Awesome collection..I’m sure you know this now, but the super tinker (all the tinkers) has the screw driver instead of the corkscrew, so that’s actually a Climber you have there. Thanks for the tour!
Great collection, I ended up giving all my Victorinox knives away to friends that didn’t have one. I decided to look in all my knives in a drawer and only found one, so I started bidding on some knives on eBay and buying knives on ETSY. I also ordered new scales to change out some of the 91 mm knives I have coming. So far I have received 3 and after washing them in hot soapy water and oiling them only one was sub par. I hope the other ones coming in are as good as the first two.
My dad got me the Explorer for my 10th birthday, and over the years I've realized it has everything I need (and nothing I don't). I've bought 2-3 Explorer Plus' since then. It's a great tool!
Great video, thanks, I didn’t know the mini champ comes in a version with a light, brilliant to know, I’ll definitely be upgrading to that as the LED will come in so handy when trying to put my key in my front door in the dark, great collection 👍🏻
The Swiss Army knife you are holding at 0:40 is a Victorinox Explorer. I have the same knife, with the same type of damage: main blade broken and was reground. I refurbished it, gave new plus scales.There is only one slight difference: the knife I have does not have a utility hook between corkscrew and awl. It took me a while to research this. Turns out this Explorer without the hook dates from a time before 1991. Still, your collection is quite impressive.
Hi man, nice collection and good video! I can't wait to see the Alox part! Some small comments: - The one you showed between the Bantam and the Tinker, the one without back tools is called Recruit, I believe you said Rally. - You mentioned that the Spartan and Tinker both come in 84 and 91 mm. Yes, but for the Tinker they are just called Tinker and Small Tinker, whereas the small version of the Spartan is called Tourist. Just in case someone looks for it. - The knife you called a Super Tinker is actually a Climber because it has a corkscrew, not a Phillips. - What you called a medium flathead on the Swiss Champ is a chisel. - The last knife is called Deluxe Tinker (same as the Super Tinker + pliers). I guess you actually know all of this, you just made some mistakes. I'm just being a smartass because it might help others. Keep it up man, and make that Alox collection video soon! ;)
I own a Victorinox Manager. As a student and someone that spends most of his time in the city, it is a great everyday carry, comparable to the MiniChamp but slimmer!
I've loved Victorinox since my childhood. My favorite is the Explorer which rides in my EDC backpack. I also carry the very flat and light Victorinox nailclipper. Thank you for sharing your impressive and very cool collection!
Man I love your collection!!! Victorinox is the only folding knife I’ll carry anymore. By the number of knives you have you might just enjoy my history video on victorinox.
Hey on the Swiss Champ, you might want to give people a heads up to warn people... * DO NOT TRY TO USE THE MEDIUM DRIVER ON SCREWS * They might get hurt using a wood chisel incorrectly. He'll I've bled using it correctly on my Marlboro Swiss Army Knife. The biggest of the 5 models they made for Marlboro. **Skip the deets** owned all 5 styles originally but a particularly nasty and crooked landlord helped himself to most of my collectables and other belongings that I had locked away while I was at work. I still have this knife because it was always in my pocket. Anybody ever need a chisel and have it there on their knife before? I had to go out of my way to use mine. But I did use it often it for awhile. I'd sink it into thick bark on an evergreen and hang my backpack (lunchpail) and jacket on while working. I've had it for at least 25 years now. Thanks for the Swiss knife video. I'm subbing to your channel and will catch up when I can.
Wow! Puts my little collection of ten or a dozen SAKs in to perspective! My favourites are the Pioneer X and the climber. I have the Jetsetter on my key ring. Scissors are my most used tool, so a compact would be good. I’ve only done videos on the Pioneer and Climber so far. But I’ve done videos on a couple of dozen other slip joints.
I have a more varied collection and the last one you show is my favourite of all. Not sure what model it is but the current equivalent is the Deluxe Tinker, your's however has the plus scales to include the pen and pin. I fitted these to mine but also swapped the Phillips screwdriver (Phillips screws are never used in Europe) to a corkscrew taken from a cheap Waiter model. I then added the small screwdriver and pin. It's the perfect compromise of tools and size.
It's insane but then again in a kitchen most people have multiple cutlery and nobody takes any notice. I just bought an Alox Cadet and Pioneer Pruner today as that hawkbill blade is awesome. I think I've twenty something now!
I am very interested to know how you feel the translucent scales hold up to carrying in terms of maintaining overall nice aesthetics/cosmetics vs. solid color cellidor (?). You have many, so you should be a good person to ask, I expect. This issue affects my next Victorinox purchase, BTW. THANKS.
Well, obviously scratches are going to happen over time, but I think that the translucent scales hold up just as well as the cellidor scales. You would think that the translucent scales would get cloudy over time, loosing their luster, but I’ve got a number of them that have a few scratches and dings, but still look great. Plus, a few passes over a strop, and they shine back up pretty easily. I’ve replaced a few of my plain scales with the translucent scales, simply for the cool factor. Hope this helps
@@FWGlockGuy Yes, that does help. As you more or less inferred, I had wondered both about the eventual appearance of cloudiness and about whether you could buff out the translucent material's surface in some simple, repeatable, and reliably non-destructive way. So, thanks for that! I may have to try the translucent green for something different in a complementary color, if available in my eventual choice(s) of Victorinox model. It looks great in your collection videos, especially. I like the idea of some minor customization, too, and so I also wonder if you were able to remove existing scales non-destructively with some consistency (so that cosmetically good ones could be reused elsewhere as required). I know that reuse is considered 'off-spec' by the manufacturer, and what I've seen in other UA-cam videos dealing with this procedure presents a very mixed picture of success. The hot water soaking method, for example, seems especially dice-y and fraught with worrisome variables to me. Thanks!
Shame about the housing for the magnifying glass is plastic. Wenger it’s metal . Is victorinox steel tough, we know it’s soft but what are the steels advantages
Very nice collection, sir! Buuut....is the knife at 12:18 a Rally? Thought the Rally was a 58mm with the Phillips/cap lifter/can opener combo and the Classic SD's file/screwdriver piece. And one small blade. Just askin'....
The Older Red COMPACT with ribbed cork screw and no pin is called a " Golfer " quite collectable. See SAK Wiki. ( had mine confiscated by Spanish Airport Security. ( hence I bought a COMPACT )
+Simon Feeney I never thought of it being "golfer" since the modern golfer has the divot tool. As far as the hook goes, it is parcel hook designed to carry mail with a bundle wire. Something never used in the US. Thanks for all the info! I appreciate the interaction
Without seeing it, I couldn’t tell you. The IIF logo, could be just a company logo. Check out www.SAKwiki.com Its got a great catalog of Swiss Army knives. I use it all the time to help identify
Looked for North Florida girl on Instagram and can't find her. Like to follow fellow SAK enthusiasts. Why doesnt SAKs have their name on the scale or blade somewhere so as to avoid mislabeling the model?
Hey bud great collection. I want to buy a couple sak I live here in Canada. I want to know is victorinox.com a good website to get authentic knifes from? Is that their official site?
Yep, glad to see you're still expanding. I'm currently on an alox kick after a long affair with the cellidor models of which I've attained 50+. Not a huge cadet/classic fan, I mostly go for the Soldier/SI/Pioneer - that's keeping me busy for now. I'm in training on my video-making will follow in your footsteps and post of a video of the collection as well. Cheers!

I have that emerald scale on my Spartan. Gorgeous.
Great video, thanks, I didn’t know the mini champ comes in a version with a light, brilliant to know, I’ll definitely be upgrading to that as the LED will come in so handy when trying to put my key in my front door in the dark, great collection 👍🏻
Cool collection. The vagabond was always my fav of the smaller models
One correction, that "Rally" (84mm)is a Recruit. Cheers!

Erdinger Nullfast still one of my most used SAKs. Took it camping with me this week.
Hi man, nice collection and good video! I can't wait to see the Alox part!
Some small comments:

- You mentioned that the Spartan and Tinker both come in 84 and 91 mm. Yes, but for the Tinker they are just called Tinker and Small Tinker, whereas the small version of the Spartan is called Tourist. Just in case someone looks for it.

- The last knife is called Deluxe Tinker (same as the Super Tinker + pliers).
I guess you actually know all of this, you just made some mistakes. I'm just being a smartass because it might help others.
Keep it up man, and make that Alox collection video soon! ;)
+miklospinter thanks for the comments. It's been a while since I've looked and handled a lot of these. I guess my memory has slipped.
Yeah. And red celidor "Compact" without the hook is actually a Golfer.
+Parhelion F nice call! I knew that this was an older model, from possibly the early 1990s.
FWGlockGuy The Rally is 58mm with the combo tool with Phillips instead of the scissors ...
I so want to start a little swiss army collection
Wow, that's a pretty sweet collection man! Tbf, this is the first time I'm hearing about a Vic with a light on it. Sweet!
+Filip Young I'm. It sure if they are made anymore. It is a cool and unique piece!
I own a Victorinox Manager.
As a student and someone that spends most of his time in the city, it is a great everyday carry, comparable to the MiniChamp but slimmer!
The manager is a great EDC! I carried one for many years
I've loved Victorinox since my childhood. My favorite is the Explorer which rides in my EDC backpack. I also carry the very flat and light Victorinox nailclipper. Thank you for sharing your impressive and very cool collection!
The red one that you thought was the compact is called the Golfer . Great Collection and Video 👍
Yes, I learned that after this video. No hook= golfer. Better in my opinion. Silly useless hook 😂
@@FWGlockGuy I didn't know myself for some time . 👍 Loved the video and your Collection 😎👍
Man I love your collection!!! Victorinox is the only folding knife I’ll carry anymore. By the number of knives you have you might just enjoy my history video on victorinox.
I’ll check it out!

Do all cork screws come with mini drivers ... I bought three SAK and non of the corkscrew has that mini driver
No. Only the models with “plus scales” come with the mini drivers.
Love thise SAK's! The Compact is one of the best in my opinion. Nice collection!
I have a more varied collection and the last one you show is my favourite of all. Not sure what model it is but the current equivalent is the Deluxe Tinker, your's however has the plus scales to include the pen and pin.

Awesome knife collection
nice compacts, here in mexico they are like 50 bucks, kinda hard to find
Well this is the video they showed me an I looked to see ur most recent upload.
It's insane but then again in a kitchen most people have multiple cutlery and nobody takes any notice. I just bought an Alox Cadet and Pioneer Pruner today as that hawkbill blade is awesome. I think I've twenty something now!
Awesome collection really want to get a Swiss champ
Sweet collection of Vics!
thanks!
I'm going to start checking on used Victorinox knives on EBay!
You can find some great deals on eBay
Dont risk it, use the original swiss army website
amazon have around 700 victorinox's and quitcheap
Its not a super tinker its a climber silvertech i guess
Great video. I think the nail file at 3.30 might actually be a match striker.
According to SAKWiki, it is listed as both a nail fine/match striker
Thanks for showing your collection! very nice! Cheers, Bart

On the Mini Champ....the first blade was not a scoop but a fingernail cudicle pusher
I asked for a knife roll from man belt leather with the same specs as yours it's going to take a couple weeks but I can't wait!
Worth the wait, and Rudi does great work!
Wow that is a amazing collection of knives. Amazing

Great collection puts my 16 SAK to shame.
Great video!!!
When he open the box I was like: HOLY SHIT SWISS ARMY KNIFE ORGASM
+Grigori Rasputin Lucas McCron haha, Thanks! Been collecting a long time
You should get the climber that's also a nice knife 😃
+nitya goenka actually, I just picked on up! 😊

Simon Feeney i have a sportsman with ribbed corck screw what is it called or it is just a sportsman
everybody hating on the hook. i love the hook. never cn 1 with the nail file tho. thats awesome, as is ur collection
+Skank Hunt42 just never found a use for it. I'm glad they added the file to it. Great use of space!
I’m getting the explorer for Christmas
Amazing Collection!
+WeRunGuns - WRG thank you
You are even more addicted to these things than me .
i have one it has a logo IIF do you know what it means or what kind its black ? thank you
Without seeing it, I couldn’t tell you. The IIF logo, could be just a company logo. Check out www.SAKwiki.com Its got a great catalog of Swiss Army knives. I use it all the time to help identify
Awesome video! Nice collection!
thank you
FWGlockGuy your welcome! I only have 2 Swiss Army knives. They are really good multitools!
I was just wondering, where was the Huntsman?
Bradley14 I have 4
NOW THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE!
i mean knives!👍👍
Great vid and I love green, too...wish these emerald scales were easier to find, and you haave to get some hunter green :)
+M:Tronaut rumor has it that the 2017 Annual Alox color is going to be green 💚
FWGlockGuy I have been searching ,trying to find this out, how do you know? Thx ( COMPACT & CADET user )
FWGlockGuy ...yes, it actually was green, but honestly...I didn't like it at all. Would have preferred a much brighter, fresher green instead! :(
very nice collection! let me know if you would trade a serrated spartan. I could get you a Bavarian Spartan...any interest?
+Messer HQ message me. We can talk!
he also has a $12 ganzo to trade. dont ask him about the finger choil though, he will throw a temper tantrum.
Dexter Charles sorry Jason, already banned this guy from my channel
Good stuff........ Great vid
Thank you!
cool video this is the one ive been waiting for haha i just put up a video on my collection too
Ill have to check it out! I love collection videos :)
Got it right the second time around on the actual Rally. Sorry to bug, cheers!
where can i get one?
Is that bigger rally just called a rally? Cause I can't find anything on it 🤔
Wow super cool 👍🏻😎
Great Vid Ur Knives Are Awesome
+WonderousWolf thank you
very nice collection i have all crkt and gerber knives
+cj Cothran thank you
Looked for North Florida girl on Instagram and can't find her. Like to follow fellow SAK enthusiasts. Why doesnt SAKs have their name on the scale or blade somewhere so as to avoid mislabeling the model?
She is now Laura_edc.
I believe there is a stamp on the main blade to identify Victorinox or Wenger.
Supperb Very soon i will also uplod my vicronox colection and othe antiq knif collection
Your supertinker looks like a climber
Where's your swiss champ that is like 4 inches wide?
12:26 is a recruit, not rally :D
10.03 I have same model but it wanger I carry everyday
One youtuber has a video showing 79 uses for the hook. :)
+birdie399 yeah, I think I've seen that video. Still useless to me
And only two or three of them make sense. Everything else is something I can do much easier without the parcel hook.
This is very exciting to watch.
Hey bud great collection. I want to buy a couple sak I live here in Canada. I want to know is victorinox.com a good website to get authentic knifes from? Is that their official site?
yeah it is, but imo too expensive, ebay or any other website is fine
Nice knife collection for a glock guy
Jacob Trolio 😂 lol
Your super tinker is actually a climber ,but nice collection
+Rachael Hescott thanks
Does it have a cork screw or a Philip's?
You don’t seem to care about them getting scratched up the way you throw them around.
Celedor scales? Nope!
Watched the whole thing
You didn't have a Huntsman I noticed
Not a huge fan of 4 layer knives. I have one in alox, but it’s not as thick
I have a pocket knife but none of these are it
Hi, Do you happen to know how to find City Knife in Holland? Thank you!
+xu Susan no idea. Never been to Holland
FWGlockGuy No problem my friend, thank you for your information
FWGlockGuy BTW, Are you interested in SwAF city limited Edition?
+xu Susan no, thank you
me deciding to buy a swiss army knife :)...........me looking at the price :(
Very nice collection, but I prefer the smaller or slimmer, medium sized SAKs. That big fat one at the end, that's the joke in'it. Too many pies.
I laughed at the compact, that's my daily carry with, you guessed it, emerald green scales. you have my knife.
too much unnecessary knifes. you should have a huntsman instead of 3 compact
FWGlockGuy
could you consider giving me one of your many swiss knives or doing a giveaway please
I really want one ,
pleaseeeeee
I just have the Swiss army hiker and farmer
Asto Knight farmer is a great knife
I have the same pocket knife!!!!☺☺🙂🙂
And people say I have to many knifes
It's pronounced venger not wenger.
Ok, Karen
You have a problem and so do I
It was not spartan lite it was cybertool
+Charles Kemp-Jones false.
Spartan Lite: sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Spartan+Lite
Cyber tool: sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Cybertool
It is basically cybertool just without the pliers,scissors,pin,pen and mini screwdriver
+Charles Kemp-Jones so what you are saying is... it is NOT a cybertool
Yeah I am saying that it is not a cybertool and it is in a great vid
789th like from me 😊
Noted. 😂
you got the climber at 16:38 buddy!
+Cris Reyes thanks man. Too many to remember, I guess. 😂
not a problem man! nice video by the way!
These are all multi tools not knifes
Ok
Dig all your videos btw
+Swiss Army Dan thanks brother!
Yep, glad to see you're still expanding. I'm currently on an alox kick after a long affair with the cellidor models of which I've attained 50+. Not a huge cadet/classic fan, I mostly go for the Soldier/SI/Pioneer - that's keeping me busy for now. I'm in training on my video-making will follow in your footsteps and post of a video of the collection as well. Cheers!
👍
You could of just said swiss army
Why would I do that?
no alox
Alox of aLox 😜- different video
Can you send me one nife pleas I'm your biggest fann
Send me one victorinox knife brother. Just think about sending me one knife with your name on it, all the way to India, it will be a beautiful memory
