My wife just exclaimed “not another knife!” - thereby elevating the Swiss Tech to my “must buy” list. Great review - you stand out in a field crowded with knife review.
Fixed blades are the outside working mans/farmer's companion. I was an engineer building large power transformers for ten years, mechanic through high school and college few years after, now farming where I cut my teeth on hard work as a child, my dad gave me my first blade at age 5, and I've been in love ever since, through all careers a goos knife has been a must.
Never heard of Swiss Tech. I'm a buck knife and leather sheath fan for fixed blades. I have to disagree with the notion that being real sharp(shaving sharp) is not essential on a so-called bushcraft knife. The number one necessity for ANY real knife is sharpness, because knifes are NOT hatchets.
It’s D2 steel. It will take an edge that is very sharp. How sharp is a function of the sharpening skill of the owner with everything but absolute junk steel.
Swiss tech has been around awhile, surprised you haven't heard of them. They are usually right next to buck knives in any shop or selection. They get sharp as hell, but you have to do it yourself on the cheaper ones, as they sell them in places like Walmart and stores where a lawsuit is a real concern. Get one, they are fairly cheap, very useful for many things.
I own two of every Swiss Tech “Walmart” knife. They are PHENOMENAL VALUES and are exceptionally well made and durable. These are the real deal. I just ordered this new one thanks to your video.
Been looking for just such a knife, but due to various major medical problems, can not afford anything as yet...Even one as low-cost as this one. The thickness of the blade, handle material and overall ruggedness makes this knife a real stand-out, especially at this price point.
Curious what the heat treat is, that BPS knife is 56-57hrc. As a camp knife, it doesn't have to be so hard its brittle, as long as it can put in work for $40.
Had the Stahlern in AUS8. After re-sharpening to an 18° angle I was able to get about 10 cuts on sisal rope then dull. Very soft steel. Hopefully this one D2 will have a better heat treat and be stronger.
I am a BUCK knife guy & I rarely buy folders (but I do have a few) , this looks like it might find a new home in my collection. I just need to keep an eye out for it. Tanx for showing it
No knife ever produced is as good as a old #119. I need a new leather case , we got a new heeler pup and he chewed the hell out of it ,all I can find on Amazon is the nylon garbage . I did see a diy kytex case kit might try that
The bowie knife we know of as a bowie today is most likely NOT what Jim bowie used that day. Any large knife I'm the old west became a Jim bowie until one was held above others. All knives then were made by a small black Smith, only one made, and we never will know what Jim bowie had in his hand that day.
@bobcollie8990 I know what you said brother. All I said is Jim bowie wouldn't know it as a bowie knife, nor was it even the sane style as the one we know as a Jim bowie knife, it woukd have looked more in line with a large bushcraft knife on steriods , then what we today thunk of as a bowie knife.
He fought alongside an ancestor of mine, William Barrett Travis, who in his famous last words according to family lore asked, "where did all these landscapers come from?"
I have a Swiss Tech folder , great knife , good steel , well made . I think the Bushcrafter is on my want list , looks like great camp / hunting option
Made to look like a Bechmade Bushcrafter 162 Carbon fiber.... 1/10 the price.... With a BK2 like blade... A decent camp knife, perhaps. The BPS knife is well made and the sheath alone is worth the price of the knife. I would recommend it over the Swiss Tech, for sure. You can get their camp knife for about the same price, if you look.... I got one for $42 earlier this year in 1066.. Looks good.... If it is made in Taiwan, I would be more likely to buy... They also have a Kephart style in VG10 steel with a nice "broomstick" style handle for about $50. Would made a better bushcraft knife, I think.
There is a smaller knife in video at the TH-cam link that matches the large one and could be used for EDC. From what I can find it's just a pvd type coating. I put both links in separate comment.Thanks Beez😊
Fixed blades are making a huge come back and Swiss Tech is helping lead the way. It's D2 steel that's good working Steel and that's great Bushcraft Steel.
I like Swiss tech when the pocket knife (and a lot others) was dropped at Walmart last fall love my pocket knife with the disc thumb stud and I still want the matching fix blade
Nice looking blade. Haven't found one locally but did find a stash of the flashlights in case. Unfortunately, they disappeared before I could go get another one.
I’ll be checking this out for myself. Looking for an inexpensive working knife for around the farm that’s not one of my pricy skinning and hunting knives.
I watch all your throwing videos and shorts and it was because of your videos that i went and got the stalhern, i just ordered the kraftig , the machete and the hatchet and they should be here soon 😎
I picked up several of the Swiss Tech knives, and they're legit good. I replaced my SAK Classic SD with the Listig and haven’t changed back. Will keep an eye out for this one.

Lol 😅
hahah love it
This is the way.

That’s surprisingly nice

I'm a buck man as well, also Schrade, Case, and Gerber. The Swiss Tech is not a bad know from what I have seen at shows.
I own two of every Swiss Tech “Walmart” knife. They are PHENOMENAL VALUES and are exceptionally well made and durable. These are the real deal. I just ordered this new one thanks to your video.
I really enjoy your knife reviews. Walmart has a huge selection of affordable knives. Keep up the great work.
Tactile- "Tac-Tile" coating is a black rust prevention coating applied to many knives and some other weapons & tools.
That liner really makes that knife shine - I love it.
Boy I sure would like that Swiss Tech knife.
Nice. I like it. Glad that it has decent steel.
Been looking for just such a knife, but due to various major medical problems, can not afford anything as yet...Even one as low-cost as this one. The thickness of the blade, handle material and overall ruggedness makes this knife a real stand-out, especially at this price point.
I've carried one of the SwissTech Wurdig folding knife for about 10 months now - great value and has held up well.
So awesome for price high quality knives design is similar much more expensive knifes I own quality is there.
Wow Swiss tech is really stepping it up. Thanks for showing it.
Beautiful fix blade need ferro with it
Curious what the heat treat is, that BPS knife is 56-57hrc. As a camp knife, it doesn't have to be so hard its brittle, as long as it can put in work for $40.
I’ve bought some Swiss Tech products and they are very good quality
Had the Stahlern in AUS8. After re-sharpening to an 18° angle I was able to get about 10 cuts on sisal rope then dull. Very soft steel. Hopefully this one D2 will have a better heat treat and be stronger.
Thanks for the heads' up. I have only used mine for camp food prep so far as my Gerber Strongarm and KaBar Mk. 1 do most of my camp work.
Looks awesome! Been trying to find a affordable bushcraft knife
I like the look of these Swiss Tech knives. I handled one of their flippers and it was very smooth.

I want one. I’ve already got their last fixed blade and love it.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME INFORMATION
Very impressed with the SwissTech knives! I've got a couple of their folders, and they are very good for the price. Picking this one up right now!
I like Swiss tech knives
Tactical grip, used to give better handling to reduce slippage when wet hands/knife handle...🤠
The Bowie knife is commemorating its namesake, Jim Bowie, who died in the Battle of the Alamo fighting for Texas independence from Mexico in 1836.
The bowie knife we know of as a bowie today is most likely NOT what Jim bowie used that day. Any large knife I'm the old west became a Jim bowie until one was held above others. All knives then were made by a small black Smith, only one made, and we never will know what Jim bowie had in his hand that day.
@@beentheredonethat5908
never said it was same knife. It’s a commemorative knife. They used to sell them in the gift shop at the Alamo.

Texas independence from Mexico. LOL.
Thank you for the GAW opportunity. And thanks for comparing the merch.
I like those red shadowboxed liners
D2 and micarta for a good price. Not too bad. Wonder how the heat treatment is. Anyone know about Swiss tech heat treat?
Swiss Tech makes great knives. I have two already!
Not a bad looking fixed blade and I have to agree with you beez red and black always look good together
Swiss Tech is a new knife company to me. I might have to make a trip to Walmart. Thank You for the Video
That is a really nice fixed blade with a lot of features for the price! Thanks for reviewing it!
I have a Swiss Tech folder , great knife , good steel , well made . I think the Bushcrafter is on my want list , looks like great camp / hunting option
Tactile is the feeling of the handle in your hand the little grooves speckled dotted handle provides a tactile grip
Fixed blade are my favorite, all about the outdoors.
I have several ST knives... love them
I hv the swisstech gerundet. I love it slimness and sharp blade
Its like the esee 4 and 5 had a baby. I like that the finger choil doesnt go way out in the blade.
Love swiss tech I own a few of there knifes very satisfied with them
I got 2 different Swiss tech knives for my son, and he loves em. Decent for what they are. Very sturdy.
Very nice knives.
Bought the Swisstech folder last fall, great economy pocket knife
A very simple and nicely styled fixed blade.
May buy one. I'll build it a leather sheath accented in red.
Both knives are very nice.
I have the gerundet folder and I love it, it’s my most carried now, I would love to have a fixed to go with it
I own a Swiss Tech pocket knife that I carry every day and the larger fixed blade knife for backpacking
Nice basic style blade, textured handle, good grip. Love the red accent touch on handle.
I like this knife..
I would like to get one.😊
Enjoying my swim listig, was hoping to add to the collection., this knife would make a great addition.
Their little flipper models are smooth as glass
I would like to see it compared to the off grid ridgeback. The finish looks like powdercoat.
Made to look like a Bechmade Bushcrafter 162 Carbon fiber.... 1/10 the price.... With a BK2 like blade... A decent camp knife, perhaps.
The BPS knife is well made and the sheath alone is worth the price of the knife. I would recommend it over the Swiss Tech, for sure. You can get their camp knife for about the same price, if you look.... I got one for $42 earlier this year in 1066..

Swiss tech makes great knives
I’ve been eyeing the Swiss tech line at Walmart might stop by there soon now after seeing this!
Looking good SwissTech. There’s definitely a market for their products. Awesome for people to have a nice “store brand” knife to check out
Nice Knife. Must have! Thank you!
I own the Swiss Tech Stahlern fixed blade. It is phenomenal.
I like the tl and thick blade.
Hope to see Swiss Tech get better and better. Thanks for showcasing Beez!
Looks like a great night. I really like the Swiss Tech knives.
Polymer Sheath a looks like a nice knife. Swiss Tech makes Quality on a Budget!
This would look great beside my other Swiss tech!
Just got my Kraftig! Feels amazing in the hand! This blade will be with me at all times on the farm
It refers to being blacked out for tactile use or military etc. kinda like dlc or black paint, it's saes jingo
Fixed blades are making a huge come back and Swiss Tech is helping lead the way. It's D2 steel that's good working Steel and that's great Bushcraft Steel.
I'm watching. I really like the looks of all the swisstech stuff...
I've seen the swisstech at Walmart but I haven't seen this beast! Nice !!
I love your channel. Thank you for bringing budget friendly knives to us,
I like Swiss tech when the pocket knife (and a lot others) was dropped at Walmart last fall love my pocket knife with the disc thumb stud and I still want the matching fix blade
Very nice Swiss Tech blades!
Good morning 🌄
Not bad for a Walmart knife 🔪
That is a BEAUTIFUL knife!
And thank you for the giveaway, that is very generous!
I have seen there folding knives at Walmart, this knife looks pretty nice.
Nice looking blade. Haven't found one locally but did find a stash of the flashlights in case. Unfortunately, they disappeared before I could go get another one.
Awesome Blade! Love it will be looking for Swiss Tech
Looks like a good knife! I’d try it.
That thing looks pretty sweet.
Cool looking knife. Thanks.
I’ll be checking this out for myself. Looking for an inexpensive working knife for around the farm that’s not one of my pricy skinning and hunting knives.
My favorite part was the fire starting sound effect. 😂
Wow! Looks like a very nice knife for the money! Thank you for sharing! 😎👍🏻
Great looking fixed blade!
Sweet knife - thanks for the run down!
I got the swisstech stahlern from Walmart about a year ago it's pretty nice. Aus 8 steel, sheath and ferro rod for $40. Got the listig too
love the red trim
Thanks for the review, definitely on my wishlist now
Mine is arriving Thursday! I love the SwissTech Walmart exclusive knives machete and axe 🔪👍
I watch all your throwing videos and shorts and it was because of your videos that i went and got the stalhern, i just ordered the kraftig , the machete and the hatchet and they should be here soon 😎
Thanks for the opportunity Beez!
Looks good. I would have preferred 1095 steel but D2 works.
Swiss tech is a great brand. Worth well more than what you pay.
Thanks for all the info on the knives, I have bought many due to the info I learn on here
I’ve been curious about Swiss Tech. Thanks for the review.
My only issue is the "Taktil" finish...it looks like it would be hard to clean off anything that get's on the blade.
Interesting. I’d give it a go. Good looker.
Have the Swiss tech folder and it's an everyday carry/work knife. Pretty well made tools. I'll have to check this out.
It looks like an Esee 4. Nice!
I picked up several of the Swiss Tech knives, and they're legit good. I replaced my SAK Classic SD with the Listig and haven’t changed back.
Will keep an eye out for this one.
