wait till he finds out about titanium copper and brass scales for Victorinox and mods oof
Victorinox has a hard core following. I have 6 of them but I don't collect them myself. I do have friends that buy and customize as much as they can. Including the Fire Ant, a fire starter attachment to the cork screw.

... on Aliexpress for half a price
@@morriganmhor5078 most people who buy custom parts for edc stuff like that also buy to support local American business so they're not likely gonna go to aliexpress just because its cheaper
@@imcrummy6114 That I understand. But there is some problem with the US trade: if I want some knife or perhaps moonclips from US manufacturers because of (perhaps higher quality and accepting 50% higher prices)they are unable to sell me their wares and send them to Europe. China doesn´t have that problem. How do you think you win the trade war with such attitude?
I think Victorinox should make their own clips available. Yes its damn usefull!
You can get these tiny steel clips that ride on the key ring for about a dollar a piece on ebay
$20-$26 ain’t nothing in this hobby 😂😂 wait until you see all these other aftermarket mods
I have scales that are almost same price I got the knife for
I spent £200 on a custom SAK 😆
I think if you really like Victorinox and you want a clip for it than it makes sense. On paper it probably doesn’t make sense to spend as much on the clip as the knife but it’s a hobby to most and if we just did what makes sense we would only have one knife!
hard pass! When I carry a SAK, it has ALWAYS been in a pocket. Never been a problem.
Exactly! I'v pocket EDCed the same Swiss Champ for 35 years. I have very little interest in pocket clips for any pocket knives, in fact I avoid buying them to the point of not buying the knife at all if I can't take the clip off .
Word.
In fact on knives that I use day to day I remove the pocket clips ,they just add weight and get in the way is all they do.
Just got one of the Swiss Qlip’s for my father for Father’s Day. They are pretty well built.
I’ve had a Swiss Champ since the early 90’s & I recently gave it to my son as a beater for him because I got a new one in translucent blue and I love it. If you know the Champ you know it’s too far/wide for a clip, I keep mine in a cordura sheath. I like the clip but it’s too pricey and not necessary imho though it looks great 👍🏼
Thanks Aaron great video, I think I like my SAK’s the way they are. Enjoy your weekend and god bless your family buddy
I use a Key Smart clip on my Victorinox Farmer X and it works pretty well. Basically dangles in the pocket so it's situated upright rather than laying cross ways in the bottom of the pocket. Best part: I think I paid less than $10 for it.
I use something similar called the UltraTac Deep Carry Clip. $8 for two. Works like a charm.
Looks like it can be had on Amazon for $20 at the moment. Considering the precision engineering that goes into that thing, that's not a bad price. There's plenty of people who are crazy about pocket clips that will pay that no problem. Personally, I see the fact that a SAK slips so nicely down into a pocket as an advantage. It's comfortable to carry and I'm not likely to loose it. I regularly pay $15 to add a set of plus scales to my SAK just to get a little pen that I very rarely use, so if you want to pay $20 for a well made pocket clip, I won't judge. That said, the affordability of SAKs is part of what makes them great and it is a bit silly to add expensive accessories to them but, it's a hobby.
You're the nutso keeping the price up!
Add your own clip. I did that with a Spyderco Endura when I broke the plastic clip they used to come with. I just screwed a clip to the handle as well as used JB weld. It will be even easier on plastic scale SAKS as they don't have the texture that the Endura has.
I love using epoxy putty and epoxy paste for DIY mods/fixes
You can get pocket clips that attach to the little split ring so they hang in your pocket.
Go on amazon & type in KeySmart Nano Clip Pocket Clip Key Ring Holder.
There are others if you look around, called different things, suspension pocket clip, belt clips. Way cheaper & I prefer them because you can easily remove them & they don't dig into your hand like a fixed clip.
That's what I did. Works great
That's what I have too. Smaller clip, deeper ride and out of the way and very minimal!
Great job on this one! Nicely done Aaron!
Neat, but for $26 you could get an entire tinker. I'd get the entire tinker haha
If you need a pocket clip to get to your 2- or 3-layer SAK, you have too much crap in your pockets.
I definitely have too much crap in my pockets
I stuck a tec accessories p-7 suspension clip to my custom sak (with alox scales) using double sided sticky tape (the foamy kind) and put one of the screws through the clip. Hasn’t come of yet.
Would be nice if it came with two or three for the price. Especially since most SAK collectors have more than one.
I waited for a pocket clip for my SAK for 40 years. All my SAKs are 10 plus years old. 26 bucks for a lifetime wait is a deal
Loved the low key humor in this vid 😁
Lately my SAK workchamp has had quite some pocket time. I have (3M)taped a Night Ize clip to the scales, and it works phenomenal!! (And cost around $9, with tape included 👌🏼)
I find that really useful and I miss it for my smaller SAKs like the sportsman or the cadet, but I wouldn't spend 25$ on that. I wish Victorinox came up with models that had this as a standard. The larger ones that I actually find more useful - like the forester or even better the hercules - I always carry in a belt sheath.
I got mine for 19 shipped. I don’t think that’s way overpriced or anything. I like it because I clip it in my back pocket next to my wallet. Helps wedge my wallet into place while allowing me to carry my spyderco in my front right pocket. I honestly don’t know why they don’t make some factory pocket clips for the popular models..
I've carried a Leatherman with a pocket clip in my back pocket for a while, but the thing was too heavy for dress pants at my new job. I've been looking to find the best minimalistic Victorinox to carry instead, but the SwissClip unfortunately won't fit the 84mm knives I like. As others have pointed out, a Techsmart P7 clip that attaches to the key ring might actually work better; it's cheaper, smaller, and shows less of the knife anyway.
I want to carry both a SAK and my Streamlight in my back pocket, but it looks weird for me to have a bunch of large or shiny clips sticking out when my shirt is tucked. I've tried putting the knife down in my pocket, but it's just not as comfortable and rattles around against my flashlight.
Any suggestions? Would a Techsmart P7 clip perhaps be better?
As usual, thanks again for sharing your honest evaluation on a product. The biggest SAK that I use is that one-hander that has a partially-serrated blade. Otherwise, the other few that I have are small and light enough to just sitting inside my pocket. No Qlip for me.
I’d buy one love the Tinker!
What do you keep in your right front pocket? I have my phone, unless there is a welt pocket. A left hand carry for a secondary actually makes sense.
My knife and keys
i have one. I dont use it because the clip is super difficult to actually slide onto my pocket. The inner lip of the clip is too thick.
I have a small clip for the key ring, was about $2 🤔😅 bought 10 of them, works very well 😁👍
I had read in some of the forums, that parts of this clip was plastic of some sorts, plus that it was horrible once implemented, and a waste of
$$$, true or false?
I bought an aftermarket on Amazon that has an adhesive on it, its on my trekker I think it was like $5. and has been on it for years, just to large for smaller knives.
Are you willing to give the CJRB Feldspar a chance and give a review on it?
Might seem relatively expensive but that's average for an aftermarket clip. Just because the original item is so cheap doesn't mean it makes the accessories any cheaper.
It's very overpriced for a tiny bit of made in China metal. Those suspension pocket clips for keys work perfectly on a Victorinox & they're way cheaper.
@@sgtfatrod8901 if you want an aftermarket clip on literally another knife $20 would be a steal. Not to mention they are the only company to offer such a product.
@@dallasn16 Ok.....except i literally just told you about an alternative after market pocket clip that you can get that works perfectly on a Victorinox & for way less.
I got one for 17. I like it well. The clip just isn’t tight enough though.
Hey from France 🇫🇷 you’re right man 👍🍷
The ability to access my tinker without groping around the bottom of my pocket, or pull it from a hanger slip more than has paid for itself. You are correct it's not for everyone.Tthose who don't hard use their Victorinox for example.
I'v been pocket EDCing the same Swiss Champ for 35 years, it has saved my bacon many times. I would never want a clip on any SAK or any other pocket knives I own. In fact I take them off the moment I get the chance and I won't buy it if the clip isn't removable.
@@johnossendorf9979 Well, thank you for helping make my point. Something either works, or doesn't depending upon the user.
I bought one awhile back. Like you said, it works BUT I don’t like the look and it’s klunky. Can’t believe SAKs don’t come with pocket clips yet. So I use a separate single blade locking folder and a small-medium multi-tool.
Tech clip on the split ring. That’s the move and economical.
Yup. A black Tec P7 Suspension clip attached to the split ring is the way to go. And it’s barely noticeable in pocket. I have one on all the SAKs case I carry in pocket. Key Smart smart makes a similar clip.
I bought two, found out how well they work, and ordered three more.
Don't feel bad Aaron...I spent nearly $200 on four sets of micarta for my 4 Saks. Another good vid. Thanks much.
As I always say, the SwissQlip's biggest downfall os its price.
When you factor internacional shipping, It could arrive here in Brazil for around double the price of a SAK.
BUT
It is my favorite solution for carrying my 91mm!
Rock on!
you prefer the Ranger,i have his older brother SAK type Rucksack
Honestly, I modify those little brass hooks used to hang pictures on the wall. I use that & small keyring (found in craft sections) provides a deep carry & my SAK doesn't lay @ the bottom of my pocket. All SAKs I may carry now have those attached.
Hey if you want another knife to review the Tracker X off of Amazon looks interesting. D2 steel, big blade, maybe a good camp knife?
It's an option if you want it. But I think they should offer a replacement scale with a clip instead.
That would be awesome!!
I have a custom 91mm that has a Main Blade, Wood Saw, Metal Saw, Combo Tool, Scissors on top, corkscrew, reamer, chisel, mini screw driver on the back, (2) Helix tinders in the corkscrew, micarta scales with the ink pen, tweezers, and a Firefly ferro rod. It is basically a Ranger that is only as thick as a Huntsman. I call it a Compact Ranger...I have another the same without the metal saw, chisel and mini screw driver but it has a hook...I call that a Compact Huntsman. I keep my SAKs on my belt in leather sheaths that I made for them...not in my pockets. I don't like bulky crap in my pockets.
"Too Much Money?" There are a lot of folks running around carrying $550 sheath knives that don't cut any better than a $40 Condor. Meh. "Overpriced" is a matter of your budget and wants.
FWIW, I DO have a Swiss Clip but it only fits some SAKs with the keyring hole on the side that will accept it. I have it on a Huntsman and the clip keeps my knife nicely on my belt without needing a case, but it didn't fit on many of my SAKs.

Thank you sir!!
I have EDCed pocket knives in my pockets for 35 years. Iv been EDCing the same Swiss Champ for 35 of them. At this point clips just mess up my decades old pocket carry system, it's muscle memory built since the my first pocket knife which was a Barlow Dad gave me for my 10th Birthday.
Couldn’t agree more a pocket knife belongs in your pocket.
Can always count on you for a deep dive and honest review of an EDC/outdoor product. I’ve been drawn to the James Brand Ellis (mostly due to the Spyderco style wire clip). Living in the UK it’s always an issue with what you can get away with carrying… Blade has to be non-locking and under three inches. That’s why most UK EDCers carry a Victorinox or Spyderco UKPK. I was looking at this as a solution to get more use out of my Super Tinker, but may sway to. The Ellis and keep a very small key-chain style SAK in the 5th pocket of my jeans for tinkering tasks. Then you still have some drivers and the scale tools. Man, it’s such an endless rabbit-hole trying to get the perfect gear to settle on. That said, I have found my perfect EDC flashlight for my personal needs, and that is the Acebeam Pokelit AA. The user interface is perfect, as is it’s versatility. Only way it could be improved would be being a AAA size with the same kind of firepower, plus a magnetic tail base (without losing the tail switch. Anyway, excuse my complete ramble and thanks again!
Does swiss qlip fits with swiss knife nail clipper 580?
I made a lanyard from scratch moth 550 cord with a plastic hook, loop at the end for my belt. I can hang it in back pocket beside my wallet or in front pocket.
Being a lefty who constantly has to resheath and mod knives to carry comfortably, this made me smile and I immediately bought one for my Huntsman
I bought daily custom brass scales for my super tinker and micarta for my hiker. Don’t know if I’m allowed to answer here 🙈
I took a shot every time you said "Wonky".....Now I'm drunk.....
I have them on (2) 91mm, keeps dirt and debris from your pocket getting in the channels. Worth the$ to me
You can purchase a pack of keyring suspension clips for less than $10 and attach them to the Swiss Army Knife's split ring and they work just fine as pocket clips. Carried a Pioneer X no problem for several months that way.
I have one on my SAK Hiker, but the Hiker and my new Fieldmaster are rather thick knives, much more so than any of the folding knives I typically carry. As you say, a clip might be useful on my Ranger Grip 78, but I'm not sure I want that bulk at the top of my pocket.
Now you know what it feels like to be me!!! Not really, even though I'm a southpaw, I won't buy a pocket knife that isn't designed for left pocket carry!!!
I carried a SAK Super Tinker every day for about 30 yrs in my left pants pocket, before I lost it. Since then my edc includes a SAK Climber in that pocket. In the field, its a Huntsman, same pocket. Never have seen the need for a pocket clip or sheath for them.
I found a 7mm wide money clip, used a double sided industrial 3M tape and glue it to my Victorinox Pioneer X and Electrician. Works like a charm.
I thought it was a good idea. Bought one and put it on my edc swisschamp. It cracked my plus scales while installing. I went back to the key ring pocket clip. $25 down the toilet.
Ya that sucks
I love mine, very glad I bought it, it was $19
I like the clip that attaches to the knife pretty . On Amazon it's the suspension clip 20 pieces for $15. Obviously you can buy less. But for my Swiss army knifes and some other pocket knives it works great
Key Smart hook works great.
For about 25 clams , The Victorinox Manager works great , just a couple of Millimetres bigger than the SD Classic.
I've always opened my swiss army knives up. I've never opened them down
I just want them to make an Alox version of the Tinker. I don't need the clip on my Tinker.
I got 2 of them for price of one on Amazon prime day sale.
Yep - same here. I flirted with buying one, but decided it made my SAK too clunky, AND, as you pointed out - it just costs too much. I'm passing, too.
Hy, there is a lot of cheaper one on aliexpress and nealry the same maybe a lillte waker but you can buy nearly
10 for this price
Or ... you use the ring that most SAKs have and attach a clip with a short chain to it. Victorinox actually sells such a clip. You attach the clip to your belt or trousers and hang the knife into your pocket using the short chain. Works perfectly fine.
the tinker, spartan or recruit for me, or some of the alox versions too..
You have my vote. Not a fan of a tool box in my pocket in my 60 years of carrying a pocket knife I have yet to need anything other than a blade, But for 40 of those years I have carried a fixed blade also 6-5/8 long it is a very old western skinner stack leather handle and is always there if needed . Happy Trails.
Nowadays all I carry every day is a pocket knife with about a 3 inch blade. In years past, a pocket knife with a cap lifter and can opener was useful for me but now most bottles of pop or cans of food are twist or pull to open. Having said that, when travelling, camping or hiking I carry a larger knife in a sheath with some more features like an awl, a magnifying glass, screwdrivers, small saw and such. Also carry a sturdy fixed blade Finnish knife if going for some archery or camping.
I already got the pocket knife clip. I like it.
I do like the Swiss army tools I think that for the price most of them are perfect for backpacking camping EDC and it's not that I don't like Leatherman I own four and you can get Leatherman for about 40 bucks basic model I don't need anything too extravagant it works
It is nice but i think they should have it in the package when you buy the knife
I agree with your “hard pass” assessment of this ridiculously over-priced accessory. It’s like the insane markups that car dealerships slap on accessories like Scotch Guarding the seats, floor mats, window tinting and a host of electronic add-ons.
This is a great video. When I first saw this clip (was watching another video), I went to their site, with the shipping to Canada converting from US to CND would cost me $93.53. This clip is worth more than what I paid for my Hunstman!!! No Thanks....
Does the clip fit the pioneer alox?
Not sure check the list they offer
I like the idea of that pocket clip I do have the tinker and I have the Spartan in my opinion I prefer the Spartan more than the tinker in my opinion because the Spartan actually has the corkscrew and the corkscrew can hold a new product called the fire ant fire steel and they have another fire steel from the same company tortoise gear called the Firefly fire steel and they come in two different sizes for the small keychain Swiss army knife or the 90 1 mm or even the 111 mm it makes your Swiss army knife in my opinion that much better keep on bringing us good content I subscribe and like this
I can't say the price would be a big problem if I really wanted to clip a swiss army knife to my pocket. The real issue, as I see it, is how far it would stick out clipped to a pocket and how often it would catch on things.
Amazon has them for $19.99. Scored mine just now for only $16 when using a $5 off coupon!
My gunsmith once told me, "You pay me for what I know...not what I do." Same here...you pay for what it does and not what it is. Frankly at 26 bucks, you got ripped. Even on Amazon it's under $20. Usually discounted at knife shops for the mid teen. Yes, it is too much for the materials used. But it's worth every penny in it's engineering. We use it everyday and love it.
I find your gunsmith's point alluring.
The clip is a neat idea, but is not for me on the models SAK I tend to use, ie three/four layers. I find they are too bulky already to carry in the top of the pocket.
Glad you're happy with your purchase.
I can’t stand the feeling of things loose in my pocket. Received my 1st SAK as a gift so getting the clip isn’t too bad for me but still I would probably never carry it if it was just hanging loose in my pocket.
i wish they made one for the alox models
Not a fan of swiss army knives anyway. But thanks for the heads up. Should come on it anyway.
I use a Amazon key ring hook for $5 to keep mine in my pocket
So you’ll end up with a SAK + clip for around $50, for what is arguably one of the best pocket multi tools (non-pliers based). That seems like such a great value… is there really a cheaper option?
I would buy SAKs so much more if they had pocket clips on them. I have a Rangergrip that I love and others but seriously need pocket clips on their knives.
Most of us Europeans don't use pocket clips. I have one on the rescue knife i carry in my sleeve pocket but for me they usually are in the way not helpful. My Victorinox Fieldmaster is on the bottom end of my keychain. And before i used it, 35 years ago, it just rode at the bottom of my pocket. I think i still had my Hiker type back than it got confiscated by a bobbie when i visited the UK because it was a locking blade. It turns out that you can't have a locking blade on you in England, just a heads-up.
Sad. Don't understand way European citizens allow their governments to restrict them so much.
I understand the usefulness of clips but i don't care for them on my Victorinox tools. As long as the SAK and pliers have something to hook on i just use a paracord "suspender" for my belt. I did so for my SwissTool as well and it's far better than sheaths.
Used a nitize hip clip 4-5 $ it works fine
It's quite un-traditional to have a Qlip on the Swiss army knife but then again, we all pimp our tools.! I created a clip for my Swiss army knife and it can be use for all (almost anyway) multi tools. From Coleman to Trojan to Gerber to even Leatherman. Will definitely watch Live The Trek. The whole family watch your show mate. We'll give you our review..ha! ha!. Thanks for sharing.
I've owned a Swiss army knife since I've been a teenager I'm almost 60 I've never carried it I think they are cheesy.
Not cheesy at all. Very well made and designed and equally well reviewed by most other SAK channels on UA-cam.
Aliexpress has it for less than 10 bucks
While it hurt to hit the pay button. $20 + $20 shipping. It is really nice to have it on there. And if I ever decide to get a different SAK, I can just pop the screw out and put it on that one. Now if it was a single use item that mounts on and never comes off, it would be a hard HARD pass. But overall I like my SAK way better with it
I think its a good idea to get the knife up from the bottom of the pocket, wear and tear, lint and general debris...
but at what cost?
The price is horrendous, the clip ads too much bulk, and it takes an effort to get it to ride flush with the top of the pocket.
I also find all but the slimmest SAK to be too thick to be worn at the top of the pocket, only one and two layer knifes are slim enough for such carry.
And there's the nitpick regarding access to the tweezers.
It's a pass for me.
I foolishly bought one of these and as soon as i installed it i hated it. I actually use the hook for my magnet and tieing rebar together and the clip makes it impossible to dig out without another tool, the tweezers need the toothpick like he says, and it was super expensive. I was under the impression i was getting 2 bc the pic showed a silver and a black together but thats more on me for not double checking. It is a really great clip otherwise and if they could find a way to remove the top profile prohibiting u from getting to the tweezers and maybe have the back screw sit flush with the hook instead if poking out, it could be a great product… oh and if ur gonna sell em at over $20, at least give us both the silver and black together
if anyone looking for a cheeper alternative here is a quick tip:
Take a hair pin (those cheep black ones) and put it in the scale with the toothpick. it's not amazing but it's do the job
19.99 on Amazon now.
a review of a pocket clip but you didn't even show it in the pocket!?!
