Compact for urban environment, Huntsman for Outdoor activities 😊

[@Dretelejr]

I urban-carry either the Compact or the Pioneer X, and I do rotate them. For short walks or I may expect lugging around objects, then I go for the Compact (the Parcel Hook helps a lot in carrying objects tied to a point or plastic bags); for semi-formal events or casual hang-around without any expectations of carrying anything then I go for the Pioneer X. I utilize the scissors frequently hence the options. For provincial travel where I expect to do some more heavy outdoor stuff, I go for the Compact AND the Soldier ‘08. The serrated blade was surprisingly useful cutting up flesh when cooking, and a saw is a saw.

Great video!!love the Climber..I carry it daily..I also have the Compact but I prefer the Climber..I think the Compact is over hyped

[@urbanknifeguy]

Thanks for watching!

My EDC tool I carry every day is the Leatherman Micra which is connected to my house keys. I have the Explorer SAK which I use for urban and camping. I like having the magnifying glass, useful for small print, possible first aid and back up fire starting. I use the parcel hook always for pulling tent pegs. For bushcraft I have the Rangergrip 79, which has a great saw. Also Corporal Corner's choice for Bushcraft so you can't go wrong. I have a Leatherman Charge titanium as well but mostly leave that at home where I can't lose it, unless I needed pliers outside for something.

I carry a Compact and if I want something smaller, a Manager. :)

I came too late to the knife edc collection. Everything is expensive for me now but I have the climber, the hunter XS and the Rangergrip 58. I need the hunstman and some alox XD

Climber Forever!

Swiss Champ!!!

[@r.tomrobison8307]

I prefer the ranger or huntsman. I don't walk so weight is usually not much of a problem. I also have other knives to carry. Plus tools. I'm a big fan of sak. Also a fan of your videos.

Doesn't the Compact also have the pin behind the corkscrew as standard? Nice to remove splinters or to pierce a blister.

[@TarmoLuumann]

Compact does come with the pin inserted. Most other medium SAKs only have the hole for a pin. Only manually assembled SAKs come with pin inserted from the factory - Victorinox does not (at least a couple of months ago) have a machine that can insert pins.

RANGER For everything .

[@kevincrawford6243]

The Compact would be so much better if they would just replace the hook with a Phillips driver. I've liked the Compact enough that I've bought it more than once, but the weak screwdriving capability just keeps it from being EDC-worthy for me. I'm not of the camp that thinks the hook is entirely worthless, but is it as useful as Phillips in the everyday environment the Compact is geared towards? Come on. Or just make a new model as above and call it the Compact Tinker. Come to think of it, I'd like to see Vic replace the "standard" layers on many models with the single blade / combo tool layer. It would be especially nice in the Cybertools, where the small screwdriver is made completely redundant with the bit driver. It’s these kind of decisions that make me wonder if multi-tool makers intentionally leave out a feature or two just to keep us buying more in the seemingly endless quest to obtain the perfect multi. Or maybe that’s just how things have gone for me. 😂

Thanks for your thoughts! Makes perfect sense!
