Well, as a long time Bushcrafter and former Vietnam Vet Recon Rat, this was a nice change of pace from all the so-called “experts” and armchair woodsmen online. Well done! Great to see a true ‘newbie’ make a thorough review from their perspective! (And I also love watching Felix and his creativity!)

Never pegged you for a knife person! Yay! Senior female edc'er and knife lover here who also loves fountain pens! While I no longer have the need for a survival knife, I carry a pocket knife religiously and use it multiple times daily. Looking forward to seeing you try your hand at basic bush craft skills. How fun!!!

[@gadgetstop321]

There appears to be quite a bit of overlap between the knife and the fountain pen communities. I've been fascinated with Swiss army knives and survival stuff in general since I was a kid, but the only knife I owned for a long time (30 years) was my little Swiss army classic. When my daughter expressed an interest in knives I got her a little Swiss army rally and she loves it and uses it everyday, but she has developed an interest in collecting "pretty" knives. She and I both got Boker Kalashnikov Desert Warriors, but I realized that if a knife is pretty, I won't use it. So when I saw this knife, I knew it was the one for me. BTW, I love your username/handle. 😀

*Correction* We got Dessert 🍩🎂 Warriors 😀

[@jamesellsworth9673]

YOU really solved a complicated problem when you figured out how to mount the knife on that tool kit.

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! 🤓

[@scottsyoutubeworld1824]

Some amazing engineering going on there! I think with a Bic lighter as primary, and the fire steel as backup, there's no need for the divot in the handle. Regarding fire steels: all of the experts say that rather than holding the rod stationary, and scraping the scraper/knife down along it, resulting in your tinder getting knocked all over, it's best to pull the rod up, leaving the scraper stationary. That way, only sparks fall onto your tinder, and nothing knocks it away. Great video! Thanks for posting!

[@gadgetstop321]

Thanks for the tips, Scotty. And I agree, I would never go anywhere that I want to use my knife without taking a lighter also. I want to build at least one fire with a bow drill, but honestly, if I'm in a situation where I have to do that for survival, I'm probably toast anyway. 😂

[@blazel462]

The trick is to scrape a bunch of the firesteel material into the kindling before you make sparks…not too much, but enough to continue the sparking for a bit longer. Also, the motion to generate sparks is more of a rub than a strike…idk, works for me. Will give the pull up a shot next camping trip I go on.

[@Braun30]

I personally still use my dad's army issue knife, a Victorinox 1890 produced in 1931. Funny to think he got it issued brand new in 1951 when he went to his basic recruit school. The blade is a bit battered but still has a good edge.

[@gadgetstop321]

That's a nice family heirloom. 😀

[@sandrodunatov485]

very nice collectible knife. Perfect for what us knife enthusiast mostly do: to look at them. From a practical perspective it looks massively overenginerd .. but it still looks great. My oldest Victorinox, identical to yours I surmise (1989) is still sharp (!!..but I too had to change the scales), I have a number of SAKs to help though, so it aged well. Great products, whose price you start to really understand after 35 years of use.

[@gadgetstop321]

My little Swiss army classic was the only knife I owned for 30 years, so it has not had an easy life. Then 3 years ago I got a little Swiss army rally, and it lives on my key ring and is part of my edc. The classic now lives on my desk...and is freshly sharpened. A year ago I got a little Boker Kalashnikov and I realized that it's not the kind of knife for me because it's too pretty. It sits in a drawer and I've never used it. This Victorinox Venture is a knife, like my little Swiss army knives, that I'm not afraid to use. 😀

[@scottsyoutubeworld1824]

You're so right about just looking at our knives. But I have to admit that my knives, although rarely applied to their intended use, bring me much happiness. I don't know why, but I love opening the knife drawer, holding them, stropping, applying some oil to the carbon ones, putting conditioner on the leather sheaths (half have leather), etc. I just can't explain it.

You can use the sheath to blow the fire. Cover the sheath (rectangular shape) opening with your thumb, put the asheath over your lips and gently blow. The air will exit through the holes on the bottom of the sheath.

There is so much about this knife I just like. The real thing is being ambi. Since I’m left handed it’s refreshing to see a sheath design that is that easy to use. I like all the gadgets also.

As far as I know, they are having tours of the plant where they assemble most of their products. It should be mentioned on the website which time of the day you can visit the facility. I am in the official national knife builders guild here in Denmark, and every year, the organization arranges a field trip to a certain location with reference to a known brand or a special location that has an interest for users and members plus family or friends and this year the trip goes to Solingen. Next year, we might be going to Switzerland to visit Victorinox if there is interest enough to go. Greetings from an avid collector 😊

[@gadgetstop321]

Greetings! That sounds like a fascinating trip. How wonderful to be part of an organization with such an enjoyable tradition. I'm sure it's interesting to see how the various knife makers are similar and different in their manufacturing processes. 😀

[@cynthiaalvarado8610]

I get that they wanted to save weight with a plastic sheath but a leather one would be more durable (and less rattly). Glad you got a fire steel so you won’t need to use the dimple as the stick holder. I enjoyed this deviation video!

[@gadgetstop321]

I agree, it's nice to have a fire steel handy. I tried it with a few different fire starting materials and it worked great. I'm approaching this knife as a total novice, but I appreciate the modular nature of all the accessories. I wore the knife and tool kit on my belt yesterday and didn't really notice any rattling as I was walking and going about my business. Running or jumping causes some rattling, but that's noisy even without the knife.

[@grantdavis5992]

The whole "hollow handles are weak" is true, with one exception, the ColdSteel "Bushman" series which is the fullest tang fixed blade ever. The tang is formed into a tube, and it won't ever break using hand strength.

[@MikeBanks2003]

Swiss Army knife toothpicks are sold in packets. They are not supposed to last long. I built my survival knife from a part of a circular saw blade, and I did have a hollow handle of tubular steel. There were two main reasons for this, one is that it is lighter and made the knife easier to throw--not that I recommend doing it. I believe it is always better to have it in your hand, but the main reason I used a tubular steel handle was so it could double as a spear by slipping it over a shaft. I always make a brass or bronze hilt on my knives, so the hand can not slip down over the blade, as can happen if the blade is slippery from blood or oil. It also makes it easy to tie it over a shaft to secure it as a spear head. Making a knife into a spear head may not seem important, but a spear is a far better counter to an animal than a knife held in the hand, and makes it possible to use it to catch fish. I never thought of winding some fishing line on a stick and putting it into the handle, but it is certainly a great idea.

[@gadgetstop321]

That's a good idea! It makes sense that a spear would be useful in a survival situation. 😀

[@grantdavis5992]

Talking about seeing things advertised with "1-800" numbers makes me feel even older. I am old enough to remember the advent of "DDD" which is Direct Distance Dialing, which arrived in the early 60's with the use of Area Codes by the consumer. Until then there were only "operator assisted" long distance calls with the option of "person to person" (more expensive) or "station to station" (cheaper). That was about the same time that Zip Codes replaced the one or two digit "postal zones."

[@russellkeeling4387]

It's a nice looking knife. I like drop point blades but I would have to contain my judgement of the knife until I sharpened it so I could tell what kind of use I could get from it. The rest of the kit wouldn't be useful to me. I have been a hunter in the mountains of Colorado all my life and know what I need in the woods. When my son was young and I was teaching him wood craft and hunting big game animals I got us both fire starters. A magnesium block with a flint and striker. We learned to make fire in all kinds of different conditions but I found I could build a fire with a bic lighter kept in a plastic bag. Now I just have a waterproof match container in my day pack. I am seldom far enough into back country that walking out in one day is not possible. In my day pack I carry game bags, a good packable bone saw, cord to hold a harvested animal in different positions while I use the gutless method to dismember it. Very little else is needed. Oh, a small ceramic steel is always in the pack.

By golly you figured it out girly great job

Thanks, Terry! 😀

Looks like a pretty cool kitchen knife....

[@gadgetstop321]

It is! 😀

You need to sharpen that 33 yr old knife! At on point, your finger seemed to cut through that packing tape better. 😊😂 On another note, was it ever explained what the 20mm spade bit was for? I can’t imagine what that specific hole size is used for out in the woods.

[@gadgetstop321]

I know, that was so embarrassing! Honestly, I sharpened it right after I made the video. 🙃 I'm curious to see what projects Felix Immler uses the drill for. I'm just guessing it will be something involving a dowel joint. 🤷

My new favorite lady! 😊

Thank you! 😀

[@joemurray8902]

Nice kit!

[@gadgetstop321]

Thanks, Joe! 😀

[@volkerfritzopitz]

I thionk for Bushcraft the knife should be thjicker 4 top5 mm.

[@gadgetstop321]

I've seen some videos of people pushing this knife to its breaking point. I don't intend to push my knife anywhere near that far. I'm curious to see the projects Felix does with this knife. 😀

Yess, famous Felix Immler!

[@cesaravegah3787]

That is a very nice kit and unboxing

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! I'm enjoying it. 😀

[@shwartz166]

Thank you so much, it has been a great pleasure seeing your video and this new product I never knew about

[@gadgetstop321]

You're welcome! 😀

[@mattbrennan8088]

oh cool, I have not seen this model before. And havent seen the tweezers and fire steel- I might order one now

[@gadgetstop321]

I'm enjoying it! 😀

[@twhite19782012]

Great review! I do like that knife. Maybe you can use the sharpening stones in this kit to sharpen up that dull 33 year old pocket knife?

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! I'm enjoying this knife. And I will never live down unboxing a new knife...with a dull knife. 😂

[@twhite19782012]

@@gadgetstop321 lol! No worries! Just wanted to give you a bit of razzing.

[@sosteve9113]

I think they hit a jackpot with this one, I have my SAK when my daughter was born and where it on a daily base

[@gadgetstop321]

I agree. I'm having a blast with it so far. 😀

[@neverfallnewsmedia]

I have a "Swiss Army Skateboard" I would love to pitch to VicNox. A tactical urban survival tool. Bullet resistant.

[@gadgetstop321]

That would be awesome. 😀

[@DYalung]

love the knife wish can have this on christmas unfortunately not available in my country.....love the vid thnx for the share

[@gadgetstop321]

You're welcome! Sorry you won't be able to give this one a try, but if you check around you may be able to find something comparable. Lots of people have been suggesting their favorite knives for bushcrafting.

[@aarde7036]

Thanks for the review! I too am a Felix Immler fan, he is a great creative engineer, and this is a knife that I will want! About your dream of the survivalknife with the hollow handle... I bought a campingaxe from Fiskars, the X5, it has a hollow handle and I think it is fantastic, you can stack so much in it!! Would look and work great with the Venture 😍 Greetings from Holland

[@gadgetstop321]

You're welcome, and thank you for suggesting the hollow handle camping axe - that's a great idea! 😀

[@tracymilgrim616]

Holy crap , open the damn box already !!

[@gadgetstop321]

I'm trying! 😭

Love a woman that appreciates knives… 😎👍

There's probably a lot of us out there. 😀

[@jasonkay742]

looks gimmicky, although the auger attachment seemed to have potential, thanks for the review

[@gadgetstop321]

That's probably one of the reasons I like it so much. I kind of like gimmicky stuff. 😂

[@ralphnye664]

That’s is indeed a very interesting knife especially that excessery pouch 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎

[@gadgetstop321]

I'm really liking it. 😀

[@Krod50]

Beautiful knife❤ I use the Mora Garberg but I'm definitely going to get one👍🏽

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! I'm new to the knife hobby and wasn't familiar with Mora until people started recommending it in the comments. I'm eager to learn more about that brand. 😀

[@johnnyslagboom3094]

really nice video, I enjoyed watching it and made me also want this knife now.

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! I like it. I've been playing around with it outside as well as using it in the kitchen and it seems pretty versatile. 😀

[@spoede64]

The sheath issue should be solved for the new series, deliveries from January 2024 should be ok. That's what I understood from the latest Felix Immler video. He was also not happy with the rattlesnake-sound...

[@biekgiek]

Very nice video, thank you for the review. The sharpening stones remind me of a Chic-o-stic candy.

[@gadgetstop321]

Thank you! Hey, you're right, they do look like chic-o-stics. That reminds me of buying candy at the concession after little league games. 😀

[@ribstein7714]

Smart design on this model, wasn't familiar with it previously

[@gadgetstop321]

Apparently it's a new design. 😀

[@angiesyper8814]

Love your video. The knife is awesome too

[@gadgetstop321]

Thanks, Angie! 😀

[@YouTubeDoxedMyRealName]

That hook is called a "G hook" and the hook and loopon the back looks molle compatible.

[@gadgetstop321]

That's good to know. I'm new to this, so there's a lot of terminology I have to learn. I like your username/handle. 😂

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

Can you give the full name of Felix’s videos please so I can refer these to my husband and sons who love knives and outdoor activities? Thanks!

[@gadgetstop321]

The name of his channel is "Felix Immler" and his videos are so well done. He has mentioned that his wife does a lot of the camera work and he does a good job of explaining what he's doing.

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, you can still get the knife of your dreams for < $10. It isn't as bad as you would think.

[@gadgetstop321]

I do have a Harbor Freight fairly close, but I've never been inside. I usually go to Lowes, but it sounds like I need to check it out. 😀

[@Oddzilla51]

That's a spiffy setup! Will check it out! Thanks!
