Victorinox Fieldmaster | Swiss Army Knife | Field Review

Krik of Black Owl Outdoors takes a look at the Fieldmaster Swiss Army Knife by the legendary company Victorinox. Perhaps you weren’t first introduced to the Swiss Army Knife by Angus MacGyver in the 1980’s hit television series “MacGyver”, but undoubtedly you have heard of them. The Fieldmaster comes with 10+ stainless steel tools to help you get the job done wherever you find yourself. While the Fieldmaster is slanted to more towards outdoor uses such as hiking, camping, bushcraft, fishing and general chores, Krik prefers it as an everyday carry regardless where he is headed. It has just enough tools to cover a wide base of activities, yet is small enough to carry everywhere you go and not be an inconvenience.

List of Tools:
Philips Screwdriver
Flathead Screwdriver
Large Blade
Small Blade
Scissors
Multipurpose Hook
Reamer
Toothpick
Tweezers
Wood Saw
Key Ring

If you open the Philips Screwdriver, you will see a tiny hole in the scale at the base of the tool. This is where you can store a straight pin or perhaps a small sewing needle.

That's the one I have. I just really didn't need a corkscrew ;-)

[pasquale]

So basically this is a Huntsman without the cork screw, but with a screw driver.

Wow I like this model! It's got a saw and an awl, scissors and 2 blades (and more)! I like it!

My favorite SAK is the Fieldmaster.  The saw is much more useful than most people think.

Old video but this feels like I’m in the forest hanging out with you. Nice and relaxed. I swear I have to use the tweezers to get any of the tools out.

I'm 11, and my Dad said hes going to get me this Victornox multi-purpose tool today or tomorrow.

Nice review. I carry the SwissChamp every day without fail, in or out of the woods and regardless of what other tools I may or may not have. I absolutely love it!

Every single video you and Stony make are outstanding. Black Owl Outdoors is definitely my top 5 favorite youtube channels.

Hands down my fav sak of all time
Perfect balance of tools
I own 3 of these

I love this knife! For me, it's the perfect combination of functionality, size, & weight, both around the house & in the woods.

For years I had a Victorinox Rambler on my key chain, *by far* the most useful EDC item I carried. Excellent quality, and just the right tools for my purposes.

I recently switched it for a Minichamp just for the heck of it, but I mounted Rambler scales to keep both toothpick and tweezers.

Thanks for posting this! The Fieldmaster is my EDC, but unfortunately not many people know this model because of the popularity of the Huntsman. For me it has the perfect combination of tools for indoor and outdoor use.

I EDC the Ranger (5 layers). It seems to be a family tradition. One grandfather carries a ranger, the other an old huntsman (4 layers). My kids will soon have a huntsman and fieldmaster as well.
As always, thanks for making high quality videos.

I like this knife a lot. This is for outdoor and indoor purposes. The best all-rounder. I might tell my mom to get this for me this Christmas. I can use this knife in a daily situation and in the wild. Perfect

The corkscrew is useful for loosening knots and holding the mini screwdriver accessory. Also the small screwdriver on the can opener can be used for Phillips. I have a Fieldmaster myself but would recommend a Huntsman.

[edsfatboy]

One thing he left out was the food can opener  and behind the phillups that folds out...there is a hole for a straight pin

Had the Fisherman's model. It was the first knife I bought after saving up all of my birthday and Christmas money that year. Bought it in 5th grade (1980), and used it until I got the SwissChamp about 3 years ago. I use it for EDC, and like the corkscrew mainly because it holds the little screwdriver very securely (great for tightening up sun-glasses). Best knives around for the money, IMO. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

Excellent review! Fieldmaster has just about everything you need for survival! You made a very attractive presentation! I like!

[hermanalcaraz]

I carry a swiss champ as my edc. I've used almost every tool on it between work, camping, and whittling . great video.
