When I was in the Army a few years ago, we stopped at a petrol station for fuel and some snacks, I had my Leatherman on my belt and an elderly gentleman with an accent asked me about my Leatherman, so I obliged in pointing out the tools and even said it can be used as a hammer unlike those plastic knives from Europe...the elderly gentleman pulled out his Victorinox and said, the Leatherman is good buck lacks one important tool...the cork screw....we both had a laugh and it ended up that the gent worked for many years in the Victorinox factory....I felt so humble...

I've got one when I was about 10 years old. My Dad gave it to me. They had them as giveaway's at the company he worked. And it's still one of my favorite knifes. I'm 47 by the way.

There are many KZfaqrs out there reviewing knives and multitools, but you definitely win the award for best picture quality. Your lighting is superb.

Thanks for this video. Ive carried the Huntsman for at least 45 years. Quality lasts. An Indispensable tool. Always in my pocket on a lanyard of some kind. I never knew about the Pin by the corkscrew. One of my earlier ones came with a mini screwdriver in the corkscrew. I do use the toothpick now and then but will now replace it with a Ferro rod. This knife and a pair of 4" needle nose Vice Grips are so much more useful than any Leatherman could ever be.

This video was just randomly in my recommended section and I’m very glad it was. Great channel.

It was the first knife that I bought with my own money. I still remember walking to my local sporting goods store to buy it 28 years ago.

I love the Huntsman. It was my first Victorinox. For outdoors use, it's hard to beat. If you don't need scissors, the Camper does well too.

Used the huntsman for 2 years now in suburban applications. It’s darn handy. The weight itself is spot on because any heavier and it’s not handy and any lighter and it becomes forgettable.

The parcel hook is one of my favorite and most used tools. I is for mechanics and electrical wiring as well as tight knots. It allows me to grab things in spaces too small for my fingers. I have used the corkscrew for untying knots as well but the hook is far more useful than you would think.

The most useful task for the toothpick in my opinion has been to clear the knife from small debris in the canals between the tools. If use use the saw and get sawdust etc it’s very easy to use the toothpick to clear the dust since it fits pretty well in the canals.

Another use for the hook when camping is for lifting a billy can from off the fire - (that's what I use it for)

I recently got back into pocket knives and was trying to remember where I got my love for them. Well that took me back to when I was a young teenager, my Dad rest his soul gave me a victorinox camper, my very first pocket knife which I loved and used all the time. Don’t know what happened to that knife but I just bought the huntsman today and although I would’ve loved to get my original knife the camper, I too couldn’t go past the scissors. Dad had the bigger victorinox the explorer which had the scissors and magnify glass and I just remember the scissors being awesome! Stoked to be a member of the victorinox family again after so many years. Great video, thanks Jon.

I upgraded from Climber to Huntsman about 10 years ago and haven't regretted it. I would add that the parcel hook can be used to lift a canteen / hot pot / mug off fireplaces in camps and the awl can make a mean push dagger if you have nothing else to defend yourself and know some basics of self defence. As usual, great video highlighting all aspects of the tool! Thanks!

I've had a Ranger for about 3 decades (actually, I'm on my second as the original went to 'the other place') and I just checked for a pin hole under the corkscrew (one of my most used tools) and sure enough, there it is. Never knew that! Thanks, you learn something new every day. I'll have to experiment with sewing needles to find one that fits. As the old Saami saying goes "if you have a knife and a sewing kit you can survive anything" or words to that effect.

I have used a huntsman for years and it is a great second choice for me. I went back to the 5 layer knife and got the ranger. I find the file/hacksaw and chisel on the back are both very useful. I clip a small vise grip on my keychain and I'm set better than with a leatherman.

I have three Victorinox knives, we seem to have similar tastes. EDC: Compact Outdoors: Huntsman Keychain: Manager

After researching Swiss Army’s entire line up I have concluded that the Huntsman is about the best bang for the buck when it comes to their lighter more compact knives unless you want to get into the big behemoths. I’m surprised everyone doesn’t carry one. Quick, simple, light and easy addition to any pocket and so frikkin handy. I just ordered one.

I got a huntsman for my birthday from my family. I really love the knife and what really surprised me that I used the scissors way more time then I suggested before. This is a really useful and practical knife, if anyone hesitate to get one, do not! Absolutely worth the price!

Hey Jon, I've seen a few of your reviews of Victorinox knives. I know you don't find much use for the parcel hook but when I first bought my knife I had no idea what it was so I did some searching around. What I found at the time was that apparently some knives back in the day had a crochet hook on for patching holes in clothing. And surprisingly that hook is incredibly good at doing so. I also use it when weaving paracord bracelets and lanyards for an extra tight weave. I prefer the super tinker or the field master.

I randomly came across your video, after watching l bought a huntsman and made a point of carrying it. I've carried it now a few months and my god lts the handiest thing l ever seen. Cheers Jon.

KZfaq recommended this video, after I searched for a Mora Garberg review. Love that you go straight into the topic and kept it interesting. Very clear description. Subscribed

I carrried the huntsman for a while , then I needed a metal file for a small job, and realised the Ranger was the best option for me, now the Ranger is my EDC. It is a 5 layer, but I find it is still easy enough to carry in the pocket. Thanks for the great vids. Cheers

I bought my first new Victorinox a couple of years back. I was both impressed and a little bewildered by the range available... spoilt for choice! But the Huntsman was what I chose... right size, no fat, no frills -- except that toothpick. So your suggestion to install the ferro rod is excellent. I was also, I must admit, mildly peeved to realise it had a place for a pin, but no pin. But that is easy fixed. Thanks for a good review, and for your good explanation of the various aspects of each blade/ tool.

The huntsman was my first Victorinox purchase. I've loved it even more after I saw your video for the ultratac pocket suspension klips. Bought a few and it has made carrying the Huntsman even better. thanks Jon Gadget 🤘😎

Outstanding information. I've owned this knife for years and never knew about the place for the pin, ferrow rod or tinder. Thank you.

Okay Jon...I watched all your videos and decided on this Huntsman for my EDC over the Explorer. Ordered it today from Amazon with black scales for 35 USD. Thank you once again. Great videos with details that other leave out. Plus you make them entertaining as well as informative. Stay well.

Thanks for not just showing the tools, but also explaining what each one can be used for and why it's there. Very useful for newbie users like myself!

I have owned SAK's for well over 40 years and I disagree with your comments regarding the toothpick. Especially as one gets older the gaps between ones teeth increase and then the toothpick becomes invaluable. Thank you for your videos they are in my opion the best for SAK's. I watched one of you videos sometime back purely by accident, and immediately subscribed.

The Huntsman (along with the non-one hand opening Forester) is my favorite hiking/camping SAK. And there is nothing cooler than being the one person who can open a bottle of wine when no one remembered to bring a proper corkscrew :)

The Huntsman is, by far, my favorite SAK knife, overall. Great review and insights. Thorough. Really enjoyed that.

Because your review i decide to try huntsman , so far i love it . Thanks and keep good content coming , stay safe .

Bought one of these back in 1996 to take on a trip to the back of beyond in British Columbia. It came with a quality leather sheath as standard and it lived on my right hip for three weeks in the backwoods. Awesome tool and yes, I used the scissors to cut my nails. Still got it and still love it.

1.) The Huntsman is my EDC-knife for more than five years now and I never realized the pinhole. Thank you for that information. 2.) I can confirm that there are people that never use the small blade and keep it sharp for emergency. I know it, because I'm one of them. 3.) I think that the toothpick is a very underestimated item. I use it very often and would never swap it for a miniature fire rod. 4.) Although the tweezers are only "ok" in my opinion, they become very useful when you visit a gardening store and a family member gets its hand into a cactus with very, very fine thorns. Carrying a flashlight in addition to the Huntsman helps in such a situation. 5.) What I miss? Tongs! Would I swap the scissors for tongs? No, the scissors are so imported for cutting of a loose thread before your clothes fall apart or for emergency repair of your finger-nails! But I would swap the saw and the parcel hook and maybe the corkscrew to get a Huntsman with tongs.

You’re right, I edc a Cybertool L and it is cumbersome lol, but I love that tool set so much.

The huntsman is what I keep in my pack for the outdoors. I love it.

Been carrying one for the last 25 years, in my personal top ten... but maybe a number one in the cost to performance ratio. Subbed.

My choice of everyday. I made a pin from cutting a safety pin leaving the eye ring to make it easy to pull out and use. Also use a small magnet stored behind corkscrew to use with it to make a basic compass

Nice video, congrats👏👏👏 Despite my 51 years of age, I only became interested in a SAK a few months ago, with the aim of portability. The Huntsman was my first choice, until I met the Ranger. With 1 more layer, this SAK quickly becomes my favourite portable knife: brought ALL resources I really need to my pocket. It came in 1st place in my EDC. Ranger is Simply amazing! Cheers from Brazil.

I retired my Huntsman several years ago when the screw keeping the scissor blades together kept becoming loose. This has been rectified on modern knives so have purchased another Huntsman. The cork screw is very important - saved my bacon on a few occasions when this was needed and use the scissors quite a lot. However I probably will not be using this as my regular knife. The Cyber 34 is far more useful with its screw set as well as most of the tools the Huntsman has (I rarely use the saw!). Good reviews and Vitorinox have had a few more sales!

The idea of an added ferro rod in combination with the wire stripper is seriously amazing!

That was an excellent review, Jon - if KZfaq has a category 'Outstanding' then it should go into that. Not only did you talk about each function in detail, but the information about the ferro-rod and the fire tinder on the corkscrew was something I couldn't find elsewhere, so thanks for that. Like you, I compared the 'Fieldmaster' with its Phillips screwdriver and the 'Huntsman' with the corkscrew. (That's the only difference as far as I can see). I decided the Huntsman was much better for me. The corkscrew could be useful to help others who forgot one! Of course, these Victorinox multi-tools are really for emergencies - and very good the tools are. But if you want a real ferro-rod, there are bigger and better ones out there. And there are real scissors, real saws, etc. Having said that the Victorinox is a very clever mixture that can be carried all the time. So multi-thanks, Jon

I've got only one Victorinox, and it's the Huntsman - chose it because of the size, a useful selection of tools, and most significantly it has the one tool I was always missing in the little Leatherman Micra I'd somehow acquired previously: The corkscrew! Also it has the scissors, the tool I probably use most of them all, and they're really good scissors. I take it whenever I'm traveling - true, you may not bring a corked bottle of wine when hiking, but camping, going to the park, visiting friends with ill-equipped kitchens, or just relaxing in your hotel room, for sure! And there really isn't any tool that can, you know, sort of do the same job. Without it you'll either not be drinking that wine, or you'll be drinking a mess full of little pieces of cork. And it has other uses, as mentioned. I don't remember what it was, but I probably used it to dig something out of a narrow place or something. I wouldn't consider a SAK without it! The parcel hook too, I expect can be useful for pulling stringy things out or up - with some shoes it can probably stand in for a shoe horn. I'm pretty sure I've already used it for something, but if I could ask for one improvement, they should add a nail file like on the Compact. Maybe I should have taken the Mountaineer instead... (The Micra has a file) If I were to nominate a useless item, it would be the can opener. For the past ten years, I believe I've only ever used a can opener for sweetened condensed milk - no other cans have needed it. But apart from alternative uses and the other tools it incorporates, it'll be useful the day the pull tab breaks off that can of food you brought up a mountain. Some of the other tools might do the job, but again, it'd be messy. Incidentally, mine has wooden scales - that means no tweezers, pin, or tooth pick. I have missed none of them, but I can imagine they may be useful; I just preferred the look and the firmer feel of the grip.

Started camping with the smaller Hiker and switched to the Camper. Now I have the Ranger Grip 78 and the lighter Trekker both for camping ( Larger saw blades ). I like to use twig stoves when camping , small light weight Titanium backpacking stoves. Primarily the Firebox Nano Gen 2 in titanium. The saw blades make getting ( cutting ) dead , dry wood easy. Also have the Swiss Champ and have had it for more years then I care to tell , carried it at work before retiring.

The parcel hook is nice when tying carp rigs. It helps you pull loops tight.

The parcel hook is also useful to pull out tent stakes and lift small pots with wire bail handles. I find all the tools useful, sometimes a little ingenuity and creative thinking helps.

My favorite is the Deluxe Tinker. I've used it almost every day without fail.

I sent it in to Victorinox and had the corkscrew swapped out for a Philips and now its truly perfect

The Huntsman SAK is great. Since I wear glasses, I also added the small flat screwdriver that Victorinox sell to the corkscrew. I did have to sacrifice some of the waxed tinder to make it fit, but more wax based tinder is in my edc pouch ... never mind the hand sanitizer one needs these days .. great vid! subbed!

The Huntsman might be the best outdoor Victorinox knife for you. However if you wear the kife in a leather box on your belt, then you could even take the Ranger. You'll get a metall saw and two other tools on top. If you watch Felix Immler's tips a metall saw has some additional value that the Hunsman lacks. 🤔

My first knife was a swiss army knife at my uncles wedding i was the ring bear and I was about 5-6 i felt like rambo lol but years later im 23 and still coming back to them realizing the quality of the gift that was given.

I've daily carried and used a Victorinox Swiss Champ for 47 years, and other Victorinox SAK's I own are the Huntsman, for all the reasons you stated. I also have the corkscrew screwdriver and a tiny magnet that lives in the hook of the hook tool. My two Huntsman were specified with the matt red, non slip scales because one Huntsman lives in my camp cook kit and the other in my FAK. During my time as a motorcycle mechanic I used the small blade to cut into skin to allow the tweezers to locate and extract metal splinters in my hands. I lost count of the times I've done this, for myself and others, always with complete success. The small blade was kept soley for this type of emergency. In my almost half century of Swiss Army Knife daily carry and usage, I've determined that the Swiss Champ is perfect for me, followed by the Huntsman. I would go so far to say that for its quality, size and capabilities, the Huntsman is without doubt the best pocket knife available! As with all Victorinox and Leatherman tools, their uses are limited by imagination only... Edited to add that I have successfully used the pin to remove keys which had been snapped off in locks, be they motorcycle steering locks, padlocks or Yale type door locks. The pin exerts sufficient grip and force on the broken segment (at right angles) that it may be extracted entirely. This was an 'on the road' fix that I had carried out in my workshop using the pointed end of a metal scribe tool, the carefully positioned pin works exactly the same way. I wish Victorinox would make a set of matt black non slip scales to fit the Swiss Champ and Huntsman, that would be an improvement, and while I could fit a pair of matt red scales, my Swiss Champs have always had black scales.

Es una de los mejores modelos de victorinox junto a la fieldsmaster.Excelente vidio👍🏼

I'm glad you mentioned the Farmer X. I was thinking of it throughout the video. You made some excellent points about the price, corkscrew, and spaces for a ferro rod and tender. But man I love the inline reamer that's included on most 93's. It's like having a mini folding drill in your pocket. I really wish Vx would include modified versions of it on some 84, 91, and 111 mm models. From an ergonomics standpoint, it's my personal belief that corkscrews and multipurpose hooks are the only tools that should deploy to about 90 degrees.

One of my favs. I’ve carried a Victorinox Swiss Army knife most of my life. The huntsman and the Swiss champ. And yes, I’ve opened up a few wine bottles, when no one else brought along a cork screw. My champ is snugged away in the SOS Survival sheath. Which I secure to my fixed blade when out in the bush. Love your vids. Thank you so much.

I so agree on your choice. I have also purchased the pocket clip and ferro rod/kindling from watching your channel. Thanks for all the great videos. I so enjoy all of them.

A really well put together video there mate, you certainly have those presenter qualities! Great job 👍

Excellent video. The additional firelighting equipment is awesome. Didn’t know they existed. Thank you very much for the info 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇴

I own a hunstman along with a champ and a ranger grip. What an amazing company victorinox is. The founder founded the company so that people would have work and wouldn't need to move from town. 125 years old company, largest knife manufacturer in Europe. I own one of their watches, the swiss heritage and just recently got into their perfume line up which is pretty amazing. To anyone who is interested in swiss army knife uses and tips go check out the master of the sak on KZfaq Felix immler. Guy makes crossbows, tables, chairs etc with his sak. And at last, I don't really watch tech/gadget reviews on KZfaq, but your smooth voice, charming demeanor Mr John makes it a joy to watch ( kind of like atomic shrimp) furthermore, your shots and lightning are absolutely spot on.

I am a corn farmer and this knive is very esential to me i have been using it every day for eveey thing and its super useful and my faveroute

That is a great knife. I have one that I carried for a while. Then it ended up in my day pack because I replaced it with the Ranger. Same knife, but it adds a file (which I use a lot), a mini flat head (that I use to clean stuff with) and a scraper.

I'm gonna get my own next month, pretty excited, even though I can't go outdoors very much lol.

This is my favorite knife by far!

The Huntsman is my EDC for 10 years now. I love it.

I'd personally go with the Ranger. I like that file, along with the other tools!

hi Jon, I really like the lighting in the background. Vic is great, too 😃

I got one of those as my souvenir when I visited Switzerland and had it engraved with my name at the time. I lost it while camping in my own town but if anyone found it they never bothered to contact me. I still miss that knife. My new one has a locking main blade but they removed the short blade which was my favorite blade to use in any of these knives.

I have used my cork screw many times with great outcomes women love it when you are a capable person.and good with your hands 🙂

The 111mm Outrider is a worthy challenger to the Huntsman, and that comparison would make a great future video! Very similar tool sets, but with subtle and important trade-offs: price, weight, locking tools, saw length, handle ergonomics, etc. Thank you!

My favorite Victorinox at the moment is probably the Fieldmaster same configuration just that the corkscrew got swabbed for a phillips screwdriver. But I still have the old Huntsman which was the first pocket knife I ever got.

Swiss Champ is the truly the champion. I have used the metal saw to cut through rebar. Magnify glass is great for finding slivers. The pliers are also very hand for small bolts and nuts. But by far the best thing it has that the huntsman does not is the Phillips screwdriver. The geometry really grabs the best. Way better than the best one at the hardware store. I use the toothpick for pressing tiny buttons like the clock in my truck.

If you roll your eyes at the thought of having a corkscrew on your Victorinox, look for a Fieldmaster. Exact same knife, with a phillips screwdriver replacing the corkscrew. LOVE mine.

Really impressive production value for an up-and-coming channel, great job! I assume you have professional experience, it shows! I was leaning toward a Hiker Wood for outdoor use before this review, but you've convinced me to try the Huntsman instead. Felix Immler has really made me keen on whittling and experimenting with all the different tools since I watched this review the other day, and while I don't use the corkscrew on my heirloom Waiter in my everyday life, there seems to be much more utility for it outdoors than the phillips screwdriver. The hook and scissors seem great for outdoor camping and cooking, too. Cheers!

Huntsman and Huntsman lite are my favorite

Excellent points, very thorough. Thank you for taking the time to film this and sharing it with us.

Have had a huntsman as edc for over 4 years, love it.

For me personally it is the Explorer that fits my needs perfectly. It also have the magnifying glass for when your glasses is gone or not enough. With the ferrorod and tinder it's all you need.

I bought the fieldmaster because it has the same tools, except for a corkscrew, for which it has a Philips screwdriver instead. Also replacing the toothpick for a ferro rod is much more useful because the toothpick is probably the least useful tool on a victorinox. If you're outdoors and in need of a toothpick then it's so easy to quickly make one from a twig etc using the knife blade

👍 I have had the Huntsman for many years and agree it is an excellent pocket knife for outdoor/wilderness activities. I also agree the scissors are more useful for some tasks than knife blades. BUT, not sure I believe they are essential; so, I am giving the Camper a try. 3 layers instead of 4 doesn’t seem like a big difference yet I find that it is. Jury is still out on which I will prefer. On both knives I have scales with pen and pin included. I discarded the pen, trimmed down the toothpick to fit that slot, put the ferro rod in the toothpick’s old slot, then added the tinder to the corkscrew along with the mini screwdriver (useful for adjustments on some compasses), and replaced the stock pin with a dressmakers large headed pin. Scissors; or, No Scissors? 🤷🏻‍♂️

My go-to companion! I carry one with me at all times. It helps me a lot during the day. My favorite tools (other than the knife) on it are the bottle opener, the corkscrew, and the scissors.

8:44 I have braces and food stucks behind them all the time, so I use toothpick on my victorinox pretty often

Great review! I carry an Explorer on me edc for the magnifying glass and all the other standard qualities. Has a better Phillips as well, but I’m indoors more often then out anyhow,

I carry a Huntsman daily along with my main knife. I modified my Huntsman with a set of yellow Plus scales I purchased on eBay. The Plus scales came with a pen, an extra toothpick, tweezers, pin and the eyeglass screwdriver. I modified the scales by adding another hole for a second straight pin before I installed them on my knife. I’m not sure I could get through a day without my Huntsman. I reach for it all the time.

Swiss Army Knives are amazing. I am in love with their saws so I have a Camper and Farmer Alox. Best EDC knives so far and can easily be handed over as a heirlooom.

A superb and comprehensive review; I like the way you acknowledged the fact that the Huntsman is more likely to live in a daysack than a trouser pocket due to its hefty build. I myself am a devotee of the Victorinox Spartan. Personally I find the corkscrew a very useful addition, though that probably says more about my lifestyle than Victorinox's design policy.

Good review. I always carefully grind the underside of the large screwdriver on all my SAK's, so I can use it as another scraper for the ferro rod. My corkscrew carries the mini screwdriver, essential for fixing my specs! I don't agree about the toothpick, but then I have awful teeth and am always getting bits of bacon stuck in them!

I have the Huntsman too, and I love it. So I thougt I would pas on the great idea of having a great knife and tool at your side. So when my daughters were in there teens I gave them a Victorinox knife, and they look at me and was kind of, hm thank you Dad, but I mean, what do I do with it? Now 10 years later the all love it. And every time one of us pick out our knife, at home or on a trip to the forrest, we smile.

Just purchased my first Swiss Army knife got the huntsman

Great video I’ve been using victorinox SAK for years and never knew about the tinder and ferro rod thanks 🙏

The Huntsman is my favorite EDC-knife, always have it with me in a belt pouch. If I'm going Camping or into the wild, I switch to the Outrider, almost the same, but 115mm - the saw is a beast! With the Firefly ferrorod and the Helix tinder, it's a basic survival kit on it's own. I got it in a BOSCH marketing campaign for only 20€ - can't beat that.

Love your channel on reviews and I know have a huntsman on the way, like you I’ve had many multi tools, I’ve got a Gerber, had a leather man wingman loved it but don’t really use the pliers like I thought I would so I’m going back traditional because it’s what I’ll use for kayaking, hiking and camping. Ty so much for your reviews

I suppose just about everyone has their own idea about what is important in a knife for outdoor use, and I am no exception. A few decades ago my family spoiled me once with a gift of a Victorinox Swiss Champ, in its leather pouch. I had an SAK and the SC went into a drawer, and I seldom used it. As I got more involved and interested in knives and their uses, I came to realize that, far from being unwieldy and awkward, my Swiss Champ was just that, a Champ, and I've used it more and more over later years. My reasoning is that if I'm ok with 4 layers, I might just as well go the whole hog and use the SC! The extra tools/gadgets in the pouch helped a lot. Recently, I've become seduced with Victorinox's larger knives and after buying and reading Felix Immler's book, I graduated my choices up to the Ranger Grip 78/79 series. Even later I stumbled across the Hercules, and fell in love! I had at last found the knife of my dreams! The Hercules has the extra length and strength and choice of tools that I would, and do, use most often, and excludes those I don't really have a need for. Oh yes, at 200gms it is indeed heavier and it is bulkier, but the extra functionality amply repays one in the outdoors. It means one can, at a push, replace both a small pocket knife, and a 3" blade fixed blade with just one knife - the Hercules, or upgrade one's belt knife from a 3" blade to a heftier 5-6 inch blade. It just extends one's options to a new level. I'd be very interested in hearing your take on my experience! Cheers mate!

This is a really great review! Thank you! Subscribed. :) The Huntsman was the first pocket knife I purchased myself. It was great but when I chipped the scales I kinda got scared of how "fragile" the cellidor is and I went the alox way. Now I managed to get three ecoline Vics (Spartan, Camper, Huntsman) and I'm thinking about trying them out. I was thinking about the Camper but thanks to your video I'll probably try the Huntsman first. I wish it was a bit slimmer though. :D Regards from the Czech Republic!

The Huntsman was my first SAK. I bought it almost 30 years ago as a reward for acing a job interview. It's still in my rotation. On a side note, what do you think of the Evo Grip version , which I think is maybe the Evo S18?

I have a tiny victorinox and I have to say very impressed with it and I really liked your explanation of this one , made me want to buy one .

This is a great knife for EDC and my 2nd Victorinox Swiss knife (Explorer & Huntsman). I do admit that I prefer Letherman Multi Tool's (Wave, Signal, Rebar, Super Tool 300).

Great Channel. I subscribed! The Huntsman was my first Victorinox and I love it. Still, I don't think it is the best because of the main blade which DOES NOT lock! I actually had a cut on my finger once because of that. For outdoor use and general carry, I intend to buy the Locksmith and/or the Ranger Grip 78 which I like much more.

Embarrassing thing happened today with my Huntsman... I was watching a video lecture but got distracted and started playing with the knife and started opening up every tool. The small blade was out and when I opened the scissors the spring on it was super strong and it pushed my thumb right into the small blade. Let me tell ya, that blade is SHARP. The cut bled hard for a very long time even with pressure to the wound, and finally stopped right as I was about to go get it stitched up... My own damn fault, but be careful everyone!

For me it was a tossup between the Huntsman and Ranger. After watching your video the Huntsman became my EDC. Thank you.

Nup. I have the Victorinox Swiss Champ as my everyday carry. I've had it for about 15 years and it's never let me down. The size is perfect and the tools come in handy pretty much every day.

Great review! Thanks for the great info on replacing the pick with a ferro! That made me subscribe on the spot. Keep the great reviews coming, Jon!
