Are SWIZA pocket knives really better than VICTORINOX Swiss Army Knives? A comparison without taboos

[@John-oz1do]

VICTORINOX should name a knife after you, the ‘ “viictorinox felix, “ since you have shown them more ways to use and test their knives than they thought possible.

A good, comprehensive comparison, Felix. I'd never heard of Swiza knives before and was tempted to invest in one, but looked at your review and decided not to invest because of the clear differences you showed up. Thank you for all your hard (very hot) work. Victorinox all the way for me.

Nothing's gonna change my loyalty to Victorinox. I've been using it since I was 19 yrs old...I'm 49 now.

[@blinkenschnaag777]

Yes. Victorinox all the way 👍

[@TheCommandantBob]

Wenger was also great. But I have been using Victorinox for 40+ yrs too!!!

[@kylethedalek]

They are all great, Victorinox is sometimes too old fashioned and needs some updating. Wenger use to be more innovative. And I think Some Wenger staff moved to Swiza after Wenger was “bought” over. Victorinox and Wenger were both sister companies, so the people at the top got the money regardless of where you bought from. (Plus they both used the same steels and machinery. For that matter I’m not sure if Swiza uses the same steel and similar machines for assembling.) And you can see the innovation with the Swiza line. The one hand opening with the 3” blade is a massive market Victorinox is missing out on. So many people modify their Victorinox’s to make them one handed (like one of Felix’s mods.) Or swap the blades out for a Spyderco blade, they are that common they get called “Spydernox’s”. Also Swiza are more comfortable with the rubber scales, and curved handle. Much like like the Boker Tech Tools. Though the position of the lanyard loop apparently digs into the hand. And the Swiza models have both locking and non locking versions, and with the locking versions the unlocking button/ switch is under the swiss cross. Very lovely indeed. No hate to Victorinox they still are one of the best, and the original.

[@handyharvey]

@@kylethedalek you're right. I guess Victorinox need to do some uprgrades to keep up with the competiton.

[@kylethedalek]

@@handyharvey They are still the original and the best for most people. But for myself the only thing that lets them down is not having a one handed opening main blade in the 3 inch or less range. It’s so handy! The Boker tech tool range is nice, it’s modern twist on a SAK. And it’s just crying for a one handed main blade.

[@Jaden48108]

I own 3 Victorinox knives- the Huntsman, the Fieldmaster (one has a corkscrew, the other a Phillips head screwdriver other than that they are the same), and just recently the Hiker (because of its slimness and lightweight). The Huntsman got me through USAF Survival School back in 1991 when I was earning my wings. Even though I've used it almost daily for over 30 years it still functions and looks as new as the day I bought it. Eventually I'm going to buy a RangerGrip 79 based on its bulletproof sturdiness. Got to hand it to the craftsmanship of the Swiss.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

You won’t be disappointed with the RangerGrip.

[@balazsvarga440]

Its funny because I read your comment on the same day (yesterday) when I picked up my new RangerGrip 79, after owning 91mm SAKs. I'm really impressed, it is great in all terms, my Hiker seems like a toy besides it. :) My third SAK is a Ranger which I love as the ultimate cutting tool (blades, scissors, woodsaw, metal saw).

[@jonny11208]

Ordered a ranger 79 today. Can’t wait to get it. Ive been using an old Wenger for years but want something larger that I can open with one hand.

[@233kosta]

On the topic of craftsmanship, it's been a very long time since these were handmade en masse. Nowadays just about the only manual steps in the process are the insertion of the pin and the pen. Hence so many models come with the pin hole but no pin (personally I'd have rather received it in the box and stuck it in myself, than not at all, but presentation clearly matters here), and no pen by default, even though there's no trade-off for having it. With all that said, this is Swiss automation we're talking about, so really all they've done is upgraded the excellent craftsmanship from hand assembly to process control. I thus expect nothing short of perfection at a significantly improved unit cost 😁

[@steves1749]

I like how Felix is schvitzing with his strenuous testing.True professional

[@gizmocarr3093]

I appreciate seeing someone making a comparison between these two brands of Swiss knives. Both use tools that differ in design from one another. The awl on the Victorinox is made for wood more than for leather and canvas. The awl on the Swiza is not as good for wood however; is better for canvas and leather. It is sharp and also works for opening plastic packing and boxes. It also can make precise cuts in leather and canvas too. The blade steel is equal in durability and edge retention. The blades of both are also equal in fit and finish. However; the Swiza uses stainless liners rather than aluminum that provide more residence to corrosion. The tweezers on the Victorinox face outward and Swiza’s face inward and are better protected from loss than the Victorinox ones. The difference in cutting speed between the saw blades shows the advantage going to Victorinox. However; both work well for their size; just one is faster cutting wood. Both companies have great warranties for repair and replacement. The corkscrew is made to pivot to prevent damage while removing corks from bottles. Being larger in diameter also reduces the chances of the screw pulling out of the cork. The difference between the scissors is simply to different designs. How many cuts would it take to cut a sheet of paper in half using ones much larger and longer seem to be missed in the test. I have both in different models and simply put; they both do things better than the other can. Victorinox is the more popular of the two however; they make countless models and are more collectable. I bought a Swiza for a couple reasons first they are different and second they are dishwasher safe. If you read the care cleaning recommendations for the knife that is what they say in the care directions. So the Swiza is a better food knife than a Victorinox and the slots in the tools makes them easier to use. 🎇🔎🎇🔪

Welcome back. I knew the SAK would win. But hat off to you for an objective review. Agree about durability of the SAK. Got mine in 84, still going very strong. Holds a brilliant edge. Strong.

And the knife remains as good as new! Bravo Victorinox!

[@mikevandenbroek2366]

Victorinox was my first pocket knife as a young boy and it is good to see that they maintain the higher standard.

[@OnTheRiver66]

Great review, I learned a lot. I’ve been carrying Swiss Army knives for over 40 years on a daily basis, and not only do they take and keep a sharp edge, I can sharpen them to a razor edge with a pocket sharpener. A harder blade is not necessarily a better blade. I have a sheath knife that I can only sharpen in a reasonable time with a diamond hone. Buck knives used to make their blades very hard, and because they were harder to sharpen they started producing blades in a “normal” range of hardness (they used to show their blades cutting nails back then). I admire Swiza for trying new designs though.

[@naugeal]

Thank you Felix for excellent review. Everything you mentioned here is correct. I also want to share some personal experience of owning Swiza knives for 4 years. I have two knives: - one-layer red Swiza D01 with large blade, awl and corkscrew, - three-layer khaki Swiza D05 with large blade, wood saw, awl, corkscrew, can and openers. Swiza D01 is my EDC knife during 4 years, I use it a lot. I have tested Swiza D05 at home but never actually used it because of bad ergonomia. The wood saw and openers are sharp and sticking out from handle. I like the design of Swiza D01 knife, however the finishing and durability are not as good as Victorinox's. Especially I disappointed with quality of Swiza scales. After one year the "white cross" push button which unlocks the blade has failed. I wrote an email to Swiza to claim the problem, but Swiza has not answered my email. So I made the replacement knob from the constitution glue. The DIY knob is rather ugly, but it's do the job. The coating of the scales is erased with time. When the knife is unused and stored in the box for about a month the scales are sweating with oily substance. It's take couple of minutes for me to wash and wipe it. Swiza takes a premium price for it's products. But the premium price is not on a par with low overall the qualify of the product and the customer service doesn't answering email.

I recently got their TT7 and I think it’s a step above my (already excellent) Victorinox collection. The 12C27 steel is *nice*, but not sure how field-sharpenable it will turn out to be.

[@FelixImmler]

Great suggestion! Thanks a lot!

[@DThomas1976]

no China made stuff...

[@ct-bq5rs]

Tough the Blade is very good in my opinion Böker missed a great opportunity to make something different with theyr TT City Line. I wanted one for Urban Edc, but instead of concentrating on City use able Tools they included an awl and a corkscrew for example . Not very usable City Tools. I also have to agree, that the scissors are not nearly as good as the Vic ones. The only good things for an Urban Environment is the glass breaker and the serrated blade. Only that the serrated blade is not locked and can hurt you very bad. The Vic rescue Knife, or my Leatherman Rebar, make my actual urban Edc, it's much suited to the task IMHO!

[@ct-bq5rs]

@Hendrik Garnkäufer for a city tech tool I would like to see: -a nice blade -glass breaker -working serrated blade to cut cloth. with rounded tip so it works also for first aid -working scissors for cutting plastering or fingernails -nail file -mini bit Holder or squared screw driver with bit Holder like Leatherman -bottle opener with screw driver/prybar is OK, but I'm sure no one needs that ole can opener in the city

[@ct-bq5rs]

@Hendrik Garnkäufer right now I'm pretty happy with my Leatherman Rebar. It lacks the one handed opening option, but has the nicest tool set considering weight and size. The glass breaker is missing, but I thing the tip of they pliers could break something in case of emergency. I also always carry a swisscard mainly for the scissors and the nail file. Im trying swisscard with leatherman squirt and pocket knife as edc right now!

[@thewhippetwhispereretal4438]

I had a unbranded "Sheffield steel" pocket knife as a boy and then bought a Leatherman for work as a multi tool which has served me well. I always wanted a Victorinox as a child but they were too expensive to justify. After seeing how you use a Victorinox I've now regressed to my boyhood ambitions and went out and bought one.

[@gabithemagyar]

[@georgemarian2164]

I have owned a swiza D03 olive fern for almost a year now and i'm very impressed with the quality. I have carved into oak and even hammered its blade into an oak log(don't ask me why) but it held up really nice, no blade play and the edge held a functional sharpness(not quite shaving sharp but there). I have also used the awl to drill holes too but i only spun in one direction and it did its job. If you spin it like you do with the Victorinox it breaks, because of its shape it creates additional torsion in the blade, it's not because of poorer quality of the steel. Of course it cannot be better than a knife that has been in development for so long, but it is still a very nice edc knife. Also I may add that every tool is tight in its place and the spring tension is just right, not to tight so you'd have to fight with it but not too loose. Idk maybe there are some quality control issues, which is a great issue don't get me wrong...but they are newbies still compared to Victorinox😅😅😅.

[@lvhdmya4807]

I was cleaning my Spartan and decided to dunk the Swiza also into soapy water. After a 4 hour soak, the spacer between the awl and the liner on the Swiza shed it's chrome plating and is now rough and the awl grates open and shut. The spacers for Vics are SS. Also every time I close the awl on the Swiza it bites off the tip of the closed big blade. Vics have a barely perceptible curve on the blade to avoid exactly this!

[@san-so7vl]

I got swiza recently. He said all the points. Swiza handle is good, but the rest of the tools are not practical as victorinox. His reviews are very honest and informative.

[@barbar7746]

From my experience: Swiza advantages : better handle material (Victorinox cellidor is really cheap. It will be scratched or broke for nothing), inox liners (aluminium for Victorinox), better design. Victorinox advantages: superior manufacturing quality, tools are generally more effective, finition is better.

I own about 42 Victorinox knives and 1 Swiza. lol From what I've experienced, it's clear that the Victorinox seems better designed for urban or outdoor settings, while the Swiza is more suitable for the home. Why? The Swiza's convenient locking button mechanism, the very large Tailor style scissors suitable for clothing, the bright colors and rubberized handles for comfort. I picture this in a kitchen drawer or tool box and used by the entire family, including children.

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

I've gone through phases of spending a fair amount of money on quality knives over the years. My Wenger Alox Soldier is the one that still lives in my pocket after damn near 15 years of ownership though (love the bale on it). If it ever breaks/gets lost, I will switch to my red Victorinox Alox Farmer...or maybe buy a new Vic Pioneer in the plain Alox finish. Both these companies make quality, reliable knives that won't fail you if you understand their uses and limitations IMO, so I'll not be bothering with a third brand. (I know Wenger are no more, which is a shame in my opinion, they made the best mini scissors on the keyring versions, I lost mine ages ago and use a mini Vic Alox instead...I still miss those serrated Wenger scissors though!). This channel is gold.

I was just wondering if the price difference between Victorinox and Swiza was justified. I guess I have my answer know. Swiza have a cool design, but it looks more like a fashion accessory than a hard working knife. I have a Forrester but my daily is the Spartan , both went to hell and back tho. I just sent the damaged Forrester to Victorinox which sent me back a new one. I know Swiza says they have the same lifetime warranty has victorinox except they are asking for a "proof of purchase" by an "authorized" dealer. Victorinox do not require any of those, I sent them an old "spartan" with sticky blades that I found in a flee market, they sent a new one.

Hello Felix. Welcome back. We really missed you. I hope that you had a wonderful vacation. Great video and excellent comparison. Thanks for sharing this information.

That's A Demo! 👍 Victorinox is been famous for its tools but also for blade material which stays surprisingly sharp even without sharpening. The other Brand is not bad option too. At the end what really matters is what you have on person when it's needed. Good Presentation 😎👍

If this isn't an honest and true review then I've never seen one. Good work!

Welcome back. In any comparison quality always wins over price alone. And with here you have both with the Victorinox. I learned at 12 with a knock off of a Buck 110 in which the lock failed. The scar has long faded but that cheap knife sits in the bottom of a bin somewhere as a reminder.

👍 I have owned both and agree with your choice. I never did a head-to-head comparison of each tool as you did, the Victorinox just seemed to be a better buy due to it’s sturdier feel. Plus, no Victorinox knife has ever failed me.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!

Your videos really make me smile. Once you start something, you don't give up, go you Felix? 🙃 I want to thank you very much. II was tempted to buy a Swiza, but if I do, it's just going to be an 01 (no tools).

[@FelixImmler]

Ahh, the one with just a blade... yes good idea!

[@michaeljones5395]

Great comparison! Lots of hard work put into making this video! Great job!

[@undhund7588]

Wirklich interessant, endlich SIEHT man einmal den Unterschied im benutzen Stahl bei den Werkzeugen. Da erkennt man, dass Qualität nunmal seinen Preis hat! Vielen dank für diese Vorstellung! :-)

[@bigal2696]

What a great video and comparison! And you worked very hard!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much 😀

The SWIZA knifes are designed to be made on automatic machines and as such the quality has to be consistent. The locking main blade is clearly a key feature that is targeting a different customer base too , the "NON knife" folks, the "safeties " and all who want something hip ! We gives the basic model as business gifts here in US and men tell me that their wife , GF "confiscated" his SWIZA knife, the moment she saw it !! I am very impressed by the SWIZA knives and will continue to buy these as gift item ! I give the these young engineers and designers a lot of credit to launch this radical design and manufacturing concept, with Victorinox as THE competitor!

Thanks Felix for this review. I own 7 Victorinox knives (one for each backpack i have : hiking, moto or car roadtrips, traveling...) and 2 Swiza and I loved the scissors tool on the Swiza then I have noticed the exact same thing as you about cutting harder materials. I still love the Swiza design but I only use them to go hiking and make sandwiches 😅. The quality is still good but they don't feel as strong as the Victorinox.

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Gregg. Thanks a lot for your super interesting comment!

[@gabithemagyar]

Very thorough review ! I have quite a few Victorinox knives and the Outrider is my favourite for camping or travelling (although it is now illegal in some countries to carry because of the locking blade). I only have 1 Swiza knife which I stick in my pocket when going for a walk in the the nearby forest .... the Swiza Tick Remover knife. It comes in handy when walking through wild grassy areas where there are ticks, possibly infected with Lyme Disease. The awl works well through leather and I have used it to drill holes in my belt. The knife is OK for light duty. All in all though, I prefer the Victorinox knives in most circumstances. Maybe Victorinox should consider adding a tick tool to some of its models meant for outdoors ?
