I used my SAK Camping model to plug a leak on my ship. We were underway heading to Australia and we sprung a leak in the hull, just above the waterline. Me and another Navy Hull Technician were hamming a wooden plug into the leak. The plug was too big and we had no room to use a regular saw. I used the saw on my SAK to cut the plug to fit. I always have a SAK with me.
That's so true brother! I was finally able to get my first knife at about 13 after years of watching Mac. Even though it wasn't red, or a SAK, it was still "Dude its MY MacGyver knife!"
I love my SAK, it’s a Fisherman. Received it for x-mas 1978, I served 20 years in the Army and took my SAK with me every where I served. It was and is a great tool. I still take it with me everywhere I go.
Another great story I have for you Dan....is in about 2011 I was doing a school in Cedar Lake Indiana.I am a retired journeyman plumber Union 210.Anyway....my EDC was always a Fieldmaster.Not too cumbersome to keep in front pocket.A brick layer saw me using it to sharpen my pencil and says.....hey what model is that.I told him and he claimed he had the same.His was purchased in mid 90s as mine was.....so he brough his in the next day.I looked at his and told him that mine had one more tool on it than his.I bet you a fifty they are the same.He folded out all his tools,so did I then I pulled my straight pin out,his didn't even have the hole.So the rest of the job.....I asked him.....wanna put money on that.
Love the video my friend, I too grew up in the eighties watching Macgyver , great show. I have a question for you I am trying to build up my Swiss Army knife collection and I’m wondering what is the best website to purchase them from?
I love the macgyver talk I’ve watched macgyver since I was a kid well past the 80’s lmao I was born in 99 but love the show. The new one is alright but doesn’t compare. I’ve been binge watching all your videos they’re awesome!
I use mine as a phone stand lol. Although there was a time where I had to carry a turkey and I went “wait I have the exact tool for this” and used the hook. Felt like a god after that, mere mortals cannot comprehend the hook’s majesty
I recently got a 90’s wenger commander that came with the wenger esquire. I didn’t think MacGyver used wengers and mine wouldn’t be period correct but nice to know I got two Macgyver knives, as I have the super tinker. That hook comes in clutch for a makeshift phone case
On the TV show, MacGyver carried different models in different episodes. You can do that when the story is written ahead of time and you know what you’ll be doing. Since real life doesn’t tell you ahead of time what you will face, you are better off simply carrying the Swiss Champ.
It's cool that He used a Tourist, after 38 years i'm finally retiring the Tourist that my Dad gave me for my 6th birthday (My Mum was NOT IMPRESSED but i thought it was the coolest gift ever xD ). I'm subbing it out for a Deluxe Tinker, can't wait for it to arrive B)
Victorinox SAK ecoline has matte nylon scales with the emblem embossed painted on, regular SAKs has red polished cellidor scales with silver embossed emblems.
I have the Climber and the Mountaineer. The climber is good at the office because it's not too big. The Mountaineer fits in my small jeans pocket so it's good for outside of work. I like the file/metal saw on it too.
Update, I now have all the confirmed MacGyver original series episode knives. That is once the Super Tinker and Fisherman arrive. Both post the '91 hook (thanks again for the help on that). I count 20 confirmed SAKs, the rest are best guesses (according to my research). I have two Fisherman models but both have issues and are not the best representation of the model. Both are fully functional, one just has the main blade mishaped due to years of sharpening, the other had burnt scales, broken scissor tips and the keyring section was broken off and bent in with jagged sharp edges. The toothpick was missing, but still had the aluminum tip tweezers, which I stored away for safe keeping. The tweezers alone were worth the $7 spent on the knife. I have 18 of the 20 in a Aztec 1800 case. The Picknicker and Adventurer (both slide lock) are too long to fit, so those are stored in a Apache 3800 case with my other Victorinox models. Because of not really knowing, the Golfer I have is a 91mm. Later on I'll get the 84mm version, so even a confirmed one is a mystery. Lol. I keep returning to this video for my research. Thanks for posting this video, it's really been a help to me.
Prices on these are getting ridiculous. I'm glad I got the majority of these (used) before that happened. Really only missing the Compact and Golfer. On my list to make the splurge later. I have two or three Picnickers (slide lock), a Rescue Tool (that I keep in my vehicle with a First Aid and Hemorrhage Control kit) and two of it's predecessors, Fireman, in honor of a friend of mine who was a firefighter and died suddenly (unexpectedly) from a brain hemorrhage a few years ago. I have over fifty SAKs in my collection, multiples of a few. One from a Berlin Wall museum in Germany (Spartan). I even have the Tinker with square/slotted Phillips that was used in the first McGuyver episode. A few I've bought and refurbished. One is a 70's Fisherman with broken scissor tips and a bent pen blade. The scales looked like it was held over a fire, melted and bubbled. Came with a aluminum tip tweezer which was removed and stored away, replaced with a new one. I reshaped and sharpened the scissors and very very very slowly bent the pen blade straight with the 5" Knipex pliers wrench. You can't even tell the pen blade was bent. The scissors have to be looked at closely to see they were reshaped. Replaced the scales with the sapphire blue scales after filing off the broken and bent key ring that had flashing from the break. $8 headed for the garbage can buy that I brought back to life. I'm 53 and watched the original McGuyver each week as the episodes aired. Tried to watch the reboot and halfway through the first episode I stopped watching. It may have been called McGuyver but names can be deceiving. I keep returning to this video and drool a little. One day I'll have all these. Getting closer to that goal. Lol
Hey buddy. TONYS here again, thanks for the Spartan with a scissors when others wouldn't explain that was a Climber lol! I understand they basically would change Saks mid-show depending on the tools he needed? Hope you are doing well.
Great video.. it's been a while since you uploaded this so you probably know by now, but the difference between the Standard and the Cellidor Economy Spartan is that the Economy Spartan has the keyring while the Standard does not.
Good video. I have collected most of the knives MacGyver used. I don't know where you got your information, I just got mine from watching the series. In the opening sequence of the show, the knife with the chain on the key ring is a Super Tinker. When he cut up the 1956(?) Cadillac he used a Camper. In the show with Merlin the Magician he used a Camper, possibly a Compact. I have both, they both have nearly the same toolset but I prefer the Climber. I don't remember ever seeing a wood a saw used. I hope this helps in your endeavors. When did the Compact come out? I have carried Swiss Army Knives for years but only bought one last year.
There is a MacGyver website that goes through every episode and tells you what model knife that he used in that episide. There were a few episodes where he did not use a knife and episodes he used a knock off SAK

I was following this link in the video: www.macgyveronline.com/database/saks Thought I remember seeing a camping logo in the episode w/ the Cadillac, maybe I'm wrong. I know for a fact that he used different knives in the same episode, sometimes in the same scene. Thanks for watching! OG MacGyver forever! Cheers!
Oh....I forgot to mention....his dad was the biggest Vic collector and knew everything about these knives.But I have Derek Jacksons book.So.....knowledge was on my side.I would tell this guy..... just ask your dad....what year was this....and that added.First Q was....where did the name come from.So after that.....the other brick layers asked....where can we get a Vic knife.I told them Menards carries the Fieldmaster....and a few other SD models
So the Climber came at one point w/o the hook? I ask because I have one with and one w/o. Both sold as the Climber model. Or is it something else completely w/o the hook?
@@swissarmydan9354 Thanks. I was busy cleaning that had just arrived and sorting Vics by model when I posted the question. I started buying whatever I liked and ended up with around thirty or so within a couple months. So getting them organized is a bit helpful. Received four used ones before my question (what I was cleaning), have four more coming soon. Have three of the gardening chisel grinds coming and a highly likely one coming soon. Mostly Tinkers and Spartans but I also have others, a couple from around '73 in minty condition that I lucked out on in lot buys. Including the Executive. I paid $25 for the lot. Can't touch a old Executive now for that price. Lucked out. Thanks for answering my question.
I always hated the cork screw as a kid never popped cork tops I loved migiver got small knives for birthday and and red side fell off and I was desterbed I lost it riding on back of a quad and I even had a migiver hair cut back in the day some of the knife could go for 100$ and that was like 300or more today
Hallo Dan, da ich weiß dass Du Deutsch sprichst schreibe ich mal in meiner Muttersprache. Mein Englisch ist zwar ganz gut aber in der gewohnten Sprache fällt es doch leichter und Du bleibst in Übung ;-). Ich habe auch eine recht große Sammlung an Victorinox und meine am meisten genutzten sind das Tinker klein und das Compact. Weisst Du zufällig welche Victorinox in der neuen MacGyver Serie benutzt werden. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland Frank
Danke Frank! Du hast recht, Ich muß üben!!! Der neuer MacGyver trägt der Climber in das erste Episode and hat danach viele verschiedene Modelen geträgt. Ich weiß dass er manchmal die neue Delemont series benutzt.
Michael Wetzel I recommend this eBay seller: you can maybe find them cheaper, but this seller is reliable and they come straight from Switzerland. www.ebay.com/itm/VICTORINOX-SCALES-HANDLES-91-mm-PLUS-3-SLOTS-WITH-TWEEZER-TOOTHPICK-PEN-PIN/264364345912?hash=item3d8d57ca38:g:eIwAAOSwArNdBea1
A few years ago I found a movie website listing all the SAKs McGuyver used sorted by episode. Can't find it but www.macgyveronline.com/database/saks gives the same info.
Thanks Anthony, you’re right but the 91mm Compact minus the hook was also known as the Golfer until the Compact arrived. After that they added the divot repair tool and called it the Golfer, that model only lasted a few years
Awesome knife! Love the Explorer however, I don't believe Mac ever carried one. Wonder why? As far as I know the Explorer has been around since '73. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I could be mistaken... but I don't believe I ever saw Mac bust out the magnifier or inline phillips... Again, I love the Explorer. It's like a rugged Yeoman, lol! Cheers!
i gotta find those brand new. i just got a special mechanic brand new, i love the two layer models like that and the compact. i'm sorta new to knife collecting, i deal mostly with vintage baseball cards, so if you can tell me, what does it mean "commission a mod"? you pay Victorinox and they will produce a custom knife for you? or Swiss Bianco? I would love to have a new yeoman, scientist, modeler, and passenger made for me.
A friend of mine in the UK has done a couple mods for me. I can put you in contact with him, prices are pretty reasonable. email me a swissarmydan@gmail.com cheers.
for some reason i never got a notification about your reply. I ended up buying a brand new swiss bianco yeoman for $158 and a new Battle of St. Jakob for $125 which is good enough for me as a Passenger. i inquired a knife modder on instagram (finding him thru a youtube video) and the dude wanted $350 for a custom yeoman and $325 for the custom Scientist. lol man i know for a fact i can mod one myself after watching a few youtube videos, it seems straightforward enough, and you can find a vintage new yeoman or scientist for $150 to $250 I think, so why he thinks $350 is fair is beyond me. i might ask you in an email about your modder in the future, i need to see what i can find in the coming weeks first because I have several knife dealers looking for me. i don't know what you consider "fair" as a price but if it's close to these prices i encountered then no way.
too many of them. he only had one knife it allways had tool he needed. 100 layer knive all tools is silly. you only need blade saw and mayby scissors. skrewdrivers? huh. they all all same with one diff and then too many thaty combines others remove some. huntsman is my choise if i buy.been wanted 30 years LOL i want defuse bombs too
Responding 11 months late, but I personally love the corkscrew for the reasons that you can carry a mini screwdriver in it, it is brilliant for getting tight knots undone and saving your fingernails, and of course liberating vino Thanks for watching! Cheers!

such an awesome rundown - you know for all us 80s kids that MacGyver was a HUGE influence on us desperately wanting pocketknives as a kid.
ianA you know I am not al 80s kid i das born arround 2000 but I grew up with that show thanks to my grandpa may he R.I.P
Yeah,I was born in 1998 bt still is a huge fan of macgyver.I still want that pocket knife.
That's so true brother! I was finally able to get my first knife at about 13 after years of watching Mac. Even though it wasn't red, or a SAK, it was still "Dude its MY MacGyver knife!"

Music And Coffee thanks for watching! I love both music and coffee!! Cheers!
Growing up without a father, MacGyver was my childhood hero!
Still is. - I am happy I can now buy the Vic knives myself :)
Love my SAK tools. You got to have imagination to enjoy them.
I'm also a HUGE McGyver fan! That show was the beat thing ever!!!
hahaha! Thanks for watching!!!
The original with Richard Dean Anderson.
Not the remake...

Super tinker for me. The scissors are a must and much to my surprise the cargo hook comes in handy sometimes.
I use mine as a phone stand lol.
Although there was a time where I had to carry a turkey and I went “wait I have the exact tool for this” and used the hook.
Felt like a god after that, mere mortals cannot comprehend the hook’s majesty

Since real life doesn’t tell you ahead of time what you will face, you are better off simply carrying the Swiss Champ.
He carried many of them, but used only basic tools, mostly just the blade.
Great video! McGyver was a great influence. Love the Victorinox because of McGyver & Scouts

Now I understand what this "McGyver" reference by Victorinox collectors! An American tv drama.
Nothing beats a Compact. That Golfer you got is cool would love to find me one someday.
Guess I will have to start watching MacGyver now!
Favorite show on channel 12 along with the tv series Mission Impossible
Victorinox SAK ecoline has matte nylon scales with the emblem embossed painted on, regular SAKs has red polished cellidor scales with silver embossed emblems.
I have the Climber and the Mountaineer. The climber is good at the office because it's not too big. The Mountaineer fits in my small jeans pocket so it's good for outside of work. I like the file/metal saw on it too.
McGuyver is still a favorite show of my Wife and mine.So many SAKs,so little time.
I like the different color scales, but honestly really like the classic red, just like macgyver used

What is the difference between the tinker small and a regular tinker?
Tinker = 91mm Tinker Small = 84mm
Pity they did'nt make a unique one for repeated use in the series. They could have put it out as a special collectable edition later.

I really want to pop on classic red plus scales on my huntsman, but can't find them anywhere. Do they still make them? (Or even the huntsman plus?)

Great review, just subscribed.
"In this video we put the George Foreman grill to the test."
MacGyver Carl really likes you! VICTORYNOX And now I have seen WENGER products that have disappeared.
I just bought my 16th SAK TODAY.
The Golfer is an 84mm where the later Compact is a 91mm I think.
Thanks Anthony, you’re right but the 91mm Compact minus the hook was also known as the Golfer until the Compact arrived. After that they added the divot repair tool and called it the Golfer, that model only lasted a few years
i still cant figure out which he used in the series can anyone explain?
Many different models were used. There's a pretty good list at macgyveronline.com
I carry a tinker with a multitool and a flick open box cutter
nice video man!
Aww, thanks DTT!!! Mac did most of the work...
Macgyver would have had to change his underwear if someone handed him a Swiss Champ back in the day
Wait....break from Saks?
I love mcgyver
Getting a compact
Also difference betwenn Standard and Spartan is.... Standard has no keyring.Only thing that separates the two.
Thanks for watching! You’re absolutely right
Price
Just got a small tinker
I'll bet the huntsman was few bucks back in 80s because of miciver the Swiss army knife took off I'm shure
What about the explorer?
Awesome knife! Love the Explorer however, I don't believe Mac ever carried one. Wonder why? As far as I know the Explorer has been around since '73. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Swiss Army Dan Damn I always thought he had one of those. I've had my explorer swiss army knife for 20 years.
I could be mistaken... but I don't believe I ever saw Mac bust out the magnifier or inline phillips... Again, I love the Explorer. It's like a rugged Yeoman, lol! Cheers!
Swiss Army Dan I just checked a forum. I didn't see the explorer knife on the list. Sad, but it's still a MacGyver knife to me! 👌
i really need a new yeoman and scientist.
Recently acquired a couple Yeomans, and a Passenger... I think I'm going to commission a mod for a Scientist. All those great magnifier models... ah
i gotta find those brand new. i just got a special mechanic brand new, i love the two layer models like that and the compact. i'm sorta new to knife collecting, i deal mostly with vintage baseball cards, so if you can tell me, what does it mean "commission a mod"? you pay Victorinox and they will produce a custom knife for you? or Swiss Bianco? I would love to have a new yeoman, scientist, modeler, and passenger made for me.
A friend of mine in the UK has done a couple mods for me. I can put you in contact with him, prices are pretty reasonable. email me a swissarmydan@gmail.com cheers.
for some reason i never got a notification about your reply. I ended up buying a brand new swiss bianco yeoman for $158 and a new Battle of St. Jakob for $125 which is good enough for me as a Passenger. i inquired a knife modder on instagram (finding him thru a youtube video) and the dude wanted $350 for a custom yeoman and $325 for the custom Scientist. lol man i know for a fact i can mod one myself after watching a few youtube videos, it seems straightforward enough, and you can find a vintage new yeoman or scientist for $150 to $250 I think, so why he thinks $350 is fair is beyond me. i might ask you in an email about your modder in the future, i need to see what i can find in the coming weeks first because I have several knife dealers looking for me. i don't know what you consider "fair" as a price but if it's close to these prices i encountered then no way.
if they would make macgyver special. they would stop sold other models lol

SAK's are brilliant but those cork screws are really wasted real estate in most cases.
I use mine all the time.
Responding 11 months late, but I personally love the corkscrew for the reasons that you can carry a mini screwdriver in it, it is brilliant for getting tight knots undone and saving your fingernails, and of course liberating vino
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
