Victorinox Swiss Army Rangergrip 78 Knife 

Same here. Just because it can hold firestarter kit in it, also from victorinox, and the tip of corkscrew is useful for untying knots and picking out something that require blunt tip so you dont mess up the owl or material working on it. All of this is preference for sure. In my opinion, 78 around and in the house or flat, 79 bushcrafting.

@@mihamakerI replaced toothpick by Firefly flint rod.

That also. But is it really necessary...splitting any twig or branch you have toothpick. :-) Main difference in cork screw inserts is that you have flint and fire material all in one. Green and orange in this purpose. It is small but it can do quite a bit in a pinch. Look for Felix Imler, he tested it and started over 100 fires with one set.

@@mihamakerYes, I've seen it. Imler is a Victorinox user at the highest level.

I also bought the 79 for very much the same reasons you gave. But, being left handed, the knife is awkward to open one handed . I am dexterous enough to do it with my right hand, but it just didn't 'feel' right, so I swapped it out for the ranger grip 55, that a friend wanted to 'upgrade'. The RG55 has the added benefit of being legal in Germany, where I used to go regularly and will again, once this pandemic thing is sufficiently understood!

Yeah I’ve wondered that as well. It’s still going strong, I still use it daily🏆

@@pinhookfishingclub Hi, "Ranger Grip" version or 130mm, was acquired from Wenger after Victorinox bought the company. They continued producing it (among other models) under Wenger name until they changed name completely to Victorinox. In original it never intended to have scissors. Because it was meant for outdoor uses and other heavier duty. That's why "Ranger" in the name. So the largest from Victorinox collection with scissors is 111mm, or just below Ranger Grip selection. After merging they added specialty version, Gardener. Or ranger grip 71 that have scissors as primary tool.

@@mihamaker Thank you so much for the information! I’m still using it each day! Is there any other outdoor knives they make that you recommend?

No idea, but they are a good price here in the U.S.

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to try the 111mm. I only have two of their knives. I might start getting more and collecting them.
