Once you get a Swiss Army Knife, you'll want to get as many as you can.
I have 50 of them. I've carried one for over 35 years.
No no noooooooooo. Don't say that, I cannot afford them...oh NO!!!!. I can see how easy that would be. Thanks for watching, always appreciated
@@2ndchancegeorge yeah pretty expensive ride it is 😊
I just have 5 of them though
@sumanngon lol...for now ...6 coming....lol. I hear you
@@2ndchancegeorge 😂
I love my SAKs. Now you need a sheath and lanyard to keep it handy, but out of your pocket. Very nice knife at a great price. What a steal!
Lol...stop it stop now...this is a rabbit hole...wait a crater waiting for me to slip...lol. be safe my friend
I like the Super Tinker. Same thing but adds the scissors. Love the SPAM attire, btw.
Ahhhh, I was wondering about scissors. Should have looked more ...now I need that one...this is bad...the rabbit hole is pulling me in. Thanks for watching..SPAM for president..lol
I got the super tinker in 1990 for my birthday. It's the exact same knife but has the scissors. I carried it every day in a belt pouch for 30 years. Finally, when the scissors wouldn't cut anymore and the blade was half gone from sharpening, I bought a new one and retired the Tinker. I'm carrying the compact model now. I must say, the Tinker was the handiest knife I ever carried and gave me 30 years of service. Great little knife.
Yep no surprise there for sure. Be safe
Good review George
Can’t go wrong with a genuine Swiss Knife
My EDC and has been for the last 30 yrs I’d be lost without it. Take care , you got it at a very good price , George never mind the box put it in you pocket 👍
Lol...I need a box to hide it from view...the bad influence.....my cost me my life savings....just saying. Be safe my friend
Great video George, thanks for sharing it with us. Congrats on your new SAK Tinker.
I carry a Victorinox Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet multitool, and a Victorinox Huntsman pocket knife, every time I leave the house. Those two tools have come in so handy.
Someone told me I didn't need a saw on my pocket knife. But I disagree. When I'm walking around my yard (I walk with the help of a cane) and I see branches from my neighbors trees growing through my fence, I just take out my pocket knife, open the saw, and cut the branch off. That keeps me from having to walk around the house and down into the basement to get a saw to cut them. And I have used that little saw for a lot of different chores, it works great.
Yep. I am not a m7kti tool guy, BUT...these have my undivided attention....lol. thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated
Thanks for sharing George. Victorinox is a great company and their quality control is usually top notch. I have a pretty good collection of them…yes, I’m a SAK fan boy. Have carried one fir as long as I can remember which is pretty long 😂cause I’m old. I usually carry the Super Tinker but I alternate but the Super Tinker has been pretty constant over the years. Be safe ttyl.
"Fanboy" ......lol. I can see how that would be easy to become in a heart beat. I'm hanging on to my Rough Ryders with fear in my heart...lol. be safe out there
My first knife was a Victorinox Huntsman, I chose it because it has a wood saw, scissors and obviously blades. I do everything with it, it's a faithful companion.
I need to look at that, thankyou. Appreciate your support
Victorinox makes great knives. It's one of those rare companies that punch way above their price point. I have the Farmer Alox model (needed the saw for minor pruning since I'm a landscaper) and it's fantastic. If you wanna dive down the rabbit hole there are lots of videos out there on how to make custom SAKs. Great purchase George.
Very well made fun sure. No no...dont get Me started on that rabbit hole...lol..that could be bad....thanks again
The Farmer is a great model, probably my favourite. My kids got me one for 50th birthday with my initials laser etched into it. If I was only allowed one knife it would be the Farmer
@@71simonforresterI have to agree with you. Perhaps the Farmer X or the Hiker could be on that short list as well.
Lol...it will never end....just saying
@@2ndchancegeorge that's only a problem if you WANT it to end lol.
A truly awesome day for you, to relive the first SAK.
Yep, now I wonder if it was...lt could become expensive 🤔. Lol. Be safe
Hahahahaha welcome to the Victorinox rabbithole!
I always said I never needed one.
Then I got one.
And another.
And another.
And another.
Now I've got like 40 and I modify & customise them and I'm drowning in spare scales and I can't stop 😂
Run while you still have money in your pockets, buddy!
Arghhhh, now you tell me....it maybe to late he says digging in the wallet for the credit card....lol. be safe my friend
I carry a camper or a farmer in my pocket every day, normally in the watch pocket of my jeans with about 3/4" sticking out but held securely.
The camper has the tweezers and toothpick, and is lighter, but the farmer has the durable alox aluminium scales and the tools are all slightly thicker and more robust. Some models have a kind of lock on the big flathead/bottle opener blade, where when you push hard on it when using it as a screwdriver the blade move back an 1/8" or so and locks the driver open so it doesn't close when you're pressing hard.
They are very good knives, and few products have the look and feel of the shiny red scales. Thanks for the review, George.
Yep true story my friend
I use my top pop to open my cann jar lids. The large screw driver slid over thread to snug. Tipped to release lid. Still perfect to reseal! Nifty tool!!!!!!!
Ahh, nice. Thankyou. You be safe sir .
Hey George , the small flat screwdriver also works well on small phillip's head screws . the flat blade is also strong enough as a pry for paint cans
Nice, not sure about prying though. Thanks for watching 👍
All the wow’s George I think you are hooked on SAK. Wait till you see the others. I had SAK’s all my life. I do like the SAK Alox series. Thanks for another great video.
Lol..I did not realize how many times I said wow till I started editing....wow. 😆 be safe my friend
Enjoyed the video George. I’ve been carrying a Victorinox since about 1983 and still have that one. They come in 58mm, 74mm, 84mm, 91mm and 111mm sizes. There are also some others but not as common. Yours is a 91mm They can be addictive. For camping and outdoors use take a look at the Huntsman and Fieldmaster models. Take care and thanks for the video!
Thanks for the support. Good info, they have soooooo many options it's almost overwhelming...lol. be safe
👍 Good video.
As much as I would like to join “the big boy club” and carry a single blade knife (like a Sodbuster, Opinel #8 or #9, or a Buck 110) I find a need to the tools on my Victorinox SAK Spartan (a Tinker with a corkscrew instead of the 3-d Phillips head screwdriver - the small driver on the can opener works for me on most Phillips screws).
So, not yet ready for the step up to the “BBC” as I cannot give up my EDC Victorinox. 🤷🏻♂️
Lol...I get it. They work and do the job you need em for. Be safe
To make it your own you can take a very small round file and adjust the wire stripper so that it does also cut the isolation of a wire. Many instruction films on the internet about that. Then you can use it also as a striker for a fire rod. For EDC I have a Victorinox Compact with a very small flashlight attached to that.
Nice. Thanks for info. You be safe out there
Oh no! Wife is checking the carport table for new parcels daily! Got 3 blades so far. Mora.. SAK VIC Huntsman camo, Super tinker red and shsh, a white spartan in mail. Lol
You are in trouble...lol. be safe
That's a good choice for a first Sak. I've mentioned before that my edc is the farmer model. Lolol, I just started collecting the tinker model and the classic ! When I go for an ultra light trudge I carry a tinker in a neck sheath. Just saying ! Well done George !
Ps. Be careful which rabbit hole you go down ! Lolol.
Lol...true story...it's a deep one for sure. Be safe my friend
If you pull up the Phillips head driver, there is a small hole between the frame and scales that's for a straight pin. Just saying.
Great Video ! I have one I love it it’s a great EDC welcome to our world of SAK owners you will never regret it you will see once you get bit you will buy more !
Oh no....not what I wanted to hear....lol. thanks for watching, much appreciated
If I could recommend one channel to make you appreciate your new purchase it would be Felix Immeler. The stuff he can do with a victorinox! I watched one video where he turned a sapling into a pair of skis using only a victorinox, then skiied down a mountain on them! He's also a warm guy who makes you smile!
Wow....skies, lol. Thats awesome. I gotta check him out. Thanks for the info. Be safe
@@2ndchancegeorge You be safe too, especially with the awl on that Tinker!
👍🏼I only have one sak. It has a fish on it. I think angler. My mom gave it to me when I was about 12.
I never carried it but I use it at home and I always take it camping or working out of town.
O and I have the undisputed sak can opener speed record. 😆
Nice...speed...at my age it's about....well, jyst getting it open is a plus....lol. be safe
@@2ndchancegeorge 😆👍🏼
Tinker was my first regular size SAK.
Nice. I suspect alot of people started there...now like me I am hooked...lol
The one I have (the one I can find) is razor sharp. I use the toothpick more than anything. I'll find mine like yours someday, probably after I buy another one. Have a great day
Lol...they plan on that, well then you have a backup...for a backup for a ...and before you know it you own 2 of everything ..lol. be safe
I carried that version for many years until I lost it to the TSA! I carry either a no8 Opinel or a Victorinox - Swiss Army 3.9051 now days!
Yep, been down that road with TSA. Forgot I had it on my pack....dammit. like is one although scissors would be nice or saw. Thanks for watching, always appreciated 😀
Great review George you really made my morning. Memories of sharpening a pencil.😊
Lol..aint that the truth...felt like a little school boy again...lol. thanks for watching always appreciated 🙏
The Tinker is a great knife. There was a version produced by Wenger who was eventually bought by Victorinox. It is still by go too multitool. I should send you one. When the discontinued them, I bought several because they are great knives.
Yep. Big fan. The tinker makes for a great work edc for me. Thanks for the support. Greatly appreciated. Be safe
Depending on how much you want to rely on yours, 2 channels here on UA-cam to check out are Felix Immler, he's all things SAK and bushcraft. And Jony Fire, mostly SAK from what I've seen. The only 2 big things missing that most people seem to want on their SAK's are scissors, and the saw. But since you've said you usually have your Opinel handy, that more than covers it. My pockets aren't empty, but not overloaded, either. Leatherman Micra, Swisstech tool (if I remember correctly it's called the Turtle), and a 3" or so liner lock with clip that rides my pocket edge. Plus a fullsize Leatherman original tool and small Maglite flashlight for my belt. Plus carabiner for my keys. Sounds like a lot, but it has all come in handy multiple times.
I'll check them out for sure. Ouch that's alot of steel you carry..lol. be safe
George! It sharpens up really good !
Yep. Checked that. Thanks again fir watching. Be safe
Great knife and a great review. I like how you speak up. Your enthusiasm is very entertaining. And you are right, Swiss Army Knives are great tools.
I don't know if s.o. has mentioned this already: Behind the Philipshead screwdriver is a hole in the scale. That's for a pin. Great for removing splinters or as an improvised compass needle or whatever.
Have fun.
Yep I saw that. Pretty cool. Appreciate your support as always be safe out there
"WOW"😂 I have quite a few Saks. Watch out it you have a lot of them❤️💯🏆
Lol...nooooooo. I am in real trouble here now....be safe my friend
I must have a dozen or more in different configs. One thing about SAKs, they really take the abuse. I've used mine for everything from cutting huge rolls of heavy canvas to scraping battery terminals and the steel always bounces back.
Nice. Well I am impressed for sure. Thanks for watching
They make all kinds of belt clips so you hang your SAK outside your pockets. ❤
Yep just saw that..oh know...lol
i absolutly love my swiss army knife i carry the huntsman with the saw and sizzers no philip head
Nice. Miss the scissors on this one. Be safe 😁
I got my first Swiss army knife last month it's the farmer X version and it's fantastic
I am hearing alot about the farmer...hmmm, no don't do it...be strong....argh, I know I'm going to lose this fight. Lol. Be safe, and thanks for watching 👍
@@2ndchancegeorge get the farmer X it has a saw and scissors I use mine everyday
@@gareygerosky8030 The Saw is one of the best out there! No swiss army knofe without saw for me ;-)
The next Rabbit Hole: Try Swizza ;-)
I will never forget the first time watching your channel on a tablet up close to my face. And then you took a swing at my head. Well that woke me up. Back in the early '80s when I was in my early thirties I made my first camping traveling trip out of Canada, through United States down to the bottom of Mexico. I carried a buck 124 and a Swiss Army champ. Normally I don't carry a Swiss Army EDC but if I were traveling to another city or country the little tools on those knives could be very handy. Like you I prefer a single blade. I have something similar to your knife called a Mercator made in Germany. It is a sod buster style knife and I think the German Army used to carry it a long time ago during the war. You might like it so much you're going to get hooked on Swiss Army knives.
The largest is the Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife Giant at 7 pounds.
The half stop on the bottle opener, open it halfway, put a wire in the little hole and then open up the knife blade and you will trap the wire inside the little Groove to strip it. There is a guy on UA-cam called Felix who has all the Swiss Army tool tricks you would be surprised how many things you could do with that knife.
Lol....good combo...hete you go ... ua-cam.com/video/To-AUxEGNlM/v-deo.htmlsi=dmVz9OUHt4kyqHWB
Just saying we on the same page uou and me 😆
Your next one should be a model with scissors. As far as small multi-tools go, Victorinox makes the best scissors in the business. I carry a Huntsman and a small SD classic on my keys.
Yep, this was a spur of the moment buy....lol. with you there, gotta have scissors. Thanks for the support, much appreciated
Be careful George, you will want another sak with just one more tool then another and another. Take care.
Lol..I have put it in the drawer. Locked it...no not really. I cannot afford them. So until I win the Lottery.........be safe
Welcome to the party. The value on a SAK is amazing... kinda makes it difficult to justify some other pocket knives unless you have a use case that requires better edge retention.
If you ever get to try one with a saw you'll be impressed... like a camper
I am trying......with not much luck.....to not look at the options out there. On my budget I could be in jail by the end of the day...lol. thanks for watching always appreciated
I have one like that, but it got candy cane handles on it. It was an SMKW exclusive
Nice....
It’s a classic!
Good stuff as always George👊🏻
Thankyou sir
@@2ndchancegeorge
You’re welcome!
I have carried the Victorinox Climber for many years. Recently I upgraded to a Huntsman because I wanted the saw. Everyone I have ever handled has incredible quality control.
Yes they do. Excellent and well made. That's why they are who they are
7:40 - Don't think in this blade as cap bottle opener, but just a medium flat screwdriver, the opener is just... a "appendices" in the screwdriver. The can opener as a small screwdriver.
11:54 - Most people don't know how the SAK wire stripper work, their sides is at 90º, have some cut ability, so don't need nick the wire, just bend the wire down and pull in the other side.
Thanyou good info. These are beautiful knives and I got alot to learn about them. Appreciate the help and support. Be safe
I bought mine on Ebay
Nice, this was a spur of the moment buy...lol. now I am in trouble...lol.be safe out there
Those SAKs are awesome!! Great video!
Yes sir. Cannot beat them. Thanks for watching my friend, be safe out there
you forgot the wire stripper on the bottle opener its the slot used with the big knife
Yep looked it up...lol. many thanks my friend
Ive never had one. Im missing out!!!lol
Yep, I just realized that when I opened it up...lol
👍
If you need a box for the Tinker? Well, tinker one! 😄😄😄
Lol...may just do that....I tinkered a sheath for it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be safe.
@@2ndchancegeorge
Oh yes, I´ve seen the video! Good work!
Switzerland has 5 recognized languages or it did back when I was in school many years ago. You need to make a slip for it.
Ahhh, 👍. You read my mind....apparently they have pocket clips for em...to scared to look...lol...I'll just land up buying more. Be safe
Hey George 👊
The Tinker or Super Tinker makes a good EDC, for sure! 👌
The medium size just means 91mm, they also did a Tinker Small 84mm, but they discontinued it.

L..right now what....lol
Order incoming! Camohunt. Saw, scizorz, jug scraper hoho. Opinol 7 carbone. You are the man my wife warned me about! Lol
Lol..she's right...sorry. 😆 🤣
Holy cow where did you grab that for 21 bucks.. i saw a black version for 29.99.. i have a buck version of that.. the only thing I don't like about it is the thumb knail on the main blade i believe is very hard to get hold of.. great buy for you though.. congrats . 👍
Lol..totally random purchase. Was picking up supplies at Ace Hardware, and it was right there at the counter.. Discounted...lol. thanks for watching. Be safe
Welcome to the addiction!😂
Lol...thankyou...I think...🤔
@@2ndchancegeorge I recently bought a tinker small to add to the collection, but my personal favorite is the climber. I carry that near daily with a lanyard in a neck pouch. I use it for something nearly every day I especially like the scissors which I used today to cut some jerky into economical sized pieces for my dogs. You really should get a SAK with scissors when your budget allows. Great video once again. Best wishes!!!
Yep with you scissors are a must have.
Victoria was his mothers name.
Wow, ok that's some very cool info. Was wondering how the name came about. Thankyou big guy.
Теперь язык учить.I m subscribed
Thankyou. Always appreciated. You be safe
You need to make a little sheath with a belt loop on the back so you can tote it around without it bothering you.. lol assuming you wear a belt.. if not 😕
Made one already. Work edc
@@2ndchancegeorgegood deal.. hope you are enjoying it.. take care I'll keep my eyes open for your videos..👍🧐
@jamesbranham2217 thankyou. Much appreciated.. I have made couple videos with me making DIY sheaths for folders. Couple for my SAKs. Be safe
Do you have a pin space under the Phillips
@@Mackle-b3o yep. Got some from a sub in Germany. Sent me some accessories and pins
@@2ndchancegeorge just wondered as i ordered a tinker yesterday good to hear 😀
Doesnt they come in boxes?
Yes they do, but some are offered in these packages for the stores to easily show.
