I love that they have locking blades now and that they are evolving a bit with the technology at hand while still being recognizable as the first multi-tool ( and, personally, one of my first knives ever ).

My grandpa always carried a classic SAK and he got me a serrated Trekker about a year before he passed away. I carry it daily and the only thing i changed was the keyring. I got rid of it for a paracord keychain with another larger ring on the other side. Makes a comfortable grip and you never know when youd need cord or bendable metal

Thanks for adding the little out-takes after the closing. I enjoy you sharing them in addition to your wonderful, informative reviews.

Purchased the non-serrated version based on this review. Great folder for fishing and camping. Works much better as a knife than my Leatherman Sidekick. Saw is long enough to be truly useful.

Appreciate the review! I just picked one up (serrated) for 20 bucks in mint condition- could not be happier. It makes for a great tool for trucking...👋🏼🇺🇲

Great EDC , I own the NS one handed Trekker and love it , I think it works awesome as an EDC blade and multi tool ! I use it a lot in the woods when I'm setting up camp of just on a weekend back pack trip with the wife & kids ! Thanks for sharing Brian , 👍🏻🇺🇸

My Uncle was cutting wood across his lap like that during a camping trip. In front of me, he slipped and the knife ran down into his lap and missed his femoral artery by about 1/2 inch. From that day forward I whittle and cut side side saddle.

I love my One-Hand Trekker and Forester. I honestly think this 111mm line is THE SAK knife everyone should own.

I've carried my fat Swiss Officer model now for right at 30 years. Still going strong. And I agree, their saw is one of the best to be had. And living in the desert, I really like the magnifying glass on my model. While it can start a fire, it's really great for finding those oh soooo tiny, cactus "fur" spines when embedded in one's finger or hand. Victorinox...top quality, always. However...none of the "tools" in my Officers model lock and like you. I love locking blades, etc. Thanks Bryan.

I really like this knife and it might be my next Victorinox acquisition. I'm not a big fan of the serrated blade and I'm really glad they're so thoughtful to make a non-serrated one to please customers like me. Victorinox can count on my business.

Swiss army has been always a provider for high quality products i personally own the camper model from them and i am highly pleased with the quality not to say that they ensure lifetime warranty for all their products . Keep up the good work Brian i`m waiting for a video from you about your husqvarna axe !

I like that one. Thanks. I have a victorinox multitool that I have carried for about 3 years and I love it. I have used the screw drivers and other tools many, many times and they are all still in great shape.

LOVE the Trekker. I bought the NS but the way they did the serrations is much more practical for camp use. Both winners.

Great video. I prefer the non serated blade.

Thanks for the review Bryan! I wondered how good this was as a woods/camp blade, but now I think it would make a pretty good EDC knife. I actually like their reversal of the positioning of the serrations and fine edge - makes WAY more sense to me, at least for wood carving purposes.

I always keep my SAK Tinker with me. They Are fine knives. Thanks for sharing.

I have the firemans knife. it has a lock blade and a serrated. love it !!

That is the coolest serrated edge I've seen! To me, much more useful than the usual serrations at the base of the blade. Great video, Bryan! I've been looking at this knife for a couple years now...gotta get one now, thanks for all the great info as always!

Congrats for ur sons eagle scout rank ! you must be proud im sure.

Love this knife. Have had it for years. I too like the liner locking blade and flathead/pry bar. I own the serrated version. Great review and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Brian, I have the camper, the rucksack and the classic, and love them all. I'm thinking the one handed trecker ns will be my next Swiss Army knife. Take care, Ben from Nova Scotia

I've had this knife for a while and it's excellent. The saw in particular is great.

Brian! I really REALLY can't believe that YOU did a knife review without telling us whether it would strike a ferro rod.

Thanks for another great video! I have a one-handed tracker enjoy it very much and I use it just about every day. Thanks again!

Hi Brian, I subscribed because of your comments on batoning, but I've kept watching because you have commonsense reviews. I may just buy this knife. Thank You!

hi Brian great review...as usual...bin carrying knives as long as i could walk..but never had a sak...leatherman and good flipper always what i carried...but happened upon a oho trekker on cregslist and clouds opened up and gods rays shined down apon me...holy crap how come i never seen one of these awsone peaces of kit before!!!...now im a convert...3 trekkers 4 91mm knives 4 58 mms knives holy cow...my edc now is a oho trekker black with added pocket clip and rambler model on my keys..feel very prepaired for anything. .funny how you go 44 years in the dark and WAM...lol..thanx for your review...my new favorite tooo.

Man I love Swiss Army knives, if I was made of money I would probably have a collection of a thousand of them.

What steel is the blade made out of?

I fall'd in Love with The Victorinox Trailmaster. Now it is my edc knife

this is almost the exact model which I was given and use at the swiss army. Ours is green and the serrated version

Say Heah Brian, I love mine, I have the Victorinox Delemont Collection Ranger Grip 78, The 79 has the Corkscrew instead of the Phillips. But the Corckscreww you can use to untangle paracoard. I actually use the Awl alot in the bush. I also got a large pouch that I can belt carry it. The pouch coincidentally is army green so it really fits in my new Ultra Carry Trio for my Afternoon Delights which is a hot cup of coffee on the open fire and a baked potato, I teamed my Mora 2000, my Mora Hatchet and the Bacho Laplander which I can carry all of them in my Haversack, The 2000 I belt carry it on person and the rest in my Haversack that I made from a Far Mine Camo Foldover, It's just perfect for what I needed. At first I carried a more robust belt knife like my Bokor Black Vox Rold, and not only did it match with its handle color, But after using the Mora 2000 with the other tools, I just carry the Lite Trio plus the other C's in the Havedasack. But when I Scout some unfamiliar area's, I take a more Robust Trio. yeah that Vic Trekker is awesome. is that the Victorinox Delemont Collection Ranger Grip 78 ?

was that a skunk behind you at 1:20?!?!

I believe the non serrated version of this has been discontinued. Rather than pay an additional $35 for another RangerGrip (which is also an excellent knife), I went ahead and bought the Trekker in serrated and reprofiled the blade. Did it by hand in a couple of hours as a fun project. Love it so far.

I have used mine for several years as a EDC knife.. Its an excellent blade.

I had a 15 Dollar off 30 or more black Friday coupon at fresno ag Hardware it was 39.99 minus 15 Dollars so it.came out to 26 Dollars and change for the One Handed Treker serrated version! Great Video Sincerely Thomas Raymond Fresno California

that serrations up high makes good cuts for meats fish critters etc I always loved this knife took an oven apart with it once just to see if I could it has everything you need and it comfortable

Corporal Kelly carry's thisknife daily from what i understand..If its good enough for you feller's I know i will get alot out of it myself..Thanks for the review Brian!! I appreciate it!..👍 Dinker..

great video as usual I like the NS version never liked serrated blade too much. keep them coming Peace

I got a different model. Great little folder. Thanks for the video :) - Martin

This is one of my top picks (within Victorinox). Non-serrated near the handle is best if you're going to have serration at all. I prefer completely non-serrated, so there's at least one edge I can keep sharp in what is really not a dependable knife for outdoors, no matter what the SAK model. I don't recommend an SAK even as backup outdoors, I'd rather have some $8 Morakniv. Cos if your main knife is lost or dulled, what you need is a backup edge, not anything they put in SAKs.

congrats on 103, 5k I remember you at 3k, thanks and keep up the great vids.

Gifted my NS OHT to a friend thinking I would just pick up another one. Wrong-now they are gone. I picked ca serrated version, learned how to keep it sharp, and love it. Question: has anyone here used a serrated OHT to clean fish, such as trout?

Great knife. Love that it locks!

Finally a good review on the knife. Thank you.

I have had one for years now, like it. Only thing I have the serrated one, wish I would have gotten the regular blade

Nice video. I have a couple of these and find the Philips is awkward in tight situations.Would be better hinged like the blade. Otherwise good. Cheers.

actually....The OHT only comes in black unless you can change the scales . But I have this model and great demo and discussion of this great SAK

I've got an older Forester, which is the same knife except it's not OH opening and it has a corkscrew instead of a Philips ..and I recently bought a soldier, which is the same except it has grippy handles with no toothpick and tweezers and only comes in serrated. I hate serrations but I'd heard good things about the grippy handles and wanted to try them. Let me tell you those grippy handles are way better than the standard resin handles. If you dont mind losing the toothpick and tweezers, definitely get a grip version of this knife. On the issue of serrations, I hate them - or I did until I got this knife. This is how you do serrations right. They cut through anything fibrous like a laser beam and putting them on the end of the blade rather than by the handle, is just genius. If I was buying again, I would definitely get the serrated version over the plain edge. In other words, get the Soldier version.

Great video dude. I think i am going to buy myself one of those. I have a few knifes (switch blade and kershaw leek) and i have been looking into knifes that would be good for outdoor use with a few tools and i think i might go with this because i want a saw bottle/can opener and this sounds great for me because the hunter looked good but didn't have exactly what i wanted. Thanks for posting this video.

Sorry to bug you but what is your method to sharpen the plain a serrated blade thanks Brian.

Love my Field Master edc, but I want one of these!

I'd like to see how well the serrated version does against other serrated blades in cutting seat belt and other tougher materials. it looks like the way its designed it would lend itself to it well

For those who don’t know you can replace both the tweezers and toothpick with firefly ferro rod, however I would keep the tweezers Incase you get splinters

Excellent video, very good narration.

I got the 2 Hand Version. it is awesome.

I've never had much of a use for SAK's but I might have to get me one of these

both links for the kinfe says in the description same thing "FUNCTIONS: large blade with wavy edge," looked on google and the nonserrated blade was not found???

thank you for making this video your the reason I got this knife and its in camo

I like that knife. I think I would go with the non serrated

Happy New Year!!, teacher! and greatings from México City!!

I just recently got the serrated blade one, I was giving it a try and was opening something with it. But foolish old me had the knife slip and nearly take off my finger tip. Just be careful with one of these

That's a great knife Bryan. I love my SAKs.

Say Heah Brian, Infact I took a similar knife to back-up the knife I'm using this weekend, I took my Victirinox Rangergrip 78, My main knife is my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife, I'm finding out, I could use it a a one tool option, But I'm so use to multi carry. That's why I brought the Vic. For my personal chopper I brought my 24" Council Pack Axe with heavy sheath and sling, and my Silky Bigboy 2000 with sheath. and ofcourve my Kodiak Gearsling. I still concider this to be a managable carry and using it in alot of snow proves it to me. I really like it. What's the difference between your Vic. Trekker and a Vic. Rangergrip besides handle color. Anyhow, Have a Happy St. Patrick Day.,,.

Actually not all Swiss Army knives come with toothpick and tweezers. For example: the alox and wood lines from Victorinox do not include scale tools.

I have a Rambler that I keep tethered to me too

Great review Bryan.

I wish I had bought the regular blade instead of the half serrated. I think the One Handed Trekker and the Soldiers Knife are the same except for the scales. And maybe the Trail Master too.

I got a surplus Swiss trekker from the German army for $25. It looks new and has the German emblem not the Swiss. It also has a non serated blade and no toothpick or tweezer.

Just found this vid. I've been looking at this knife for a while. Thanks for the review. Oh, your link goes to a non-one-handed trekker. But Amazon does have this knife.

I'm not one for serrated blades. I have a special one only for emergency or defense by CRKT with VEFF serrations with a double guard which I need. However if I were to buy a knife with serrations this likely would be a top consideration.

i have the One-Hand Trekker and the steel seem kind of cheap so i would not put to much pressure on the blade... and i know Victorinox has been using this steel for a long time but it dose not seem like a great steel and it not very thick ..its not a Hard uses blade it more like a back up blade..but this would make a great knife for light tasks around camp...

I bought this knife (serrated) and loved it, but couldn't live with it. Biggest downside is the two-handed blade closing operation. No pocket clip sucked, but I'm sure there's a mod somewhere to fix that. And, thumb holes are not my preference, but I was getting used it. However, the two-handed closing operation just irritated me to no end. I really hope Victoronox fixes that.

next time you're in the fishing section of a store get a big brass snap swivel, the kind for big catfish fishing or saltwater fishing. tie your bank line on it and snap the swivel onto the lanyard ring and the lanyard to your belt, that way if you want to remove the lanyard just unsnap it. the swivel is small enough that it isn't uncomfortable in the pocket, but strong enough to secure the knife.

Are you able to close it with one hand?

I don't own many SAK's but do own a reg Trekker. I'm very pleased with it except for the bit of up/down blade play when the blade is deployed/locked. In regards to tool stock thickness and frame strength, would you say that the 111mm Vics are substantially stronger/more robust than the 93's, 91's, and 84's? Is each size increase stronger than the one before it?

Nice very nice! Good review Bryan!

Looks like a great blade! Wish that saw locked though.

Hey brian,check out the victorinox ranger grip 58 an the hunter xt,really kool gut blades on these.

Thank you for the great review. I ordered the trail master which is and identical model last week for a scout. How do you sharpen the serrated version? I wanted the NS but it’s not in production.

Good video! It seems quite impressive. I might have to pick one up!

Nice knife, but I can’t bring myself to carry a knife without a needle - tip. I just can’t.

cool knifes great review bryan

You forgot about the wire stripper on the bottle opener

Neat knife,on my wish list!

Victornox should make a fixed blade knife, their folders are so great they need to make one

Love mine Brian!

+survival on purpose - "just like all Swiss Army knives..." FYI, the "soldier" model does NOT include the toothpick and tweezers. Good review and thanks for your vids.

Ive got a similar one but without the saw. I found that the lanyard hole digs into my hand so i ground it off

It's 2020 when I found out the non-serrated model has been discontinued. The demand for non-serrated blades is bery high. Victorinox?

I think the non serrated blade knife has been discontinued though I have no idea why they would do that

Great knife is that left hand or a right handed.

It's a shame Victorinox has discontinued the NS version of the Trekker.

you could have taken it and seen how good it was balanced and THROWN it at that tree behind you! and then dropped it from two meters see if broke, and then dropped it off the second floor deck open into a kettle full of water and see if it closes up! :-) Thanks nice video! I'm sold on the NS can I get through Amazon through your link? atb stay safe. Mark in Texas. We Gone!..

I have been wanting one for a long while the NS is hard to find.

Swisschamp all the way

Its..excelllent

liking it. mine in order/surated one thnks on review product

Thanks for another good video

Since the two biggest tools on it are the knife and saw, they should have made the saw locking too! I can do without the bottle opener locking
