This was the first knife of any kind I bought myself when I was about 22/23. I went into a knife store in the mall. I didn’t have a lot of money and knew nothing about knife brands. It was the brand I recognized and the Tinker was the one they had that was super affordable. Probably $15-$20 and this was around 2000 or so. At the time I didn’t look at them as serious tools not having KZbin or anyone I knew that was informed about knives. Anyway through KZbin I’ve come to appreciate them again and have several models. There’s something about the Tinker that makes it my favorite. Just got one in black.

[@Andy-M.1833]

The Tinker is my favorite SAK. Never leave my house without my Tinker. It has the perfect size und the perfect tools on it. Carry my Tinker since many years

[@The_OG_MP]

I have a super tinker and I never leave home without it. My 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter both have swiss army knives too. Amazing knives for kids to learn about how to be safe with knives. Great video as always.

[@briansamonas3805]

I was literally thinking how I believe that a Tinker was my first “real” knife too when you said it. I wish I still had mine, that knife went everywhere with me. All my pockets in jeans had wear marks from it. That was a great knife. Now I can buy one for my son. Thanks

[@RikthDcruze]

Been carrying this for 5 months now... The only thing I ever need. That's the only knife I have on me. And it has served me very well.

[@roberttayrien6462]

I have carried a Swiss Army knife for over 40 years. My version is similar, but also has scissors which I have found invaluable. I am a retired IBEW Journeyman Inside Wireman so mine has been USED a lot, and held up extremely well. I used to have them engraved and gave them to girlfriends as gifts. I have also given them to my daughters. It's amazing how much women/ girls appreciate and then use pocket (or purse?) knives. Great choice of a knife to highlight!

[@groundhog5923]

The Tinker is the smallest SAK that has a Philips head (except for the Tinker Small). I use mine almost every day at work. I carry that and a Gerber Dime I got for $8 so I no longer have to fill my pockets with other tools. Less bulky than a full size multi tool. It is perfectly named as well. If you know of a 'fix it' type person they will absolutely love this as a gift.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

Way to go, Gideon! I've been carrying a succession of 81 mm SAK's, usually Tinkers, every day for around 40 years. I have no idea how many I've given to people. Each of my groomsmen got one. My hunting guide in South Africa got one. I sent a Tinker and a Classic to two dear friends. She kept the Tinker; he got the Classic. Smart girl. Thanks for paying due respect for the best EDC tool ever made.

[@CristianoNogueiraBushcraft]

I have precisely the same opinion: Every human being should have at least a Victorinox Spartan (or Tinker)on themselves. Nothing beats a SAK on everyday uses.

[@RikthDcruze]

Well said... I agree

[@rustyknifelover4463]

I have gotten back into the SAK Camper myself. Added Plus scales and love it. Felix Immler has a fantastic series for SAK tips and tricks.

[@chriscon8463]

I love the Tinker! I prefer the Tinker “Small”; it takes up even less space in my pocket.

[@annsolce572]

I've carried the Tinker since High School. And now the Super Tinker which includes scissors. I love them both:)

[@Mystninja]

Tinker the sak of mighty Angus at MacGyver's. I'm craftin it

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

Have the tinker,Spartan, super tinker, dulux tinker, huntsman, climber, angler, SD CLASSIC, champ, handyman there all great I carry the tinker at work.

[@bryanstone654]

You should pair it with a Knipex Cobra pliers. Better than a Leatherman.

[@mikeyyates5377]

A swiss army knife was my first knife as well! I never did cut myself with it because I had already learned my lesson with one of my dads old Barlows. Still carry a super tinker ever single day! I'm def gonna use the link and get one for my friend who I am slowly turning into a knife person. 22$ for a tinker is awesome.

[@jock-of-ages73]

Felix Immler has a great channel about the other things that you can do with SAK tools, y'all should check it out, especially if you live in a country where the only type of knife you can legally carry is something like a SAK. Even if you don't, it's entertaining enough to just enjoy watching.

[@Kobalta]

+ "Nikos Doulas NikGyver" have some good too

[@dennishenderson4226]

Been EDC’ing a Tinker for a couple of decades…before EDC was cool.

[@stevesutliff1004]

beyond a good gift, have carried one for almost twenty years daily, always my second knife. you won't be disappointed

[@bryanstone654]

I've carried a Super Tinker since 1986. Pair it with the Knipex Cobra XS 4 inch pliers. Both fit in 5th pocket with room for a Fisher Bullet pen. Nice video.

[@arod1784]

Yes, those Knipex pair well with SAK's.

[@arod1784]

My first SAK was a hand me down Tinker. Definitely a capable gateway multi-tool or EDC. Most Victorinox tools are the best bang for the buck. My current every day carry Swiss Army tool is the Huntsman upgraded with a straight pin in the secret slot and the grey glasses screw driver along with a lanyard on the keyring (simple and highly recommended for pocket carry). I Love the Swiss Army Tools!

[@frits1954X2]

for better grip Victorinox Pioneer Alox. And to avoid having to search for your pocket knife 1 Paracord Lanyard that you can hang from your pocket or a loose pocket clip I always carry a Victorinox Pioneer Alox with me with a 4mm Paracord Lanyard Best regards Frits

[@geraldswive9074]

Very good review man!! Try the huntsman it's really cool you have the scissors and small wood saw added and not much difference in size and weight

[@duggrim3946]

Love the video brother and can't agree more. I personally Carrie the Evo grip 18 which comes in a locking or non locking version. For added functionality I swap out the toothpick for a firefly Ferro rod from tortoise gear. This way it turns my favourite EDC pocket knife into an EWC or everywhere carry.

[@lrrp692]

Never leave home without my tinker.would feel lost with out it.

[@cassanoa]

all their knives really are excellent

[@wizardofahhhs759]

I have my very first Tinker from 1994, ( got it for Christmas) since then I've graduated from that to the Super Tinker and then on to the DeLuxe Tinker.

[@matthewsbernier]

I use a file to sharpen all the drivers. Taking that polish off makes them grip like angry cats instead of stripping out.

[@artfisher1615]

Pulled the Tinker out of the box a few months ago and have been carrying lately. Use the toothpick more than anything else. For more grip, you can get Alox scales. However, believe you lose toothpick and tweezers.

[@Broxgard]

I have the Outrider and i love it. Its a bit bigger than the tinker and mine is the old model with the sidelock and its just a great multitool .. if you havent given it a try, you should for sure :-) Thanks for some amazing reviews!

[@hendrikgarnkaufer6938]

Super Tinker is preferable. Why not to have those extremely excellent scissors is beyond me.

[@TheLapierre]

Love the Tinker, I have a modified Super Tinker as a EDC, changed the scales so that I can put a small pen and a pin (same as on the swisschamp) in as well :)

[@roy.v.476]

Have the compact. Best for EDC. Great video

[@rsafree1139]

I think you are overselling it when you say you’re just giving up pliers over a wave+. What about wire cutters, needle nose capabilities, wire crimpers, a saw, file, scissors, bit exchanger, eyeglass screwdriver. Yea, if you want to spend $20 on a gift for someone this probably fits the bill, but it’s not even comparable in terms of usefulness in an edc tool as a wave or equivalent

[@marccunningham3302]

Check out the sportsman i really like the tool set. Its basically a cadet with awl, cork screw, tooth pic and tweezers. Also its 84 mm so a bit smaller in size.

[@romanvazhenkov824]

I've got several of these in the family. But the ones with a cork screw. It's not always "survival", you know. A bottle of good wine in the woods is a kind of luxury we can afford from time to time (taking the garbage back of course). And I also think cork screw is more versatile than a philips driver.

[@ericwhitlow7364]

Another great video. I have two of these knives. The one my dad gave me 30 years ago is in a lock box and will go to my son. I received another one as a gift from a local business. IIRC the older model is a little different. The flat blade screwdriver bottle opener does not lock at ninety degrees on my old one.

[@Adventurer-Rikth]

This is my EDC ... i carry nothing more

[@aldoniosilva]

Glad to see a "down to earth" review, congrats!

[@PreparedWolf34]

SMKW.COM has the Tinker with Bigfoot art on it 😊 Yes, plan to buy one. Love the new designs on SAK’s.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

I've carried a succession of Tinkers and Super Tinkers for over 40 years. They have saved my bacon more times than I can remember. They're damn near unbreakable and never, ever rust.

[@mwedmonds]

No joke i had this idea for family members, I’ll have to use your link to give some love!

[@skovbo65]

I have had a ring on a pop lid fail so I was very grateful for my Huntsman. The ring popped off the lid without even cracking the lid.

[@shellycarr6236]

Love this video! Was trying to figure out at what age to get my kids the even smaller one with the scissors? I just bought four through the link. Hopefully that helps out the channel! Please continue to review More Swiss Army products, very excited! Thank you Aaron God bless! 💙🦃🍁

[@meerkat6238]

It depends on if you think they’ll be playing with the knives and possibly get hurt. I wouldnt give it to ANY kid under 13, you should probably give it to them when they are 15

[@All_Will_Be_Crab]

My Grandpa gave me a tinker when I was 9 or 10, and I think that is a good time to introduce kids to knives if you think they are trustworthy enough.

[@norby0418]

I’ve actually never had a SAK of any model fall out of my pocket. That said I hate Cellidor so I switch out the scales to Nylon or G-10. Two layers just ride in my pocket while 3-4 layers usually ride in a sheath (SAK or homemade) and sometimes I use a Tec pocket clip.

[@lukeskywalker1840]

I lost mine today. I think I left it at work. If I don't find it on Monday, I'm going to order another. I have a lot of knives. But this is the best one to carry everyday

[@thomasmaloney843]

If you want more grip, look at the evo grip series. The higher end evo grips can be had with a locking blade. I have the small tinker and the evo grip series. I prefer the evo series.

[@Tyler-sl6vg]

I'm giving all my family classic sd's for stocking stuffers. Tinker good but probably not as universally appealing. I still have my original Tinker from ~1995. Bought new SAKs for regular use to make sure I don't loose the old one.

[@beargreasebrigade]

these are great, however somehow the attachment ring has always broken within a year or less

[@MrRebus777]

2 layers the best for everyday carry. All the tools you need. I carry mine every day. Have had mine taken a couple of times at concerts or lost during everyday use. When will I learn? I just get on Ebay and replace with a used one for $10.00.

[@mikeboone4425]

Agree on your gift, but years ago I started giving lock backs only . Happy trails

[@ryedc8674]

Tinker is a no nonsense SAK, simple and efficient

[@brianflanagan8764]

I got a green one with a Shamrock on it Awesome it goes where I go

[@davidcarson7855]

there aren't many daily tasks that can't be handled with a Tinker and an Opinel no8,9 or 10

[@davidcarson7855]

definitely a good choice for EDC and even better when matched with an Opinel 8 or 10

[@davidcarson7855]

there aren't many tasks that can't be handled with a Tinker and an Opinel

[@Crosswalker.]

My Victorinox Present i alwas give away is the Huntsman, has everything you need on board, knife, saw, scissors, perfect 😊👍 My city EDC is the Thinker Deluxe btw 😎

[@CitadelDefense1]

I’m just trying to discern what kind of squat rack that is back there. Looks quality.

[@mr.breeze9473]

Love my SAK Tinker 🔪

[@new2survival]

But love your vids. Happy holidays big man.

[@jkukurugya]

Swiss Army Climber is my work EDC. I work in education & between opening mail to boxes, a SAK doesn't raise any eyebrows.

[@Tony42Rivers]

Literally had this realization today for gifts this year and then I saw the notification for this video 🤯

[@matthewjones6010]

I honestly believe that SAKs are the most useful knives that the average person can carry.

[@morganillsley94]

100% of the people I have given a Swiss army knife still have them! :)

[@MokuNui808]

Victorinox EvoGrip11! Upgraded version of this

[@johnwest4492]

I herd Alox scales are cool I have minimalist Victorinox a bought at The Kilnife Center with some cool Alox scales that I carry as a back up blade

[@cassanoa]

Alox scales are great - very tough but no tooth pick or tweezers and they are not removable

[@johnwest4492]

Oh didn't know that thanks.:))

[@chadharner800]

Agree 100%

[@jamesadowney]

Tinker Small (84mm) bro. more pocket friendly.

[@johnwest4492]

Hey Aaron, what kind of portable sharpening system would you recommend for your little travel pack or as an accessory with say a Victorinox?

[@selvetarmiel]

I'm not Aaron, but I carry a DMT fine grit sharpening card in my wallet. www.amazon.com/DMT-D3F-3-Inch-Dia-Sharp-Sharpener/dp/B0001WP1J2/ref=sr_1_54?crid=2J9CWLFFD2GFX&keywords=dmt+diamond+sharpening+stone&qid=1575034962&sprefix=dmt%2Caps%2C282&sr=8-54

[@randallkelley3599]

Nah man, the Cadet + or plus 2....I have collected them for years, got most all variants/colors.... Carry one daily.

[@user-hk9du6px9x]

You don't know women!

[@timdahl8912]

I'm pretty sure that my first to second knife was a Swiss Army knife.

[@davidsiegel9847]

Pocket knife--not multitool. Multitools are pliers-based. Been collecting Victorinox for 50 years, and multitools for 22 years. A multitool was an all-purpose powertool in the old days! Victorinox makes pocket knives, and, multitools. Pliers-based, versus knife-based. In my generation we never fussed about locks or clips. Victorinox already sells wood scaled versions. And many locking blade models. Several backlocks. Liner locks are replacing all the old 111mm slide locks. Many models at 111mm and 130mm. In truth, old fashioned Victorinox knives will cover most daily needs. With a prayer and a Swiss Army knife, you can stop the armies of Gog & Magog in the Valley of Judgement, as my generation would say.

My first SAK was a Tinker. Grandpa gave it to me on my 5th birthday. Shockingly I still have it to this day. If you want to check out a sweet SAK go to Victorinox's web site and check out the Swiss Army 7 www.swissarmy.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/Swiss-Army-7/p/0.8150.26?mt_load=lt30

[@kronan77]

Отличный нож, для меня меня в нём не хватает пилы.Так что я использую Huntsman

[@cassanoa]

i would suggest the Swiss mechanic instead - everything the tinker has plus a small but excellent pliers

[@mikeyyates5377]

I've been considering getting one of the models with pliers to avoid carrying a SAK and SOG micro as well as a 3-4'' folding knife. The SOG micro would be wonderful but It has this awful quirk where the pliers deploy inside my pocket. Do the pliers function well for most things? I worry that they would be too small and the knife would end up being too fat.

[@cassanoa]

@@mikeyyates5377 these knives are of the best materials so the little pliers are very presice and well mad - they are about 1/8 of an inch wide - they are also small wire cutters - on the inside of the jaw you will notice a small cutting teeth kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqG4anxoe52BsMU - i love these things kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrXi3t5m9iCg80 you will be surprised how many times you will use these things - from pulling out a thorn to crimping a electrical connector ( in the back behind the jaw ) - holding a nail or screw before you hammer it - just like steel fingers - they are delicate but strong ( within limitations ) - the wire cutter works great but only for soft wire that fit - i use the whole knife as the handle and squeeze the handle like a trigger for pulling what ever fits - like fish hooks - the tip is so fine - you can grip one sheet of paper

[@Surago]

My nails are kind of weak, I own a hiker. Anyone have recommendations on how to use the nail nicks more effectively?
