I love these SKA nerd sharing videos. Everyone is different. Great to see the 580 get some love, for once. I keep one on my car keys for my kids (and myself, because I have kids and it's hard to take care of yourself when you have kids).
I also keep a Mini Champ and Deluxe Tinker around my urban areas and a Ranger in my garage for the backyard and woodland areas.
Sounds like a great well thought out collection. And I definitely don't see enough of the 580 around. I think more people should try it out.
The Deluxe Tinker was great but I wanted something a bit slimmer for pocket carry so got the Super Tinker. I'm a fan of Victorinox pliers even though many don't like them.
you have the scissors in your SwissCard Lite in upside down. They snap in when you put them in correctly with the lever on the up position. They were designed like that to snap in place and hold
You're right. Thanks for the tip. I learned years ago that both sides kind of work so honestly out of laziness I just stick it in there 🙂. I pay more attention to the blade orientation since it has a dimple and a logo that reminds me it's upside down.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I bought a Victorinox Ranger when I was in Zürich last year. It's been a useful tool to have around.
You're damn right about the scissors, by the way. You expect them to suck based on size alone, but they just don't!
The metal file also files metal quite well.
The blades are kinda soft. They don't keep an edge for too long. But they're also quick to touch up.
I've never tried the large file from Victorinox so glad to know it works well. That's what the Ranger has, right?
The scissors are amazing. But careful for those Wenger scissors. Very good but not the same as the ones we're used to.
I agree on the blades but they're easy to keep sharp, even the tiny ones. You can probably tell I'm a fan 🙂
@@AboutThings_byTarif I don't know what they would call "large", the marketing w@nk calls it a "metal file". It's about the size of the wood saw next to it. I used it on what I think is mild steel - no noticeable wear.
By the way, I just confirmed tonight, the wood saw saws wood. Works about as well as the metal file. I've yet to inspect it for wear, but I don't think there will be much. Obviously not as effective as a big dedicated wood saw, but for a pocket multitool the fact that it cuts real wood (none of that pressed and glued sh!t) at all is quite impressive, much more si when you consider how well it performs.
I completely understand why you're a fan. Same reason I am. Most of us are used to being taken for a ride by multitool marketing. They promise a tool that does something, but it never _really_ does it all that well. These Victorinox ones on the other hand are actually genuinely competent. Not amazing at a particular task, but always more than adequate, and adequate is perfect when the alternative is something you'll just leave home.
I did find something these scissors aren't good at - posh paracord. Survivorcord XT, to be precise. They'll cut it, but it's more like a rodent slowly gnawing through rather than scissors cutting cleanly. Like I said, never "perfect", but always more than adequate, which is more than I can say for the competition. These probably _are_ the best scissors in that form factor.
Great video. Your thumbnails are on point. Video and audio quality is great. Also good BRoll. You’re doing great. Keep it up. 😊
You have no idea how much this means. Super grateful you took the time to watch and give me feedback. As I said you were my number one inspiration to go ahead and start the channel. I'm a huge fan and I appreciate that you took the time. ❤️
Considering to purchase the nail clipper Swiss knife after watching this video...thank you
I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching.
When I was 8 or so my dad got me the cybertool L cause I was always fascinated with his one, I still have it oc I use it sometimes but it’s to bulky to take everywhere. Also my dad just gave me the Alpaka hub pouch which would have bought probably but he said he got it for free and didn’t need it. I‘m still not sure if I should use it as my wallet or not. I would probably use a slim wallet if didn’t have to carry coins a lot (with the Swiss card oc). I’m not sure if I should get the swisscard or something like the rambler or mini champ for my pouch/wallet. I’ll definitely get a normal ish sized pen and probably a flashlight. I’ve also thought about getting a spyderco honeybee or grasshopper which is really scratching the dumbass knife laws in Germany but at the same time the victorinox blade would probably be enough. Nice vid as always ❤
Thanks for the comment as always :-)
- The cybertool is great but the large one is indeed too bulky for most EDC setups
- The hub pouch makes a very good wallet and allows you to free up your pocket by putting your multitool and flashlight for instance in it but you'll need to get used to a thicker wallet
- To me a slim wallet equals Swiss card and you know how I feel about it 🙂
- If you go the route of a small multitool I'd go for the Midnight Manager, has the screwdriver of the rambler but the light and pen. The minichamp is mostly useless in my opinion
- I find a multitool to be more than enough for most blade uses. I might give knives a try but I think especially in Europe a non locking multitool blade, even a small one, should take care of most of your needs
Let me know what you decide on and good luck.
Good video. Ty
Thanks a lot. Great username.

Great collection and good video! Liked and subscribed! If you haven't yet check out the Explorer and either the Pioneer X or Farmer X Alox scale models.
Thanks a lot! You made my day.
I like the Pioneer and prefer it to the Farmer since scissors beat saw for me. I find Alox to be super attractive and the slimness would be a plus BUT that toothpick is too useful for me to lose. But if I were to ever go Alox it would be the Pioneer or Bantam.
@@AboutThings_byTarif Bantam looks so sleek so I get that. The Farmer and Pioneer X both have the scissors. The pioneer x is a 3 layer the Farmer X is 4. A cool thing about the Alox is that the blade and pry tool are beefier and the back spring is a lot stronger.
I didn't know that the tools are made any different with Alox. I'll definitely consider it with my next knife. Thanks for the info.
Good video. More analysis would be welcome.
Thanks! Any particular knife that you'd like a more detailed review of? Also check out my first video on the Swiss Card Lite.
Handyman vs Ranger. Not just showing the tools.
