6:37 my wife and I have had the classic Swiss Army knife for over 15 years, and replaced them many times after having to toss them before going into a concert. For the issue with the keychain loop being close to the knife, I use a lobster claw keychain clasp on the knife side, and the lobster claw to attach to keychain. This makes it very easy to detach from clunky keys and it does not get in my way when using that knife, which I do multiple times per week. You could also do it the other way around.

The Victorinox Rambler is slightly thicker than the Classic SD that you included on your list. It adds one more tool. A combo phillips head screwdriver/bottle opener.
@freman007 4 ай бұрын
Also it puts the blade at the opposite end from the keyring, which makes it a bit easier to use.

I have 58mm Victorinox Signature Lite- the brother of the 58mm Classic SD. On the place of toothpick and tweezers there are LED light and pen. Good tool! Plus one more combo tool with bottle opener and Philips crewdrover- the Signature Lite becomes a Victorinix Midnight Manager. It another good tool!

Another one I'd highly recommend is the Bokerplus Mini Techtool 1, or the Ruike S11 - both are the same, made in the same factory, under different brands. I have the Ruike version. It has a Sandvik 12C27 blade, with a good thickness for it's size, and a reasonably strong backspring.

I carried that SOG key for years to always have something to open boxes, etc. passed thru airports many times. Then a sport arena security caught it going in and took it. Airports should hire them. lol Since then I’ve carried that WESN. Removed its belt clip for better keychain carry. It’s LEGIT knife. 100% a high end blade and easy one hand open. Perfect as a usable key fob

I’ve owned three of the SOG key knives over the years. I really liked my first one, and the two I bought after I lost the first are useful enough, though I’d swear the second and third are somehow slightly worse quality. It might just be the nostalgia for my first key knife talking…

Idk just started watching the vid. But be careful with the sog key knife. The lock will fail with enough pressure on the spine. I was trying to cut a closed zip tie. It was a circle and i couldn't cut it so as i pulled the knife out the spine hit the inner side of the ziptie loop and caused blade to close on me. Its small knife for small tasks

The best for me is Leatherman SQ PS4, but the Vinox Classic is very good too. To open a bottle you can use your teeth :-) or a newspaper or a door hole or ... Vinox classic is the best choice for normal people. I have some of those knives (actually I have many knives), but all at all for me PS4, for any other Vinox Classic. For the money, best music.

UPD: TPT can also open bottles, but until razor blades could be dammaged)
