    I just bought this thing to have something with good scissors that's smaller than the phantom, and after receiving it today, the pics, and videos don't do it justice. This thing is beautifully designed, and mine was tight as a button. My 4mm bit kit from the phantom works perfectly on top the phillips head tool, and I've customized it for my needs. Top notch. I've owned lots of tiny EDCs as well as various victoriknox, leatherman, gerber, tools for backup at work. This is now the backup. Great job roxon.

    Still, it’s good that other companies come up with new ideas. Even if you are Victorinox, and have 150+ years of experience and expertise and a eich history: That’s no reason to rest on your laurels, no matter how well deserved they were.

    I've been debating about getting this but I'm not sure. I've been carrying the Leatherman Curl and Bond. I love them both the slip joints are very sturdy. HUGE Leatherman fan but I like the look of the Roxon KS2 for a plier less tool. Rectangular and boxy. Bigger isn't always better. I find the Wave/ Curl style scissors very handy. I think something in that size would be much more suitable for the Roxon KS2. The G10 scales are nice. I like Victorinox but I'm a huge plier fan. Never owned a Victorinox Swisstool but really find the pliers, the best feature of my Leatherman Tools. The T4 is good but not for $70. My Bond is much more appealing in the $60 price range, for the money.

    Very interesting offering from Roxon! I would really love to see these types of tools offered with non-blade options as well, or the ability to replace the blade with something else (easily). I always feel like the blades on these tools are just barely "good enough" and I will typically just go to my pocket knife. It would just be great to have another tool instead of another knife at times, especially when trying to keep my pockets light.

Carried with a Spyderco (in my case the Urban as my country doesn't allow me to EDC a locking blade) and Knipex Cobra XS that would be a great little toolset.

    I have a different Roxon with just the scissors and a blade. The scissors are great to start out, but get messed up fairly quickly. I've had mine for about a year and have only used it to cut cord and occasionally prune tomatoes. Nothing that should be nicking the scissors, but they are are starting to not cut well due to all the nicks. The blade doesn't hold an edge very long either. So both are probably made of fairly soft material. Better to pay a little more and get something that will hold an edge. The blade on mine also has that play you showed. I've tightened everything up and still it wobbles. Yes it's cheaper in most cases, and the scissors are nice for a while, but I'm looking for something better...

    The only gripe I have against my swiss army knife is that the blade doesn't lock. If it did, it would be the perfect knife. I've had the blade close on my before (granted, I wasn't really using it properly), and got cut pretty bad. That's the main advantage I can see with the Roxon. But my vote still goes with Swiss Army.

    Victorinox has been around and perfected their tools for over 150 years. I've been using their pocket knives since 1960. They are the "Rolex" of pocket knives and you can't go wrong with them for quality and price. I've tried others and NOTHING matches the quality of a Swiss Army knife. They also last forever if treated with care. I still use one of my older models which is 40 years old. It's still like new and I take it with me everywhere.

    Been carrying and using it quite a bit recently and the steel is holding up rather well. Definitely a step up in these Chinese multitool materials - the polishing and general wear is much improved from the previous bead-blasted Roxon tool steel.

Not to mention Roxon probably the only one in the industry who makes such large scissors! And for me they are much more usefull in large size than smaller ones. And althow i havent tried their KS2, im currently using their phantom s802, wich is also comes with their scissors and same blade, both of which are feeling great!

They need to redesign their scissors from the ground up and figure out how to make compact tools that are just as sturdy and useful as their bulkier items. There is no reason they couldn’t create a double sided pocket knife that’s as slim as the victorinox compact but with more tools.

    I got an older roxxon before people started reviewing them, I carry the mini knipex pliers and a knife so I wanted something primarily with scissors and roxxon delivered. The knife on the multitool I got sucks to use, but it has similar scissors and they are amazing. I was using them mostly to cut electrical tape (because tearing it off can be difficult/dangerous in some scenarios) and have since switched to carrying klein sheers, but if I had a use for the other tools and I just wanted to carry one thing - roxxon is very compelling.

    If Victorinox would swap out the serrated combo blade for a standard plain edge blade, the one handed Trekker would be perfect - well almost, it still needs a flip out Phillips rather than the mid back version and the magnifying glass...oh wait that's the Explorer which would be perfect with the plain edge one handed blade😮!
    It's really tough to beat Victorinox under $100. Too bad they don't have a custom build your own program.

    Respectfully disagree about the clip. It depends on whether you are clipping the tool on the *inside* of a pocket, or on the outside of a pocket, belt, etc. The presumption is that the user is right-handed, as most will be. If you have this installed on the outside (such as on a belt), the placement of the clip makes sense. With it installed externally, the user will reach "down and over the tool", and the clip will be opposite the palm side, while the knife will be by the thumb for one-handed opening. I'm 100% sure their engineers considered this and decided to offer a tool that would be readily grabbed from the outside of wherever it is hanging. And there is no hard and fast rule about "where the pocket clip always goes" -- it is a matter of design and decision.
    A better solution in gerneral is to have a clip that can be installed on either side.
    And the best solution of all is to have a clip that can be installed on either side at either end.

    I've had the Roxon Phantasy for.. Oh it must be 8 years now. It's incredible. I use the utility knife/box cutter the most for work, but switch out to the clip point blade for day to day use. Only 2 issues, one of which is a good thing, and the other I have fixed. That being the lock on the liner lock where it touches the swappable blades easily grinds away from the friction of opening and closing the knife repeatedly. I can now hold it by the blade while its closed and flick it open, but it still stays closed and I dont worry of it opening by mistake. The other is that the 2 nubs for the locks to take the handle apart stick out juuust a bit from the handle, so they catch on stuff and I have often had one end unlock and mess up the opening action. I used to clip it to my belt loop so it was exposed, and catching on stuff. Now I've made a leather sheath for it, so only the bottom lock is exposed but is now no longer touching anything because of positioning. Highly recommend, if they still sell it.

    In Europe, knives that open with one hand (in this case with the thumb on the blade button) are prohibited from carrying on the street, for that same reason, it is no longer compatible in the European market....

    When buying a new knife the last thing I would not want to do is start by tightening up faster on the knife . That wobble on the blade, you pointed out about washer placement. Curious why they're own qualified inspection team would miss that. But interesting knife I must say.

    I have carried a SUper Tinker for decades, and the steel these blades are made from is forever. They never get any rust growing on them. It also fits the pocket real well, and the scissors are excellent. I trim my fingernails quite well with them, punch air holes in the bottom of my dogs food cans with the phillips, shave with the big blade and cut everything else with the small blade. The Super Tinker has been made and sold for many decades and the steel is, as I said, outstanding.

    I love the tool selection. I often find with victorinox is the combination of tools that I actually want is never in one unit, it's always like 3 tools I'd never use and one or two that I love.
    I'd love company to offer a choose your combo.

    I love these knives And the multi tool this company puts out. I love how the blades can interchange and if you break a blade. You can always just carry extras to either replace a broken or Double blade. Also the designer of the block song must be left handed because I always have to move the pocket clips to the other side

      If you think about the system they use to deploy the tools, and not only on the blade, it will make sense why the pocket clip is where it is. The pocket clip would render impossible, or way difficult to use the push/pull for deploying or unlocking the tools.

    I have two Roxons. One has just a blade and that excellent pair of scissors. Also one that has interchangeable blades. Quite impressed. I'll look for this one. I do already have a collection of SAKs and LMs, but I think the new Free stuff is an expensive joke. I like the Juice series.

    I carry one everyday. It’s lacking in build quality. It’s such a travesty, because the design is literally my PERFECT EDC. Very upset that the detent isn’t strong, the blade wiggles, and don’t EVER disassemble this tool 😂 it will never be the same again. PLEASE, SOMEONE MAKE A HIGHER QUALITY VERSION OF THIS EXACTLY DESIGN. I WILL SPEND $100 FOR IT.

    "DEPLOY" a blade?
    I've carried a folding knife (slipjoint) since age 4.
    I've OPENED a blade Zeus and his brother Hades might know how many times. I have never "deployed" a blade.
    TROOPS are "Depolyed". You can also "deploy" a naval force. A folding knife blade is OPENED.
    "Deploy"/"Deployed" and "open" are NOT the same thing.
    "Deploy" is "SEND"; NOT "OPEN".
    The scissors on the KS2 are larger than the SAK and most Leatherman ... at least the full size Leathermans.
    How do the 92mm and up SAK scissors compare in cutting the cord?
    Have you copared the performance of the KS2 scissors to the 89mm SAK Evo Grip/Wenger scissors?
    I find the Evo Grip/Wenger scissors btter than the 92mm and up SAK scissors, which are the same size. I also prefer the Wenger design that uses a backspring over the prone to break (but easy to replace - if you have one handy) V - leafspring Vic uses on their spring loaded scissors.
    There are times the spring loaded VIc/Wenger scissors come in handy.
    For the tool set, I think I will pass on the KS2. I need pliers a lot more than scissors.
    My current daily multi-tool carry is a Victorinox SAK Hercules and a Leatherman Charge+ TTi.
    Both have pliers that actually work, and springloaded scissors when needed.
