Compelling Pocket Knife for $30 (Roxon KS2)

[@paaao]

I just bought this thing to have something with good scissors that's smaller than the phantom, and after receiving it today, the pics, and videos don't do it justice. This thing is beautifully designed, and mine was tight as a button. My 4mm bit kit from the phantom works perfectly on top the phillips head tool, and I've customized it for my needs. Top notch. I've owned lots of tiny EDCs as well as various victoriknox, leatherman, gerber, tools for backup at work. This is now the backup. Great job roxon.

[@richarde1355]

Good stuff! What tool does it backup?

[@larrya197140]

Roxon is very nice, but no way a Victorinox killer not even close. Victorinox has its own style far superior on the eyes, and top notch mirrored implements, Victorinox will always be in a class of its own.

[@maxlvledc]

Of course..but doesn't mean Victorinox should remain complacent

I agree completely, looks like it would sit like a brick in pocket

I have two swiss army soldiers knives , they are without doubt the best knife I've ever carried, especially for work. Love your videos man 👍

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

*In 2014 at Menard's, I bought a Leatherman Wingman for $9. Menard's stopped carrying Leatherman brand and had a deep closeout. I went back the next day and bought the last one. I love that it isn't too big, it's ergonomic and has a pocket clip. I prefer that over a belt holster. I think I got the deal of the century.

[@Glorfindel_117]

I've had the Roxon Phantasy for.. Oh it must be 8 years now. It's incredible. I use the utility knife/box cutter the most for work, but switch out to the clip point blade for day to day use. Only 2 issues, one of which is a good thing, and the other I have fixed. That being the lock on the liner lock where it touches the swappable blades easily grinds away from the friction of opening and closing the knife repeatedly. I can now hold it by the blade while its closed and flick it open, but it still stays closed and I dont worry of it opening by mistake. The other is that the 2 nubs for the locks to take the handle apart stick out juuust a bit from the handle, so they catch on stuff and I have often had one end unlock and mess up the opening action. I used to clip it to my belt loop so it was exposed, and catching on stuff. Now I've made a leather sheath for it, so only the bottom lock is exposed but is now no longer touching anything because of positioning. Highly recommend, if they still sell it.

[@cranstonsnord4334]

Roxon now makes an elite version of this tool with D2 steel on the blade for $38.00 and it also includes the bit set. I just received it, and it looks like a winner!

[@Foxfire1776]

The scissors sold me! I putter in my garden a lot. These seem a perfect pocket tool for me for dead-heading and sniping; any simple cuttings, etc.

[@Exane22]

Very interesting offering from Roxon! I would really love to see these types of tools offered with non-blade options as well, or the ability to replace the blade with something else (easily). I always feel like the blades on these tools are just barely "good enough" and I will typically just go to my pocket knife. It would just be great to have another tool instead of another knife at times, especially when trying to keep my pockets light.

[@simonh6371]

So true you know if Gerber made an Armbar drive with locking driver and no blade I'd buy it in an instant as there are very very few affordable bit drivers out there. Carried with a Spyderco (in my case the Urban as my country doesn't allow me to EDC a locking blade) and Knipex Cobra XS that would be a great little toolset.

[@Illfaded11]

The big scissors are super cool, but it'd be nice to have an option where the knife is scissors and the scissors are pliers. Still a pretty good loadout selection

[@edstringer1138]

I feel the same way about the blade , I carry better cutter Id rather have the tool

[@11_EVERYTHING_OEFx2]

My first impression was how it looked similar to the Lockdown series from Gerber. The Lockdown Driver and Lockdown Pry both have similar shapes and tools to this Roxon. Personally I very much enjoy my Lockdown, especially out in the field or in the shoot house. So this Roxon is definitely worth a look.

[@TorianTammas]

My grandfather gave me my first Victorinox and it got through a lot and is still perfect like on day one. On a daily basis they do the job with swiss precision as I usually have one with me. So good luck to Roxon, but so far they did not persuade me.

[@heart4Pahoa]

While I own and really like Leatherman tools that I purchased when I was single… now being a single income family man, future purchases will more than likely be Roxon.

[@golfhound]

Victorinox has been around and perfected their tools for over 150 years. I've been using their pocket knives since 1960. They are the "Rolex" of pocket knives and you can't go wrong with them for quality and price. I've tried others and NOTHING matches the quality of a Swiss Army knife. They also last forever if treated with care. I still use one of my older models which is 40 years old. It's still like new and I take it with me everywhere.

[@maxlvledc]

[@dionst.michael1482]

I’ve got such an affection for Swiss Army knives despite owning some beautiful premium steel folders. If I had to only pick one single edc for the rest of my days the choice would be as easy as pie at least for me. And it will always be Swiss Army ❤

[@golfhound]

@@maxlvledc I watched the entire video. When you had to tighten the blade on that Roxon, I almost stopped the video. You proved to me by the end of the video that the Swiss Army knife is the way to go. Especially since Victorinox offers dozens of different models depending on your needs.

[@1947wdx]

I have a different Roxon with just the scissors and a blade. The scissors are great to start out, but get messed up fairly quickly. I've had mine for about a year and have only used it to cut cord and occasionally prune tomatoes. Nothing that should be nicking the scissors, but they are are starting to not cut well due to all the nicks. The blade doesn't hold an edge very long either. So both are probably made of fairly soft material. Better to pay a little more and get something that will hold an edge. The blade on mine also has that play you showed. I've tightened everything up and still it wobbles. Yes it's cheaper in most cases, and the scissors are nice for a while, but I'm looking for something better...

[@SeanPat1001]

Thank you for this thorough review. Two things that bothered me about the featured tool were that the pocket clip seems a little too small and all those screws. I just imagine that at least once a month I’d have to tighten all the screws up.

Great potential!

They all have great tool sets. I love the G10 (if that is what it is) on the Roxon. As far as weight goes I really do not care. These are small tools and the slight difference in weight will make no difference to me really. Thanks for the video!

My dad had his Victorinox knife for over 40 years and since his passing I've been using it for a further 4 years... it's still pristine and the only part of it that's visibly used is the blade as it's been sharpened so many times that the blade is probably 3mm narrower than it originally was. Can you honestly see these new knives lasting for 40-50+ years?

[@irmuggle]

I love these knives And the multi tool this company puts out. I love how the blades can interchange and if you break a blade. You can always just carry extras to either replace a broken or Double blade. Also the designer of the block song must be left handed because I always have to move the pocket clips to the other side

[@pueblodove]

Us left handers deserve our own tools!

[@seilah8]

If you think about the system they use to deploy the tools, and not only on the blade, it will make sense why the pocket clip is where it is. The pocket clip would render impossible, or way difficult to use the push/pull for deploying or unlocking the tools.

[@beezwaks]

I love the tool selection. I often find with victorinox is the combination of tools that I actually want is never in one unit, it's always like 3 tools I'd never use and one or two that I love. I'd love company to offer a choose your combo.

[@muhsinmalek3953]

Victorinox is still the most reliable tool. The scissor is so precise and it can trim nail so well. No other multitool scissor can do that. I still carry other multitool though with SAK, nextool flagship mini just because the small plier is really handy for a bit more leverage on daily basis work

[@kingofgames908]

Usually some companies will put the knife (when it has a thumb pin) toward the clip so it sits facing the inside of the pocket and prevents accidental openings

[@TheStoyanbahchevanov]

Hi, lately Roxon has great designs, just needs little more refinement. I know in US you can get cheap SAKs second hand, and if you are patient you send it to Victorinox and they'll make it new, that's what they've done with my Handyman, free of charge, I just paid to ship it. And I found it 20 years ago, didn't buy it. With my Free P2 I've had same issue with opening the blade, so I've loosened the spring and it worked. I've sold it now and just got MX Clip, I love it. Cheers 👍

[@Aco747lyte]

A most interesting, thought-provoking video! This Roxon KS2 reminds me of Ruike M42, though they make a smaller M32 for about a tenner less. I'm in the UK, so perhaps Ruike isn't being sold in the US. Still, it holds a great many tools similar to your Roxon. I suppose it's a matter of price and requirements. At home one of my daughters finds her Roxon scissors and blade very useful. I think she said of paying about £20 for it and 2 years later the scissors still cut well as its blade.

[@mannihh5274]

Now they have a KS2Elite with a D2 knife blade, 5Cr15MoV scissors and 1.4116 for everything else, in addition offering a bit extender for just 43€. For the lenght of the handle, the blade is quite short, but I love its shape, can easily grind it to a scandi, my outdoors favorite. Not sure, how well you could drill a hole with the reamer, bur the saw is ok and the scissors are OUTSTANDING. BTW: if you find it cumbersome to deploy the blade, notice, the scales are thinner there, you can easily make bigger cutouts with a Dremel rotary sandpaper wheel

[@Jesusandbible]

I just bought x2 Victorinox Farmer X multitools. The scissors of Swiss Army are brilliant, and I find the reamer very useful.

Its fun listening to knife people making up scenarios where they can use the knife even though those scenarios will never happen.

[@insanogeddon]

Women will LOVE this if ROXON make them colorful fun/cute as they love scissors but they need to make it curvaceous just make sure to keep the scissors, nail file and a package opener. Women are 50% of the market and tend to buy more yet generally don't carry multitools because they aren't cute/fun and if they are they use nail nicks which bugger up nails that took them effort.

[@carlopoli9067]

2:05 Not a great start...I totally agree. Thank your sincerity! I appreciate this video especially for the very sharp enlargements that highlight both the flaws and merits of this Roxon.

[@benharris6996]

Fun fact: there's a pair of tweezers in the scissor handle! I haven't used it much yet, but I quite like mine. Can confirm, awesome scissors, which was a big part of the draw for me. Mine actually came with zero play in the blade; maybe you got (un)lucky with quality control, or if it was a common thing, they may have already addressed it, or maybe I got lucky lol. The blades thumb stud could use some more texture. I find myself slipping off it and bumping the knife edge frequently. The Phillips is a little too small for #2 screws, and I'd like to see a design like the Victorinox inline phillips, but the way they squeeze a 3D head in there with the awl/reamer is excellent. I'd rather see a large flathead than the openers, and maybe a larger file or something in place of the saw. Just not sure I'm likely to have this tool in a situation where I'd need a (tiny) saw.

[@SussexEDC]

Interesting little multi tool. I don't know if it's a Victorinox killer, especially considering that quality issue at the start. But I'm feeling it might be a T4 killer. At least at that price and taking into account how similar the forms are. I got a Super Tinker a couple of weeks ago and can't recommend it enough.

[@mysticmoose6123]

It is supposed to have tweezers (standard crappy tweezers) but doesn't say where it is. Also interesting to note is the saw also has a potential hole punch that could be used for belts or other leather, undoing knotts, or if you grind it down a bit you could use it as more of a traditional awl/hole punch into wood and metal. Oh and the hole in the AWL is meant to be a threader. could although with that blade being sharpened like it is you could end up cutting anything you try to thread. There really is a lot of potential with this guy

I'll take this over Vic fieldmaster even if Roxon had a 3cr13 blade, just for the two liner lock, (it had 5cr15?, that's bargain). because one day, sooner or later, a slip joint will accidentally close up on to your knuckle, I said that sincerely, because less than 12 hours ago my Vic sportsman just did exactly that.

Roxon makes some possible Leatherman competition budget options with their (modular!) multitools, but swiss army knives are so light, good looking, inexpensive and high quality. Just straight up classics. I'd put a washer in the main blade and carry this, but I'm thinking I'm content with my victorinox huntsman or s18 which is like a Wenger style field master.

I edc the free t4 because I really prefer a locking blade and use almost daily the large flat driver. Have to say I love the scissors on the roxon. The only negative I see on the t4 is the scissors. I’ve tried to tinker with mine to improve them with no luck.

Competition is good and as many brands in this game as possible the better, but i don't think that any brand will ever dethrone Victorinox. It's a mixture of stablished superiority trough experience and down-to-earth realism in approaching everyone's needs. Also, given the growing community of modders nowadays anyone can have a Victorinox more fitting to one's purposes and tastes. All that said applies to the knives; i didn't mention the superb SwissTools. The sole thing that can affect Victorinox is Victorinox itself - by the dangerous decision of discontinuing models, for instance.

[@comefuego]

Roxon is a game changer into budget segment

[@zikkuraorgannon6680]

honestly, for me victorinox is a little bit overglorified. I mean, yeah, they are great, they can withstand a lot compared to other multitools, but if you are starting to abuse them then they die just as easily, so i would prefer something cheaper but somewhat close by quality and repairability. Not to mention Roxon probably the only one in the industry who makes such large scissors! And for me they are much more usefull in large size than smaller ones. And althow i havent tried their KS2, im currently using their phantom s802, wich is also comes with their scissors and same blade, both of which are feeling great! (I dont use them to scrape of wood or something like that, but cutting rubber, insolation, food, cardboard and plastic and the blade is fine! )

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

The boxy shape of the Rokon is appealing for some reason . Using Chinese 5cr mov is not . 8cr would be a better choice , but it in no way can approach the steel chemistry, heat treatment & surgical steel properties of an SAK . I like your review and all the best in future endeavors.

Threaded fasteners are aka threaded unfasteners.. it being loose is no surprise. Itll wiggle loose with time movement and vibration. Victorinox uses press together pressure fitting much less likely to fall apart.

Try it. 3 seconds flat.) everything with my blade. I have never used anything on these knives. The blade is the tool, the rest is just toys. For the last 30 years I have only carried good quality, strong, single blade folding knives and that is it. It gets used 20 times a day and people around me also ask to borrow it. You just dont need to fill you pockets with 5 oz chunks of steel you never use. My favourite and only EDC is the Syderco Delica. It has a man sized tang/scales and at 2 oz, you dont even feel it in your pocket.

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Respectfully disagree about the clip. It depends on whether you are clipping the tool on the *inside* of a pocket, or on the outside of a pocket, belt, etc. The presumption is that the user is right-handed, as most will be. If you have this installed on the outside (such as on a belt), the placement of the clip makes sense. With it installed externally, the user will reach "down and over the tool", and the clip will be opposite the palm side, while the knife will be by the thumb for one-handed opening. I'm 100% sure their engineers considered this and decided to offer a tool that would be readily grabbed from the outside of wherever it is hanging. And there is no hard and fast rule about "where the pocket clip always goes" -- it is a matter of design and decision. A better solution in gerneral is to have a clip that can be installed on either side. And the best solution of all is to have a clip that can be installed on either side at either end.

[@AT-ck1tl]

The blade on mine was perfect out of the box. but after some days i was able to flick it and it's very satisfying now. The irony is that i don't have any knife that use washers and now i think i like washers more than bearings. Also, you missed the tweezers because they're hidden in the scissors handle.

[@MeMyself-jz9ms]

They should completely dispense with the rubbish blade and replace it with a dedicated 3 sided file, like the leathermans. And then the cross head driver should have been 3D all the way down the shaft, so it has more torsional strength, because the main point of these pocket tools without pliers, is to provide a quality pocket X head driver, and a business like file. We can all get hold of a lightweight pocket knife of our choice. That’s not what this tool is carried for. But I love those scissors! Proper size scissors would be wonderful. I wish my leatheman edc bladeless Rebar had replaced its blade with a large pair of scissors instead of leaving a gap and keeping the puny scissors..

I’ll keep my Victorinox.

2:44 had to smile at this 😂

Hello, The tweezers are on the handle of the scissors Very good review and comparison with other multipurpose knives

[@johnstewart1266]

I spent the extra 8 bucks for the bit set. Nice tool.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

Seems to be engineered to not need all the lumps and bumps on the outside of the grip! What elegance!

[@thisiserich]

I’ve got to be honest, I really have no idea what Leatherman has been thinking with their latest offerings. They need to redesign their scissors from the ground up and figure out how to make compact tools that are just as sturdy and useful as their bulkier items. There is no reason they couldn’t create a double sided pocket knife that’s as slim as the victorinox compact but with more tools.

Your 10000% correct..and I have no idea what they are doing.

[@bugstomper4670]

That 'reamer all' is sharp because it might be acting as a box opener blade too.

[@MrDemocraticlover]

Looks like it’s a fisherman’s multi tool, you can tie hooks with the scissor handle

[@tinkertalksguns7289]

Useful and informative. I'm going to consider the Roxon.

[@thomasw.6945]

i like that blackone very much ... (nothing can beat victorinox in their perfection thoug)

[@StepDub]

Looks a bit bulky and the edges are square. On of the problems with a moderately heavy piece of metal is that it can quickly knock a hole in your pocket, if you carry it frequently.

[@stufoo]

that play on the blade was a dead giveaway that its just a nicely packaged toy
