Great comparison video and much appreciated. I find the Wenger can opener works quite well as a dedicated box opener. I recently picked up an old Wenger Traveler and it quickly became a favorite. An 85mm with scissors, cap lifter, nail file, and even a dedicated box opener really checks all the boxes for me. There's alot to like in these old Wengers IMO. I did notice the lack of that Victorinox snap though.
Been looking for an apprentice for years... Man I wish these would pop up for sale more often. Holy smokes... I posted that as I opened eBay, just found a brand new one for 25 bucks. Woot!!
I think the Victorinox Recruit for me i believe the Victorinox can opener is one of the best multitool implements ever invented ? You can open a can, turn a small flat head, turn a philips , peel fruit , and pull string ,shoe laces just like with the parcel hook ! Ive done all the above .
Have you noticed with the older models of recruit that they never used a centre rivet so the scales would bow in the centre ? The new ones now have it finally so the scales fit and stay put ! Nice comparison video by the way .

Great Video Mark ! I like the Recruit light knife to carry as a EDC you hardly feel it in your pocket !
I absolutely agree
It was neat to see the difference in blade shapes between Vic and Wenger. Thanks for this comparison, buddy. Have a great Saturday!
I have EDC the same Victorinox Recruit for the past 8 years. I use it most every day it's been a great knife and still going strong

Very nice tricks!! Never thought of some of them!
I've use the vic. can opener on a number ten can no problem.
Good comparison
His inner German is coming out.
Wenger blade shape👍, Victorinox spring tension💪
Excellent comparison video. I love my VICTORINOX RECRUIT.
I think Victorinox is a much better quality knife. Been carrying one for many years. Recruit and Tinker are my favorites.
Perhaps in the future you can show the tweezers and toothpick of the Wenger. And thank you for the comparison, good and detailed.
the Wenger Is a used model and did not come with the toothpick or tweezers.
Have you noticed with the older models of recruit that they never used a centre rivet so the scales would bow in the centre ?
The new ones now have it finally so the scales fit and stay put !
Nice comparison video by the way .
I have noticed that with the older ones.
Very interesting to see the difference in the two multi tools. Could the pull and close strength be related to the age of the tools themselves?
VENGER, they do Vater for water an Wadka for vodka 😆 kind backwards? 😊
Just bought the recruit it's so recute.
