    Great 😊 honest and in my opinion accurate review of one of the classic saks . By now I think victorinox know exactly how to make a knife. Quality value functionality high end product. Can’t remember ever not owning a few saks . Recently bought this model and the sports man , both great 👍🏻. But I wish they would put scissors on one or both of these models to make them perfect for me. Fantastic work Gus , thanks for your efforts 👍🏻😎😊

    • @gadgetgus
      @gadgetgus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly, I was meant to mention what I'd like to do to upgrade it further:
      I would keep the two springs and have the scissors ✂️ on one and the main blade with the combo tool, as in the Bantam on the other spring...
      I reckon they could also push the envelope out a little, with a possible Alox 84mm 3x spring - sporting a 3D in line Pozi/Phillips with a shallow cut out on the side of the scale to fit it in
      + I would also embed a tapered 'pry bar end.
      Always appreciate great feedback Marc 👌

    Excellent, spot-on review of a classic, wonderfully efficient workhorse. I thoroughly enjoyed your enthusiasm for all things (1) Victorinox and (2) Alox, so you've obtained a new subscriber. Thanks for the great review, and keep up the great work.
    P.S. - I just ordered another one of the Cadet in Red Alox, as well as an Electrician (which, like the Bantam, doesn't have the key ring - of which I share your mild annoyance).

    Great review, as always, Gus. I own one of these too and have been gifting this model recently because it such a classy design and should last for years.
    Question, aside from the tiny Classic (a key ring tool really), which gets the most pocket time for you?

    • @gadgetgus
      @gadgetgus  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Cadet & the Electrician 👌
      I enjoy all of the Alox range and EDC them most days, tailored to suit my day/weekend.
      They are some of my most popular carries and I may actually custom build my own one day...
      - ie. 2 spring 84mm frame with knife & combo tool in one spring and a scissors in the other + an embedded pry bar/scraper/Screwdriver!
      A 3 spring would have all of the above + the a pozi/Phillips shallow 3D driver, with a slight 'cut out' on the side if the frame... just an idea 😁
      Thanks for your positive feedback, much appreciated Phil and glad you enjoyed the video buddy,

    Would you say the Cadet or the Pioneer? As the only one SAK for example?

    • @gadgetgus
      @gadgetgus  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi buddy 👊
      As I've got size XL hands, I find the Pioneer is better suited to me and has a stronger blade & backspring.
      However, for everyday carry, the Cadet is more acceptable in an urban environment.
      Hope that helps & thanks for watching,

    The only issue is that if they put the combination tool on there instead of the separate bottle opener and can opener, they would have space for another tool. Maybe a pair of scissors?

      @gadgetgus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly... I have contacted Victorinox, some months ago to suggest a few ideas 💡 including that - it would probably be their No.1 seller or in the top five, for sure!

    Happy Friday Gus, I personally prefer the older style nail file with stippling rather than the post 2018 crosscut style nail file & FYI all post 2018 84mm Cadets & 84mm Sportsman now have the new style nail file. As a rule I no longer carry a Cadet as part of my EDC rotation as I don't live in the UK ( I am a native Londoner ) & there being no knife blade size or locking mechanism restrictions where I live in Israel, so I am often carrying 111mm SAK's such as the slide lock Picnicker or the 111mm liner lock Garant , rotating them with my 91mm Climbers & Huntsman with various Civivi flipper knives or traditional lock blade knives like the Buck 110 & 112 . I still have 2 Cadets, a black pre-2018 one & the 2020 Limited edition Aqua blue one, both are in mint condition & my well used other black, red & silver ones ( all pre-2018 models ) I gave away to work colleagues before I retired .

    • @gadgetgus
      @gadgetgus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      On reflection... deep down, I agree - the 'stippled' one is better, as its less course & more refined, but costs more to produce.
      If they kept the 45° leading edge on the file, rather than the 90° that would have been something.
      Always appreciate your insightful & valued feedback 👌
