The first time I saw that Bantam in one of your videos, I paused the video and ordered it. I never leave home without it now.

@Steve.Berwanger Год назад

I have a Swiss Champion that I bought on my honeymoon 47 years ago in Switzerland. It’s still my go to knife today.

@stevemastbaum 11 месяцев назад

Love the deluxe tinker. The scissors and pliers are so nice to use, very well made.

@nelistheron83 Год назад

Thanks for always sharing your knowledge. You make buying things a lot easier.

@allenlong5579 Год назад

i got the swiss champion when it came out in the 80's still carry and use

@JonLong Год назад

I think the Midnight Manager should have been on this list. Pen, LED light, scissors, blade, magnetic screwdriver, and a bottle opener in something the size of the Classic. It’s such a useful edc tool.

@adamkane7513 Год назад

@Jonathan Long Agreed. Midnite Manager is ace!

@Javier-fb6lz Год назад

I agree. Vic Midnight Manager always in my little pocket.

@paulhorn24 Год назад

I don‘t like the Midnite Manager for its thickness and prefer the version without the light and the battery, e.g. the Victorinox Signature

@jeffdeines1725 Год назад

I had my buddy make me a wallet that carries my Midnight Manager at Work, it's next level as it backs up all my other EDC.

@AdAce21 Год назад

I prefer the standard manager. The light on the midnite isn’t good and adds bulk.

@charlesdudek7713 Год назад

I carry the Rambler every day. I use it multiple times a day. Lot of utility in a small package.

@ddyoder Год назад

agree 100% on the Rambler. That's the one I use often, will give to people, etc. ---- still inexpensive and the added tools and knife deploying AWAY from keyring is a must if you don't need it as thin as a nickel haha. I find the toothpick and tweezers of the basic Rambler are used more often vs. multiple blades of the MiniChamp. In a nutshell, the Rambler seems to be the lightest/simplest/utility maximizing (::cough:: *knife opens away from keys* ::cough::) option and the all-too-familiar red SAK scales are classics that everyone understands what it is at a glance

@rhubarbrhino Год назад

Rambler is the best EDC. But an alox classic in my wallet is almost as good! Tiny!

@jimmeek8621 Год назад

I also chose a Rambler over the Classic, because I wanted both flathead and Phillips drivers in my pocket at any time. I’ve been surprised by how much I use it. For larger screw heads and additional capabilities I wanted (and none I didn’t, like the corkscrew), I have a Hiker in my leave-the-house EDC sling and for use in the woods. The only tool missing then is addressed by my 4.5” 1.5 oz Channellock 424 pliers.

@Thefedup Год назад

Great picks, my EDC is the Alox Minichamp. Been carrying it everyday for 10+ years. It is by far the best combination of size and tools for everyday general uses for me. I almost feel like a piece of me is missing without it. Since I travel so much I am probably like on my 20th one as I will sometimes forget I have in my pocket and have to throw it away before going thru airport security, but all things considered it is the best EDC ever created!

@retireddac Год назад

Great timing. I ordered a Victorinox Camper this morning. It has everything I normally use.

@jonlouis2582 Год назад

What a timely video. I’ve been shopping for another one for EDC. It seems like I can never have enough…

@friskid Год назад

As an EDC, I have my Victorinox Huntsman black with Plus shell in the pocket of my jeans on a string with me every day with a large + small blade, saw, scissors, bottle opener, can opener, screwdriver, awl, hook, corkscrew, tweezers, toothpick, needle, pen, ring.

@lmcq784 Год назад

I love the Hunter as well as the Farmer X. For a city EDC, the Pioneer X without the saw is nice too.

@KyleSiroy Год назад

Been carrying a Manager on my keyring for ages now and it is the perfect companion to my Leatherman Wave when I have it or a great backup tool when I don't happen to have my multitool on me. I bought a super tinker recently, but haven't really been tempted to carry it more than the Wave, even at home. What I wish is they had more large one-hand opening models with scissors.

@1zaj34 Год назад

Great lineup you chose to give us there, thank you so much. 🙂 I'm carrying in fact two of those as my EDC for quite some time now. On the key chain I have a Manager, which is essentially a Rambler with on scale tool replaced with the small retractable pressurized pen. The other one is the explorer. Originally bought, because it is the smallest one with the inline Phillips. Now, I find, that I use the magnifier a lot more often, than I would have thought. 😀

@mikesmith1679 Год назад

I’ve been carrying the Rambler on my 3 set’s of keys for years. Agree with DCA about how useful it is.

@jeanneprice6736 Год назад

David C. , you do a superb reviewer of knives. You are a natural. Very informative.

I've had the Deluxe Tinker for years. It's an awesome SAK, having come in handy many, many times. I recognized it instantly from the thumbnail picture. Cheers.

@pauljosephbuggle3722 Год назад

I have the Hunter, the Compact and the Manager. I recently fixed up my 30 year old SAK Hunter and gave it to my son. I put XL scales with the pen on it.

@psychocuda Год назад

I like carrying a Leatherman Wave and a Vic Evolution S-13. They compliment each other with tools that the other lacks.

@dcamnc1 Год назад

Excellent selections. I have many SAK's, and my favorite, and most carried is probably the Deluxe Tinker.

@mikeeygq Год назад

I have the regular EVO 14 without the lock. One of my favorite Victorinox. Carry it all the time.

@silverbeard_edc4546 Год назад

Been carrying the Rambler on my key ring for years! Awesome little knife.

@chrischips1732 Год назад

Love it! Thanks DCA!

@Masata240 Год назад

Thanks David for another great video! Even though Knife Center sells these knives, it amazing that it showcases these knives fairly and objectively. Nitpick: The included pin here is just a straight pin though you could supply your own sowing needle to fit the provided hole. That said, the hole in the awl is capable of coarse sowing needs in a pinch (reference: Felix Immler's anorak tutorial).

@SonicAlpha Год назад

Good to see the Cadet getting some love. It's my pocket EDC, and I love it 😊

@danlangevin2459 Год назад

I will forever sing the praise of the Rambler. It fits well in the 5th pocket. I'm an avid cyclist and keep one in my seat bag too. While my primary blades can vary throughout the year, the Rambler is a mainstay. I will say I'd love to see an Alox Cadet-X with scissors...love my FarmerX

@jn651 Год назад

My first knife was a Camping model. It says "Camping" on the scale along with a stylized tent or tipi. I still have it almost 40 years later. I recently bought a Hunter because I had always been jealous of the scissors. Good talk!

@samanthaprice4537 Год назад

I never go anywhere without my Fieldmaster, I love it! And of course the Classic SD on my keys 👍🏼

@VeniVidiVid Год назад

My keychain has had a Manager on it for decades. I recently switched to the Midnight MiniChamp with the pen. The two most underrated tools are the scissors and the pen. With these knives I always have both. The scissors can be a precision tool, and is also amazingly tough. I once trimmed a leather belt with it! The pen has become a required tool for me. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been somewhere and needed to sign something when I had no pen. SO useful in a pinch!

@googleuser6635 Год назад

You don't carry a pen? At least a pen is useful, unlike a SAK.

@jdb9649 Год назад

The Rambler is definitely a great pick and I often have it on me but hands down my most carried SAK is the Executive. This is a great second knife as it is a 3” knife which IMO is the goldilocks size as it’s still small enough to ride in the small fifth pocket in jeans.

@elijahguthrie7 Год назад

The Swiss cards are my favorite. I literally begged my grandma for the lite for my birthday around 6 years ago I think and I’ve literally used it almost every single since. I absolutely love it and my girlfriend does too so that’s a plus lol

@qui-gone Год назад

For EDC, especially in Europe, I have used the pioneer, farmer and pioneer X. Pretty much cover all EDC needs. Outdoors - Huntsman, keychain - rambler.

@norsefalconer Год назад

I don't know how many of these comments you read, but I just discovered this channel about four days ago. It's been a LONG time since I bought a decent quality knife, because I tend to unwillingly donate them to strangers quite often (i.e., I lose them). But, after watching several DCA videos, I ordered three from the Knife Center. They will each receive lanyards and clips before leaving the house, lol. Thanks for the informative videos, and inspiration.

@roberthaines1227 Год назад

I carry the SAK Hiker every day as a companion to my edc knife. I have livestock and acres of land and the hiker has a nice set of tools for the tasks I encounter on a daily basis.

@robertnolan9252 Год назад

I agree with you! The Hiker has the tools I find useful. It's one of my EDCs that I always have on me!

@lutzcasper5285 Год назад

Hiker or Walker for me too. There are for sure better knifes or I should say blades in this world. But the saw of a Victorinox is unbeaten!

@kendyhey1762 Год назад

Hiker for me too but I lost it out in the woods the other day so now I have ordered the hunstman

@CinkSVideo Год назад

Hiker is my favorite. The perfect set of tools.

@MrPetShopBoy Год назад

I bought a Evo S101 a few years back and I really enjoy it. It’s in my bag at all times.

@madzero0 Год назад

My edc SAK is the Climber with the small screwdriver and neerleggen as extra. Just love it.

@FriedPi-mc5yt Год назад

I EDC a SAK Huntsman. I replaced the scales with the “plus” scales so I could add a pen. While I was replacing the scales, I added a little notch to the new scales so I could carry an extra straight pin. I’ve done a some other mods to the Huntsman after watching a few Felix Immler videos. I like my modded Huntsman. It does everything I need it to do.

@stevesinclair4159 Год назад

The Huntsman is the undisputed king of EDC knives . I have 10, 4 of which are collectables & 5 with different colored Plus scales & Swiss Clips and 1 SilverTech scaled one .

@FriedPi-mc5yt Год назад

@@stevesinclair4159 NICE!

@doubledrats235 Год назад

My EDC is a Huntsman that was TSA confiscated. It was in great condition and I cleaned, oiled, and sharpened it then installed Sapphire blue plus scales with a pen, pin, mini screwdriver, blue toothpick and tweezer and blue fob. With all that it cost me less than a new Huntsman and it looks and works great. TSA grabbed my Classic SD after I carried it back and forth from JFK to Orlando many times. I now pack my knives in my luggage. TSA confiscated is a good source of used knives though.

@Phyxsius_85 Год назад

Yep Huntsman 🤘🦾

@Sethlhmstark Год назад

I also daily a huntsman, and am also planning to add the pen lol

@ogenmatic Год назад

Well done, David. Very organized and thorough comparison of features. I learned a few things thanks to you. I don’t recall the model of the SAK that’s been in my pocket for years but it has the orange peeler plus a nail file with the actual cuts in it as opposed to the diamond impregnated versions. That old style nail file works much better in my opinion which is why it has stayed with me for years.

@willb1242 Год назад

It's the Executive, and they discontinued it :( My favorite as well, though not big enough for a lot of household tasks.

@tabletaxristis6980 Год назад

@lanedexter6303 Год назад

Recently got my wife a Compact (she carries multiple other knives). I still have my bog EDC folder and Leatherman, but started carrying a Huntsman, then decided I could carry one more layer and really wanted the file, so I’ve gone to the Ranger. Always use a small squared edge grinder or the corner of a file to modify the useless “wire stripper” into a useful stripper like you see on a Leatherman WAVE.

@johnmcdougald1238 Год назад

I've carried a Swiss Champ for, at least, the last 20 years. People think it's too big and wide for pocket carry, but its worked well in Jeans, shorts and suits and goes into my pocket every time I walk out the door. I carry it in the SAK Large pouch designed to hold it and a small AAA size light and it makes a pretty decent little pocket tool kit, that allows me to make quick fixes anywhere I'm at.

@Sethlhmstark 8 месяцев назад

Carry a Traveler on my belt at all times for the last 30 years. Has a Huntsman knife; a combo ruler, compass & magnifier; and a Maglite.

@paulstevens1493 Год назад

For around the house, I carry the Signature! Same as as the Classic SD, but swap either the tweezers or toothpick (your choice) for a pen. Great for changing batteries on toys, trimming stray facial hair, filing sharp points off of nails, opening packages, teaching your kids how to spell, and keeping teeth clean.

@hermanortiz3374 Год назад

Good picks. I'm going with a fieldmaster three years ago and i find it very useful. Now, I've got a explorer, and it's fantastic.

@thomasgrable1746 Год назад

I carry a Swiss Champ every day, as I'm a confirmed gadget hound. The pliers are not very great for regular plier work, but they work well for clipping paper clips and brass for pinning my miniatures, and they're perfect for extracting a broken key from a lock.

@johnossendorf9979 Год назад

I'v EDCed my Swiss Champ since I bought it new in 1985. I'v used the pliers to remove battery terminals to clean them so the week battery would start the vehicle. It wasn't comfortable or easy but those little pliers gotten it done.

I love the corkscrew for the possibilities of storing tinder and the great ideas of replacing the toothpick with a ferro rod. Amazing little things with great features and great build quality for a really affordable price.

@dionst.michael1482 Год назад

Almost went with the compact but I settled on the Huntsman. Those knives are awesome.

@firewitch9531 Год назад

My favorites are: - The Deluxe Tinker: My personal EDC for about 5 years, it's compact enough to carry in a pouch and has the three tools that I use almost daily: the scissors, the phillips screwdriver, and the very underrated pliers. - The Tinker Small: Basically the tiny version of my Deluxe. Although the 84 mm format is only slightly shorter than a regular 91mm Victorinox, it makes a quite a difference when you carry it in your pocket. - The Bantam Alox: Not only it's gorgeous to look at, but it's so slim that it fits inside my wallet! The combo tool is quite useful. I carry it wherever a full-size knife is not discrete enough. - The Outrider: The best knife in the 111mm range and the best knife for hiking or any outdoor activity. The locking blade is great for more heavy duty woodwork. - The Rambler: A perfect keychain knife for people who don't want to carry a knife! I've gifted this one countless times.

@walterpaez2752 11 месяцев назад

Excelente elección. Recientemente me compré un Deluxe Tinker y tengo la intención de llevarla en mí maletín al trabajo.

@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 Год назад

One use for the awl on the SAK is making holes in birch bark. Then using fine fir or pine tree roots as thread, various baskets and cups can be fashioned to hold berries and even boil water. I also use the awl to make holes in drywall for drywall anchors and holes in soda cans for homemade alcohol stoves.

@GrahamAtDesk Год назад

Totally agree with the Rambler comment. I had a Mini Champ for a while before getting a Rambler and didn't carry the Mini Champ again after that. I learned my way round the Mini Champ early on, but find it's just got a frustrating amount of pointless stuff on it. The package opener/orange peeler thing is a waste of space. The ruler would be nice if I felt I could rely on it. And all the stuff that's important to me is on the Rambler. I used to carry a 2 layer 85mm or 91mm on a suspension clip in my jeans pocket too, but once I got the Rambler the only thing I ever missed was a corkscrew. And whenever I've got a bottle of wine in an urban setting, I've got access to plenty of corkscrews! But, for a suspension clip approach I think the Compact is the clear winner for flexibility in the 91mm category. Paired a Rambler in a hip pocket you've got nail file and small Phillips covered too, which is a nice combination. I find all the 3 layers just a shade to wide to "disappear" on a suspension clip in my jeans pocket, so depending on how baggy folks' jeans are, that's something to consider. I love the Evolution series though, and the nail files are great. An Evo 10 (2 layer) paired with a Rambler works well.

@thisguy2659 Год назад

I think your my SAK spirit twin. The manager with a pen has unbelievable useful to me. Probably more than my regular knives. I switched over to the explorer plus a while ago becuase the inline screwdriver is 1k times better than the back side Phillips. I however did recently switch to a Yeoman, after winning one on eBay.

@Regolith86 Год назад

I carry a Manager, which is basically the Rambler with a ballpoint pen instead of the toothpick. Great little knife, barely larger than the Classic. I also have a Mini-Champ Midnight Blue, which has a "saphire" blue semi-transparent handle with an LED flashlight on one side and a ballpoint pen in the other. That one is a bit too bulky, has a few tools I don't really need, and I don't really need the LED in the summer, so I stopped carrying it. Might start carrying it again in the winter, when the bulk isn't as big a problem and I come home in the dark.

@Jakoshdw Год назад

I carry a Victorinox Explorer w/SwissQlip every day clipped to my offhand pocket. Most optimal way to carry in my opinion. Leaves the mainhand pocket free for my main blade and since the Explorer isn't single hand open it also leaves me holding the tool in my offhand to manipulate the tools with my main hand as I would anyway before swapping to my main hand to use the tool. I appreciate the Explorer specifically for its magnifier as I get small splinters from pallets more than I care to admit and having the ability to see and dig out those micro splinter is nice. I have to use the screwdriver and awl to pry broken pallet nails out of the high impact plastic in pallet jacks.

@scottcarse6844 Год назад

@dougbotimer8005 11 месяцев назад

There is a reason the Compact is out of stock, but easy to find someone carrying it. The Compact is the optimal compromise of versatility vs. size/weight in a midsize SAK. The Compact is also the smallest tool with the full size scissors. The Rambler is definitely a great 58mm choice.

@@John5.56 if you have a twig stove they are useful for processing the wood. Also for making tent pegs (stakes). Wandering around the UK with an axe or large camp knife is not legal unfortunately.

I always carry an Executive or Bantam to compliment a larger folder w/ pocket clip. I bought my wife a Swiss Card years ago and she loved it. Unfortunately she forgot to remove it from her purse when taking a flight for a business trip. TSA took every implement that had a "point" and basically gave her the plastic card back, even took the toothpick

I do love my SAKs. The sapphire midnight manager is ideal for most all of my "inconveniences". For a size up, wish I could get essentially a size up and some pliers, but they seem to switch up the intentions for the mid from the small sized knives.

As an NTSB aircraft accident investigator, I carried a Tinker and then a Deluxe Tinker for decades and do so into retirement. Both in the very useful in the field and during hotel stays. I changed the scales to hold the pen, toothpick, and tweezers. Almost all tools on the knives found use, even the package hook. I even had an occasion to open a tin of food with the can opener...it took a bit of work. These models do not contain the corkscrew apparently required by Swiss users. No wine consumed by me during accident investigators, but a beer or maybe two when it got dark in the evenings.

That's my only frustration with SAK's. There are some excellent stainless alloys out there, I just wish Victorinox would at least choose a steel with better edge retention for its blades.
