Victorinox Tinker: MacGyver’s EDC Choice

Victorinox has been on the block for awhile and they offer tons of blades and tools. I’m certainly digging them and I plan on increasing my collection in the future.
I’ve opened wine bottles more than I’ve used the Phillips screwdriver, but I have a Tinker as well. I’m glad SAKs come in hundreds of variations so everyone is left satisfied.
The tiny slothead on the bottle opener is actually intended for a Phillip's screw. That's one reason I actually went for the Spartan - the original - because I prefer variety over redundancy. (I also have a Leatherman that includes a Phillip's screwdriver and pliers).
To carry the knife, I use a Swissclip and clip it in my back pocket. I also bought the micro-screwdriver to go into the corkscrew for working on eyeglasses.
Anyone who appreciates these old knives should also check out Swiss Knife Shop. They can do custom engravings for most of the models out there. Mine is engraved with "e pluribus unum" as a joke on the multi-functionality of the SAK as well as for patriotism.
I thought the slot on the bottle opener is a wire stripper?
Here is the unspoken truth of EDC:
You don't have a true EDC unless it has a Victorinox in there somewhere.
Thx for the video. For my job, the tinker is nice to keep in the pocket. There are times I don’t need to go to a tool box/bag because I always have the tinker with me.
The toothpick is there to clean of the gunk and lint. Atleast thst´s my use for it. I prefer the Tinker Small, the actual model MacGyver used regulary.
I carried a succession of Tinkers exclusively for over 40 years. I've lost some, given some away and ruined one, but I've never broken one, try as I might. Even though I've added a couple of SAK/s to my rotation in recent years, I still think that the Tinker is the best light- to medium-duty multiknife ever made.
I carry a Compact most of the time now. It's a great 2 layer SAK
My favorite Swiss Army knife I never use a cork screw so I like the Philips head screwdriver much more
That’s what I get for commenting before watching the video lol you mentioned it exactly. Thoughts on the Super Tinker?
The MacGyver Knife 🇨🇭👍
My E.D.C.is a Super Tinker because the scissors are so useful and I encounter more phillips screws than wine corks.
Hey Miller, don't forget the tiny hole visible when one opens the phillips bit...it's for storage of a strait pin. I've used these Swiss tools (Wenger, Victorinox, Swiza) for years, they are of excellent quality.
KISS mode when it comes to multi tools. Swiss Army knives are a good start. If you check near Philips bit when it is open, there is a tiny hole in the knife scale to place a 1" straight pin in there for removing wood splitters. I own two SAK, the Huntsman and the Tinker.
My first knife ever was a used 1950 imperial camping knife my poppa had ( had we kids got our 1st knife back in the day) im 60 now and while i carry other knives as a second knife my current one is a QSP Parrot, i have carried a SAK almost daily Since 1980 it was a Huntsman, and then went to a Tinker. But Everyday first thing in my pocket and last thing out at night is my SAK Spartan i carry today. 🦉🦉
i keep em in the boxes i have oil and a sharpener
Ive had one of these Tinkers since the 90s
I’ve got the (now discontinued) Wenger equivalent with black grip panels. My Wenger doesn’t have a wire stripper. I need to order replacement tweezers and toothpick, mine were missing when I found my knife.
I've had a swiss army knife for over 20 years now. It's a great edc tool. It's iconic and a quality tool.
The tweezers it had were epically useful to
nice ...I have a super tinker it has scissors also ..and I have one with pliers and chisel.fingernail file .it's a Marlboro one
He uses a tinker small too (possibly more?) Which imho is just that much more pocket friendly. Don't get how people carry the deluxe or some of the Swiss champs etc. May as well carry a tool box in your pocket, no the tinker and Spartan are best pocket carry while remaining useful
Great tool but I definitely prefer a locking blade. I used to have a Victorinox locking blade and then I lost it unfortunately
i found one in the woods some years ago i have it in my gear
luv it. gimme sum more
Ik believe that Mac had the small tinker.
a sak is always on me except when i fly. buy decent used ones on ebay for $10.
I had a Tinker in high school. Lost it when I got in the Navy. I think it fell out of my pocket😕
I lost a spyderco delica in Iraq. I know the feeling. 80 bucks down the tube….now haji has it probably.
Cab you do anything with these knifes like macgyver?
@@JustinMacri007 lol I wish! I majored in biology and minored in chemistry but I really didn't love chemistry so I don't quite think like Macgyver. Also, he has a deeper understanding of physics. I'm better with anatomy and physiology, as I am a physical therapist.
For your next video on Swiss Army knives & MacGyver’s EDC Choice, I strongly recommend you do your homework on MacGyver’s EDC Choice before making another Faux Pas. The Tinker was Not his most common EDC choice, according to SAKWiki ( the SAK collectors bible ) it was the 74mm Executive & BTW the Tinker he used was the old model 84mm Tinker small & yours looks more like the modern & larger 91mm model Tinker & note that there was no sewing eye hole on the reamer / awl on his unlike on yours. This is the passage from SAKWiki & you will not find even a mention on the 84mm Tinker page about MacGyver using the Tinker & these folk know their stuff : "The Executive is one of the few Swiss Army Knives that can be positively identified in the television show MacGyver, which aired from 1985 to 1992, thanks to the distinctive appearance of the orange peeler. For instance, episode fourteen of the first season had a scene in which the star of the show uses the orange peeler of an Executive to pry the lids off of four tubes of acid that were part of a bomb. The opening credits for each show, following the first season, included a portion of this footage. Whilst MacGyver used many Swiss Army Knife models, this was most likely, the most commonly used model." Note that I have not made my post to belittle or deliberately humiliate you in anyway, simply to rectify the mistaken information you posted.
MacGyver used a Tinker Small with a can key/split Phillips screwdriver. Harder to find. I own one. Just to be exact. Not to belittle either.
@@stephengaren2219 Happy Sunday Stephen, well done in owning one & hold onto to it they are now extremely hard to find. I am disappointed that the Channel owner has not responded as he has whether knowingly or not posted mistaken information & needs to correct it by checking out SAKWiki & making a post with corrected info for his viewers !
@@stevesinclair4159 I own four Executives, got them before the price increase. I have multiples in my collection, some by choice, some because of lot sales to get what I didn't have. People have offered to buy and I decline. Some are just getting too rare to consider parting with, especially the earlier models. I have a few 111mm Picnickers, Adventurers and Alpineers (slide locks). Used to pick up Alpineers for around $20-$25 but not anymore. I have over fifty Victorinox knives in my collection. Have a Camper arriving midweek that looks to be from the MacGyver era in photos. Nothing is being sold, even my multiples because, again, they're getting harder and harder to find and high priced when found. I think this comment thread will suffice in educating people about what knives were actually used in the MacGyver series. Swiss Army Dan and Mark Coffman have videos to educate people as well. Not knocking the guy here as he is close to being correct. The Tinker Small was used in the first MacGyver episode so technically it was a Tinker model. I'd say the Executive is the best known MacGyver knife, based on your post. I'm glad I got four of those before they shot up to close to $100. Discontinued model and discontinued size. I got them prior to the price increase/size discontinue. The aforementioned Tinker Small and the Executives are prized in my collection. Happy Sunday to you as well.
@@stephengaren2219 like you I have several mint condition slide lock 111mm models:- 2 x Picnickers, one red, one black, 2 x Rucksacks ( Foresters ) one red & one blue, 1 x black slide lock Outrider , 1 x the ultra rare red " Lockblade Knife " just a few hundred were made in 2019 & sold in the factory shop & on the website of one favored Swiss knife retailer ( where I bought mine ) . I have 2 mint condition black 74mm Executives bought on a Slovakian website as they are so hard to buy as they are not made every year but in small batches about once every 5 years in a ratio of 4 red to 1 black. I have amassed over 180 Victorinox knives of which 110 are the decorative scaled 58mm models & rare multi-layer 58mm SAKS such as the Mate version 1 & version 2 & the 1st version of the Vagabond & the Cavalier - all in mint condition & a used but grade A+ condition 1st version of the mini-champ. I am now into collecting Wengers & Swiss Bucks ( some are in mint condition & others used but grade A+ condition ) I have about 35 other Victorinox collectables some like the Motorist are now very rare, 5 larger SAKs in my home tool kit & around 30 SAK's for EDC rotation.
However, the Tinker 91mm (L) & the Tinker 84 mm(S)were used in the series quite a bit...
