5 BEST Swiss Army Knives for EDC

[@BestDamnEDC]

Hey guys. While my EDC changes a lot, there is one staple that is ALWAYS there. A SAK. What's your favorite SAK model to EDC? Tell me👇

[@its_just_sock]

never carried one before, but from these i think id go with the cadet, feel like it would be a good pairing with the gerber dime.

[@watchncarry9593]

I own the SuperTinker, but favorite would have ti be the SwissChamp. Value, toolset, footprint: it hits all the right notes

[@karsten_m]

Farmer in the pocket and Manager on the keychain.

[@just-inedc2381]

I would say my favorites are the alox engineer and alox mini champ

[@Fender1031]

I ve carried a Spartan for the last year edc. I use it all the time. Second I'd say Cadet or Pioneer.

[@BarnesArcade]

I looked at EVERY model before settling on the Climber. No SAK has exactly what anyone wants & I wish they had a custom shop you can choose all the tools to make a perfect one.

[@BestDamnEDC]

[@frankkollar2278]

You can make your own If you're a little bit handy it's not that hard there's how to videos on you tube I wanted a Yeoman which s hard to find and expensive if you do So I bought a compact and an explorer and using just a dremel a punch and a hammer I made my own Looks and feels like factory I've been carrying it for going on 2 years no problems

[@jbull1178]

I also have the climber. Hoping to get a compact too at some point.

[@pyrosmoak53]

@@frankkollar2278 that's Kool man, kudos to you

[@Alex_Pasu]

I carry the climber too =)

[@excessorizeme]

Anyone that's into the mini sizes, check out the Signature lite, perfect toolset for daily usage with a built-in light.

[@lelkas8274]

Thanks 👍

[@heisenberg5373]

Did you throw it on your desk 100 times to test quality??

[@twitchbitbandit9426]

Did you scratch it enough yet?

[@thom_-so1sc]

I'm not buying until you do a scientific shake test and stuff I in a wallet with your daily essentials

[@nmende00]

The pen function outshines the LED light.

[@chriscon8463]

On my keychain is my SAK “Manager”. Knife, scissors, Phillips & regular screwdriver, bottle opener, nail file, tweezers, & pen. Ridiculously useful. I love it!

[@L4nc3_4_l0t]

same reason I love my "Midnite Manager" never needed tweezers but that flashlight they replace those with in the "Midnite" versions sure comes in handy

[@oliverpolden]

Agree, I have a manager. Was choosing between that and a midnight manager but decided to get an Aurora in addition and don’t regret it. A nice little combo.

[@frenchfuc43r50]

For 10g more i prefer the Mini champ. Orange peeler/box opener, 2nd blade and nail cleaner are handy for me

[@EBuff75]

I carried the Executive for years. In college, the orange peeler worked really well for unlocking simple door locks on practice rooms, study rooms, etc.. Just reach into the crack between the strike plate and the door and then pull back, using the hooked part of it to snag and retract the latch. Sort of like using a credit card, but much easier. Also, the tip of the orange peeler is a flathead screwdriver.

[@jimmoore1372]

Where to find the executive

[@EBuff75]

@@jimmoore1372 Just do a search online. It's the Victorinox Swiss Army Executive Pocket Knife and it's offered in both black and red (I have the black version). Item number 0.6603.3 on the Victorinox website.

[@armero83]

Victorinox Alox Batam is my go to EDC knife, super slim and I love the combo bottle opener/can opener / flat screwdriver tool

[@Psyblader501]

It's so thin it easily fits into the coin pocket of a wallet.

[@oling2812]

Although it literally never ever gets mentioned, my favourite SAK is the Bantam. Essentially a trimmed down cadet which combines the bottle opener and can opener into an incredible single 'combi' tool which works great for either task. It's a single layer SAK weighing in at just 29g (1 ounce) which is 11g lighter than the SAK minichamp (also one of my favourites and on my keyring). It's an invisible knife which never leaves my person and I completely forget it's there.

[@Psyblader501]

It's so thin it easily fits into the coin pocket of a wallet.

[@samyaksurana6675]

Omg Wait Thats a thing?

[@timothyvolkers5343]

I picked up the cadet recently and I really love it. I however bought the 2020 limited edition version in the Indigo Blue Alox handle scales. I picked up the 2020 limited edition version in memory of my mother that passed away just a couple of weeks into 2021. She was much loved by everyone that knew her but she was my roommate, closest friend and confidant. My mother was Chronically ill and had been close to death several times over the last decade of her life but finally her illness came to an end on January 15 2021. Interestingly enough just 2 weeks after the passing of her father someone I greatly respected and considered a good friend. So in memory of my mother especially but my grandfather as well I picked up the Victorinox Cadet 2020 limited edition version in Indigo Blue it is and will always be a special piece of my pocket knife and EDC collection.

[@Fender1031]

I use the corkscrew to untie knots. You just work the tip into the knot and twist and it comes out...

[@BestDamnEDC]

I just use the reamer or nail file for the same thing. But pry instead of twist.

[@71simonforrester]

@@CaldoDeElote That mini flat head is the only reason I choose a SAK with a corkscrew - it's so useful.

[@rashadnagi7531]

My Tinker goes everywhere with me, I always wanted a real Swiss army knife as a kid and when I found out as an adult how versatile and varied the designs were. I found my match in the Tinker.

[@ironman2326]

The Tinker was my first midsized real SAK that I bought in high school after I got my first job. Carried it everyday until I lost it on the ship in the Navy back around 2002. Just now bought another one (though I have about 8 or 9 other SAKs now). Forgot how great it was with such a simple set of tools!

[@pudimdecana51]

I couldn’t quite wrap my head around your observations: first you say the pioneer x is too big, and shows that prefers a custom that is about the same size (thickness of the scales), then you say the cadet is too small… well, there is no in between (except maybe the Evo series, that have broader blades, at 85mm length, but with thicker scales and no alox). These custom scales are very cool and the addition of the pocket clip seems a nice touch. I really forget about my 2 layered SAKs in my pockets, especially when hanging with a pocket clip. They don’t bother me at all.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

I've been a pocket knife EDC dude since probably around my freshman year of high school and I'm 38 in May. I was given the Victorinox Swiss Card not long after the release from my sister for Christmas. I love the Victorinox card and use it frequently but the tool I use the most from the Swiss card is the scissors. I've used the tiny writing pen and the little knife but I frequently return to the scissors. The Victorinox Swiss Card is probably the EDC item I keep with me that's the oldest EDC tool that I own. It would be either the card or a Kershaw Chive, the Chive was my first quality pocket knife. I love both tools but the Swiss card is in my wallet and goes with me everyday.

[@sreilly688]

Super tinker has turned out to be my favorite. Need 4 tools. Knife, scissors, flat head and phillips. Zac is definitely onto something if the compact had a Phillips screw driver it would be perfect

[@Cheeseb0ng]

I always carry a victorinox, I got a huntsman from my grandfather and an SD classic from my other grandfather. I have since put the huntsman in my toolbox as I never had a use for the saw or the corkscrew and the SD classic still lives on my keychain. Now I carry a rambler in my watch pocket everywhere because I always need to use the small screwdriver, I also just bought a Tinker Deluxe because it has the small pliers and the big screwdriver which is exactly the toolset I need every day, I make jewelry and the pliers are perfect for bending wire, rings and squeezing beads, absolute 10/10 tools.

[@ROE1300]

So, based upon your comments and favorite knives you mainly use your SAKs for trimming loose threads (scissors) and cleaning/filing your nails (file). I use mine mostly while camping so my favorite is the Camper. I have uses for the reamer/awl, saw, and main blade. The secondary blade is useful for fine carving/whittling. The corkscrew holds an eye glass screwdriver, soon some tinder for fire starting, and can help increase the size of a hole bored by the reamer. Currently there is a ferro rod that replaces the toothpick. The tweezers are useful in removing splinters and ticks.

[@rayomandd]

The Mini-Champ is Amazing!

[@anthonymendez1015]

Yep my daily carry along with my sebenza 21. Really all I need

[@Vares65]

I bought a Champ back in 1995 and I *still* love it. Carry it every day.

[@theoutdoordude2259]

I don't think the tinkerer gets enough respect. It's my favorite!

[@MrSharpe95]

Just bought the Tinker XL, I love it 😀 great value too

[@ctranger]

Super Tinker was my very first SAK back in 1985. And Yes, I got the idea from watching (the original) MacGyver. And yes, I still have that one in my collection.

[@daithi1966]

For a little small SAX the Rambler is by far my favorite. It's the same size as the classic but with the tools I want. Tools: small main blade, scissors, nail file, phillips head and standard screwdrivers, bottle opener, wire stripper, and tweezers (but no can opener).

[@frenchfuc43r50]

Minichamp is the best

[@michalwojcik9106]

Manager better

[@hunterthane5397]

Coming from a farming, hunting, fishing, camping background the huntsman works great for me I think I've had mine close to 12 years now

[@sreilly688]

I love the Fieldmaster. It's pretty much the huntsman but it has a screw driver instead of a corkscrew that i would never use.

[@bolopunq]

Compact in the pocket, rambler on the keychain with the car keys. My fav combo.

[@koosvanrensburg5016]

Exact same for me.

[@pettadonato9391]

Love the Explorer! The magnifying glass and tweezers make a good combo and the end placed Phillips is hard to beat. The glass is also handy as a backup firestarter.

[@AdamRapier]

A cadet with scissors would be a dream come true, call it the cadet X

[@Tigerxx89]

Cadet is my all time favorite.

[@dubernauta]

The world needs a cadet X 🙏

[@FreedomFox1]

Or an Alox Compact (not sure I'd want to see the Cadet go to 3 layers).

[@markoner2624]

I am a cadet

[@dubernauta]

@@markoner2624 but, do you have scissors?😂

[@billythepigeon7345]

I got my first victorinox when I was 10, a stainless steel scaled Executive model, same model my dad carried on him throughout his adult life, but it didn't have the toothpick and tweezers so he gave it to me, I still have it. I now carry a cyber tool lite in a pouch on my belt, far too big for the pocket. I use pretty much every tool on there, with varying frequency, during my work day. I have a modified Huntsman that I use as a carving tool. I've built up a substantial collection of models over the years though.

[@kulls13]

I've carried a Tinker for years and I love it. I actually really like the secondary blade. I sharpen it at less of an angle to make it razor sharp. So the main blade is for boxes etc and the small blade is for fine cuts that I need a super sharp blade for.

[@korgan7779]

I too carry a SAK daily amongst other blades. Currently carrying a Sportsman also for the nail file. I've salvaged 84mm scissors from torn up old SAKs and am working on a "Cadet X" and a "Sportsman X" custom mod.

[@88namiller]

I always carry the super tinker. Basic toolset with Phillips screwdriver and scissors. I added plus scales with a pen. I have a Bantam as a backup or if I want a smaller package. I made a pocket clip on a short lanyard to keep it in place and pull it out quickly.

[@mikebritt8934]

My favorite is the Compact and the Rambler

[@bassnerd44]

My go to for a SAK is my Rambler. It is the size of the Executive but you get scissors, the philpshead/ cap lifter combo (the head is magnetic), blade, toothpick, tweezers, and file. It lives in my wallet 100% of the time and I carry it every day, wherever I go. It has come in clutch so much and it seriously completed my EDC.

[@Luuk_M]

Love the Rambler, or even better: the discontinued Manager (which includes a retractable pen). However, these are 58 mm knives, and the Executive is a 74 mm knive. The main blade and scissors are considerably larger than on the 58 mm knives.

[@redrum_5.021]

compact is the most practical sak i've ever owned.. that in the pocket and a signal in the bag.. you can't go wrong

[@redrum_5.021]

iPac9mm thats like, your opinion man

[@subwoofer6726]

I've always carried the Fieldmaster or the Huntsman; but more-so the FM because I prefer having a screwdriver over a corkscrew. and I don't mind carrying a knife with some weight. While I do carry dedicated blades, if I had to chose out of all my knives, I'd carry a SAK! My dad has carried one all his life, I think his is the classic red Fieldmaster, an it's served him well. I took it from him when it was gunked and the parts were stiff, but it was nothing a little soaking in water with dish detergent, brushing, drying, sharpening, and lubricating didn't fix! After that got his SAK nearly back to working like new (minus the inevitable wear marks that come with years of use; which I could have sent to Swiss Army for a total repair with new scale and dissembled cleaning, but I wanted the satisfaction of feeling accomplished lol). The smaller blades are for finer cutting work. For a knife enthusiast the blades are nothing to run home about, but it's good stainless steel, and in the hands of a person who's good at sharpening and honing, the blades easily fix. I would like if SAK opened up a "Custom Shop" where you could customize your SAK from ground up, your tools, size, scales, finish (stainless steel, blacked) ect. Would cost you much more but you get the SAK YOU want if none of their premade models match your fancy.

[@markymark1731]

I have a Classic SD, Fieldmaster & Huntsman. The only difference between the latter two is a screwdriver instead of corkscrew. They seem to have come up with a million combinations but somehow missed all the ones you want. These were the best ones for me.

[@thebigfrogg]

My top: 1. Rambler 2. Pioner X 3. Compact 4. Deluxe tinker 5. Sportsman

[@JACathcart5181]

Great review Taylor. These knives are so iconic, and I believe every serious blade collector should own a few. The fit and finish for such a massively produced tool is remarkable and you can't beat the price for a Swiss-made product. I own a dozen or so SAKs and carry a Champ everywhere, I use it frequently and it's the "safe" knife when someone at works wants to borrow a blade for something. There is no way I'm handing them my Custom Mini Crooked River :)

[@erikramaekers63]

My favorite is the Farmer.But i collect Classic SD limited edition knives.The scissors are the best on any multitool

[@skeltonslay8er781]

Kinda wish they made the farmer with a pair of pliers. Wonder if there’s enough space for me to modify the scissors on a farmer x

[@martintanz9098]

I have over a dozen Victorinox knives. My OG was a Camper. I carried that all through my high school and college years, including a year overseas where it was my only knife and tool for the entire year. Used it for opening cans, and bottles, and uncorking wine bottles. Used the main blade for cutting meat and cheeses. And the secondary blade for cutting and peeling fruit. I basically used every single tool on that almost daily for food preparation, except for the saw. I currently carry the mini champ alox. Before that, I carried a Manager, and still might return to it someday as it was a very good EDC mini knife.. And I carry a Pioneer in a pocket organizer in my car because, you never know when you might need a knife. And finally, I rotate among various knives on my desk, but mostly stick with the Climber.

[@Over_Taxed_USA]

Agreed!! Cadet with Scissors needs to happen 👍 The money clip is a larger version of the Classic and thats the one I carry the most.. Great tool for sure.

[@arcticraz2701]

Nailclip 580 and a Cyber Tool Small is my daily carry. Gotten me out of a few pickles, fixed tons of stuff... and I never have to worry about peeling a finger like a banana trying to get rid of a hangnail. The power of both of them solve darn near any problem you have!

[@JuicyJerm]

I currently carry the Farmer Alox. Love it, went with this model for the saw. Over time realized fir everyday use i need slightly different tools. I just ordered the mini champ in alox. Probably also with be getting the newly realized brass cadet. Im obsessed with brass. Even started making my own brass beads and brass prytools cause I got tired of paying 20 bucks for a plain brass bead I can easily make myself.

[@mikebaldwin798]

Dude. Sportsman II. Look at them. Also, great video! Navigating the SAK world is daunting! Congrats for jumping in.

[@Allensanity]

SAK Compact is the best of all time. I keep going back to it time and time again.

[@CplMAC1144]

4:59 I just used the corkscrew on my old Hunstman today to pull out a rubber gasket from my garden hose. Never say never my friend. My favorite, which I don’t have yet, is the Farmer. Smallest one with scissors and a saw.

[@Tundra-yb8gj]

I have the Pioneer X. I use the reamer all the time. In the configuration where it’s on the end, I use it to open packages I stead of a blade.

[@johnperry5227]

My favorite is the tinker small. Exact same price as the normal tinker with the same toolset but it’s the size of the cadet. Fits perfectly in any pocket without being too big, and I prefer a smaller knife to a file anyways

[@UtiliTerran]

Compact for the win.

[@CarlosEduardo-qf5gr]

We all want a Cadet X years ago. Victorinox should listen.

[@prh8068]

I have a Camper model SAK that was purchased in 1962 when I was about 7 years old. As a kid it was in my pocket everyday and still rides there about once a month or so. Its in very good condition but certainly has a few scratches here and there - that's almost 60 years of memories! I bought it in an open air market in Saudi Arabia for 7 rials = about $1.40. (US citizen but my dad worked for an oil company at the time.)

[@its_just_sock]

well i never thought of having one myself as i think my EDC has all these tools already, but now i feel i need one. so long paycheck, thanks dude.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Sorry not sorry. 🙃

[@alextaplin7354]

My first ever knife was a victorinox classic, recently a took the blade and Spring out of it and gave it a Bocote and brass handle and flamed the blade blue and purple. It's tiny but beautiful and the perfect EDC slip joint for the UK.

[@backrowbrighton]

I carry a Tinker model most days but occasionally swap it for the Alox version of the Bantam. The latter is an awesome knife, has just the blade and the combination tool but it so light and flat and easy to carry.

[@suecollins3246]

In 1986 my ex-husband, who was in the South African Army (we both were!) came home from work with two Victorinox Pioneers. They have the SA Army catalogue number stamed on them. They cost R3.65 each, and if I'd known then what I know know I'd have bought a dozen! Even today the can opener is still the only can opener I use. I use one or the other of the tools about once a week!

[@noliyoshida7486]

My requirements for SAK are to be as few layers as possible while keeping the scissors. So my favourite 3 are Ambassador, Compact and Classic SD, in that order. The Climber gets an honourable mention for it's smaller blade - which I find I use more often than the main blade, surprisingly. So quite similar to your picks

[@toddreynolds1928]

Cadet and SD for EDC. It’s my third knife all the time so I don’t want anything heavy. I have a Spyderco Honeybee on my keychain 👌🏻

[@TheAlfarasjohn]

I have a pioneer and spartan, also I have a rare edition Scout Jack knife, that made in 90's for world scouts. I use to be scout. I'm in love with that kind of Jack knifes

[@laurieshawty4228]

8:04 it is supposed to be a medical spatula which is like a thing to separate small things grouped together or to measure things easier.

[@nathankirk1545]

I just bought a SAK like a month ago, and went with the Nail Clipper one. I already carry a Leatherman Skeletool, and a Emerson-Kershaw knife, so I'm unlikely to need to use the SAK knife, but it's nice to have a good pair of clippers, file, and scissors on hand (since I always notice my nails getting long when I'm not at home). Slips in an Altoids tin with a few other useful things.

[@eoghanmyers2330]

I edc the compact and it's honestly perfect for me. The only tool I don't use on it is the parcel hook because the corkscrew is very useful for opening knots. You can screw it into the centre of a knot and just pull, never had it not work. It's slim enough that I can put it in the inside pocket of my jacket and it doesn't bother me. I don't carry any other blade unless I'm doing DIY

[@doyouwanttogivemelekiss3097]

for an edc in switzerland, the parcel hook is useful for at least 2 reasons: 1) (re)attaching bicycle chains 2) (news)paper recycling demands the papers be bound to a parcel and deposited outdoors.

[@johnkeck1025]

The cork screw is also good for picking at knots like with paracord and using as a hook in place of the old package hook on some models

[@jasonbrown6686]

Just getting in here . Pulled out the BMX and reminded myself how old I am tonight 👨‍🦳🚲😁. But I had fun doing it !! Thanks for the video Taylor !! I hope you and the family are doing well !!

[@slabside67]

Just bought a Haro Thread 2, wont b here til wed. I’m jealous bro.

[@slabside67]

How old?

[@Gold_Stadt]

I like the Compact best and also use the Minichamp Alox. The Compact has everything I need, nothing I don't need and it's flat, light and perfectly sized. I always thought the two blades are there because you can use one for food and the other one for working (?).

[@Frank-uf2vn]

I have the VICTORINOX SWISS ARMY Hiker, it has everything I wanted and I did look at the (Amazon) pocket clip but couldn't see putting a $20 clip on a $23 pocket knife and the reviews weren't that good from what I saw?

[@charlescollier7217]

I usually carry my SAKs in a belt sheath. A favorite carry is a Climber and a large nail clipper (both in the belt sheath). I get a big blade, big scissors, flatheads, bottle opener, big dedicated file, and precision snipper. The only thing I would want in addition would be a Phillip's driver.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

My favourite Victorinox is a model no longer produced by Victorinox. It is the old Voyageur Alox, with a main blade, a combo tool with can opener, cap lifter, screw driver and a wire stripper on the first layer. And on the second layer the Voyageur has got a pair of scissors. Very nice companion for the urban environment. And my second choice would be one of the old Golfer models. It is a slightly smaller Victorinox Compact, without the nail file on the hook.

[@MrShredder183]

Man these things are awesome I need to find me one of these cool edc tools love your videos man!!

[@Traderjoe]

My favorite is the Pioneer X. I believe that I got several of the earliest versions of Brassworks work. When it was just one guy doing it on Instagram. Top notch stuff

[@blacksmith44]

I keep my Alox mini champ in the same pocket, that 5th pocket, lol... and I love it!

[@wolfgangclark1475]

my favorite is the cadet because it is small but gives me everything that i need on the norm.

[@DanT288]

I love the executive it's also one of Macgyver's favourites good video bro.

[@rubensintes1]

I always carry a non alox Minichamp with me. The orange peeler it's great to cut the precinct/tape of the boxes without the risk of scratch the objects inside

[@AmericanHistoryXX1]

I know this is an older video but the corkscrew on a swiss army knife can be used for getting tight knots undone. Just to give you an idea of why it could be more useful even if youre not a wine drinker.

[@ryce_luke1269]

My favorite is the super tinker, has everything I need only thing I’d replace is the small knife for a nail filer

[@glavatazelva]

8:12 I don't think it's a letter opener, but for cutting ropes, wires, threads or something like that (if I see correctly, it's a sharpened hook)

[@justinweisberg1634]

I love victorinox. I have the classic SD and the cadet, but I’m still drooling over the explorer and the mini champ.

[@teunhartveldt2940]

If you want a tinker without the secondary blade but with a nail file. Might i reccomend the EVO11

[@LRyan225]

the secondary blade I found more useful than the primary blade. I use the 2nd blade mainly for open boxes and cutting ropes/lines (doing dirty work). I have a Victorinox Hiker, the main blade for cutting foods/pealing fruit skins, etc. (doing food-related tasks), and leave the dirty stuff for the small 2nd blade. Opening boxes will always leave some glue residue on the blade, and often hard to wash away. The only reason I regret choosing the Hiker is the screwdriver, I will rather change it to a corkscrew instead. BTW, If you know how to open an oyster, you can open it using the bottle opener on your 91mm Swiss army knives(bigger is better). I used it to open at least a dozen of them when I don't have a proper oyster knife in hand.

[@jaysalvaterra1484]

I'm new to knives and looking at getting a Swiss army knife as my introduction. Thanks for this video, helped a bunch. Think the executive makes the most sense in and around the city.

[@DD-d6d3]

Check out the Manager.

[@TalasGene]

I have the Fieldmaster with almost everything in it except for the cork screw. It is too big to carry an you can definitely feel it in your pocket. It is kept inside my bag. I would love to have one of those allox models. Thanks for the video!

[@parawatch1761]

I need to get back to carrying one of these. Infinitely useful.

[@Dareios4297]

Honestly loving my Spartan, that I got gifted as a kid, by some stranger. Was my main blade for about 10 years before I lost it for years and just recently found it again, still love it. Needs some love but who cares ^^

[@wileecoyoti]

I do the classic SD when I'm out (way out sometimes) in the field. For the weight there's nothing nearly so versatile: scissors for nail hygiene (can make the difference between swamp rot and comfort), knife is self explanatory, tweezers for thorns and cactus spikes, file for modifying equipment, and the end of the file is a basic screwdriver for adjusting my gear or camera equipment. Only thing I don't think I ever use is the toothpick.

[@Project_2501]

25 years ago, when I was a kid - a "knockoff" didn't automatically mean "bad"! I had a knockoff with nice antler scales and I abused it and did all the things you should never do to your knife and it seemed almost unbreakable. I can't remember re-sharpening it at least once! Unfortunately some older kids stole it from me back in elementary when I got mugged by those punks who even took the patches that covered tho holes in my pants! They even cut those off with the very knife they took from me. I loved that knife man..

[@bobcole612]

Have carried a Tinker every day for the last 30 years. Mainly because of the Phillips head screwdriver. Don't really use the main blade that much, I have my Boker Kalashnikov for that. Also have little Mini SAM'S in my Altoid Tin Emergency kits.

[@Znatsnaz]

For me the best is Huntsman and Minichamp. I have both.

[@greekveteran2715]

Best Combo IMHO: Spirit X with Explorer for Urban and Swisstool with 111mm Rucksack for the outdoors. Honorable mentions: Urban: Climber,Compact,Super Tinker,Deluxe Tinker,Alox Classic,Electrician,Pioneer,Pioneer X,Cadet,Rambler,Ambasador. - For the outdoors: Harvester,Farmer,2 handed Trecker or Forester (Rucksack is and works better overall.Newer models are only unnecessary more robust and much heavier, but don't work better,IMO same goes for the Rangergrip series). Huntsman and Fieldmaster are great for both Urban and the Outdoors. My top 5: Spirit X,Explorer,Rucksack,Alox Classic,Harvester. PS: Most SAK collectors are located in the USA, that's a fact!

[@skovbo65]

That cuticle pusher is also very good to dig out earwax with if you have that problem.

[@daverobertson623]

Cadet or pioneer (no x) for me. Both alox, all the essentials and durable as hell.

[@hetrogamr84]

The ball point pen? The straight pen? Changing out your "unused" tweezers for fire steel? Corkscrew tools?

[@CaptnHampton22]

I love my Huntsman. So much utility for outdoors.

[@maxneyasit8130]

Mini champ, pioneer X, hunter XT and some times hunter pro I think, rambler, compact and waiter is perfect EDC tools to

[@FightingTemplar]

I’ve carried a ‘classic’ on my keychain for over 30 years.

[@lenn1635]

I use the secondary blade for opening packages or to cut something which is closed with tape. Because of tow reasons. 1 you can't destroy the thing in the package with the shorter blade. 2 the primary blade stays clean and don't gets stickie if you cut tape.

[@BrentWall-o1l]

The tinker is on my keychain all day every day. Along side a leatherman squirt ps4. Together it's everything I need.

They need to make an ALOX Tinker ffs. It's perfect, just I'm done with the chipping plastic scales and the custom metal scales are too pricey.

@@CaldoDeElote That's useful, but it does pretty much double the cost of the tool!

Having two blades on a Swiss Army knife means you can have one (larger) blade as a beater and keep and use the other super sharp. Cork sniffers hate the steel but it’s easy to sharp and was never designed to be your main tool. You’ll probably use your Swiss army ahead of your edc jewelleries.

4:46 "miniature pioneer X". I call it the cadet X and I've been dreaming of it since before the pioneer X itself came up... That gave me hope. And I'm still waiting for victorinox to make it :(

I think the romance of SAK's is greater than their reality. They're relatively heavy, inconvenient to carry and are almost always missing tools you want, while having ones you'll never use. I have a few and they just sit in my drawer. If they were (more) customizable, I think they'd make a lot more sense as EDC items. Thanks, for the detailed video.
