I always thought the Victorinox manger was the most functional yet compact minitool. Great video

I have The Compact and use the hook. This is the perfect edc urban carry pocket knife for me. Zero use for the awl in an urban edc knife. Love it and fits perfectly in my pocket with the nano key chain pocket clip.

Nice video James with some great points. People really do under estimate the value of the universally recognized red scales with cross. Leatherman a really are best in back pack and car, not pocket everyday just to be prepared.

It depends on the Leatherman. Leatherman has almost as many models as there are models of SAKs. Some are best in packs, but many are made for pocket carry, and work extremely well in a pocket. You'd have to be pretty silly to carry some of them in a pack. Either you don't own a small Leatherman, and probably not a large one, or you don't do anything at all that involves tools. Leatherman is the tool you grab when there's real work to do, and it does you no good at all if it's in a pack somewhere. It's a tool you carry everywhere you go, day in and day out, if you actually work with your hands in any way. I knows well over a hundred people who EDC even the very large Leatherman. I'm one of them. I carry a Super Tool 300 every day, all day. I use it constantly, and it would be worth a dine in a pack somewhere. The SAK is a pocketknife that has a few tools on it. You use it when you need a good pocketknife, and you use the tools when the job is small and easy. And in case you haven't noticed, many, many SAKS can't even be carried in the pocket, and aren't much better in a pack. They show pieces, not work pieces, small or large. Once you get past Huntsman/Fieldmaster size, you're just collecting, not using. The truth is, a SAK is a great pocketknife, but it's a piss poor multitool. Leatherman is a great multitool, but it's a piss poor pocketknife.

For urban EDC I like the Leatherman Squirt PS4. The bottle opener is useless but the other blade functions are ok. When I need more knife I’ll select one of my SAKs that I wear in a pouch on my belt but I always have my itty-bitty Squirt in my pocket.

Yep, I have many times needed a philips end. And I have used that pen only one time in 5 years. And even that pen usage was not so critical. I think most used tools are the knife and the scissors.

Winston Dixon the tinker Is legit but the additional philips head is just redundancy. The Compact has one of the most things also weirdly, then I had a tinker I used the can opener Phillips head way more than the dedicated one. And I could t open my wine!

The Downtrodden so true. I had bigger Victorinox with awl and it was one of the tools I most used.. I never use the hook. I've been thinking to cut the hook and sharpen the tip.

I really wish Victorinox will come out with a modular version of The Swiss Army knife where you can change out the parts easily I see people modding their knives the best part about the awl on the backside of the knife is the hole which you can use to thread through great review keep up the good work
@jamesaritchie1

No, the best part is the reamer that every outdoorsman uses to drill holes in wood. Modding a knife is for fun, not work. Most mods are silly, not useful. There's a SAK for everyone, and if you can't find one with just the tools you need already on it, you're playing, not really using the knife. But, sure, let's go with modular and destroy the entire Victorinox company so someone can play with a knife, rather than use it. There are already far too many versions of the SAK, and sooner or later this will destroy Victorinox, unless they learn better.
