Dude you’ve come a long way it was awesome seeing your first sponsor and the first time someone sent their product for you to review. Keep up the good work and happy holidays!

I already have a few SAKs and I really don’t feel compelled to get any of this collection. Can’t blame Victorinox for trying to appeal to a wider audience. I’ve never used their can opener, but I regularly open boxes, with any chance they’ll include this tool in their regular pocket knives in the future. :)

I think they should put the normal red scales on it, and drop the price a lot, but I doubt they will.

People ragging on replacing a can opener with a package opener have completely lost the mission. We no longer need a pocket tool to open cans. We haven’t needed such a tool in 50 years. We do, however get multiple Amazon packages on a daily basis and not gumming up my primary blade with packaging tape is a good thing. Stop trying so hard kids

Great review, ty. I like this knife and most Victorinox models. I just don't need the cork screw, ever. Rather have a Phillips driver in place of the cork screw. "Package opener" is curious in place of a can opener. Sorta miss the red scales.

I'm with you. Fashion over functions.

I’m waiting for one with plain scales, but I bet the serrated edge is good for slicing up boxes as well. I wish they’d throw in some pliers and maybe a phillips head and this knife would be pretty cool 🤙

I have the companion model in the wood the spirit edition. These models were apparently marketed for women, but I really like the package opener, and the nail cleaner is useful after i get messy in the wild!

I open way more boxes than I would ever need to open a can with a multitool. I opened 1 can, just to try the difference between Leatherman and Victorinox. I am curious if this works on bubble packaging like the Leatherman Wingman or Rev's package opener. I was excited to see the new tool and that it had the Scissors and file on the same tool. It's not that big file but it's still a file, which is awesome and finally a 3 layer not Wenger style Scissors with the file. I don't understand why this isn't a win for everyone. Yeah, I hope it eventually gets a normal scale release but if people act like this, it might not get a regular release. 😞

@WeAllJuggleKnives yeah, I am going to pick 1 of these up. The Victorinox Compact, with the plus tools has a premium price but this has everything I have been wanting. I will be changing out the scales, because the New York Style is sold out but I have been wanting to get some Micarta plus scales anyways for a Victorinox and this is definitely a good 1 for that. Thanks for being positive about this. 😀

I think this is the perfect Victorinox for me! I'm a woman in my mid 40s and a graphic designer (so personally, I love the funky graphics). I wanted a multi tool that could be an EDC for work and everyday life in the city (hence the pen, and boxcutter). I also love to go camping. I live in Greece and camping "in the wild" is prohibited.. especially lighting fires. 90% of the time, we camp in camping grounds.. or illegally near one, so we can have access to restaurants, mini markets and coffee shops 😂 ..so I can't really see the use of a can opener and saw. The hook is ideal for me, as I also suffer from rheumatoid arthritis in the hands, so using it too pry open a can of soda, or pull tight my laces, really is useful. Shame they don't add a pin. Thank you for your review!

It's a Climber with the package opener in place of the can opener at 3 maybe 4× the price, to be honest i think it's aimed at people with money who are buying Christmas gifts and collectors who just have to have it. I can live without it. Merry Christmas Israel, all the best mate.

The Climber doesn't have a nail file/nail cleaner, pen, or the lanyard. This is a collector's edition with painted scales. Collector's editions aren't good values, but it's only $31 more than the Climber, which is not even 2x the price. I'm guessing a cheaper version will come out once eventually. And bear in mind the Compact today is $59 without the special scales, lanyard, and third layer, and the Compact has a really lousy nail file.

Nice review. That said, for the money, I like my Swiss Champs in Ruby and Sapphire.

Definitely different and interesting. I like the handle graphics

I'm hoping for a regular production model and in black where they can be had on Amazon for around $40. That sounds like the right price considering you can get a black Climber for less than $30 on Amazon and a red one for about $28

All Victorinox are great imho, if they offered a version of most of their knives, where the main blade was in a supersteel, they would sell millions of them, people would "duplicate" their favourite knives, with the upgraded model,, I know I would,, The only downside to the SAK, is the blades don't hold the screaming edge for very long,,. Regarding this package opener, it's easy to modify the existing can opener, to have sharp edges and do the same thing, I know, I've done it on most of my knives,, Merry Christmas my friend,, 🎅

Collector blade indeed brother. 👊💀

Nice! I think it a little over priced for my EDC needs but understand it a “collectors piece.” For EDC I rather have a 3D Phillips but the corkscrew can be useful for untying knots and for microdriver storage. I have heard the package opener can be used in a pinch as a can opener but in this pull tab, easy open world the package opener may be a tool that time has come. Thanks for sharing

I like the idea of a package opener for use on plastic as a safer alternative to a knife. However, having no can opener would be too great a loss of function for that multi-tool. That makes it a zero for me.

So many brick and mortar stores are gone, and most of us have no choice but to order online and thus open lots of boxes. The new package opener would be a winner for me, especially if it does a good job with those obnoxious hard plastic packages. I hope it shows up on more SAK variants. I like the toolset on the Companion but hate the scale patterns, and I’m not willing to pay extra because of the Plus scales and pen.

Ehhhhhh Yeah agree with you. Collectors maybe. Ill stay with my Climber and Pioneer X. Also had no idea about these knives so Thank You👍

I like the package opener on the Gerber dime, and it doesn't look like that at all.

Love the package opener on my Leatherman, so a package opener implement on a sak is cool and a modern upgrade because most cans have pull tabs now and clamshell packages are what we deal with more often. But I'm not keen on 75 bucks for basically a Climber. Plus you lose the can opener. And the end of the can opener is your 2d Phillips and small flathead screwdriver because it is a corkscrew model. They should pair the package opener with the combo can opener/ cap lifter/Phillips flathead blade they use on the Compact and Bantam. Surprised they didn't.

SO it means you'll be opening a lot of packages. In a world, where you own nothing and are happy about it, this will be a useful tool.

Picked up a climber for 27 dollars. Ridiculous price.

I like that they at least tried SOMETHING new, even if it's just colorful scales and a tool that's sorta useful sometimes. John Gadget has an excellent video where he talks about Victorinox trying to move themselves into a lifestyle brand and away from just a knife\ multi-tool company. It's good for their expansion, but terrible for knife innovation which is where the overwhelming majority of us fans most want innovation.

For sure. It has become almost impossible to support Victorinox with reviews, because they come out with so few new models that people want, and they sit on old models that everyone has asked them to bring back and they just ignore it. The pricing on their Swisstool multitools has also become too high.

Corkscrew...we prefer wine opening attachment.....😅

Pretty sad that this is their newest series 😢, their sisccors are great but hate how they always come with the parcel hook

Victorinox just changed something which is no longer up to date. How many cans do you open in a year? And how many packages? I‘m quite sure that „normal“ people in an urban environment open 100 times more packages than cans. You don‘t have to be rich to order stuff online and get packages. Anyway, another fact is that 99 % of the Victorinox knifes still have the good old can opener. So, no worries. Greetings from Germany.

Lol. I see nothing the "package opener" does that can't be done at LEAST as easy with, ya know, the knife blade lol. I mean, I don't normally use the can opener, but at least it serves a purpose. If my regular can opener breaks or something while I'm using it the little can opener would at least let me finish opening the can and cover me until I can get to Walmart or something and buy a new one. And as useless as the package opener might be...they somehow managed to also fit the one tool I consider even more useless, the stupid hook thing. It does look kinda nice though.

@@DShiflet01 no, not really. A dull knife will still cut through cardboard, but you can’t use a dull knife for much else. It’s better to use the package opener and save your knife edge for something that needs it.

The “package opener” would be useful if you were opening a package containing perishables that you did not want accidentally pierced by a longer blade. It may possibly help with surgical first aid in the field as a last resort… maybe… if you didn’t want to use a longer blade from fear of accidentally piercing or slicing too deep. I’m okay with Victorinox putting out this model with their new package opening accessory but I do NOT want them to stop making the models with the can openers.
