Thanks for watching
"Inox" is a shortened word in French, from "inoxidable", which means "not rustable". This term, "inox" is widely accepted for stainless steel. The German term is "Rostfrei".
Noted this Otto! Thanks for the info!
@ otto. Just to add. Direct English translation = 'stainless'.
shorthand for 'stainless steel'.
Inox is a good shorthand for this material.
In Spanish is also inoxidable
No one cares what the German word is
Great vid Sootch. I had a Swiss Army knife all of my 21 years in the Army. Not to boost, but I used it to eat chow in the desrt, prime explosives, first aid, cut para chord after a jump (AIRBORNE!), liberate scorpions and spiders from my hootch, when trekking in Central America, or Opening beers throughout Europe! The most handy knives ever made!
One of the best pocket knives ever made.
the first "bottle opener" is actually a can opener :)
Been out with friends recently, and had to open a bottle with my swiss knive, worked beautifully :)
European here, saying that inox actually means inoxidável/inoxidable/inoxidabel wich is stainless. Doesnt oxidate. Doesnt rust.
Noticed you'd got Psalm 11 3 "If the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?" on your knife. I'm not a Christian myself but that's really interesting.
As lifelong Swiss navy knife user. The large screwdriver has a wire-stripper and the small flat head is the can opener. It is slow but allows a nice rhythm to build up and it slices neatly and easily through can tops. Just thought I'd let you know. Great knife thanks for the review.
Swiss Navy... you know they make Anal Lube, not knives, right?
The number in the blade says the year of production. In your case, 2010.
Back before they were bought out, Wenger's version of the old Vic Soldier was called the Standard. Same in every way, except the Wenger version had a very sturdy a useful lanyard bale on it.
Nice review. I just bought one for my Son who is in the Military.
that bottle opener is a can opener g haha
Thanks for these knife reviews, I have swiss knives and I constantly use them, got my son the German army one and he carries it a lot.
The knife is a very well thought out piece of equipment. (I have the German Army Issue.) The steel is a softer steel that does hold an edge fairly well, but it is very easily sharpened in the field. The Knife Blade is serrated towards the front as you mentioned for a reason. (Here comes some of the thinking.) All of your fine carving work is done with the straight edge and needs to be done with control. Moving this edge to the rear of the blade allows more control as well as more force to be applied.
You're right
That 1961 version you have I bought one back in 1987 in Zurich Switzerland on leave after someone stole my WWII style 1967 made Camillus stainless steel field pocket knife. I saw it at a knife shop in Zurich translated as Soldiers Knife Infantry Model. I got it for 10 Swiss Francs back then. I never kept it out of my sight ever and kept it in my pocket all the time. I only gave it to a friend of mine till 1989 as a gift when he got out of the Army. That modern Victorinox Soldier's Knife I saw it a few months back on a You Tube video I fell in love with it because it was more than my trusty WWII pocket knife and better than the 1961 version and more modern. Today I just got mines from Liberty Tree. Its a genuine German Army Bundeswehr issue. Very good shape and looks like it was hardly used. I plan to carry it as my other EDC utility knife.
damn victorinox for not making this also in plain edge.
there is trekker with smooth blade
I don't know how you usually carve but normally, the area of the blade that is used for carving is the part near the base. And the part near the base of this knife is straight edged.
This is why this serration type is more intuitive. It gives you the serration area towards the end of the blade where you will run the rope or whatever material you want to cut. At the same time, it gives you the straight edged blade near the base where you need the control.
INOX = INOXYDABLE = RUST FREE = STAINLESS
+VEI DORJE INOXIDABLE in Spanish
VEI DORJE rostfrei!
The first knife i owned was a swiss army knife, i still have it
This would be a awesome upgrade
I have this green soldier and it's a beast , the serrated blade is amazing I was so surprised what a slasher it is. It even flicks out in a tactical situation when you practise.use the flat head bottle opener for loosening D Links on digger chains, reamer starts holes that the saw can start cuts, a truly useful work knife. Great video.. A REAL TOUGH KNIFE NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED, great Vid of a great knife, love the out takes too.
Victoria was his mother's name and he just added inox to it. I bought the Rescue Tool, similar to what you have but it has a phosphorescent handle that glows in the dark and a window breaker
I didn't you got a video on this one. Great video sootch00, I got the kabar usmc too for combat knife. Two of my best blades of my collection. Thanks for the video. You rock 👍
I purchased the trekker version of the knife because of my aversion to the serrated blade. the trekker is the same design, quality and construction. The full flat blade takes a extremely good edge and can be re sharpened easily.
The Victorinox knife can opener is the finest i have ever used.
The wirecutter is actually on the other side, the small notch in the bottem on the bottle opener, the otherside is also a can opener
For anyone who desires the knife without serrations: just buy the Trekker NS. It's essentially the same knife with a non-serrated main blade, tweezers, a toothpick and black scales (camouflage-scaled version available too).
I like the OD sheath, got to keep my eye on that nice tool.
Great vid, Sootch!
im from switzerland and my father stil has the old one it stil works great after about 20 years
An Athiest, a vegan and a crossfitter walk into a bar. How do i know?
They told everyone within 2 minutes.
Yep......
My experience is that I just fade out when I talk with an Christian and just smile and say "yes". No point to have a conversation with idiots...
😆
Lack of dogma and medieval gullibility?
Great knives + great vid! BTW at 1:55 the shield on the old Vic Soldier is identical to the shield on the Wenger standard issue.....at least it is on my 2005 Vic Soldier anyway. God bless and long live the Republic!
First shown bottle opener i actually great working can opener (whitch, thanks to those soda can kind, tss, helpers is nowdays practically useless). Purchased little more thicker, black version of this knife, with a file, and have to say, it proved to be, by far, the sturdiest piece of stainless steel i own. Excuse my english. I am CZ.
the shield is not vicorinox but the swiss coat of arms...
Its wenger
he never said it wasnt
Why do I watch these reviews? Because all that's going off in my head right now is "I want one". I might have a knife addiction.
the number 10 says that the blade was made in 2010. the "bottle opener" with the small screwdriver is actually a CAN OPENER. the "swiss quality" this knife has is that it makes a noise when you open or close any part of it.
Both Wenger and Victorinox made the same model. Victorinox named it the Solider. (Now, old Soldier model since the new one was introduced.) Wenger's version of the Soldier was called the Standard. Both versions were completely identical except that the Wenger model came with a large lanyard bale. The Vic version lacked the bale completely. (Easiest way to tell if one is holding the Vic version or the Wenger one.)
Inox comes from the word "inoxidable" which is French and translates to stainless.
+Calmo It does not come from french, it comes from greek. inoxidable (french and spanish) or inoxidável (portuguese) are words that are used to define metal or any other objects that can't oxidize. The "in" comes the same way as "a" in greek, and means "no". The rest I'll let you figure out haha
Inoxidable is a spanish word (and can be in other countries too), it means stainless.
Its also issued to the Irish army of overseas troops. The Irish version has black scales.
It's my understanding that this knife has the Swiss Cross printed in lieu of the Victorinox logo
Actually, you can close it with one hand. You can use your left hand, the way you use your right hand on a standard frame lock. Or, with some practise you can use your right hand index finger to push the spring, gently pushing the blade with your thumb a few degrees until it dissengages.Then you can press the blade with your index finger to close it. It is not easy at first, but you can do it.
The bottle opener is also a can opener i haf one of those for years but lost it when i was out shooting one dayust get another soon
Thank you - great video. One can tell from your voice you like this knife.
I have just one tiny but important correction: us in Switzerland who grew up with these knives will all know, that your first "bottleopener" isn't one. In fact it's a TINCAN-opener. I'm sure there are videos on how to use it. Once you get the hang of it, you can open a can quite fast with that tool.
;) give it a try ... - if I can do it, you can too!
Could any of you experts tell me, how you clean your knives, when away frm any home for a longer period of time and water and time are scarce?
Hi Sootch - the '10' on the blade shows the year of manufacture (2010) Best regards from Switzerland.
Ps. Wengener is now a part of Victorinox, becaus Victorinox bought wengener.
Nice video
I want the black bladed version of this but sadly civilians can't buy that version
would that sheath fit a supertool 300 ?
where did you get that patch I searched for it and can't find one like it.
This swissknife, Soldier's Knife 08 (0.8461MWCH) it's very simillar to Forester One Hand (0.8361MWC): red double density slides and a corkscrew instead of the Phillips screwdriver. Very good and reliable both of them. I own the two models, very well designed and usefull in field. :)
It's very easy. It's not a "serious" toothed serration. It's more of a wavy blade. Just run it on the sharpener the way you do with the straight blade.
From experience. It's so easy that I can even use a coffee cup to do it.
1:46 little correction: its not the shield of victorinox but the emblem of switzerland itself
I find the Soldier 61 and the current issue Soldier 08 knife to be very practical folding knives for most outdoor cutting tasks. General outdoor cutting tasks haven't changed since the first Swiss soldier's pocket knife was issued at the end if the 19th century or since the first Boy Scout knife was adopted in the early 20th century. They were both based on the same design at the time. Not sure why these very practical high quality knives tend to get overlooked by todays outdoor enthusiasts.
I actually think it says "Psalms 1 1-3" which would be Psalms chapter 1 verses 1-3.
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
The first "bottle opener" is actually a metal can opener. The second similar thing is your bottle opener.
Serrations on the front & flat on the back mean you can whittle with the blade very precisely.
I would just like to point out that the logo on the old soldier from Wenger is the same as the logo on the old soldier from Victorinox. So contrary to what you say, you can't tell that from the logo on this type of knife. This is why that old alox soldier is not a Wenger, it is a Victorinox. The way to tell the difference is whether or not a bail exists. That one does not, therefore it is not a Wenger.
Does the pouch/cover comes with the knife?
Actually, the shield on the 08 is the Swiss cross of arms.
I have the civilian version, just the same, and it's just perfect.
i have the Bundeswehr (german) version of it, there are small differents to the swiss one like the grips are completly polymer in olive green without the victorinox logo on it but with the Bundesadler on. otherwise than that the blade is a little different its a spearpoint not a sheepfoot and the serrations are only in the front half of the flat part of the blade when it curves up to the tip its plain aigain and the serrations are not very deep. when you cut wood it feels like a plain edge but when you cut bread or fibre its more like a serrated edge.
greetings from germany :)
inox means stainless, not steel :P from the word inoxidable. great video overall and great knife!
Where did you get the olive green cloth pouch? I can't find it anywhere online.
Cuttlery Shoppe .com in Utah has the best prices and selection on Victorinox products $18.00 for the pouch
The wire stripper is the indentation at the base of the bottle opener. Just hold the end of your wire in it with your thumb and pull it through. Sad to see they got rid of the lacing hole in the awl. It was a useful addition, even if it did weaken the awl. I like the design of the blade - particularly the easy-opening 'Spyderco'-like design. Not a fan of the serrations. I've carried the Victorinox tinker for the past few decades, in a addition to my Leatherman Charge TTi.
the "logo" in the swiss military pocket knives is a helvetic cross, no wenger or victorinox
would you be able to put the handle from the victorinox one hand sentinel onto this knife? that'd be pretty cool because then you would have the toothpick and tweezers
that first bottle opener is can opener.
Nice review :) but is the serrated edged knife suitable for carving? I'm a large fan of making models so even though i will be using it for the army-knife features, will carving with it leave lines of indents?
Any European bushcraft channel specialised in Swiss Army Knife except Felix Immler? I already follow him.
The first bottle opener is actually a can opener btw
I would carry this and a pair of pliers before i would carry a leatherman
The first "bottle opener" is a can opener.
wenger got a square shield with rounded corners, the rounded bottom on the old solder just means its made for the swiss army, I got the old solder you showed and it says Victorinox on the blade, the difference between the victorinox and wenger versrion of the old soldier knife is that wenger had a lanyard attachement, victorinox did not, however the maker name is stamped on the blade.
"wenger had a lanyard attachement, victorinox did not"
This is partially correct.
Victorinox never used a bail, Wenger did for a while, but not always.
So if you see a 1961 Soldier / Soldat with a bail, it's Wenger for sure. But if it has no bail, it's hard to say if it's a Victorinox or Wenger model without reading the name on the blade. (There were only slight manufacturing differences in the blade and reamer shape, and the year stamp was deeper on the Victorinox models, but that's about it.)
Do any of those OH SAK come plain edge (non serrated)?
Victorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Non-Serrated Multi-Tool, Black,
Victorinox's serrations are wicked cutters, they bite like no ones business
Sweet looking blade. I wonder if they make the same kinfe without the serrations???
Switzerland is the only country in Europe that I like. They are neutral and armed unlike the UK which is disarmed and war-like. The irony is at an epic level in Europe and Latin America.
i have a wood saw on my swiss champ like that great for cuting out smile Jesus loves you pumpkins + the lock on the screwdriver looks to be very usefull Nice knife
How can I get that kind of sheath
hi
just for information, the first botelopener you menchend is in fact a tinn opener.
The Wenger standard issue has the same logo as the Victorinox soldier, you can tell the alox soldier you have there is a Vic because the Wenger SI has a bail
Your videos are great as usual but the first bottle opener/screw driver, is a can opener screw driver the sharp edge is the giveaway. Looks like another great knife I want one :-)
Could you possibly do a review of the SIG550? That's the Swiss army issue assault rifle (which I got from there :P). But for some reason there are no international reviews of this gun. I think for some reason even the semi-auto version is illegal or something in the US... no reason why though...
does that cover come with the knife
I have the Bundeswehr model which is the 2003 German model, pretty useful
Hi, nice review! :) I'm curious about the blade if anyone can give me a hint:
I actually never had a serrated blade and while I can sharpen my plain edge blades I'm not sure about those serrations. Wouldn't it be better for me to buy the Trailmaster/Trekker instead, even without the one-hand opening but with plain edge blade?
+Michal Urban Well, the serrated blade is meant for a different use. It cuts through fabric and food more easily then the plain knife. And it stays sharp for much longer. However, it is not as precise as the plain blade. It all depends in how you plan to use it.
Where can I get that case
Show all the tools in there, where r the scissors?
Did you mention the price of the knife?
mine didn't come with the sheath...
The u.s. military just started to issue that knife to your soldiers. But some differences.
the emblem is not the victorinox emblem. it's the army emblem (victorinox is using the swiss flag as a logo, alldough it is theoretically not allowed. the "10" is the year of production. Inox means inoxidable=stainless.
That blade looks like a wal mart steak knife
Good vid you just earned a subscriber
I have the NS version, nice knife but the saw is the great. Hands down best saw I've ever had on a pocket knife. The lefthanded blade lock is annoying.
I'm sure this is a good knife, but I don't like anything about the blade, except for the one-hand opening. It's on the wrong side for a right-handed person, the unlock works in the wrong direction, and--most important--the blade is serrated. I absolutely can't stand serrated blades. If they changed that one thing, I'd probably get one.
+Michael Colloton There is a non-serrated blade version called "Trekker NS" (NS = non-serrated), and it comes with toothpick and tweezers.
+Xeno Thank you!
Domenik _
np :)
+Xeno I found one called the Ranger Grip 60. No saw and it has a corkscrew instead of the Phillips. It's a very good light- to medium-duty camp knife, especially if there's a bottle of wine or Tecate around.
Michael Colloton
The RangerGrip are larger knives though!
and the first bottle opener is actually a can opener
That first "bottle opener" at 3:44 is actually a can opener... it is not a bottle opener or a wire cutter. The large/flat screwdriver has the bottle opener. I hate to see these "informational" videos with BAD info. in them.
it's basically the one i have (forgot the name) but with a locking blade
the first bottel opener is a can opener
how much does this cost?
A heavy duty version of the Victorinox Hiker.
Actually yes, I bought my Hiker because it has more or less the exact same toolset - plus extra smaller blade and of course tweezers and toothpick - as the current German/Swiss Army issue knives, but unlike this, it's legal to EDC in the UK. We're limited to max. 3 in non-locking blades. Still gonna get me one of these too but for outdoor activities where those rules don't apply as you can carry longer and/or locking bladed knives ''with good reason''.
i re profilled mine made the tip better for stabbing and then ground the non serreted part up higher on the blade
You wouldn't appear to have done history: pre world war one Germany wasn't a unified country and so no "German" military existed, post world war one Germany re-established her military, publicly, in 1934.
may also interest you to note they have one of the best trained submariner corps in the world.
