First video of 2021. I’ve had this Victorinox Ranger for 6 years now and have used it quite a bit. It is definitely one of my favorite models of Swiss knife, because it has a lot of useful tools for its size. I added the mini screwdriver to the corkscrew and a Firefly firestarter in place of the toothpick.

Solid! So many people don’t really hard use their victorinox in reviews it’s all this white glove crap. Other than the pliers I really feel like the victorinox tools are much better than my leatherman (other than the pliers)

I shifted from my 8 years old huntsman to this just last year, I must say its little difficult to adjust to added size but I must also add that this is the only swiss knife I'm willing to replace it with. So that's that :3

Man, you got in shape! Great work! Happy you’re living healthy.

Swiss Ranger fan here, I have three. My original one was from Scouts and now lives in the car. I put plus scales on the pile side. A second one lives in my daypack which attaches to a guides pack so the knife is always with me in the backcountry whether dayhike or extended trip. I put green plus scales on it and replaced the toothpick with a firestarter. The third one has camo plus scales and has the firestarter and pen. It lives in the safe but is carried on occasion. A Vic Explorer with saphire plus scales is part of my edc rotation. Cool video, thank you.

Nice video. I just got a Ranger from Victorinox as a gift because they messed up my purchase of a watch purchase gone bad, not once but 3 times. Frustrating as that drawn out process was they made it right by customer service sending me a Ranger to make up for the grief. So Im happy they did that as it speak volumes, they could have just blown me off but they made good. Now I have another swiss army, cant have too many.

That's why it's a metal saw.

Bought one last week nice knife.

I was thinking of possibly getting the Ranger in the future (first I'm getting a RangerGrip and a Classic), as it seems to be one of the cheapest models with scissors, wood saw and metal file/saw. I think that they should've replaced the toothpick with a diamond blade-sharpening tool in that slot for this model (and other models if they choose). This would be a good addition (I bet 99% of the population would agree), as I heard Victorinox uses a softer steel on their blades, so sharpening in the field would be nice to have built within certain (or all?) models. There's room to put another slot or two in there, I'm sure. :) I do know of the pen-sized blade sharpener that Victorinox sells but, having it built into the knife itself would be great as backup, at the least. Being a newbie-novice to knife sharpening (and multitools) myself, I just bought a cheap beginner tool: the Lansky Blade Medic for $10 on Amazon. The diamond rod, at the tip, looks even thinner than what would fit in the toothpick slot of a 91mm SAK! So it surely can be done, if they try! Do you know of the 'trick' where you can use a 1/4" square to 1/4" hex adapter with some of the SAK bottle openers? Pretty cool! I learned of this by watching one of Nikos Doulas NikGyver videos; one of his Swiss Army Knife 'hack' videos.

Love my Ranger. My EDC.

Because of this video is why i got Ranger 3 months ago. Changed scales with white plus one and now its in my pocket all the time. All the tools You will ever need. Sometimes i think what would Macgyver do if he had one😁

I have several thicker SAKs, but the Ranger remains my favourite in terms of sizing - It's pretty much as thick as it is wide, which is about as thick as you'd want to go for carrying and holding. Several other popular 91mm SAKs have fewer layers but still have this same ratio of dimension. I'd agree with your remark about the pliers, but only because Leatherman's smaller pliers are generally better than Victorinox's. I prefer to avoid carrying a second tool, so generally use my Handyman but still miss my Squirt PS4... Unfortunately I also need the in-line Phillips (oreferably with the magnifier), so a modified Swiss Champ is pretty much the ideal tool-set, albeit with annoying dimensions.

@@formermpc10 I carry it there as a safety back up should I for example, flip my canoe and lose everything I will still have a way to start a fire. The reason I have this idea is a couple years ago we were on a canoe trip in northern Ontario, Canada in May, and the water was still very cold. Some friends that I was canoeing with went out fishing. They flipped their canoe and everything they had in the boat at the time was lost. They had to swim in freezing, cold, big lake in cold water they had no survival gear on them. That is when I began to lanyard my Swiss Army knife to my belt, so that I will always have it if I spilled, I would say it is more of a back up item then an every day use item that fire steel in the ToothPic slot

Yes. I also have had SAK'S since being a kid. Remember when I upgraded to a Huntsman. Having a saw was a big deal after mainly having Boy Scout knives, camp style knives, and regular smaller SAK's. I like having every kind of blade and / or tool SAK'S has to offer for my EDC. I just received my smallest SAK today to add to my EDC. The Excelsior with its 1" & 2" cutting edge combo knife. My first SAK with blades only, no tools unless you count the key ring. Real gentleman's knife. I put a micro paracord lanyard on it so it does not get lost in my hand, as it's so small. A good whittling blade, I do think.

Back in the day, penknives we for sharpening a writing quill, but as time went on they just stuck around for small things or maybe if the main blade gets messed up. They should make the small blade a different shape though, like a sheepfoot for utility. Some models replace the small blade with a nail cleaner and file, but the big file on this can do those duties.

I am a big fan of swiss army knives, that being said I was very disappointed to find that there files are not hard enough to maintain tool steel like you would find in a camp ax I know the files have changed steels over the years so maybe the older ones were a harder steel, but my understanding is the stainless ones will not work on harder steel like i would want them too.

The victorinox pliers can't be compared to a leatherman plier based tool... not for the same use... the 91mm victorinox pliers are big tweezers, you don't use them like you use a leatherman... i don't understand why people keep comparing them....

True. But I reckon the Ranger paired with a Knipex Cobra, or small Knipex combination pliers, would be better than any Leatherman. The scissors and saw on Victorinox 91mm and 93mm knives are better than on any Leatherman, file is about the same. But a forged pair of pliers will always be intrinsically stronger than any multitool pliers, where there is a weak point at the point where the plier head joins the handles.

Whats wrong with the slipjoint? It's not meant for heavy duty usage or self-defense, but for cutting salami or cheese.

I also own some locking Victorinox knives, but they are illegal to carry in most of Europe (all of Europe?)
