I have one too. It's not too heavy and the knife is great. It is definitely on the expensive side, but I'm happy with the quality of the knife. I think one can't go wrong with Victorinox.
If you weigh 120 pounds, and you're a female, then this knife will be heavy for you. If you're not a 120lb female, it's not too heavy as far as hunting knives go. It's slightly heavier than a Buck 110, but not significantly. It's a beautiful knife, and pictures and videos don't do it justice. It's probably the nicest looking knife in my collection, and I have around 200 knives from the top brands. It's sharper than anything I've purchased in the past. And the sharpness has lasted quite a long time after first use. Victorinox knows how to sharpen their knives to where you can use it to shave your beard. I highly recommend this knife if you're an occasional hunter, or if you're a SAK collector. This is a must have for collectors, just like the Buck 110. You'll get a damn good knife, with a solid product warranty, for around $100 US currency.
I recommend the non-Alox Hunter pro because the ergonomic is great and it is also cheaper than the Alox. I think the Alox versions are more adapted for collection, not so much for real use. The rather soft steel (56 HRC) used by Victorinox is fine, you just need to sharpen it regularly but it's very easy (I spend less than 1 minute and then it cuts like a razor again), so there is no problem. If you wish it stays sharp for a longer time, you can also increase the sharpening angle. I keep mine to a 25-30 degree angle. An advantage of this steel is that it is extremely resistant to chemical attacks, or corrosion. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for a hunter/ adventurer evolving in a wet environment such as a tropical forest or swamp area.

Too bad you broke it cause one day in the future it would have been worth a lot of money. Regardless of quality, a first production Victorinox knife that totally changed in style from their entire collection will be a high value collection item in the future. I worked in Antiques and Collectibles. Imagine the value of the first production Buck 110, OMG. I live in Canada. Last year the government banned importation of this type of knife. My Victorinox Hunter Pro Alox is now gone up in value, big time. 40+ years I've been a carpenter, never broke a tool. BTW my knife works perfectly, using it today, no problem. You may not like it but you shouldn't tell other people not to buy it just because you don't like it.
Thanks you for your comment!! I understand your point of view... But it's a possibility, it's not for sure, could worth something in 40 years or not, it's not the first victorinox. Also Italy borders with Switzerland, here in the north of Italy, victorinox are pretty common, knives, even book and newspapers shop has it. I'm sorry to hear that in Canada is a rare item... But unfortunately we have the same problem for some American or Japanese brand, so that's normal. Anyway I'm not a collector, I'm a user, so I just don't care to much about that value thing. I have used knives so much more expensive and rare than that. I care more about it's construction and it's cutting ability. The knife it's not broken, it has some blade-play, this problem came out pretty quickly, just after a few uses... Nothing too serious, no abuse or misuse, no chopping or batoning, just simple cuts. So that's basically not acceptable. Of course that's my opinion.
Hi, I think you can squeeze the pivot point rivet with a vice or hammer it to tighten it. I'm 69 and I don't think I'll be around if it becomes a collectible. If I am then I'll be a collectible myself by then. I don't think it was meant to be a tough knife. Victorinox makes nice but not heavy duty stuff. Here they only banned one hand opening knives, like Spyderco from importation into the country. You can buy and sell within Canada, but not import into the country. Nobody knows what's going on. It's a new law. No problem, saves my credit card.

What do you hunt in your kitchen ? Garlic, Mozarella, Salsiccia ? Maybe you should be on the lookout for a nice kitchen knife. I got a really nice one also from Victorinox. Even cuts tomatoes very thinly. Salute !

Nerozumiem, prečo ste si ho vôbec kúpili, nakoľko ako spomínate ste si ho boli kúpiť v obchode kde ste si ho mohli aj chytiť do ruky. 100 ľudí 100 chutí.. osobne preferujem full tang / mám F1- VG10 aj elmax, mám viac nožov, myslím si že milovníci nožov nebudú mať nožov nikdy dosť../ a si myslím, že sú v hodnejšie pre lovca.. Ale každý máme iné priority. Takže niekomu vyhovuje to že mu tento nezhrdzavie a dá sa zavrieť.. Dostal som ho do daru a potešil ma.
I agree with many of these points. The knife is simply too expensive for what you get. The weight and the soft steel make it less practical than many options in the price range. It is a very good looking knife though.
Ciao, ho comprato questo coltello per scopi collezionistici, molte delle tue osservazioni sono condivisibili. Penso che la Vic abbia mantenuto i rivetti (al posto delle viti) per creare una continuità stilistica e costruttiva con gli altri coltelli della serie Alox, ed anche per poter utilizzare i pezzi della Hunter pro normale (lama, molla). Comparandolo con uno Spydrco Endura ne esce malaccio, comunque resta un buon coltello. Una precisazione: l'acciao della sereie Alox 93 mm è il 1.4110 l'Hunter Pro usa il 1.4116.
Ciao!! Grazie per la risposta!! Si hai ragione il vic è in 1. 4116, un acciaio abbastanza modesto. Il problema principale sono il prezzo e la grandezza del coltello. Perché se fosse piccolo e costasse poco le forze che subirebbe sulla lama non sarebbero sufficienti a far allentare i perni. Costando poco, anche se dovesse succedere non sarebbe un problema. Ma viste le dimensioni e il costo, è assurdo che non sia in nessun modo smontabile o regolabile. Inoltre ci sono tutta una serie di problemi secondari come la clip, il bisello, l'apertura non fluida ecc. Insomma è meglio spendere in altro. L'endura è un grande coltello per quello che costa, anche il Delica.
@@zoroutdoor9 Diciamo che il prezzo dell'Hunter Pro Alox dovrebbe essere sui 65 euro, per le sue caratteristiche. Come coltelli da usare la mia scelta è caduta su Spyderco, in particolare: Endura, PM2 e Delica.

Pocket Knife is too generic, it depends for what type of use and with what budget, Benchmade and spyderco are my favourite for sure, the better one for edc and cutting. Cold steel with tri-ad lock are the strongest one. Victorinox multitool, lion steel, opinel and classic american slipjoints are also great knife. Fot tactical use nothing is better than microtech.

Ciao Zoro , concordo con te su molte delle osservazioni che hai fatto , possiedo la versione con guancette in polimero nero e almeno quelle sono rimovibili e sostituibili , risulta effettivamente pesante e scarsamente pulibile , stesso acciaio 1.4116 sabbiato , tuttavia la mia versione fu acquistata a 60 € , un prezzo tutto sommato abbordabile..... questa versione Alox è certamente fuori mercato e quella rosso rubino francamente incomprabile...riguardo la clip onestamente mi chiedo per quale motivo non abbiano creato una sede nella guancetta Alox , dal momento che sono fissate ai liner in maniera solidale attraverso perni a testa tonda , avrebbero potuto fissarla con piccole viti torx e renderla reversibile....per quanto riguarda il pivot non registrabile , effettivamente si tratta di una leggerezza , tuttavia il mio non ha mai manifestato i giochi abbastanza evidenti e visibili del tuo esemplare , malgrado un' uso abbastanza frequente , la lama risulta piuttosto spessa e con una bisellatura piuttosto bassa che come giustamente hai fatto notare , mal si presta a processare il cibo , sopratutto frutta e verdura , sulla carne il discorso cambia ...per migliorare l' affilatura ( che già di fabbrica non fa gridare al miracolo ) utilizzo regolarmente una cinghia di cuoio a mo di coramella , questo sistema consente di " lucidare " il filo , asportando eventuali piccoli segni d'usura e rendendolo notevolmente più incisivo....te lo consiglio nel caso tu voglia tenerlo , tuttavia l' 1.4116 se ben affilato regala anche qualche soddisfazione ( si tratta pur sempre di un' acciaio chirurgico....) e la ritenzione bordo non è delle peggiori , bel video.....alla prossima ....Alex steel....
Ciao Alex!! Grazie per l'apprezzamento!! Guarda come dicevo, secondo me il fatto che non sia smontabile ne regolabile, ne pulibile, un coltello del genere... Lo trovo assurdo. La lama è durissima da aprire eppure ha gioco... L'acciaio è onesto, ma per quella cifra uno si aspetterebbe un upgrade. Queste cose sono ok su un classico vic multi-tool, perché lì ci sta che non si possa smontare e ci sta anche l'acciaio, anche perché ha un prezzo onestissimo. Però qua si strizza l'occhio al mercato americano e internazionale, si è cercato di creare un edc in competizione con le altre Marche, fallendo miseramente. Per la stessa cifra ci sono decine di cold steel, spyderco e benchmade, con acciai migliori, materiali migliori, blocchi migliori, smontabili e facili da usare. Inoltre rispetto al tuo, che ho visto di persona, ti assicuro che questo alox è davvero pesante. Secondo me lo stesso tentativo, un po' meglio riuscito, ma comunque fuori dal suo contesto l'ha fatto la mora con il garberg. Anche lì il prezzo è assurdo per il prodotto che ricevi, dovrebbe costare la metà. Il fatto che sia tutta un'operazione commerciale lo dimostra il fatto che la versione al carbonio costa più di quella inox e ciò è assurdo, non ha nessun senso in relazione agli acciai usati.
anch'io ho la versione in polimero, al prezzo pagato è stata una buona presa. ha dei difetti e l'ho riaffilato subito cambiando un po' l'angolo per usarlo a caccia. le versioni alox per me non si tengono in mano: troppo scomode perché il manico è alto e sottile. sul gioco degli alox non mi esprimo, il mio non ne ha.
Using red alox for almost a year and honestly say that buying the knife is a wrong decision for me. The weight of 168 gram is not for ideal edc weight. You can't open it for cleaning after dusty use. You can't adjust the pivot for any play. It's starting vertical play after some day of use. After replacing through warrenty the new one starting vertical blade play like the old one. Steel is not bad but in this price point it should be better. Construction of the knife bulletproof and it makes it heavier. Victorinox is a world famous multitool maker but not everything from victorinox are precious. And each of their products are ridiculously heavy price tag. So if you need a quality branded company knife just go for it. But if you think For a good knife with better steel and price tag , think 10 times before buying it.
That's a great comment, with a good review of the knife, I agree on all the points. Unfortunately I've had a similar experience... Most of the people who had only read the title of this video didn't understand that I love victorinox. It's a great brand for multi-tool, pliers and kitchen knives, I love their classic model, but not everything they made it's good. This one is simple a bad project, and a bad edc, overpriced. The name it's just marketing, it's not an hunter knife. That's my opinion, and it's based on my experience of course.
@@zoroutdoor9 most important thing that some people eat sh*t confidentiality if there was the swiss logo. But not all the same bro. Thanks for your positive review
who makes you buy it? this knife is an amazing gentleman and should be used accordingly.This knife is apparently intended for collecting.I'm a guy with no money in the comments you have that you own a Ferrari, Lamborghini. give me that knife thank you.Martin
I wish that was true. It's called sarcasm, it's free. I've no interest in super car or money to buy them. Regarding the victorinox I bought it because I like the brand and wanted to try it. This knife is called hunter, but it's not designed to be used for processing an animal, it's not a gentleman folder either. They are quite different. You are a little bit confused
Victorinox needs to upgrade their steel, seriously! Or at least provide an option to buy familiar (and excellently made!) models in 154cm or something similar.
@@R_a_c_o_o_n If you are going to use it once in a while yes, but for me, that I use it more inside the day, it dulls before I reach home to be able to sharpen it properly. I wish they would replace it with 12c27 at least. It's the best budget steel, rreadily availiable and it isn't made far from their factory, so it wouldn't bring the cost of getting that steel higher, than the German steel they use. That steel ,is similar with the one they use, with all the details upgraded!! It is as tough if not tougher, than the steel they use, it sharpens easily but holds it's edge way longer and takes a sharper edge!!! Also, if the make such a change, their sales, will hit the roof!!! If only, they wheren't so conservative company...

Good for you. Why don't you try it on a video instead of moving your mouth? How many knives have you tried? How many different lock and steel and brand?
Making a video with a clickbait trash title doesn't give you any more credibility. I would trust more Victorinox quality than a random with terrible arguments.
@@Rakx10 clickbait??? Ahahahah what are you talking about? The video explains why I don't like the victorinox hunter pro alox and why I don't recommend to buy it. I've never talked bad about victorinox, I'm a fan. I don't like that model, and that's the explanation of my opinion. In fact at the end of the video I suggest to buy with less money a classic victorinox or a victorinox spirit. Then I show a benchmade, from the hunt series, that's how it should habe been that victorinox. Adjustable pivot, easy to clean, good clip, good steel, good bevel, clip point, good handle grip and possible to disassemble. All things that made that victorynox a bad choice for the money. If you want a classic knife without any screws and a classic backlock buy a buck 110, not that. Clickbait, a small channel without any sponsor or advice... use your brain sometimes.
@@Rakx10 congratulations on the strong of your arguments. Clickbait to me ... I've never earned 1 cent from any videos or forum reviews I've done. Arrogant, certainly. I'm sure of what I'm saying, I've been using knives for 15 years, I've had something like 130, tried over 200, seen over 400 knives probably. Bad faith would have been talking bad about a knife without having it in hand or having tried it. Who talks well about it having only brand new in collection (of course it doesn't take any play on the lock) or being sponsored by someone has no bad faith then?
I was curious about the premium version of victorinox products, expecially this one which is quite far from the regular vic multi-tool production. I wanted to know if it was a good choice for the price. But it wasn't in my opinion, that knife was full of problems after a few uses in the woods, nothing extreme, just cutting. Victorinox make some great pliers, super tuff and well made, they have the best multitool knife in the world and they also offer some great kitchen knives, with great prices. Lots of restaurants or professionists uses their kitchen knives. But that's it, no one is capable of making the best knives in every area. They are quite far from making a good edc, a good hunting knife or a good bushcraft knife. They aren't capable of offer a new super sinterized inox steel or a modern disassemble flipper (edc) knife. That's of course my opinion, based on the knives I've seen and tried. Most of the people wo have seen this video didn't understand that I like the classic victorinox production, and I recommend it at the end of the video.
All the lockback knives have some blade play, or get some after some use.... Most of your complaints, makes me say again, that new generations, are way to soft, to be men.. It's heavy... and it's the other ... We forgot that we are men. This knife is way better than you say it is. I would like them to upgrade their steel at some point, but to tell the truth....it works just fine... no big deal
No. Not all lockbacks have blade play up/down or side/side. Occasionally some will have due to sloppy tolerances at the factory. My Cold Steel lockbacks have no wobble whatsoever. Others like Buck folders with plastic handles have side/side play straight out of the box. I think his criticism of this Victorinox is valid and it's his opinion which I mostly agree with which is why I didn't buy it. Not sure why you would question someone's manliness because you don't agree with him. That is childish. You said that this knife is better than he says it is but you haven't countered his criticism in any constructive way. Perhaps you can do a review since you seem to like the product and have experience with it. Saying that "it just works fine" is not too convincing.
Hey grandpa, your antiquated views on manliness have nothing to do with the fact that this is a poorly thought out and overpriced knife. Weight is a serious consideration for EDC or camping/hiking applications in addition to all the other gear in a bag, an extra 20-30 grams can make a difference.
You can read its weight online. You can see pivots and no screws online. You can see no clip screws there online. If you look pictures and specifications online then you know everything before buying it. So why did you buy it then? Buck 110 is a classic and doesnt even have a clip and dont have any screws just pivots. People still love it. Why? Because it lasts forever. Same with this Victorinox Hunter alox. So people dont give a sh!t… The Buck 110 is even heavier while being smaller. This Victorinox is a lightweight for its size. And it is easy to clean. Pump air through it, put it in soap water and oil it. My works perfectly since 4 years. No Play in blade and it is with me almost every day in the woods. By the way the Steel is not the same. Normally Victorinox uses 1.4110 Dura, the Hunter pro alox has 1.4119 Dura. Not much difference but there definitely is a difference. It is worth its 110 Euros since made in Swizerland and not made in China. USA made or made in Germany costs the same. Yes, even for simple Steel. Dont forget about the lifetime Warranty of Victorinox. How many knives did i sent there and they got replaced or repaired after 20 years of use. I never paid even 1 Euro for that. That Warranty alone is worth the money.
I have one too. It's not too heavy and the knife is great. It is definitely on the expensive side, but I'm happy with the quality of the knife. I think one can't go wrong with Victorinox.
I've same opinion.
Welll said.

Ciao Zoro , concordo con te su molte delle osservazioni che hai fatto , possiedo la versione con guancette in polimero nero e almeno quelle sono rimovibili e sostituibili , risulta effettivamente pesante e scarsamente pulibile , stesso acciaio 1.4116 sabbiato , tuttavia la mia versione fu acquistata a 60 € , un prezzo tutto sommato abbordabile..... questa versione Alox è certamente fuori mercato e quella rosso rubino francamente incomprabile...riguardo la clip onestamente mi chiedo per quale motivo non abbiano creato una sede nella guancetta Alox , dal momento che sono fissate ai liner in maniera solidale attraverso perni a testa tonda , avrebbero potuto fissarla con piccole viti torx e renderla reversibile....per quanto riguarda il pivot non registrabile , effettivamente si tratta di una leggerezza , tuttavia il mio non ha mai manifestato i giochi abbastanza evidenti e visibili del tuo esemplare , malgrado un' uso abbastanza frequente , la lama risulta piuttosto spessa e con una bisellatura piuttosto bassa che come giustamente hai fatto notare , mal si presta a processare il cibo , sopratutto frutta e verdura , sulla carne il discorso cambia ...per migliorare l' affilatura ( che già di fabbrica non fa gridare al miracolo ) utilizzo regolarmente una cinghia di cuoio a mo di coramella , questo sistema consente di " lucidare " il filo , asportando eventuali piccoli segni d'usura e rendendolo notevolmente più incisivo....te lo consiglio nel caso tu voglia tenerlo , tuttavia l' 1.4116 se ben affilato regala anche qualche soddisfazione ( si tratta pur sempre di un' acciaio chirurgico....) e la ritenzione bordo non è delle peggiori , bel video.....alla prossima ....Alex steel....
Ciao Alex!! Grazie per l'apprezzamento!! Guarda come dicevo, secondo me il fatto che non sia smontabile ne regolabile, ne pulibile, un coltello del genere... Lo trovo assurdo. La lama è durissima da aprire eppure ha gioco... L'acciaio è onesto, ma per quella cifra uno si aspetterebbe un upgrade. Queste cose sono ok su un classico vic multi-tool, perché lì ci sta che non si possa smontare e ci sta anche l'acciaio, anche perché ha un prezzo onestissimo. Però qua si strizza l'occhio al mercato americano e internazionale, si è cercato di creare un edc in competizione con le altre Marche, fallendo miseramente. Per la stessa cifra ci sono decine di cold steel, spyderco e benchmade, con acciai migliori, materiali migliori, blocchi migliori, smontabili e facili da usare. Inoltre rispetto al tuo, che ho visto di persona, ti assicuro che questo alox è davvero pesante. Secondo me lo stesso tentativo, un po' meglio riuscito, ma comunque fuori dal suo contesto l'ha fatto la mora con il garberg. Anche lì il prezzo è assurdo per il prodotto che ricevi, dovrebbe costare la metà. Il fatto che sia tutta un'operazione commerciale lo dimostra il fatto che la versione al carbonio costa più di quella inox e ciò è assurdo, non ha nessun senso in relazione agli acciai usati.
anch'io ho la versione in polimero, al prezzo pagato è stata una buona presa. ha dei difetti e l'ho riaffilato subito cambiando un po' l'angolo per usarlo a caccia. le versioni alox per me non si tengono in mano: troppo scomode perché il manico è alto e sottile. sul gioco degli alox non mi esprimo, il mio non ne ha.
Using red alox for almost a year and honestly say that buying the knife is a wrong decision for me.
The weight of 168 gram is not for ideal edc weight.
You can't open it for cleaning after dusty use.
You can't adjust the pivot for any play.
It's starting vertical play after some day of use.
After replacing through warrenty the new one starting vertical blade play like the old one.
Steel is not bad but in this price point it should be better.
Construction of the knife bulletproof and it makes it heavier.
Victorinox is a world famous multitool maker but not everything from victorinox are precious.
And each of their products are ridiculously heavy price tag.
So if you need a quality branded company knife just go for it.
But if you think For a good knife with better steel and price tag , think 10 times before buying it.
That's a great comment, with a good review of the knife, I agree on all the points. Unfortunately I've had a similar experience... Most of the people who had only read the title of this video didn't understand that I love victorinox. It's a great brand for multi-tool, pliers and kitchen knives, I love their classic model, but not everything they made it's good. This one is simple a bad project, and a bad edc, overpriced. The name it's just marketing, it's not an hunter knife. That's my opinion, and it's based on my experience of course.
@@zoroutdoor9 most important thing that some people eat sh*t confidentiality if there was the swiss logo.
But not all the same bro.
Thanks for your positive review
who makes you buy it? this knife is an amazing gentleman and should be used accordingly.This knife is apparently intended for collecting.I'm a guy with no money in the comments you have that you own a Ferrari, Lamborghini. give me that knife thank you.Martin
I wish that was true. It's called sarcasm, it's free. I've no interest in super car or money to buy them. Regarding the victorinox I bought it because I like the brand and wanted to try it. This knife is called hunter, but it's not designed to be used for processing an animal, it's not a gentleman folder either. They are quite different. You are a little bit confused
🍀
hi zoro knife i bought it's waste literally you're right
Cold steel recon 1 beats the hunter pro in all aspects
Victorinox needs to upgrade their steel, seriously! Or at least provide an option to buy familiar (and excellently made!) models in 154cm or something similar.
Victorinox have been going FOREVER with the same steels... Why fix something that's not broken, right? I personally think it's an awesome knife
@@R_a_c_o_o_n If you are going to use it once in a while yes, but for me, that I use it more inside the day, it dulls before I reach home to be able to sharpen it properly. I wish they would replace it with 12c27 at least. It's the best budget steel, rreadily availiable and it isn't made far from their factory, so it wouldn't bring the cost of getting that steel higher, than the German steel they use. That steel ,is similar with the one they use, with all the details upgraded!! It is as tough if not tougher, than the steel they use, it sharpens easily but holds it's edge way longer and takes a sharper edge!!! Also, if the make such a change, their sales, will hit the roof!!! If only, they wheren't so conservative company...
hahah..how much $$$$ Spiderco paid you 4 this advertising??
You have no idea.. Now I live in the Cayman, in a castle, I have a yatch and a garage full of Ferrari and Lamborghini

Why make a video about a knife you do not like that lasts 24 minutes?
I love this knife. Buy it.
You dont like this knife? Do you work for Spyderco? Then i can undetstand you.
Good for you. Why don't you try it on a video instead of moving your mouth? How many knives have you tried? How many different lock and steel and brand?
Making a video with a clickbait trash title doesn't give you any more credibility. I would trust more Victorinox quality than a random with terrible arguments.
@@Rakx10 clickbait??? Ahahahah what are you talking about? The video explains why I don't like the victorinox hunter pro alox and why I don't recommend to buy it. I've never talked bad about victorinox, I'm a fan. I don't like that model, and that's the explanation of my opinion. In fact at the end of the video I suggest to buy with less money a classic victorinox or a victorinox spirit. Then I show a benchmade, from the hunt series, that's how it should habe been that victorinox. Adjustable pivot, easy to clean, good clip, good steel, good bevel, clip point, good handle grip and possible to disassemble. All things that made that victorynox a bad choice for the money. If you want a classic knife without any screws and a classic backlock buy a buck 110, not that. Clickbait, a small channel without any sponsor or advice... use your brain sometimes.
@@zoroutdoor9 "don't buy it!!" isn't a clickbait of course LOL. Chill on your arrogance and bad faith man.
@@Rakx10 congratulations on the strong of your arguments. Clickbait to me ... I've never earned 1 cent from any videos or forum reviews I've done. Arrogant, certainly. I'm sure of what I'm saying, I've been using knives for 15 years, I've had something like 130, tried over 200, seen over 400 knives probably. Bad faith would have been talking bad about a knife without having it in hand or having tried it. Who talks well about it having only brand new in collection (of course it doesn't take any play on the lock) or being sponsored by someone has no bad faith then?
brother ....why did you buy this knife.... you have soo many variants of knife ... it is painful to watch.....:((((
I was curious about the premium version of victorinox products, expecially this one which is quite far from the regular vic multi-tool production. I wanted to know if it was a good choice for the price. But it wasn't in my opinion, that knife was full of problems after a few uses in the woods, nothing extreme, just cutting. Victorinox make some great pliers, super tuff and well made, they have the best multitool knife in the world and they also offer some great kitchen knives, with great prices. Lots of restaurants or professionists uses their kitchen knives. But that's it, no one is capable of making the best knives in every area. They are quite far from making a good edc, a good hunting knife or a good bushcraft knife. They aren't capable of offer a new super sinterized inox steel or a modern disassemble flipper (edc) knife. That's of course my opinion, based on the knives I've seen and tried. Most of the people wo have seen this video didn't understand that I like the classic victorinox production, and I recommend it at the end of the video.
@@zoroutdoor9 I respect what you have said! It was a perfect answer!!
All the lockback knives have some blade play, or get some after some use.... Most of your complaints, makes me say again, that new generations, are way to soft, to be men.. It's heavy... and it's the other ... We forgot that we are men. This knife is way better than you say it is. I would like them to upgrade their steel at some point, but to tell the truth....it works just fine... no big deal
No. Not all lockbacks have blade play up/down or side/side. Occasionally some will have due to sloppy tolerances at the factory. My Cold Steel lockbacks have no wobble whatsoever. Others like Buck folders with plastic handles have side/side play straight out of the box. I think his criticism of this Victorinox is valid and it's his opinion which I mostly agree with which is why I didn't buy it. Not sure why you would question someone's manliness because you don't agree with him. That is childish. You said that this knife is better than he says it is but you haven't countered his criticism in any constructive way. Perhaps you can do a review since you seem to like the product and have experience with it. Saying that "it just works fine" is not too convincing.
Hey grandpa, your antiquated views on manliness have nothing to do with the fact that this is a poorly thought out and overpriced knife. Weight is a serious consideration for EDC or camping/hiking applications in addition to all the other gear in a bag, an extra 20-30 grams can make a difference.
victorinox is no, 1 buy this knife
25min que tu raconte ta vie
You can read its weight online. You can see pivots and no screws online. You can see no clip screws there online. If you look pictures and specifications online then you know everything before buying it. So why did you buy it then? Buck 110 is a classic and doesnt even have a clip and dont have any screws just pivots. People still love it. Why? Because it lasts forever. Same with this Victorinox Hunter alox. So people dont give a sh!t… The Buck 110 is even heavier while being smaller. This Victorinox is a lightweight for its size. And it is easy to clean. Pump air through it, put it in soap water and oil it. My works perfectly since 4 years. No Play in blade and it is with me almost every day in the woods. By the way the Steel is not the same. Normally Victorinox uses 1.4110 Dura, the Hunter pro alox has 1.4119 Dura. Not much difference but there definitely is a difference. It is worth its 110 Euros since made in Swizerland and not made in China. USA made or made in Germany costs the same. Yes, even for simple Steel. Dont forget about the lifetime Warranty of Victorinox. How many knives did i sent there and they got replaced or repaired after 20 years of use. I never paid even 1 Euro for that. That Warranty alone is worth the money.
