No the prices are crazy

They are pricey. But the Grey Reactor has been worth it as I camp in extreme temps. I haven’t found that that orange bivvy to outperform either liner.

The orange one😮😮😮😮

Believe me if i say you don't want any file Nextool makes. They go from being a metal ornament to slightly usable. Some say there are Nextool multitiools with functional files out there, but i have not seen one so far.

I have the red one

USGI woodland camo poncho is hard to beat.

how would the warmth compare to the 1000 plasma?

This looks fantastic. What is the discoloration on one side of the 'pot' from?

Great knives for me. I have been carrying one of these GAKs for twenty years, and a Mauser version since the 80s. In all of those years I have never seen one with pliers!! Thank you for posting this!

Currently, the Waiter is my favorite. I added Plus scales (started by DIY the originals but swaped for 3D printed 3rd party scales) and it's just perfect for pocket carry.

That tool should be worth at 300 bucks but i bought one i pay 130.00 very nice sets

To any military guys watching. Just remember when your in battle and your sent on fire, these man-made fibers will melt in to your skin and make medical treatments very very difficult!!! Be warned

to short

I use combo tools from a waiter the downside is the combo tool sets a little low and you have to drill the pivot.

I miss these type of reviews. Now we have high school teachers, millenials, youtubers, rappers, "gorpcores", Djs, doing reviews of Arc'teryx gear. Arcteryx used to be a good low-key brand!

Hola mi amogo que tan dificil es conseguir una yeoman en USA

I have that same Gerber Dime and the file is absolutely worthless. Maybe it's better on the non-coated ones, I dunno. But to pretend that's a usable file is strange. I felt deceived by Gerber when I got it and the file was worthless.

Pretty sweet

Try $120-$145

did you get that from the seller in Las Vegas who sells SAK's all over the web ?

BTW the Alox Voyageur's aren't really rare. The cellidor versions are really rare and don't bring big money because they have not been hyped. i could name a bunch of other models as well that are super rare but have not been over hyped ,so they don't bring big money.

I saw it on ebay and still passed because of the shape of the knife and what it sold for. With that condition I would not have paid over $75 for it and that is why I didn't bid on it. I got a unused mint early 80's Cadet for $100 recently. Probably going to sell it. I don't like 84mm Alox knives and are not in the league of pre mid 80's 93mm Alox stuff. That one you have is between 79 and 83 time period. I have tried to like 84mm Alox stuff but it's just not what 93mm stuff is. 93mm stuff is so much more heavy duty and thicker better blade stock. All of my Alox is from the 60's. Soldier's and Electrician. The Voyageur has been so over hyped and it's a mediocre knife. Kind of like how Yeoman's have been over hyped and are nothing special. 60's silver Alox soldier's are probably the best bang for the buck for older SAK's and they are obtainable and not over hyped and heavy duty. I wouldn't mind having an old pre mid 80's Rancher but i don't like red and they never made them in silver in the old cross era

Also: does anyone know if there are anyway to tell if a Scientist or a Yeloman are originals or customs??

Great video. The Yeoman gets a lot of praise for having pretty much all the tools of the Explorer, due mostly to the Combo tool. But the absence of the reamer/awl is always overlooked. There’s a blank backside layer on the Yeoman which I think could have housed the Awl. Too bad….

Many thanks for showing us this great knife. Years ago, I wrote to Victorinox asking them to produce this knife again. No answer received. Victorinox has no more innovations. They can only change the colors of the Alox annual knives.

Can the scissors from the golfer be installed in the bantam? Without modding with the 91mm scissors?

Re your complaint: You can unlock a tool by partially lifting out another tool on the same side. You do not have to open to open the tool to unlock a tool.

I don’t quite get the parts for the stove

Wow! On the down bag prices.. wholly smokes.. the '49 down bag I found was $10.. its heavy but shit for $10 I can leave it if I get tired of carrying it..

Damn on the money!! I bought two around 2011 for like $69 ea. Like new. Theyre awesome! All you really need in a pinch. Now Im not gonna lie, as Ive gotten older, I found a '49 down bag that I run in the gortex bivy, its a great set up for an old man in a hammock nowadays.

How deep is the bit holder? Will it fit double sided bits like the Wiha technician set? Thanks

Love the Yeoman style. Mine was also restored but by another seller. Translucent red plus scales, scissor with the pivot screw, and nail file on the back of the hook

I have the US army olive green poncho, I use it for bike packing in the UK. Picked it up for $40 in 2002.

I carried the Climber for years. Never could bring myself to pay nearly double for the compact. I recently decided I wanted to slim things down a little I put a rambler in my wallet. Started with an SD but I really like the rambler. I’m bouncing around a bit in what knife I want to carry but I know it’s going to be 84mm. I have really enjoyed carrying them. Bouncing back and forth between a Bantam Alox and a recruit. I really like that combo tool better than I thought I would but the Bantam Alox is a little too thin so I end up carrying the Recruit more. Currently waiting on a regular Bantam in the mail. Will probably end up buying a waiter too 😂.

I bought a used one for $68 today and I canceled the order when I found out it wasn’t usgi.

Yeah the entire system is heavy, however its tough AF. You can compress that whole thing down to the size of a basketball, using the compression straps on the bag. They're not to be fluffy and light, they're meant to keep your ass from freezing to death. Condition your body to be able to carry a heavier load.

I’ll stick with the military poncho

I firmly believe the Leatherman Squirt PS4 stands out as the ultimate pocket mini multitool ever crafted. Unfortunately, I lost mine a month after it was discontinued, which felt like a real tragedy. I've since switched to the Gerber Dime for my everyday carry multitool. It's decent enough, but it doesn't quite match up to the Squirt. One unique feature I really miss and can't seem to find elsewhere is the Squirt's excellent combination of a metal file and saw.

I like your idea of sizing up and using it as a belay on top of your active insulation. Very efficient 👌 nice review

One of the best SUL base weight videos I've seen. So many of use can't afford the high price point of most SUL equipment.

I found two mint condition Watch Case openers from ~1975. They are super slim.

I watched 40 videos does none of opened the rest of the tools 😢only the knife ..

Aren’t they a bit pricey for saks? I did modify some saks for myself and it doesn’t have to do with labor costs because they’re easy to modify. It’s the donor knives/parts that cost the most. Frankly I don’t feel it’s worth the cost for a mediocre steel edc knife that doesn’t even lock and also there are other options out there that cover the same toolset. I think it’s people’s obsession to retired models or the hype that some youtubers push on specific models.

Such a shame they discontinued them.

I will never buy another SAK without a scissors. I deal with paper, folks.

a completely useless review
