@@johnhenson4054 The corkscrew is way more useful & the drivers on the bottle & can openers are ironically better than the 3D phillips. It’s the bias towards “proper tools” that makes you perfer the 3D Phillips. The best phillips driver that victorinox makes is actually on the Rambler. If you really want a “proper” phillips, get the Rambler. It’s not uncommon to carry both a medium & small Victorinox for different, light to medium-duty tasks.

As for a pair of pliers, the 4 inch xs cobra from Knipex comfortably fits inside a pair of jean’s small pocket (the pocket above the right-side pocket).

You're right about the combotool. I used to carry a Compact until I had to face a larger Phillips screw (essentially the kryptonite of the combotool). So I tried the Climber (the one which I never before understood the appeal of) and that's when I realized the other upsides of it as opposed to the Compact. 3-layer SAKs are more comfortable in the hand than 2-layer ones. Two blades are better than one. I also found uses for the awl that's missing from the Compact. And even though the Climber doesn't have the ballpoint pen and the nailfile my Manager has both (they're even more comfortable to use than the ones on the Compact).
@CurlysCurated Жыл бұрын
Agreed! The 3-layer feels like the perfect thickness for grip. And I love that damn little pen knife! I use it probably more than anything else. Although, like you I found a use for the awl (putting holes in te bottom of a flower pot.) And I'm a huge fan of the Manager. Very underrated little knife. I did a whole video on it.

I’ve carried a Climber for almost 20 years, but recently switched to the Compact. It is much more expensive, sure, but for my urban daily use, it has all I need and adds a (not great, but usable) nail file and I still didn’t come up a Philips screw that I couldn’t deal with the combotool. If outdoors, I still go with the Climber but most often choose the Handyman. I recently got a custom made Yeoman that I’m about to try EDC. The Compact is to the Climber as the Yeoman is to the Explorer: you got essentially the same capabilities, with one less layer (and losing the small blade and awl both of which I almost never need in the urban environment).
@lmbraga9 ай бұрын
The Climber is probably the best value for money EDC victorinox knife. The only thing is it doesn't come stock with the plus scales (pin, pen, mini-screwdriver). But finding one used and replacing the stock scales with plus scales, makes in perfect. Considering it is cheaper than the Compact even if it has one more layer is pretty good.

I bought a Swisschamp a month ago as my 10th Victorinox, for a pretty good price to be honest as well and I am impressed by it, none of my other SAKs have metal file, inline Phillips or the pliers so I wanted to find out how good and useful those are, also I like that it fits no problem in the 5th pocket of my jeans. It only cost £8/$10 more than I'd pay for a Leatherman Squirt and it's much much better than one of those. But like you say, hardly anyone needs that entire toolset on a daily basis. Also I stopped buying pliers based multitools after buying my Knipex Cobra XS which I do like to have on me and I do use, maybe not every day, but a few times each week. Apart from that the tools I use most on SAKs are the blades, especially the small blade for opening packaging, the scissors, the bottle opener for bottles of Heineken and as a general pry bar, and the can opener as an occasional Phillips screwdriver and also for limited prying applications, it fits particularly well under the screwtop lid of a jar of pickles for example to release the air with that nice pop sound. So my Climber fits the bill for that. Mine is with black plus scales including a pen, with a pocket clip on the scales (not that SwissQlip which costs more than the knife). Together with the Knipex that's pretty much all I need for general urban EDC.
@simonh6371 Жыл бұрын
P.S. agree with you about the Compact, even though here in the UK I can get one for about the equivalent of about $42, not $60. Actually about the same as I paid for my Climber with the separate plus scales with pocket clip attached. But it lacks the small blade which I use a lot, the awl which is the most useful of the 3 back tools, and I think the combotool on it is even more awkward to use on Phillips screws than the combotool on my old style German Army Knife (not a Vic unfortunately). Liked this vid a lot and if you have more content like this I'll definitely subscribe.

I discovered the Climber about 18 months ago. I was using the Huntsman in my EDC, I had three and lost one. I went to buy a replacement, and saw the Cilmber, which is basically a Huntsman without the wood saw, which I have never ever used. After a few weeks carrying the Climber I was that impressed I added a set of titanium-alloy scales to replace the red cellidor scales. Purely a vanity thing, but I like the added heft the t-a scales bring. I also have an older Champ, with the grey plastic magnifier, but I don't carry that outside as I like the grey glass so much I'd be gutted if I lost it.

The ranger is another under-appreciated model... it's much smaller and more compact than a champ, but has the saw and the file, as well as all of the back tools that the champ has... Good camping knife. (5 layer design)... (vs 8 on the champ, and 2 of those extra 3 layers are very thick (the pliers and 3d screwdriver layers)) looks like 7 because of the dividers, but I count the fish scaler layer as the 8th layer.

But the tools of the SOG are brittle, sharp, dangerous and cheap looking. I think a dream tool is something like the Sog pliers with Victorinox peripherals.

I boil EDC down to this: There is what you definitely need. There is what you will need a few times a week. There is what you will need in a pinch. There is what you might need once a week or so. Then there is what you will need in an emergency. ....Some stuff on you and some in your vehicle. EDC for everyone is going to be different. Some only need a small knife. Some need a big multitool. Some need more. Some don't need anything but carry all the expensive/fancy EDC items they can just to try to look cool. I fall into the category of "Need More". Because I do bigger and heavier tasks as well as small and light tasks, I have ended up having to carry more. I also like to be prepared for emergencies. I ended up having to carry a multitool (like the wave but not a letherman), a Gerber Dime, a folding knife and a Vic Swiss Champ. I use each one at least five times a week and have used almost every tool on each. Then there is the stuff that I run into at least two or three times a week that, if I don't have, I need to run to a store to buy again because I never have it with me. But I already have a dozen+ at home. Duct Tape and electrical tape are perfect examples. It sucks to not have it and have to buy another roll in a pinch. I ended up with a lot of rolls of tape at home that had a few feet taken off of each. So now I carry 12 feet of each. I do have to carry a few other things with me as well. My backpack is a little heavy but it has nearly everything I need at least three times a week. Everything else is in my vehicle.

@6:18 I disagree; the compact is not "very overpriced" it has plus scales and costs so much because it is hand-assembled, and it has the unique nail-file on the parcel hook (not found on any other SAK); installing the pin and pen is not automated, hence, these are more expensive to produce as is the Compact parcel hook. All plus-scale knives cost more. How much would you pay for a hand-assembled knife? @12:40 noted above Victorinox can't add the pin to knives that are machine produced that's why so few come with it. (Watch Jon Gadget's video of his Victorinox factory tour. Hand assembly is explained @4:40 through @5:48.) If you want to add a pin get a Dressmakers pin #22 size:20 1-1/4" long in Nickel-plated steel. For me, the Compact is the knife I carry just going around town. I have many SAKs to choose from... To each his own. For me, I love the compact, it was worth $59 to me and was not a rip-off owing to the unique features in a very compact-carry knife.
@ChristopherRobin589 ай бұрын
While I agree that the Compact is overpriced, you have to consider that they add the plus scales with pen, pin, and mini screwdriver into that price. Adding those 3 things to a $30 knife can end up being another $20-$30 with shipping. Still agree it should be cheaper though. Love my Climber, but using the can opener on phillips has proven to be annoying and tedious. So I started carrying the Explorer.
