Reasonably priced, excellent tools and to this day STILL made in Switzerland 🇨🇭 !!!! Love them, nothing else like them!

I've always been very satisfied with my Victorinox Forester. Very dependable. And yes, I use the saw regularly.

Your black 110mm model is my all time favourite, the outrider. What’s fantastic about is that if you have it on a lanyard attached to your wrist, ALL the main tools, the blade, the saw and the scissors all fold out from the same end opposite the lanyard. The back tools for out in the Bush are brilliant! There is a slight curve to the back edge that makes using the awl a breeze. The corkscrew is great for getting knots out of paracord or tent lines but my favourite use is winding the corkscrew into a long 1” stick fixing the knife nice and tight then using the saw to cut out of reach pine branches that may have fatwood resin in them or fungus for fire lighting. You could even in an emergency use the same principle with the main blade for a spear. This is the best outdoor knife in the range.

4 Victorinox covers all my practical uses.

Ranger for outdoor activities. Perfect set of useful tools b4 hitting diminishing returns. Ideal for pouch or pocket carry at 5 layers in the outdoors.
Switched Ranger’s back scale into a plus scale to accommodate a pen.

Compact for urban EDC use.

Switched the tooth pick on both the Ranger & Compact for a fire steel from tortoise gear.

Bantam Alox for office or social gatherings.

Midnite Manager on keychain. Midnite Manager‘s 0/1 driver, compensates for the Philips capabilities missing in the compact.

I switch over to a leatherman wave or surge if i foresee pliers in play.

A SAK Champ was my son's first knife. The first thing he did was accidentally cut himself. He learned his lesson and still has it now, 10 years later. He loved playing with all the tools.

That nice black knife is a fireman it’s been retired for a long long time so it’s good you took care of it

The only multitool worth its price is the Victorinox SpiritX, way better value than any Leatherman.
In 65 years (since I was 9) of using slipjoint knives I have never had one “magically” close on my hand or fingers. To categorize them as dangerous is irresponsible. People should learn to use their tools properly.

Though heavy and wide, I still like the Swiss champ. I heat with wood and get splinters. Can't do without the pin, tweezers, magnifying glass. With this model I always have a pen on hand. The saw lets me cut about halfway through found branches that would be too thick for me to break without cutting. Many of the cans of food sold at the $1.25 stores have a defect in 2 areas making the kitchen can opener skip over them, but the opener on this model gets the job done.

Very nice report, thank you. Also 30 years of victorinox user here. I do a lot of work on bikes, kayaks, trailers and cars as an outdoor guide. Locksmith is my favourite tool too because it combines a very logic set of features. Straight edge is easy to sharpen and the file is useful in much more situations then I thought. The scales are solid and last longer then the rubber ones. Maybe a bit heavy but worth it.

My favourite is the Victorinox Swiss champ XLT,

The best knifes Victorinox - Hercules, Compact, Alox Classic.

[KawikaLee]

recently fell in love with the locksmith. I cant for the life of me figure out why it isn't more popular. everyone wants a plain edge trekker and completely look over this guy. More tools than a ranger grip 78 with practically all the same performance and in a more compact package.

i don't have one yet but I got a feeling that won't last long!

[jonlouis]

I appreciate that you never have any agenda when reviewing tools, just “This model is best”. I carry the same Leatherman model that I’ve had for years, and the Victorinox Spartan. Also a small Gerber multi tool that I regret buying and use for work.

[bradpelley]

The discontinued Rucksack model. Ron Hood turned me onto this one years ago. I think I got it in '95-'96, use it everyday and still going strong

[gregwhates]

Victorinox are unbeatable! For me it’s the new Companion as EDC, an Outrider as my field knife (basically a locking Huntsman in 111mm size) and a Swisstool in the house

[bushleague]

I personally use the Hiker the most, equally at home in the woods or as an EDC, your pretty much covered. I somehow lucked into finding a One Handed Trekker with a non-serrated blade, which I'm still not even sure was officially a real model. But much like my Leatherman, it only gets a fraction of the use that the Hiker does. Basically, the Hiker is always in my pocket, if I'm fishing I'll buckle the Leatherman on my belt, and if I'm hunting I'll have a fixed blade on my pack.

[tmbow]

A good leatherman is so expensive that some people are afraid to use it. Check the Ganzo g302. Just great and really cheaper. Hi from France

[michaelbuddy]

You settled on the one I think is the most well rounded too. The locksmith. Got two on order. I just hope they aren't knockoffs when they arrive.

[JR-leyn]

Another great video sir. I’m a huge Aitor fan and really like their SAK variants, especially the older ones from the 80s era. Beefy and super tough.
