close it with your right hand?
@@michavandam Convenience. Oftentimes, what needs cutting is being held in one hand, so I need to draw the knife with the other, open it, cut it, close it and slide it back into my pocket... Doing that smoothly with one hand makes it all easier.
@@michavandam Anything that needs cutting. I like the option available to me. There are plenty of times where I carry a classic slipjoint... But my preference is a one handed opening and locking knife... You never know what life will throw at you... Maybe you will need to defend yourself, who knows...
Use it for what? And no offense, but there have been plenty of military contracts awarded based on the lowest bidder. I like the knife, I have several of them, but I do wish that the one handed opening was a little better designed.
@@SquireSCA German standard issue, swiss standard issue and us army standard issue knife. Sharp and reliable, not too affected by dirt and the left handed open and close means you can still use your side arm and get the knife out or put it away.
@@leadreplacement Why did the DoD change to the M17/M18 platform? Modularity. One size doesn't always fit all.

I have two of the Rangergrip SAK's, as well as a couple ALOX folders, a Trekker, an Adventurer, etc... I just find that for me, their one handed opening knives are a bit awkward and clumsy.
Company merger. That is why they still make the superior knives. They've meddled too much. The thumb opening sucks. If that is what you want, add a thumb stud. Bring back the clip point blade and give us more options to drop the cork screw.
I actually found my ideal SAK stye knife that combines a point drop point blade, thumb stud opening with liner lock facing the correct directly for right handed people, G10 handle scales, a pocket clip and better steel... The Ruike LD21BL, with a tool swap mod. Did a video of it a couple weeks ago, check it out
These knives have the lock on the wrong side. Left handed people can open and close them one handed but they make less than 10% of the population. There, you said it. It’s a terrible mistake by Victorinox. I should had stayed with my faithful Kersaw Chill.
Only 10% of the worlds population is left handed. Having some models catering to them is one thing…. Making your entire product line cater to the 10% and not the other 90%, seems odd to most of us, that’s all.
You're just making up stuff with that not holding it in the exact place. Do you also have a problem taking a piss? If you change your angle just ever so slightly one way when you take a piss you piss on the seat. If you change your aim ever so slightly the other way you piss on the ceiling. Life is rough.
