Hi my dutch friends! Greetings from Germany! After using the mid sized and the XL version of the (original) first Leatherman back in the 1980's for about eight years, I purchased the exact Victorinox Swiss Tool you are testing in your video. I now have it for 30 years, and am using it ever since. As a live musician and Motorbike rider I just have beatenthe living shit out of it, and more often than not. The only thing that ever happened to the Swiss Tool: I damaged the chissel by using it as a screwdriver (yes it was dark and I was drunk), but was able to fix this on a cheap waterstone, and the leather sheet or butter, the belt loop of the sheet broke after 25 years of carrying it. I bought a second one, to have a spare, but never needed it, always use the first one. Pro tip: use the back of the saw for fatwood scratching and use of the firesteel. The back is real sharp. Love your videos! Keep on doing what you do.

The last time I was looking for a new multitool, the main thing I looked at was the scissor. I may be a weirdo, but that tends to be the tool I use most. The simple fact is that no one has exactly the same needs, so you always have to stop and think about what is best for yourself.

From the U.S.A. I really enjoyed the challenge and think it's more relevant if caught off guard than planning a survival situation. A good backup/emergency system. If you work on 90° batoning, you will surprised how well it can actually work. Check out Felix Immler, everyone, another enjoyable guy to watch... "The Old Gunny".

I've had my best multi-tool result from Victorinox & Leatherman, been using multi-tools since 1993 so decades of daily use. My current fave is a SwissTool, had it since 2001 and still holding up fine.

I feel like a leatherman wave woupd of been a better choice. Even though alot of leathermans have the same tool the design on each saw/knife/file are shaped different and they do perform different

From Belgium; I love you guys' show. The woods are very similar; and the rain used to be a problem too 🙂 Awsome quality camera work & editing too. Keep up the good work!

I've been waiting Victorinox content for like 3 years, thanks guys...greetings from Colombia!

great video very entertaining glad to see you guys after what you have gone through all the best looking forward to the next one :)

Got a vic SwissToolRS 16 years ago and it's been my EDC all this years served me flawlessly an still in very good condition. All tools still are the original ones. Didn't need any repair or tool replacement. 👍

I think Swiss Tool would be more comparable to Leatherman's Super Tool 300, but it's still amazing how well they both handled bushcrafting tasks. I'm still going to carry around a fixed blade in addition to my multitool. Can you please review the Glock Feldmesser (either 78 or 81)? I know you don't like 1095, but it's a rather affordable and very sturdy bayonet and I heard it might stop being produced soon.

missed the awl on the signal hehe. sooo happy to see this video though

I've had my Spirit for more than 15 years, and it is still in amazing condition. Wild price tag, but she's going strong.

Man dbk is the best and most genuine honest channel

Thank God it’s Thursday ….DBK Day… Hell yeah! My boys and I look forward to seeing you guys every week. You touch lives all around the world 🌎 each week. I’d say that is successful in itself. Keep doing what you love and you can’t go wrong. Proud of you guys, love to your family and mom.

every Thursday i order food and wait for a new DBK episode...

I have had both the Victorinox Swisstool and the Swisstool Spirit X. In the end I kept the Spirit X because it fits in my watch pocket of my jeans and has rounded edges making it more comfortable to use. They both have the same features except for the Swisstool having a ruler and having the jaws of pliers being able to open up a bit wider. Also you can apply more force because of size with the Swisstool. But the compactness of the Swisstool Spirit X won it for me. I like the 'hardness' of the tools being exactly right (for me): the tools do not break but bend when applying too much force and can be bent back while still being able to keep an edge. Also rust resistance is great: using it in and around the sea does not immediately cause rust. You still need to rinse it after use with sea water and sometimes apply a drop of oil is recommended. Making fire with fire steel using the saw blade works great. Most used tool in my life. Have many great blades but since society frowns upon having a knife hanging from your belt this has been with me for the past years and worked great. And the best knife is the one you have with you and not the one laying in a drawer at home.... Still use Victorinox Outrider with my own fire steel and torch attachment when bush crafting in Norway. Also prefer small knife and a saw in the out doors... Just more weight and labor efficient compared to carrying a big knife. A small Gransfors axe also sometimes comes along just because the big knives do not appeal to me. Have used samekniv (leuku) but a Gransfors axe is far more efficient for building shelters. Cleaning fish (even big ones) is a bit of hassle with a samekniv so you also need a small knife.

I liked that for a challenge between Leatherman and Victorinox you choose to show a glamour slow-mo shot of a Gerber multi tool :D

"For me the challenge is actually being happy in life". GOLD

„That looks like a toddler batoning for the first time“ I’m dying

I own this Swiss tool and I own multiple Leatherman tools. The Surge is the best multi tool on the market

Great review, you guys did things with a multi tool I wouldn't do, but now I know, so thanks. For me the signal is the overall winner, one tool that does all around camp, especially the hammer makes it the winner (it works, but lacks some comfort). For processing wood I use and axe the only role that my signal has in the process is the can opener to hold the wood stable, to keep my fingers away from the business end of my axe.

I'm all about that multitool life. Both of these tools are fantastic, well designed and are built to last. Great video, guys!

Ive had many leathermans and gerbers. I prefer the leatherman surge that i carry. One cool thing with the surge is the saw and file it comes with is the same blade chuck as a jigsaw so the variety of saw blades one could use is a lot. I dont use it for survival but more as an EDC and especially at work as a mechanic..

I have that Victorinox....let's hope it wins!!

nice work guys!

I had my doubts about a multitool competition but this was really good. I enjoyed that.

Great vid! If I could recommend a video idea, I would suggest testing the new toughest benchmade which set a record in closed break strength: the claymore.

Loved this video. I usually carry a ( Leatherman) multitool and a knife ( terava jaakaripuukko, thanks DBK) around the farm and the combination of both are perfect. I used to have the Victorinox multitool 20 years ago but it broke unfortunately and didn't have the guarantee like Leatherman. It seems that Victorinox has caught up with the quality of Leatherman. Thanks DBK for changing a bit from fixed blades, folders and choppers to multitools for once. Keep making videos, my 8 year old son and I enjoy them greatly

Great show guys.👍👍

Excellent subject for this Thursday friends. Looking forward to more of these. I have a MUT, Surge & Wave +…all are better than the Signal. FYI. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏻

Great vid once again

Awesome video boys! In my opinion multitools are great for urban use and as a backup in the woods, just to be prepared. A nice fixed blade often does the job better but a multitool is a bit more allround. As a student, I like it to keep a leatherman rebar in my pack for all kind of situations in which you need a knife/saw/screwdriver. That said, pliers also are often very handy!

Найкращі! Дякую!

Very nice review indeed. I only just realized you use the Dragonball theme for your knife promotion at the end. Very cool 😀

For this task.....just starting a fire the victorinox farmer (alox) is better in my opinion. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, & it is far more comfortable in hand for making feathersticks.

This is the channel with two most honest, unmasked, truly authentic guys whos show I really like. Best and honest kind of entertainment. Okay, one has to share this peculiar interest in knives and fire making. Like you guys! Kind regards from Germany! (just to make this clear: I am 100 % hetero.... ;-)

But why the signal? It's one of LMs worst tools.

F1 Pro is my dream Elmax knife ❤️ Hi from Georgia and keep your great videos!

The wave or surge is a way better pick. Spirit is awesome but the steel is soft.

Had a vicrotinox for many years. I never had any real complaints until I was gifted a surge. The vixtorinox is definitely the more refined product, but the surge is unbeatable if you're looking for a no nonsense hard use multi tool. You would be hard pressed to find anyone anywhere that uses their multi tool harder or more frequently than I do (pipeline contractor that averages around 70 hours at work a week), and there is no way my victorinox would have held up the way my surge has. It's easily the toughest and most diverse multi tool on the market.

Nice video!!

My first multitools were Leatherman, charge and rebar. After I got a spirit x I haven't looked back. I still enjoy my Leathermans but the victorinox has far superior build quality.

The perfect video!! I want a victorinox and have for awhile

7:08 "a nice addition for my collection" - General Grievous

I love my Leatherman wave plus. I use it as a back up knife and tool.

I have a Leatherman FREE P4 and it is fantastic. It has a completely different locking mechanism that the signal. It also has bot ha serrated blade and a non serrated blade. It works great.

It would be nice to have the Leatherman with you. A small sharpener and fire steel is extremely helpful.

I finally got my first mirror polish on an edge, I'm so happy rn.

This was a great idea! 😂

Thank´s for sharing! I own a GERBER Multi Plier and a LEATHERMAN Wave, both over 23 years now. They hold both up very well, but the Wave is for me the better one. And if I would have to buy a new one today, I would look for LEATHERMAN.... Gruß Torsten

Would've liked to seen Leatherman put s30v or s35vn,on all their multitools for better edge retention, I love how sharp the Leatherman charge series have a awesome blade steel,just saying Leatherman if your listening since the surge an st 300 an charge are already kinda of expensive or give the buyer the option when buying to choose when making a purchase.

Im glad you say its preference. There are many models and uses for the task at hand. Crimping and cutting wire. Splicing. Screw driver work. Opening boxes. Dealing with appliances and electrical devices. So many things. Victorinox was advertised in the US as like the boy scout Swiss Army Knife that all kids would want at camping trips. But I have a preference toward my Leatherman wave. It always comes in handy for most useful tasks in a pinch away from the Bushcraft scene. I could even use it for some survival tasks should that ever but hopefully not happen since I been using it for over 20 years. I loved my victorianox as a kid because of just having a toothpick at hand LOL.

Nice video guys. They will work but I like a full tang knife for most. But the saw could be handy

Mikkie hit me in my heart with that saying 8:24

The Victorinox, every day of the week. I own multiple multitools from different brands, but if i need ONE tool to count on i always take the swisstool…

Guys! I was just delivered a Fallkniven F1 Pro in Elmax today! I'm so happy

Proves it can do it if you need it to. These are basically the two best saws on multitools available. Good idea having a firesteel as part of the tool, too.

When I compare the two companies the generalizations I have always come to are - (my opinion from my use in both the forest service industry, ranch work, camping, hunting, hiking, daily EDC) Comparison is between Leatherman Supertool / Rebar/ Micra and Wave vs Swiss Tool and Swiss Spirit Tool Fit and Finish - Hands down Victorinox wins- They are just more comfortable long term use. The Leatherman Rebar and Super tool tends to cause hot spots when the file comes out while applying torque on the pliers. Victorinox is just engineered cleaner and nicer and Leathermans have a tendency to have more than one tool come out while Victorinox for me at least is easier to remove the tools. Warranty - The same, Ive used both warranties and had the same experience. Broke a Swisstool and broke a Wave and got replacements in about 6 weeks without questions asked. Scissors - Hands down Victorinox knocks it out of the park. Leatherman scissors are garbage, its not even close. Pliers- Leatherman takes the win because of how many models have replaceable 154cm cutters (Surge, Wave, Signal, Supertool, Rebar etc) File - Win goes to Victorinox - the file pattern is cleaner and seems to resist marring long term. Saw - The 111-130mm larger Swiss Army Knives are KINGS of the saw, Nice long saws with sharp spines but the Swiss Tool eh.... I think its tie with the saws with the Victorinox Plier based tools and Leathermans Blades - Leatherman wins here just because while I prefer the style of the drop point pen of the Victorinox they use a softer steel and even 420HC is better than Victorinox in my opinion Awl - Leatherman wins slightly in my experience I have bent a Victorinox Awl and have abused and abused my Supertools awl. Screw Drivers / Torque tools - Leatherman wins here just because their bit kit system on their Wave/ Skeletool is nice and their screwdrivers seem to handle torque without warping better ( I stripped the Swisstools phillips head) Leatherman also has better after market extensions, ratchets and a variety of 2 d bits. Kind of wonky though so maybe thats not a pro. Long Term Use - I give the edge slightly to Victorinox only because I have two models that I have used the longest the Leatherman Supertool and the Victorinox Swiss Tool and the use (a few years each as work tools on my work belt - forest service work) The leatherman gets "looser" over time than the Victorinox. I really do not see a significant advantage over each other and I ultimately end up finding myself carrying two tools the Supertool 300 or the Rebar and either a Victorinox Compact or SD Classic because the scissors and the scale tools are nice or I just use the Swisstool haha ... Its good to have options and swap for longevity.

The music is back love the music the fire was exceptional especially with the slow motion but the knife on the tongue let’s not do that anymore you guys rock see you next time

After watching THE BOYS Mickey looks like 'Small evil Dutch Homelander'😂😂😂

Got my Leatherman Wave for abot 5 years and still is doing well.Use it every day at work and home.The only regret is for the leather sheath.Half year in Benin,all the moisture from the sweat gave their.But the tool itself is pretty good.Want to try some Victorinox,but can't afford today's prices.But...who knows?May be sometime,when wife is not around, when some euros remain in the account.... Hopefully.Regards!

I've owned Leatherman and I Switched to swisstools years ago. After selling Leatherman for years at House of knives...I found that I would warranty 1 Leatherman a month..at least...I never once had to Warranty any Swiss tool...plus the swisstool X makes a carpenter square..swisstools for the win ..always

Have and abused both; the Victorinox wins.

My choice has always depended on the occasion. For weddings and festive occasions, a classic leatherman is worn in a leather case and with it a zippo also in a leather case. and for picnics and regular days, something more robust and slightly larger is desirable due to greater usability. So I recommend everyone to buy the most robust model in stainless steel version regardless of the manufacturer unless they have small fists.

Victorinox gang. I bought my Victorinox multitool from a random guy who wanted to sell it to me for 40$. I dunno if he stole it or really wanted some crack money, but I was so broke at a time and only had my last 10$ till payday. I told him that this is a fking good multitool, but I don't have even 20$. He eventually go down to 5$ and I said it him: You know what? You not gonna sell it to me for 5, here is my last 10$ and it's a deal. And leather sheet with L-Wrench and bit set was included! I dunno if he was a devil and I had to trade my soul with that 10$ for a multitool but I love it ever since and it helped me a lot. It's really for a casual outdoor and indoor use. It's great to have a jack of all trade tool, especially in a tricky situation. The only Leatherman model that can compete with Leather is Leatherman Super Tool 300, but still the design is still not there ;) You can access all the tools with Victorinox, but you can't with any Leatherman. You have to unfold it to get access to every tool.

Good video guys, let's keep this style...

Maybe you guys should do more multitool competitions to see who makes the best multitool.

hi! BDK , I'm from the Philippines , great video and comparisons and reviews to the other knives as well .. will you have a chance or time to review the Cold Steel Tek 6.5 .. thanks keep safe.

Nothing beats my BG Gerber, found it 4years ago by the sea when I was fishing I abuse it 3-4times a week still good as new

I've owned, and still own, a bunch of multitools. My favorites are Victorinox because they just have everything and their steel is more stain resistant than Leatherman's. I like the replaceable cutters on the newer Leatherman tools, and I like the way they're moving toward one hand opening in a more efficient way than Victorinox has with their attempt a couple years back, but I still prefer the overall Victorinox toolsets.

either one is great i guess. proven by tens of thousands of users daily,i see no point in arguing which one is better, stick to one you wants most and use it to its limits. i LOVE my Charge, will deff buy Ti version one day. but until then, stock one suits my needs damn well. great VS video btw :)

Oh my ! The multi verse has struck the Dutch Boys. How many hits on the glass pipe equal a KZfaq video ? Remember….be safe boys, there is danger in them thar woods !

Great video, I really wanted to see those go toe to toe. Ps can you please review the glock knife next? 30 dollar value? I wanna know if it will survive your tests

You guys are amazing.Are you two brothers?

I have a leatherman surge. now that's a big beast of a man tool

I have a victorinox spirit, it’s one of the only multi tools that you can add a cork screw attachment to which is great for me 😂

Leatherman Charge TTI should have been chosen. Great warranty. They really stand behind their products.

I've used that exact victorinox as a work tool for over 2 years now and it's a solid tool and has a decent knife

You guys are amazing, you Should try the victorinox hunter pro, Greetings from México

Leatherman for life!! I think your test was valid for the usual bushcraft purposes on your channel, however, I think the multitool shines when you are using the pliers. Leatherman pliers are rad! and the bit set that you can get is SO dang handy for any urban EDC scenario. I use my leatherman regularly in my home and on the go - but in the field I use a fixed blade, and the leatherman I really just use the pliers to get things off the fire and the little saw for projects. Now the signal doesn't have scissors, which is so lame because scissors is also a huge reason to carry the leatherman! Any way I could babble on about leathermans for a long time. fun video guys, thanks! that being said I'd pick a multitool over a fixed blade for a 1 tool only scenario... but that would make me sad I like BOTH! :D

No offense BUT , one idea of having only one tool is to use that tool to create other tools . Either of those multi-tools could have made a hardwood wedge which (with a baton) would have split wood all day without damaging the multi-tool . 😊

Nice to see a multitool here. Maybe you can try victorinox with 11/13 cm locking blades. They can take a beating. I've see one with a broken blade before its mechanism broke.

Just as I’m looking into which multitool to get. Perfect timing 👍

the back of the wood saw is an awesome scrapper,,,

Top video

i alvays give all my money for Martin if its about fire making :D i Letterman fan boy, so chce my faworite but all respect to Victor. Ps. That was my idea for episode! TY guys!

I´m from germany and i would ALWAYS choose the Victorinox♥ !

Thank you.

Would love to se a video on the ratnik 6e6 multi tool if you can get ahold of one

0:27 LOL Me when I get a new knife

I know about a dozen outdoorsman that carry Leatherman. None carry the signal. Charge, Wave, Surge, Rebar.

My leatherman has been my multi tool of choice for a year and a half now after a Gerber multitool crapped out on me after about 4 weeks of use, it’s been through some seriously shitty environments and hasn’t failed me yet. My very first “knife” was a big Victorinox multitool my dad gave me. I’d take a leatherman any day of the week.

Leatherman Surge since 7 Years, love it and it still slays

Awesome. I wanted to get your guy's opinion on the victorinox because I was debating on getting one but feel that they use a softer steel and has less tools than a Leatherman in terms of accessories like adapters.

If you just want something to toss in the car in case of bush craft survival needs you can assemble a way better kit for the price. You can get a decent axe for under $50 (like the Cold Steel Trail Boss), a good folding tree saw for $25 (Samurai Kisi), and a great full tang bushcrafting knife with firesteel and leather sheath for $40 (BSP Adventurer, approved by DBK). You still have budget left over for whatever else you prefer for a car emergency kit like a decent flashlight. Can't really justify the price on these multitools.

really like the idear of the ferro rod and sharpener on the leatherman, but i need the tool combo of non serrated blade, plier, saw, file and scissors on a multitool. so i am in favor for the vic

I love victorinox. I have a few models. Really love my workchamp these days. Leatherman, specifically the surge is kind of ALL multitools. If they ever make a premium version, it will kill all others when it comes to usability.

All multitools are pretty yuck for doing extended work with, but when you can't take the tool box they sure can get you out of a jam. On a boat I'd have a Victorinox, otherwise I have the Leatherman Charge TTi on my belt. Both are heavy, why a SAK Huntsman is better in the pocket. A good folder are better as a knife. Like all these things its all about what you need to do and how far you are going from a tool box/work shed. What is the least you need to carry and can still get the job comfortably done? A quality multi tool adds to the armoury of man cave essentials. My daughter has one too.
