Victorinox Farmer vs Hiker. SAK Survival Showdown! 

RIP. Rest easy knowing your positive attitude and great videos are still inspiring people to this day.

This is a super happy guy

Kevin inspired me in every video. He was very giving with his abundance of knowledge in woodcraft, and to this day I find an occasional video, like this one, that reminds me how unselfishly he lived out his passion, and never showed anything but kindness and cheerfulness. I for one, truly miss, the one, the only Mega Woods Walker. RIP Brother Kevin

This guy is bad ass, he has good vibe and a positive attitude

My ultimate “survival” SAK is a Huntsman with a Firefly ferro rod, micro screwdriver, straight pin, and paracord lanyard. 🙂 Great vid!

Damn man, this guy had such a good vibe and a hell of a lot of bushcraft knowledge to share. RIP MegaWoodswalker. I pray for his family and everyone else who knew him

I stumbled across your video but your energy is amazing and definitely learned some techniques

I had just subscribed. I feel good with him as teacher - he’s so positive, not at all condescending. Not a show-off disguising as instructor or product-reviewer, but just truly friendly and even funny. I learned a lot already from the two videos I’ve watched so far - about the SAK Farmer. I just ordered the Farmer today and am looking forward to using it as I start my adventure as a newbie in bushcraft and backwoods camping. Thank you, MegaWoodsWalker!!

You taught me so much in 30 minutes & you made it look like so much fun . I'm a newbie-wannabe bushcrafter at 51 years old & Just ordered my Swiss this weekend...

This video is great! I expected another Victorinox review - I've seen a lot of those, many good, some worse - but this one was entirely different. And so full of life! Thank you! :)

Thanks for this, I have a Farmer but I never thought of using the reamer as a ferro rod striker, so you have added to my store of knowledge.

So refreshing to see a knife review and actually using it. Much better than showing a knife on a desk and talking about it for 20 minutes

This is absolutely awesome review in the real survival scenario. Most of the reviews here are done just sitting at the table and flipping knife in the hands. Thank you! By the way, I have ordered Farmer for myself.

Awesome video full of energy. I can tell you love being in the woods! Also you convinced me to get the Farmer. It looks excellent!

Tip for using the Hiker as a ferro rod striker - use the back of the saw blade. Works great, and saves the small blade.

Good video!!! I love your positivity and that everything is amazing, hah! Great work

Love the enthusiasm, and great video! 👍

Realy like his authentic innocence and happy nature! Good fella and super enjoyed his vid and survival walkthrough🙏🏻🌸🍒🤗

Excellent video! What a beautiful fish.. Thank you for posting!

Fair comparison..me I like the hiker because of secondary blade plus the tweezers and the straight pin in the handle by Phillips..that said..can't lose either way and I subscribed..love a fair and equal comparison.

Nice trout and I like the way you thanked it for its nutrition. Happy times in the wild.

I like the saw on a victorinox there great for small notches good review hey buddy that trout was worth the whole trip

My EDC SAK is the no longer made Outrider, which has locking blade. Very similar to the Trekker. The Huntsman is my favorite thou. And it saw blade actually saved my life when I was out in the wood and completely tore my patella tendon. That's a long story and for a different time. What I call my Gentleman's carry is the Climber. Everything of the Huntsman but the saw. That my going to the movies, dinner, church knife. I gave Farmers as groomsmen gifts at my weddings. .Nothing better than fresh trout for supper! As usual, great job.

You my friend are a very cheerful spirit! Bravo! A great video, of someone enjoy the outdoors and his tools. Keep it up.

Awesome review, I agree you can't go wrong with either knife in the woods.

This guy is like a little kid in a candy store… and a joy to watch. Thanks!

Another fine video. I have several SAK and they are great tools.

Thanks for this. Sold me on the hiker 100%. Also made it look like fun there!

You can use the Back of the Saw to Strike the Ferro Rod

Just because I am tough on knives, I would go with the Farmer. Built for a day in the woods. You clean a fish very well. Over all a great review. Thanks.

This was incredibly entertaining !

Nice video thanks for showing us, Farmer!!!

Good video man, love the Alox scales on the farmer, gonna get myself a Alox minichamp soon.

Your reviews are very very thorough and entertaining

Great vid pal! Love it!

This was a great video I don't see how anybody could give it a thumbs down?!! Good review on both knifes and a good cooked fish!! Me and all but one of my grandkids love wild onions and when u put those greens in that fish I thought what a great idea!! I'm gonna cook me some trout like that in just a day or two my brother in law goes trout fishing and brings me back some fish he's going in the morning so hopefully I cook it tomorrow!! Thanks for showing me that! Be safe and may God bless you and yours!!!!

This guy's video convinced me to carry my sak in addition to my full tang knife. I've nixed my multitool with pliers and have been super happy with my backpacking kit.

every body talks about survival situations, about prepping and finding food in the outdoors. Im glad somebody finally DID it

Great Video Buddy. Thx for sharing this. I use the back of the saw a lot for the ferro rod and it works fantastic. Have a great day bro. Cheers, Mike

Nice review Mr. Walker. I recently picked up a Trekker NS.

Your video is really interesting, i just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work :)

Nice video, it gets even better when one discovers the Farmer and the Rambler are a perfect match. 👌

Great job!! Enjoyed it!!

Good video, These knives can often be overlooked I have the small classic and its used everyday. wouldn't be without one. oh, and that trout looked good too. nice job.

Your videos are great, keep it up man🔥

Just ordered a SAK Hiker, will be my first ever poket knife. Time to explore the woods feeling like a professional lol

Great vid. I have a 40 year old camper (which I love) and a Alox Pioneer which I use every day in conjuntion with a few Leathermans.

Really great video. You are always so happy.

Cool video. The back of either saw is superior striking ferro rods. And you get to save your blades.

I find the back of the saw on SAK a nice striker. On my SAK (forget the model name) there is enough of the saw back sticking above the other blades that it can be used to throw sparks even in the closed position.

Love watching your videos all away from Cannock in the uk 🇬🇧✊🏻

Omg, you are so nice guy! Pressed like in the first 5 seconds of video no matter what

Farmer here ! Great trout 👍🏻Enjoyed the video!

I've never owned a Hiker. My SAK of choice is a Farmer. The awl is the deal breaker imo. Absolutely the best ferro rod scraper. What a fantastic find in that trout! Great video! Two thumbs up!

Awesome reamer on the alox models , great for clamshell/package opening & as seen ferro rod use :)

Nice video will pick up a farmer (already own a few Pioneers and this was the extra push for me to get a Farmer). Thanks and that fish looked delicious.

Thanks for the whole experience 👍 Have you tried using the backside of the saw as a striker? Would be an interesting comparison! Seems like that part of the SAK is even less prone to wear or something you might need further ahead on your hike.

One of the knives in my EDC is a Hiker. I usually have four knives on me, one of which is a fixed blade. Three of them vary, but the Hiker is always in my pocket! I've found I use the philips and the small blade the most. Anyway, I really enjoyed your video!

Thank you Worshipful for a very well done video. Well done indeed brother... ATB, Keith Alabama Bushcrafters

Great video! That fish looked awesome!

Hi, enjoyed your video immensely you clearly have a love for the outdoors. What make of large Ferro Rod do you use?

You just made me hungry! Great review! The back of the saw blade on either knife works great as a striker for a ferro rod. Put with a fixed blade and a forest axe you are set for camp task.

It's been almost 6 years... I often watch ur video. Sometimes it put me in deep thoughts. But always happy to see how you really do things cut fish, make fire, talk about Swiss Army knife. Always love knife Always remember you Brother REST IN PEACE

Nice vid, you put a lot of passion on this and thats really good man.

Fantastic positive mental attitude, great skills, particularly liked the foraging. Looked very comfortable in your environment, that's a state of mind people undervalue, no use being in the woods if you're scared of getting your hands dirty. I gave up on magnesium bars many moons ago, even a slight breeze makes them difficult to use. Tricky doing a comparison of these knives if discounting the saws, they are incredibly useful. If you live in an area with blackberry bushes tweezers are incredibly useful. The thorns on last years bushes are rotting late winter/early spring and will infect cuts they make if not all the thorn is removed from the cut, so it's Hiker for me (well, I have the Camper, a Hiker with a corkscrew). Thanks for the vid!

Awesome comparison. I have the farmer and the camper, and I find myself trying to decide which is better as well.

Great video.thank you very much.👍

Today I thought I need to see the MegaWoodswalker, and I'm looking to increase my SAK collection. His knowledge and enthusiasm were boundless.

Great vídeo mate. Im a collector of saks and bushcrafter. They are my knives always. I love the farmers for their heavier capabilities, but any will do, really..

Hey, I'd recommend pinning the firesteel down in the woodshavings pile when you try to light it. I find it works best than if you hold it in the air, the pressure is not so strong.

great review

Great video! That trout looked tasty!

Nice mood and I like the enthusiasm. If you really want to strike a rod with an SAK, just try the back of the saw. It has an amazing 90 degree angle and you don’t have to worry about damaging any blade or any other tool on your SAK. Cheers and keep up the happy face 😀👍

great comparison walker ! i carry my SAK Alox farmer every day ! atb john

Nice video. I think the cap opener / large screwdriver on the Farmer is also beefier and slightly bigger, or more confidently shaped too than the regular sak.

Fun camping trip! Ty! Bro!!!

Good to see someone not just cutting paper in a knife review.

The farmer also has full, thicker backspring. It always feels like a traditional knife to me in a way that regular Vics just don't.

I always use the spine of the saw for the firesteel and that works also great.

I have the Camper, which is a Hiker minus the phillips screwdriver + a corkscrew. I added plus scales so it has an ink pen, straight pin, and eyeglasses screwdriver. It will be my go-to for camping.

Great video. Hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed watching it. I'd prefer the farmer. The reamer, as all the blades, are easier to use out the end as opposed to the middle, IMHO.

Your channel is the best I subscribed

Goodnight Mr. Trout! 3:58 I think maybe the reamer on the Farmer could have also worked for dispatching the trout, if a short blade was needed. It does have an edge. But overall, the Hiker between the two seems better to me cause of having two blades, and also tweezers and toothpick. Just more to work with. The back edge of the saw blade also works for ferro rods, saving your sharp edges on the other tools. Both, the Hiker and the Farmer seem like great knives, but for outdoors use, I’d get the Camper over the Hiker for the corkscrew it adds. Works great for untying paracord knots and picking out wind knots and backlashes in fishing line.

Hey man ! Love ur vids ! You can also use the spine of the saw to strike the ferro rod.

Plan on getting the hiker, 1 big blade, small blade, and a saw really does it for me Update: When this was made I had to get the Camper because they didn’t have any hikers left where I went. I ended up losing that knife in a camping trip. A while later I got a Hiker and soon after that a Ranger. I can say I love them both and would recommend them to anyone.

This was awesome. I wandered in here while debating a new pocket knife because the Wenger can opener on my cheap one is warped. I was researching Victronix equipped pocket knives. I was also glad to see the saw test. That is over looked by many reviewers, and yours appeared to cut like butter (another feature I seek). I do believe the video should have been entitled "Stoned in the Woods". Man, that looked like a blast. Great speckled trout and wild onion finds, along with the violet vegetation. But dude. Stoned in the wooooooooods. Brutally stoned in the woooooooddddssss. I'm teasing you because it was so awesome. I'll bet you had a fantastic time, it looked extra fun! Sorry to tease you. Overall, it was a great video and answered a lot of my question about SAK. Thanks :) - Aerows

Your are such a great inspiration to people! You look like you're having a great time! The knife info is first rate! I was totally captivated by the vid! So I watched it all the way through! We can tell your knowledge is vast and thanks for sharing some with us. Your TV show is WAY better than the OLD TV shows from television machine. ;-) I've only seen 1 show of yours, and I hope you've made more! The check is in the mail! I think you could test out all knives! And it wouldn't be boring in any way! You could just show how you cut with different blades. You don't even need to be out anywhere. Humans like to hear other humans talk. We just want to hear what you think about knives. Show us how to cut with the different blade patterns. Show us what happens when a knife is 'lost' in the woods. Etc... How to knot a hand strap from rope. Etc... Keep up the good work! You've created a more interesting life for us ALL!

Awesome woods, knives and trout What could be more fun? Cheers from Romania!

Very interesting video good job

Clicked for a knife review, subscribed for everything else.

Great video both good knives but i would still prefer a cheap mora for the larger blade and scandy grind.

That is one beautiful masonic trout you caught there Worshipful !!!! Wish I were with you brother !! Keith The Alabama Bushcrafter

this man is a really good youtuber survivalist. really is realistic

I only had the time to watch the last 3 minutes now, so you might have mentioned this before... If you like the Farmer, take a look at teh Harvester or the Electrician plus. Those have a small blade (hawkbill / sheepsfoot) instead of the can opener. If you don't have canned food with you, I think those are perfect outdoor knives.

This guy is super positive, he should totally be a scout leader

Cool Knife review

ol buddy that trout look mighty good

This guy understands what’s up, a good SAK replaces at least 5 whole separate tools including a filet knife. Good on ya brother.

This does put a smile on my face

What a nice video! Made me want go live into the woods with my Huntsman for good.
