- I've had this Victorinox Camper for 12 years now and been to quite a few adventures with it. In this video I talk about the knife and all of it's functions and how I used them over time.
It's probably no surprise to anybody that the Victorinox is super good ;) !
Enjoy the video and have a great day!

This is the best review of this SAK, i love the nature background. I hope your camper keep bring to you more adventures. Saludos 🇲🇽
Thank u very much !! Yes I'm sure it will :D
Appreciate your nice comment :)
I have many SAKs because I collect knives. They're all equally good. It just depends on what features you want. All the problems with slipjoint knives are non-existent with SAKS: blade wobble, weak blade snap, uneven scales, etc. Victorinox gets it right every time at such a low price. And edge durability is fine despite the criticisms. SAK steel excels in everything except edge retention. But it's easy to sharpen. You might want to try an Alox version because they are quite different having more robust tools. The Farmer and Harvester are good choices for outdoor use. The Trekker in 111mm is another good choice.
Yeah I bought an Alox Bantam last year! Super cool little knive and very robust :)
Farmer X alox is the absolute best go to Swiss army knife...its awesome
Enjoyed your video. Never throw them away, just replace what you need to and keep the knife for sentimental value. Since they have a lifetime warranty, you can always send it to them for repair. I did this to replace one tool and they added a new knife blade as well. They also polished the scales nicely. I think it cost me $5 plus shipping. Wanna encourage you to look into the FireAnt fire-steel and tinder option for keeping in your corkscrew. Turns your SAK into capable mini survival tool and an even better camping device, IMHO. I have four SAKs that I carry often but my favorite is the S17 and S18 models as you just can't beat a locking blade and the tool selection in such a small form factor. Had mine in several countries but the UK won't be among them now (so stupid). The Explorer model is a close second, again, IMHO. Love SAKs beyond words. Have one, or another, in my pocket from the time I get out of bed, until I get back in. Only time it's not with me is in the shower. Oh, two other things: don't underestimate how useful the corkscrew can be for getting knots out of paracord and other cordage. Also, don't overlook the tip of the can opener for use on Philips-head screws. I'm always amazed how many it works just fine on. The saw can be sharpened, there's videos out there but you could always have Victorinox replace it too. I'm sure that knife has a lot more travels in store for you. Sorry, last thing: the key ring should absolutely be viewed as another tool. I've used one for a zipper-pull before.
Yeah true I've used the can opener as a screwdriver too ! Thanks for the information ( Yeah I've used the key ring actually too now) :) !
I love this area. Was in Garmisch-P. in May 2019, the perfect scenery for a hike with a Victorinox knife.
Agree w u ;)
I'v loved my Swiss Champ and have pocket carried it since the day I bought it in 1985. It has saved my bacon many times.
Haha nice! :D
@@wuwatch5016 Thanks 😊
Fantastic review, really enjoyed this.
I always carry a tinker and smaller classic SD.
My oldest Victorinox is coming up for 25 years old now and still amazing.
I must use one of these knives 5-6 times every day and would be lost without them.
Thank you, this video made me smile.
Best Gray from the UK.
Hey thank u so much for the nice comment ! I hope I can say that too that I've had my knifes for 25 years somday :)
Adding a fireant with a ferrro rod and tinder set to the corkscrew, makes a good addition to a camping knife. I have a original Huntsman, Spartan lite, Officer Tactical and Classical SD.
Very very interesting history.
Yes,these are really excellent knives. It is my go to multi tool in subzero temperatures of outdoor Canada. I have the Victorinox Skipper and use it daily. The second tool I use a lot (mostly because of the spring loaded pliers) is Leatherman Wingman.
Hey that's nice ! Never heard anybody saying it's their multi-tool in subzero temperatures. Very interesting :)
@@wuwatch5016 Well,it is. You have to take the gloves off to get it open first ( it has to be around -20degC for me to wear gloves) . Cannot count the number of times I found the reamer, marlin spike,the flat pry bar,tweezers or the main,serrated locking blade plenty useful. And a bottle opener too,of course.
I have a Victorinox swiss champ ; climber ; cyber tool ; mountanier ; huntsman ; compact ; explorer ; ranger ; sentinel and a hunter pro. I always have a swiss army knife with me. Hi from romania 👍
wow that's a lot !
Yeah same. I'm never without mine :D
Thanks for commenting :)
Felix Immler can tell you how you can use the corkscrew. He is a master of SAK on TH-cam.
true haha
I have a Super Tinker that I carried for over 12 years. My experience mirrors yours (except for international travel). A lot of others have been added to my collection since then, and I'll be sending the Super Tinker in for a cleaning and sharpening sometime. Victorinox makes a great pocket knife, and there's no sense in tossing one into the trash just because it's a little worn. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I have 16 or 17 Swiss Army knives to include the Mountaineer, Camper, Climber, Compact, SD, Spartan, Tinker, plus several Wengers...i love them all. I usually carry the Spartan or Compact to work. If I'm wearing jeans I usually carry the Climber. If I'm going camping or hiking I'll take the Camper. Always a tough decision which one to carry. I never like to leave home without one.
Sharpen the saw by holding the saw blade flat on a fine grit sand paper and pushing back and forth repeat on the other side .. I have done this many many times
Excellent review 🤙👏👏 I have over twenty SAK’s , superb pocket tools for every occasion from the swiss tool , champ,explorer and alox range to the classic , brilliant workmanship and will last a lifetime 😎
I really like my SAK's. I have a ranger, a rangergrip78, one hand opening trekker, two huntsman, a fieldmaster, two tinkers, a camper and an alox farmer. My favorite is my ranger. I usually have the ranger and a tinker on me.
Great review fantastic scenery the camper is my favourite knife . Have a great day stay Safe
Hey thank u very much :D !!
:-) The Vic Sportsman in my pocket hasn't seen as many countries as your Camper, but it has seen it's fair share of use over the around 15 years it's speiding in my pockets. I replaced my first sportsman with it which is so old, it didn't even have the holes for the tweezers and the toothpick, or the extension for the key ring. The current one had scales with a texture and a darker red tone. Now over the years the scales are smooth in most places. I also have an Executive (one of the small ones) which is older than you. :-) (by 2 or 3 years)
As for shaprening the saw: my victorinox knifes don't have saws on them, but from what i remember them to look like, a small file could work if you know what you are doing.
(Schlüsselfeilen, gibts günstig und in verschiedenen Größen im Werkzeughandel, müßtest mal schauen ob eine vom Profil her passt.)
Danke für den schönen Comment :D !
Das Executive sieht bestimmt trotz des Alter immer noch jünger als ich aus ;D
Oh Danke, das mit den Schlüsselfeilen wusste ich nicht. Kann ich mich ja mal ein wenig informieren dazu!
Good job! I currently have a Champ, 2 Tinkers, Hunter, Wenger Classic, rescue, US Army model and an Alox. Use them all. Great knives. Been carrying one for over 50 years and the Champ for 40+. All like new, but still used a lot 😊
Nice review! I love my Victorinox Camper too, even though I carry the Victorinox Handyman the most for the added tools - but the Camper is closer to my heart. Glad you did not replace your Camper with a newer one since you have quite the history and many memories associated with that specific knife!
Here is a link to a Felix Immler How-To about sharpening your saw (awesome man with an awesome channel!): th-cam.com/video/6vtErh2IZwI/w-d-xo.html
Thank u for your comment ! Appreciate it :)
And thanks for the video ! I will check it out :D
SAK knives are what they are.l have 3 extra that I have never used them,it’s just knife collection addiction..The One I am using is more than adequate for my needs…Knife is a Knife,it’s up to you what you want and use it for…Simplicity is the key 🔑…
beautifull nature love it
I miss Germany so much. Used to travel to our German offices at least once a year but never had the opportunity to explore the countryside.
Yeah the countryside and the castles are the coolest ;) Where have u been in Germany ?
@@wuwatch5016 Around ten times to Nurnberg and a couple of times to Heidelberg. I loved the laid back culture of Nurnberg and over indulged in bread, Christmas decorations, and all the museums.
Can you replace any of the tools?
- I love the color.
Thanks a lot :D !!
John! Is that you?
Just kidding 😁😁😁😁
Great review 👍 Love all my SAKs, hiker is one of the best models.
Hey WuWatch, Felix Immler has a great video explaining how to sharpen the wood saw. Here is the link to his video: th-cam.com/video/6vtErh2IZwI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot :)
Very useful
True :)
Great video!!!!
Thanks buddy :)
Nice video and I subscribed 🦉
Thank u very much :D ! Appreciate that !
Gutes Video, Grüße aus Waldshut
Dankeee :D
so u had the knife since u was 2 year old ?
11 or 12*
Good to have SAK with me, but when i take it and walk through the street in my city, i need to give explaination to the policeman, i can just use it at home most of the time, feeling upset.
Most knife laws around the world are fairly new and it used to be everyone used to carry a knife. I don't think you should have to explain why you need a knife. Maybe if enough people carry them again things will change
Felix Immler hat ein Video wie man die Säge selbst schärfen kann: “Is it possible to sharpen the wood saw.”
WINE OPENER for knots is usful bro!!
true that!!
You shouldn’t lubricate your knife with WD-40 you should get some mineral oil it’s nontoxic safe if you eat it and cheap I put a little in anApplicator bottle and I use the rest on my wooden cooking utensils and cutting board Victorinox also sells a little bottle of mineral oil
just type on TH-cam how to sharpen a sak saw it will show u. u can do it using a Dimond file its super easy
Victorinox being producing knife with so much configuration that can drive you nut. This is inviting these peoples to comes out to talk the about the difference and preference. Some say this and that is driving scaming people to buy more to find out the difference and the real best. It is all but gimmicks to make you buy more.
Felix immler Made a good video of how to sharpen the saw:

Sorry...it is very difficult to understand you, as you turn away from the camera.. probably just my bad hearing from ( military service work), but , please face the camera, or ,get a lapel mike!?
Thanks for the review..I have one and it is worth 10x's your weight in gold!
Ur right ! I have an lapel mike but I tend to do those videos kinda spontaneous ;)
I'll make sure to face the cam in the next few vids !
Yeah that's how Vics are like ;)
wtf is DW-40? 😁 - just joking
x0
If anybody doesn't know what that is they be livin on the moon ;D
all over the world my ass. they keep taking mine at the airports.
You put them in your checked baggage. They're legal that way (if you remember to do so)
