The light is really great when reading a menu in a darkened restaurant.

Eine der besten Erklärungen zu diesen Produkten Grüße aus Deutschland

A well made presentation. Your points are valid. I just prefer other SAKs that are in my pocket or in reach and I have a Fresnel lens in my wallet. When I carry a SD classic (alox) it goes on a dog tag chain attached with a small carabiner. The problem with starting a fire with the magnifying glass of the card is clear. It is too small for that and wont collect enough light. Not your fault. It could serve for better view when removing splinters. I contemplated buying a swiss card and eventually decided against it as it does not add enough value to my setup. I wish you much fun with yours though.

I have a SwissCard Quatro, it has been living in my wallets since 2001. It has always passed through airport security, because sometimes i forget that it is there. Now i bought a pair of spare SwissCard scissors to keep it company.

Even though it looks really amateur for you to start and end you video dodging your mic and squeezing around your table, the music makes it seem intentional, and somehow professional in a comical way. Nicely done, and best wishes when you decide to kick the habbit

I really like your video, interesting options and well described. I am going to check out the parker jotter. Thanks. Subbed

As much as you say you need a toothpick, you should check out some more durable, "fancy" ones, and then carry a tweezer in your victorinox. Just a thought...

For your tech loadout, Why didn't you put your external drive in the outer pocket?

I love the gen 4 rovyvon a8 with its bigger button and for its versatility. I use the uv light to discover scorpions and charge my glow-in-the-dark stuff. The only downside is that it is too small and light. I am always afraid to lose it. I keep it attached to my 58mm victorinox manager. They pair up perfectly, complementing each other in usefulness. The added weight and lenght of the victorinox make me much more confident holding the light, and the clip on the light keeps the knife from slipping out of my pocket and getting lost. A winning combination for me.

I love my manager, which has a pen and tweezers. I like to carry a rovyvon a8 attached to it which gives it the ability to hang vertically from the corner of my pocket by the clip. I am always tempted by the swiss card lite and you have a compelling case, but I just love the form factor of the manager with its ergonomics. I would definitely consider carrying the swisscard for flying. Thanks for the video, a great start!

Thanks for this video. I'll take a better look at these cards thanks to you. I had a Classic… but it was confiscated at the airport in Egypt… because it's a very dangerous weapon! 😱 So another benefit of the card is that you can remove the blade. I took it mainly for the scissors. Now, brutally honest feedback about your video 😉 First, what you say (topics, order, arguments), the way you say it and the general quality of the video are great. So these are just minor details for small improvements… and it's only my thoughts, I'm not pretending to know better. OK, you're sharing your point of view, based on your experience. When doing such videos, I think it's better to try to be generic. Share/start with your experience but then generalizing. For example: “it's more practical because you don't have your keys on the card” or “you've your wallet always with you”. It's actually the complete opposite for me. I don't have anything attached to the knife and I've never my minimalist wallet on me (never, always in my backpack or jacket). The knife can remain in your jeans pocket all the time (to be honest, I keep it in my backpack too 😂). And about the magnifying glass. I don't care whether you use it or not, I only care about is it a good one and practical to use? Great that you said you didn't manage to make fire with it, pointing out that you don't really know how to do it properly.

Thanks for you thoughts on this light. Just like you, I had the microUSB A8 break on me, sadly it was outside of warranty window. Will definitely pick a new one up eventually. One thing I have to disagree is the UI, I really dislike Rovyvon UIs. But the size and power are unbeatable. Keep up the good work! Enjoying your channel and your thoughts.

Nice video, I never took the swiss card very seriously in the past, but you got me thinking. I only carry a minimalist wallet only big enough for a couple credit cards and my ID. The swiss card would not fit. I personally carry the Rambler daily and have thought about upgrading to the midnight manager. I think the midnight manager is the real comparison not the SD classic. Price being almost the same between the MM and the SC. It comes down to form factor and a "regular" small SAK with a pocket clip would work much better.

Just discovered your channel and loving your content so far. This light is fantastic! I'll have to give it a closer look 👍

Great review; I love that you did this from a tech and EDC perspective. Just subscribed, great channel tagline in "well designed, useful objects"!

I’ve watched quite a few videos like this and this is another that confirms more of a clamshell opening is my preference. I’ve been using a clamshell style pouch from Maxpedition for quite a few years and it’s been very beneficial for me.

It's fun to find someone who carries some of the same things I do! First things first, love love love the Victorinox Swiss Card Lite, Roxon KS2 Elite, Rovyvon A8 and Fisher Space Pen! I have a tool kit at home, tools in my car primarily designed for emergencies, an EDC tool pouch in my Messenger and then my pockets carry. For pockets carry, I first try to limit it to things I may need at a moment's notice. Take pliers for example. I have pliers at home, in my car and in my Messenger bag. I never need pliers so quickly that I don't have time to retrieve one of those. So I don't carry pliers on my person. Second, I try to limit pockets carry to things I need relatively frequently. Something that I would travel 5 minutes back home to get if I forgot it. Here is my pockets carry priority list. 1) Flashlight. If you can't see, nothing else matters (Rovyvon A8). 2) Charging cable (LeverGear on my keychain) 3) one handed folder with locking blade clipped for quick access (Civivi Sendy - includes toothpick and tweezers 4) pen and paper (A7 in my wallet with Zebra F301 Compact), 5) scissors and screwdriver (I built a custom Victorinox Companion adding a Cybertool layer. Sometimes I just carry the Westcott titanium sewing scissors with a ratchet and Steinwhale bits in a dyneema pouch) 6) Chapstick (for lips and emergency fire starting), 7) small meds container on my keychain, 8) Trouble Kit (I have a bigger 5x3.5" one with 30+ items and a smaller mini-Altoids tin with 12 items or so), 9) basic titanium pry bar with bottle opener and hex drive, and 10) refillable butane lighter. Normally, I always have 1-7 on me plus the smaller trouble kit. The rest if I have room.

Have an all metal Parker from 60+ years ago. Metal is thicker than current ones. Think they were called T-Ball Jotter back then. If I could only have 1 pen think it would have to be my metal Jotter. Believe there is a Fisher refill for the Jotter is one needed wet, grease writing.

I like these SwissCards. In a pinch can use the magnifier if forgotten reading glasses. Only thing don’t care about the Lite is the missing nail file but there is usually one more thing we’d like. The NailCare version is good for travelers & the scissors can often fill in for the missing knife by opening wide. Nice review.

This size is perfect for me, thank you for both samples.

Subscribed. Hope to see many more videos on your channel.

Nice video man I might buy this to add to my hub pouch! Keep it up man❤

That Seinxon Tracker is AWESOME ! I've never seen that before ! Have you checked out Addiesdive, Tandario and Pagani Design watches ? They're fantastic value ($50 - $100 and rival the $2 - 300 Seiko range for quality 👍 Please mention pricing and thank you for the helpful links 🙏

Why is your audio so much better in the Swiss card video ?? If you need a lapel mic, use any old Android phone (even 10+ yrs with a headphone jack), a $10 Boya lapel mic and the free ASR Voice Recorder by NLL Apps 👍 Even sitting the phone upside down in your breast pocket can work to record if you limit your movement. There's also great free clapperboard, color balance and focus apps.

I love these little cards, BUT only at a discount price. I buy secondhand or clones. There's one difficulty though, if the phillips screw is even slightly recessed it sometimes can't reach. That's why I also carry a Swiss Tech Utili-Key 😉👍

I am a great fan of Alpaka products. Whenever I need a new bag or pouch I start with them to see if they have something to fit my need. Usually they do and to date I have never had anything fail from them.

Illegal to carry in the UK as it has a concealed blade

I just got my swiss card last month. It not the lite, it's the classic, and I goes in my wallet with the Rite in the Rain On the Go Wallet Notebook. For me sometimes I just want my wallet and not a bunch stuff filling my pockets. The swill card was the answer to that.

If I had to choose only one, it’s the Swisschamp. I always go back to it when I try edcing a different one. My SwissBrick is almost always with me. You’ve got a nice collection. Great video!

Great video and a new sub here 🎉. I also love 'cheap' watches and have two CasiOaks. My wrist is too big (7.5") for an f-91w sadly, although I've seen that Casio have just released some new f-91w colours and they look well smart 🤓.

I completely disagreed with your premise, and comparison. Great video. Subbed.

The Signature lite is really cool, I bought seven of them! I’m turning them into Fireflies. My favorite Victorinox is easily the Spirit MX.

The manager is my favorite 58 mm and the field master is my favorite 84 mm. I also carry the swisscard lite everyday in my wallet and forget it is there it goes through security for many places. My wife uses her swisscard lite all the time.

Awesome EDC

if the zipper went around the edges and allow it to open up more, that would make this pouch an instant hit. giving this a miss bc of the zipper

the zipper taking up so much space that it limits what can be put inside as well as making it difficult to get cards in and out is such a miss. I would have jumped on it if I could fit my a7 notebook in it

I love these SKA nerd sharing videos. Everyone is different. Great to see the 580 get some love, for once. I keep one on my car keys for my kids (and myself, because I have kids and it's hard to take care of yourself when you have kids). I also keep a Mini Champ and Deluxe Tinker around my urban areas and a Ranger in my garage for the backyard and woodland areas.

I’ve got the green variant, and usually pack cables in the front zippered pocket. The “regular” Elements Tech Case (not Max) may work better for your needs. Great video! Enjoying your channel!

I bought a Victorinox Ranger when I was in Zürich last year. It's been a useful tool to have around. You're damn right about the scissors, by the way. You expect them to suck based on size alone, but they just don't! The metal file also files metal quite well. The blades are kinda soft. They don't keep an edge for too long. But they're also quick to touch up.

Looks like the perfect size fir me. Thanks for showing it

I have 2 pens. My fountain pen is a black Diamond 580 ALR, and it's mated with a Uniball Power Tank and a Lami Safari pencil. I've found that's all I need.

Good video

Thanks, I didn’t even know a Swiss Card existed. I think it would be useful in my purse 🙂.

I have the Swiss Champ and it is almost always with me but I bought a Swiss Card for my wife. The Swiss Cards are fantastic tools

Awesome video Sir! Great EDC. Thank you for sharing.

A pocket knife is so useful.

Great to see your sub count go up slowly but steadily! I’ll watch the video later but I’m sure it’ll be great!❤ Edit: oh wait this an old vid it got displayed weirdly I think I watched it already

An EDC pen review without the ridiculously overpriced Big Idea design pens. I love it for that alone. I basically have the same three pen set-up in ballpoint and fountain. An office pen with the Pilot Metropolitan and Retro Tornado, an all around pen with the Lamy Al-Star and the Rotring 600, and a pocket pen with the Kaweco Sport and Space Pen bullet.

Good video. Ty
