    I ordered 3 of them right after watching your video. They arrived yesterday. I had intended to use them for Christmas presents. Took one to work today only to find the assembly is much too tight. I tried to loosen it up but stripped a couple of screw heads. Seems like a T9 size with a ridiculous amount of locktite. I haven’t been able to loosen the knife/saw side: impossible to deploy one handed. Hopefully the other two are better assembled. Really love the scales compared to the modded Multiforce.

    Honestly, I've really crapped on the Swiss Army Knife design. For a long time I could not conceive of carrying so many useless tools... Then I grew up. I used to prefer a designated locking knife, but then you realize that you could've used the scissors and file today to trim your nails, or a bottle cap opener, or a screwdriver just all the time. Long story short I've been carrying the Cybertool M from Victorianox for a while but am now looking for a tool that has a file maybe I go with the large or another tool completely.

Wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit, but oh well. Since I already have a DeWalt drill, charger and batteries there was no need to buy more of those so this was a great deal.There is one other consideration. DeWalt does't sell the depth guide separately so you need to buy the three parts which make it up -- the N275350 block assy, the N275341 metal rod and the N278801 knob. Amazon does sell all three.

    What I don't get is why don't victorinox make 1 handed opening tools for the US market? In Germany we need to have two handed (if it's locking). It's a must. Even leatherman made a 2h wave version which I assume is focused on the european market. So it would just make sense for victorinox to do the same for the US market. Especially considering one of their partners, Felix Immler, already made a video on how to make a 1 hand opening mod.

      1. The 111mm and 130mm series is both (mostly) one handed and locking.
      2. Victorinox starts as an European company and they verge towards European market. European knife laws are very restricted and it would be extremely stupid, from them, to complicate their business model (which relies on industrial stamping sheets tool that can be sold extremely affordable but still being made in Europe, which is a huge plus for the whole world market since European “made in” is a guarantee stamp, even renowned like the Italian one (DOCs and such)) and it would be stupid since they would not sell in Europe, Asia and Australia/NZ as much as their other models.
      That’s why.

    I'm a Victorinox man myself, I wear my Airboss every day(highly recommend). I'll be completely honest. My personal favorite is the Sprit Xbs. I find it's not too heavy and yet feels sturdy and strong. I have Leatherman of all shapes and sizes and a few Sog, don't get me wrong, they all great. I personally just prefer Victorinox products, and like you said, lifetime guarantee. Great video sir

    Buy once, cry once. Time will tell. I've bought inexpensive multitools over the years, they have never lasted very long. My Leatherman's and Victorinox's are so well built they last forever.

    Dom - Here's one that checks all 3 boxes: Ben Petersen's Civivi Sendy. Pocket clip. One handed opening (really cool in line back flipper with insane action). Liner lock (dead on 50%). The drop point is very similar in size (slightly bigger) than a 93mm Alox. It comes in NitroV (essentially 14c28n) and has tweezers and a toothpick. Pairs great with a 58mm pen model or a SwissCard, particularly for a night on the town. And the fidget factor is off the charts.

    I really like the form factor of the swisstech/ 1/2 multitool. If they could make it will all locking tools and a T-shank saw, it would be a home run.
    Wait a sec... can you disassemble the tool and swap the tool orientations and make the 1/4 bit holder locking?! It sure looks like it here 7:07

    Alox farmer with a titanium pocket clip on the ring (this makes is suspended = goodness). Benchmade 710 in the other pocket, Olight S20 in the 3rd and signal in the bag, raptor + cat tourniquet + israeli bandage on the side of the bag. This setup is pretty stable for years, I still use proper tools when possible, but most of the time it's faster just to tinker with a multitool and get things done without moving, without delay. It's all a question of lazyness. This SWISS TECH 11 in 1 is an interesting proposition.

    Another video where I get enthusiasm about a cheap, good for starters, best value multitool...and of course I'm left empty handed as: not available anymore or it is not 20 but 40 USD, or it is available on Amazon, which means 27% taxes (welcome to Hungary :)) and around 12 % customs. And sometimes the video is 3 months old, not 1.5 years as this one.

    I just got my SwissTech and outside of the issues, it's exactly what I needed. My scissors are bent a little making the spring bar slip off and making it harder to close. The main blade rubs when closing too. I sent the Ali retailer a message and will see what they want to do. Hopefully it's just this one. Seems like it was crushed a little or something.

    Of course this is your view point, and thank you for that. In my opinion Leatherman in last 30 years is the best. On the other hand when I fly light I can’t have any knife on me so I make my edc tins with sawing , screw driver and plyers only and here comes Swiss tech. Mini but stronger then victorinox plyers stripped of the rest tools ( only flash light left ) and added hex bit end on other side makes me the minimum on board of the plane. So you’re right about Swiss Tech

    Anyone actuall tested the steal on the Swiss tech? In the user manual for 18in1 V2 it says 3cr13 which is a downgrade from previous cr5.. It also noticed that the handle material is thinner on the V2. Im just going off pictures and spec here so any actual testing would be helpful here for future buyers.

    I realize you do these videos for a purpose. However, you do know there are multiple versions of the Swiss army knife that come from the factory with a locking blade… As for the versions that do not, that is by design not by accident. Because the primary market for Victorinox products is in countries with draconian knife laws that prohibit locking blades. Therefore they design to the specifications that fit within those laws. They have built a company around being known as the standard for a harmless pocket knife that you can carry anywhere around the UK or EU and nobody will bother you a question it pretty much anywhere. That’s one of the reasons they put so many tools all over the knife because it makes it into a tool by definition that just happens to have a bleed rather than a weapon.
