@@JunkyardFox Good thing that, I sure will check out! Noticed that you have a few Mora on review and since I'm from Sweden 🇸🇪 myself obviously I will have to see what you think about them! I've grown up with Mora knives, everything from being a boy scout to the military service to now having a Mora Bushcraft for around campfires and such. Funny thing how you easily miss what you've got just around the corner cause to me it's always just been a standard knife and the Swedish Fällkniven the stuff of dreams. I've recently started to reevaluate my view of Mora and gained a lot more respect!

At 07:24 you said you don't know what steel Victorinox uses, I'm happy to help you with that. Here is the official answer from Robert Elsner himself ! Thank you for your e-mail and participation on Baselworld 2013. I am sorry not to have replied earlier, which I greatly regret. However, I am pleased to answer your question. The Victorinox laboratories incorporate the latest standards of engineering. They guarantee that only steel and plastic, which comply with our rigorous quality standards, are used in the manufacturing of our products. The steel consists of special alloys, which possess those material characteristics that are most important for the respective field of application. We use a stainless steel alloyed with chromium and molybdenum to make blades for pocket tools (SAK, SwissTool etc.) and household knives. Material DIN Used for… 1.4110 x55CrMo14 Blades 1.4031 x39Cr13 parts 1.4021 x20Cr13 springs for other Victorinox knives 1.4034 x46Cr13 blades Material short name C [%] Cr [%] Mo [%] V [%] 1.4110 x55CrMo14 0.48-0.60 13.0-15.0 0.50-0.80 ≤ 0.15 x high-alloyed 55 0.55 % carbon Cr 14 % chromium Mo molybdenum V vanadium Hardening makes knives hard, elastic and provides them with the edge-holding ability. The more carbon the steel contains, the harder and sharper it can be made during the hardening process, but the less resistant it will be to rusting. Conversely less carbon makes the rust resistance better but the edge-holding ability worse. Steel becomes stainless when it is alloyed with at least 12 % chrome, which must be dissolved in the basic matrix. The hardness of the steel is tested using a Rockwell testing device. After hardening and annealing, the blades have a hardness of 56 HRC. In principle, the greater the hardness the better the edge-holding ability of the steel. But this also depends on the particular geometry of the blade. As the Rockwell hardness increases the steel also becomes more brittle and prone to fracturing.

I have a very similar Victorinox, Mine is the Delemont Collection Ranger 58, the 59 is the same except instead of the Philips, it has a Corkscrew which you can use to untangle paranoid.

Very similar though, I have it in a pouch and I always use it as a back-up when I use my Lite Trio for my Afternoon Delight a hot cup of coffee on the open fire and a baked potato or other eats, My Trio consists of my Mora 2000, my Mora Hatchet and a Baccho Laplander all match in color even the pouch which I carry all, and plus the other C's in a makeshift haversak I made from a flap over Five North camo purse which looks masculine and heah, it works, The knife I carry on person, and besides it's better than going to Micky Dee's for coffee and fries.

I’ve been close to buying this knife a couple of times now, I really like that it doesn’t have the wine corkscrew. I think those are completely useless items to carry. The things that have stopped me from purchasing it is I like the easy open blade like your original, but I hate the serrations and secondly they do not offer any kind of pocket clip. I have a bad habit of losing anything without one and have just become used to them on any kind of folding multitool. Maybe one day they will offer a variation with those changes. Other than those two items and I would happily carry one. For now it’s a Leatherman for my edc. Great vid and I like the idea for the review ring.

Thanks for the video, Its nice to see someone actually putting the Victorinox through its paces, good job. I think I prefer the Trekker you featured over the OHO version. I like the blade and profile more and I hate serrations. I usually carry the 91mm Ranger It has all the tools of the trekker plus a couple more and pocket friendly, although the blade is a little smaller than on the Trekker but hey theres always a tradeoff. Victorinox steel may be soft but its tough and folds rather than breaks and is very corrosion resisitant. Especially around salt water, dont take a leatherman down to the beach my Rebar rusted like crazy. Anyway thanks I subbed from Australia.

Check out the Victorinox Spirit Multi Tool. It is the absolute best Multi Tool out there and besides that it has a great pair of pliers plus a chisel that is perfert for a ferro rod striker. I have two Trekkers but no longer carry one after discovering their Multi Tool. I wish you lived closer, I have a very special EDC knife, a Cold Steel Holdout 1, that I modified to open as you pull it from your pocket. The blade is about 6 inches and yet it looks like any other knife that you see many people carrying clipped in their front pocket. The locking system on this knife was tested by Cold Steel and held a 325 lb. weight. I bought both of these products off of E-Bay.

@@steveharaldson7518 So I actually picked up a One hand Trekker and its a totally different beast. I personally like the s.s. they use on SAKs because it is super corrosion resistant. I used one throughout a ceramics class for cutting and shaping wet clay. It never developed a spot of rust. Leatherman uses 420 I think which works well for what it is. The one hand trekker is a whole lot lighter and I've enjoyed it. It won't replace a leatherman but its a good option when you don't need pliers.

I've had that knife for over ten years, but I found out early on that it's a bit too large and heavy for me to carry it around as an EDC knife. It's also a bit intimidating if you pull that thing out in an urban setting to peel an apple or something like that. So I got a Victorinox Cadet, which I always carry in a pocket in my pants. It's very unobtrusive and the smaller size is perfect for smaller tasks. I still have the Trekker, but it sits in my backpack most of the time. I'm still glad to have it, though, because those two knives complement each other nicely, TBH.

Oooh! What a great idea for the bottle opener, making a striker surface. Where did I misplace my metal file? IMHO the Vic can opener is the best on the market, and I have used a lot of different designs. A bit of practice and the only opener that will be faster is one that is powered.

@@JunkyardFox This week I received my RangerGrip with straight blade and corkscrew. Added a eyeglass screwdriver because I carry one of those in every corkscrew equipped SAK I own. Absolutely LOVE this knife. Grip, feel, control, size fits my hand and that added length on the saw makes it SO much more useful than the traditional saw. In a cloth sheath and on my belt daily. Your Trekker review got me really interested in the 111 size knives, the only one I owned was a specialized Helmsman that I only carried when sailing. Who needs a marlinspike when not on a sailboat?

There is a specific way, involving the main blade and the wire stripper being used together to use the wire stripper. Can you or someone on your group research that and show people how to use that thing properly?

Thanks for the video. Do you prefer the serrated edge knife blade on the Terreker or the plain edge knife blade? Thanks.

Great video! I lost my Centurion while surf fishing and might have to replace it with this one. This knife looks a little thicker though, any comment on how it compares in thickness to the Centurion and how it feels in the hand?

I like this blade better than the one hand opening version with the big hole. Bought 2 when I seen them available.

Awesome video we don't get to see the tools in use often so it was great to see. I'm opting for the one handed trekker thanks for helping me know it's a good choice. I subbed and shared your video was also cool to see some of new Mexico I've never been down south besides Florida.

i love the trekkers. both the one handed and classic are unbeatable. i use the serrated one handed version for edc stuff like cutting boxes and plastic etc. then classic one while out in the wild, but i never leave home wthout one on my belt.

Since you edc the one hand trekker, how does that cut through fish with the serrations vs the one you used in the video. Thanks

Really nice review, I like the way you did it! :-) I had a Forester some time ago which I traded away ( great knife, I prefer the corkscrew, but it lacked one hand opening and the one hand version was serrated IIRC, another thing I dislike) but thanks to your review I found out about the new (for me, at least) Forester M. Thanks! :-)
