This past year I canoed the BWCA for 8 days and took the Victorinox SwissChamp with me. I had many choices of knives and multitools to take but the SwissChamp had all of the tools I needed for this trip. The large knife filleted fish, the fish scaler scaled, the scissors cut braided and mono fish line, the sewing awl and pliers repaired leather shoes, the mag glass and tweezers removed a tick, the saw helped to prep kindling, the package hook lifted a teapot off the fire, the corkscrew loosened a stubborn knot. Need I say more?

I own 35 Victorinox Swiss Army knives and I love them all. I love their versatility, the high quality for a very affordable price, and the variety of materials and tools depending on the multitool. My favorites are the Alox's (Farmer X, Pioneer X and Cadets), the Rambler, the Climber (in white), the Compact (in blue), the Sportsman, and my Outrider. I often carry my Cadet and Climber in my bag, and my Rambler around my neck. I own many fixed and folding knives, and my Victorinox's are among my favorites. And I've never seen an Alox Rambler! I'd love one of those.

I love my Swiss Army knives. I have somewhere around 10 of them. They’re small, light (unobtrusive) and most average knife carriers don’t need anything with a super steel that they can’t replace if they lose or break it. Are they ideal for cutting cardboard 40 hours a week? No. But in a pinch they’re great to have if you pick the right one for you, and if someone around you wants a knife to borrow, they’re perfect for that too. People who need to borrow a knife don’t need to know about every blade i’m carrying.

The compression lock could be viewed as mechanically equivalent to the Tri-Ad lock, just using the liner rather than a rocker bar as the handle's moving element. 'Tri-Liner lock' and 'Liner-Ad lock' are options. Others: 'Top Liner lock', 'Side Liner lock', 'Squeeze lock'. My favorite, as it reflects both how the liner tongue fits between tang ramp and stop pin, and how its disengaged: 'Pinch lock'.

Hey DCA, Thomas & Seth. Really love the work you do. I'm here today to take a crack at giving the compression lock a generic name. My understanding is; a compression lock is nothing but a top mounted/reverse liner lock with a stop pin or "wedge" attached to it. When the knife is open, the stop pin/wedge keeps the knife open & the blade secured in place. So, if people starts calling it a "Wedge Lock" instead of a compression lock, I don't think anybody would have anything to complain about. What do you think?

Victorinox is the brand that is the go-to knife brand for a ton of people because it is the household name everybody knows. They're very widely available in retail and are the only knife brand most people will see and recognize growing up at one point or another. As such it has become the go-to brand for people who, for whatever reason, purchase a knife but don't possess any significant knowledge of knives and what makes them work. Sure the knives produced by Victorinox are of adequate built quality and are affordable but that is where their practical qualities end when compared to competition. The steel Victorinox uses in all of its products is of relatively low quality and heat-treated to be quite soft. The plastic and rubber used as scales in the majority of Victorinox's line-up are fragile and cannot be removed for cleaning or replacement by the consumer. The spring-action used in both the slip-joint and independent spring tools such as pliers or scissors isn't very strong nor are the springs durable enough for long-term frequent use. I believe Victorinox has become a victim of its success when it comes to the quality of its products, having become complacent with innovating with its products because they don't have to. Whilst other manufacturers have improved and innovated both with new materials and functions, Victorinox has sat idle. On the current knife market, Victorinox survives and thrives off brand recognition and the unwarranted brand loyalty of its consumers. I've personally carried a Ruike-LD51B as a multitool for about three years now and it outperforms an SAK in almost every way despite the product being based on that of Victorinox. Ruike has had to make a name for itself not through brand loyalty or lack of competition but through innovation and the quality of its products. The result is a line of products that, in terms of materials and practicality, puts Victorinox to shame.

That honey badger is most definitely a lambs foot-nessmuk a shame DCA missed out
In Germany carrying a knife without a „real“ reason has recently become suspicious. A craftsman yes, a hunter yes, a fisherman yes, but if a normal guy carries a knife people see him as a potential killer. Unless he carries an SAK. That’s probably one of the reasons for its success, it’s socially acceptable. And in former times in Germany there were very cheap peasant knives with wooden handles that were used by farmers and pretty expensive hunting knives with stag handles used by hunters. The SAK is mostly called „Schweizer Offiziersmesser“ (Swiss officer‘s knife) which generated an aura of noblesse around it. It has always been considered as a really „good“ knife. Most boys got it as a present from their dads or grandpas as their first real knife - so did I. That has also helped.
