@@chevy4x466 I am not the only one to mention the Explorer, It has all the tools of a Climber plus the inline phillips screwdriver. It is thicker but if you want a thin knife pick the Compact which is on his list. Besides when you get to be an old _uck like me you will appreciate the magnifying glass.

Old *uck here 🙋🏻♂️😂... I carried an Explorer for a very long time, then I found the pliers on a deluxe tinker very useful for my day to day... But I did miss the magnifying glass... I ended up getting a little Keychain magnifier I got at Ace hardware, is attached to the keyring on the deluxe tinker

@@NJRey The Deluxe Tinker is another great model with its super tweezers. That’s the problem with the premise of this video, the five best for who ? The ones listed maybe best for the author but not for his audience and there particular needs. Victorinox is pretty good at addressing a lot of different needs I think it is why most SAK owners have more than one.

I have the Huntsman for camping and outdoors. If I’d had a green or camo colour I’d have lost it several times. I have yellow, easy to see in the grass! Wish they did fluorescent orange! I’d buy those scales! Lol

The combo tool definitely works as a can opener. I’ve been purposely buying non-ring pull tins and blasted through about 50 with it. The corner Philips also works. I’ve wandered around my house dismantling all manner of shit just to test it out 😅

I was gonna buy a sak for the first time in years and i just recently found my old banged up mountaineer. Pretty much just the right amount of tools for urban carry since you wont really need a saw in the city so you have the file instead which is more practical. Gonna buy me some knipex and there you go

You’re the only other person that I’ve seen that changed out the stock pin with the ball head. I did that as well. Less likely to loose and easier to handle. I’ve done that on all mine. Also a note that everyone misses. The “small screwdriver” on the can opener is actually a 2D Phillips driver.

I don’t understand either. Not the world we grew up in, Jerry. Most guys at my high school had a very obvious belt sheath and a 110 and it was never an issue. I just got my first Victorinox since I was a kid too. It’s a Swiss Army 1. Just has a single blade and that’s it, so I’m not sure it really counts. I do love it though and the Alox scales are sweet! And I have a Floral/Gardening knife and a Pruner knife on the way… and they both have just single blades too.🤣

Great selection there Slippy, i still need to add a Tinker variant to the collection, maybe in black! I have a Fieldmaster, which i believe is the Huntsman but with a philips driver instead of the corkscrew. But the compact is the one I tend to pull out the drawer, a perfect all-rounder for me.
