I have the Huntsman for camping and outdoors. If I’d had a green or camo colour I’d have lost it several times. I have yellow, easy to see in the grass! Wish they did fluorescent orange! I’d buy those scales! Lol

@@chevy4x466 I am not the only one to mention the Explorer, It has all the tools of a Climber plus the inline phillips screwdriver. It is thicker but if you want a thin knife pick the Compact which is on his list. Besides when you get to be an old _uck like me you will appreciate the magnifying glass.

Old *uck here 🙋🏻‍♂️😂... I carried an Explorer for a very long time, then I found the pliers on a deluxe tinker very useful for my day to day... But I did miss the magnifying glass... I ended up getting a little Keychain magnifier I got at Ace hardware, is attached to the keyring on the deluxe tinker

​@@NJRey The Deluxe Tinker is another great model with its super tweezers. That’s the problem with the premise of this video, the five best for who ? The ones listed maybe best for the author but not for his audience and there particular needs. Victorinox is pretty good at addressing a lot of different needs I think it is why most SAK owners have more than one.

My EDC for over 30 years has been my Swiss Champ. I’d be lost without it.

My Dad also gave me a Climber. Mine's black and it will always be a special knife for me. I do a lot of things outdoors, so now I like having the very effective saw, so I agree with your inclusion of the Huntsman. Great, quick review.

The combo tool definitely works as a can opener. I’ve been purposely buying non-ring pull tins and blasted through about 50 with it. The corner Philips also works. I’ve wandered around my house dismantling all manner of shit just to test it out 😅

It does make a good can opener. My favorite are the Wenger claw can openers though. Too bad they can't be used as a screwdriver tho.

Great presentation. My favourites are the Field-master and the Ranger.

All very good choices, but I was a bit surprised that the Explorer wan't included. It's one of my favourites fro urban carry ( if I don't want to carry the Swiss Champ and small Tinker for some reason or other ). But that's the joy ( or possibly the curse lol ) of SAKs. There's so many great ones to choose from.

Great selection there Slippy, i still need to add a Tinker variant to the collection, maybe in black! I have a Fieldmaster, which i believe is the Huntsman but with a philips driver instead of the corkscrew. But the compact is the one I tend to pull out the drawer, a perfect all-rounder for me.

How do you find the combo tool as a replacement for the full opener layer? It seems like it would be harder to use in a Phillips screw versus the 2D Phillips on the end of the can opener.

I don’t understand either. Not the world we grew up in, Jerry. Most guys at my high school had a very obvious belt sheath and a 110 and it was never an issue. I just got my first Victorinox since I was a kid too. It’s a Swiss Army 1. Just has a single blade and that’s it, so I’m not sure it really counts. I do love it though and the Alox scales are sweet! And I have a Floral/Gardening knife and a Pruner knife on the way… and they both have just single blades too.🤣
