Swiss Army Knife EDC Gauntlet! Winner Gets A Victorinox Compact! 

IMO this type of video is 10x better than a desktop review/ regular video overview. It shows off how fun and useful the compact can be with specific examples for each tool!

I have a compact in my pocket every single day thanks to you Zac!

As nice as the Compact is, I still really wish they would bring back the Yeoman. The Yeoman was the same size and included all of the same tools as the Compact but it also included a Magnifying Glass and the In-Line Philips Screwdriver. Unfortunately it was discontinued but has been produced in limited edition batches as recently as 2010. How about it Blade HQ, maybe get in contact with Victorinox and see about getting an exclusive re-release of the Yeoman?

IT WAS ALL IN THE RICE

I have been carrying a Victorinox small Tinker since the 80’s. Used it all the time as a police patrolman. Still carry it now that I’m retired. I have added another SAK, this one in the pouch with the scissors and magnifying glass. I wear cargo pants or shorts everyday, so it fits in my cargo pocket without issue. You just can’t beat them for utility. I would have loved to work for a fun loving company like yours when I was younger.

With names like Mighty Taylor and Impressive Jacob I don’t know how the knife gods will choose between these heroes!

Gotta love Jacobs shirt

Sweet! Loved the competition! Great, fun way to see the Compact utilizing all the tools. Thank you!

I love this challenge, because i mostly carry a Victorinox Compact as my EDC knife.

These videos are so much fun to watch. You're awesome Blade HQ.

Zack is really on that compact. Trying to convert some people. I bought my wife one as a keychain knife. Smallest sak with the ,most tools. A must have. Keep my Swiss champ in my backpack.

I think you need to do an outside bushcraft-like challenge...

I love y’all doing these edc competitions!!

Great...now that compact is on my BladeHQ wish list. Thanks Zac!

I currently have the deluxe tinker ....absolutely love it 😍

That was a great one. Thanks for the awesome videos. I love my victorinox nail and don't go anywhere without it

Love the challenges, keep doing them!

I love these videos!!! Great challenge, awesome ideas! Keep these coming, please!!!

I'm thinking of giving the compact a try. Ive had a tinker in my pocket for about 15 years.

Love the competition videos! Great video!

I love these gauntlet episodes!

Great Video, I carry a super tinker every day but I'm thinking of going the Compact route for my EDC for evenings out or weekends away

It's a shame they don't make more of the 84 mm models. Those are the largest size blades I can take to work (2.5"). Until something changes, the Cadet works great. Alox Cadet + scissors would be sweet (or Alox Sportsman / Tourists). I can always hope, right?

Another great video. Keep it comin guys we love it

This was like those professional chopping competitions... but not. Fun to watch!

That was a fun competition test!! I may just add that particular model to my collection!!

Great idea for a video. Please do more like it. I liked all of the tests except for the one for the parcel hook. I would like to have seen them pull back and attach a series of springs or at least lift up a bail of something tied with wire or twine. Rumor has it that that combo tool is supposed to work with Phillips screws as well as regular ones. If so, I would like to have seen that tested as well.

I love a good SAK. I carry a Cadet in my pocket at all times, and have a Fieldmaster in my bag for when I need something more :)

If I was there you'd lose ive been carrying a victorniox for years :) know all the tricks

This was awesome haha so fun! I carry my victorinox tinker deluxe every day! So handy

I’m planning on getting the XAVT and trying to edc it... In a bag.

Talk about an awesome episode! Greetings from Brazil!

Need a Compact T-shirt - Compact Nation or Compact Army.

that was fun to watch!!!

Awesome wish I could give it a shot

Loving the challenges 👍🏻

Challenges are 🔥🔥

Hello guys! Beautiful video !! The victorinox compact is my favorite EDC knife! He has a yellow one that I always carry with me! I guarantee you it is exceptional ... Good life!

This is my favorite content. Thanks

So excited!!! My Cold Steel Espada XL S35VN from Blade HQ arrives today!!!

I have several victorinox Swiss army knives. One in each camera case one in my backpack/camping gear. One EDC, but my Nick Shabaz knife stay at home on my desk

Great show, and I love that in another newer vid he learned to love the Compact. Now we just need to teach you guys the Pen trick of putting it under the hook to secure it for more comfortable and legible writing @bladehq Zac

Awesome video! My favorite is victorinox Yeoman.

Fun video, thanks for that!

Awesome challenge and competition 😎 keep em coming. Very entertaining. Also great knife 🔪

Which SAK would you guys recommend? I carry the Leatherman Wave+ too, so some tools aren't as necessary on the SAK.

never understood need for for corkscrew but I do appreciate the micro screw driver. need more medium SAKs w lockable blades. Evolution S18 is my favorite but I usually carry the signature lite with a spyderco

Anyone know if assisted or automatic knives are legal in NY STATE? Not city but state. I have a Kershaw with speed safe assist and don’t want to get hit with a fine if a cop sees. Thanks!

what was the pocket knife that was used in the video i need to know please

Compact is my favorite victorinox. I've got a white one that lives in my back pocket as a back up/food prep knife. Easily my most carried piece of kit.

Love these !

Hands-down the victornox compact is the best EBC knife in my opinion. All the challenges were super awesome and it put the knife to the test and it nailed every task. My only suggestion is that one of the tasks should’ve been using the wire stripper to strip a wire . Other than that I love it!

Its funny this vid showing up today. I just bought a compact. Hasn't even got to the house yet!

This is fun. Keep this up.

I loved the challenge. I'll carry a Compact tomorrow to work.

Love the game everyday carry challenges keep it up dudes!

Ha! I need one of these. Thanks guys.

I love my Compact! Great vid 👍

Yessss Jamie with a pt. 2!

I have to have the "Not today, Satan" t-shirt...epic.

This challenge is incredible. Love it!

I was wondering how long it would take you folks to review a SAK! Would have been funnier if you made the 1st guy do the test with a SAK and the second guy do it with the knife he just bought. I have a bunch of knives but SAK's are really amazing.

You missed the can opener test. The bottle opener can also work as a can opener

More challenges!

I love my Swiss army knife but the scissors fail sometimes and the little spring stabs my hand...

4:06 awnsome tricks 😜👏

My Pioneer X silver alox is my favorite EDC!

Yup

Hi! I´m totally interested in a new Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Copper Edition Series. Are they any plannings about it? Greetings from Germany

The Compact is awesome and you guys ALWAYS do a great job!!!! But.... the Beetlejuice reference was the absolute best!

I carry a compact everyday along with my s1r2 baton in arc bolder wallet and a pm2 for bigger jobs I'm good . Great SAK .

WOOW, that was my challenge recommendation, awesome :)!! I should win the damn Compact. Just kidding. You pulled it off perfecly :)

That was fun!!!

How do I get this job? This looks like the most fulfilling career path anyone could ever embark upon.

This is so much fun.

I was rooting for ya, Taylor! I think we need a BHQ Knife Life-a-lympics with a bracket of contestants. Kind of a March Madness...in the Fall...with knives instead of basketballs. (insert 'Braveheart' battlefield scene here)

Кстати в компакте ручку можно зажать под крюк и тогда писать будет удобнее.

Love it, what about a large folder gauntlet. Cold Steeeeeeel style.

This looked like a lot of fun. Started carrying a Cadet. Just cause.

Love these videos🔥👌🏻👌🏻rockin a spartan in my pocket

Hi blade hq thanks for the previous response! I was wondering what cheap beaters you recommend

Great vid I'm a Tinker man myself it's all about the phillips screwdriver

Keep the gauntlets coming.

Loving this! That is my EDC

Nice competition

Victorinox SAKs are aweaome as is the after sales service. Victorinox rebuilt mine for free after I broke a couple of tools after 25 years of daily carry. 10 more years and it is still my daily carry. When it comes to compact tools, nothing beats Victorinox. I do have a Leatherman Wave and a Victorinox Spirit X for the bigger jobs and the Victorinox is just more comfortable in the hand.

Love the "Not Today Satan" T-shirt! I think they need to give the contestants Blade HQ T-shirts.

A buyers rewards points system. That is the only thing I would add to your website. Oh and make it retroactive for those that have had accounts for years.

I carry a alox pioneer every day in my 2atch pocket as a backup

The t shirt was awesome.

Brilliant challenge, always have the compact in my pocket 👍 😀

Now switch out the toothpick for a Ferro Rod and add some helix tinder under the eye glass screwdriver on the corkscrew and you have everything you'd ever need in a 2 layer SAK

Would love to see either an OTF, serrated, or large folder (looking at you cold steel) competition.

I've got a victorinox mechanic and one-handed trekker. EDC both of them sometimes.

Can you guys do another video on affordable American made EDC? Buck, Bear & Son, Case etc......

That was awesome

2:01 hell yea. Michael Rosen rocks.

OMG I want this to complement my Leatherman Wave!

Its called hustleing the fist guy went jard the second didnt end of story 😂😂

Need a bali competition where they have to open and close it each time between tasks
