You need to wait for a few years, to see if it offers the same stainless performance of a SAK. When I see my rusted up Skeletool, that has a better steel, and my spotless older SAK, I know were I am leaning to.

SAKs have a major advantage: if you are in an environment where knives are not welcome people still don"t care if you pull out a mid-size of these 😉

Mine came in today and I’m actually impressed! I just wanted to say that you’re the only content provider that tests and explains the actual blade/blades. Most just show the blade without any impressions. I really appreciate your content. I’d love to see you do a leather man clone head to head comparison!

I’m 62 years old now and have carried a SAK since my first one I got on my 12th birthday. It was a Huntsman as I recall, but I’ve been carrying a Fieldmaster since I graduated high school in the early eighties. It has saved my ass more times than a toilet seat. Paired with a CRKT Getaway Driver, I have a pretty effective tool kit in my pocket.

I've been carrying SAKs for 50+ years. I used a Swiss Champ for over 40 years as an Industrial Maintenance man in a huge factory and it saved me literally hundreds of long trips back to my tool box for the "perfect tool" for the job at hand. I have to say that your evaluation of this knife is pretty spot on and it's a great value for the price. Since I'm now retired and use the SAK more for bushcrafting (as a hobby), I would add just a few things to what you said about this multitool. I think that the awl should be narrower. All of the SAK designs would be superior, in my view, and even the ones that have no hole in them can have one easily added to them with a Dremel burr, making them good for stitching, whereas grinding down this awl seems problematic. I think the bit driver could have had a magnet added to its design and it would be better for holding even simple bits. I do think that it's commendable that this knife can hold double ended bits. That is a very welcome feature. The final, and only real shortcoming, to me, would be the absence of a wood saw. It is a tool that just can't be bettered in bushcrafting. I bought one of these on the strength of your review. I will probably attempt to narrow the awl. I plan to drill a small hole in the side of the bit holder and epoxying a small rare earth magnet into it to hold cheap bits that don't have the ball catch built into them. I'm also working out a way, in my head, to use a saber mount jigsaw blade in the bit holder. So thanks for providing me with a project to keep me busy for awhile. Well done video and thanks for creating and sharing the content.

I am 61 now and have been carrying a SAK since I was 15. But i would give up every knife in my collection except my SAK & they will PRY THAT from my cold, dead hands 😂🦉

I always carry a swiss army knife as a backup, but I usually end up using it more in public than a locking bigger folder. They come really handy and non knife people (99.9% of people) don't freak out with them

When I was 12 I got a victorinox climber, It has all the tools I need for 30 euros, and more than that rocktool like a corkscrew, toothpick, tweezers and a small knife that I keep razor sharp. I still have that first knife and it is totally worn out because when I was young money was scarce to buy a new one. I am 55 now, I still have that model "climber", but already several newer ones. About the hardness, I need to sharpen it maybe 2 or 3 times a year on a strop and I use it daily. Of course, just like you I have knives lying around everywhere that are more task specific like your kitchen knives, garden, workbench and what more knives and a whole lot of knives for hiking and camping that are bigger, stronger and fancyer. But just daily I carry that climber on me. I have never missed that pocket clip and would remove it straight away. That bit holder would be something great, but then you would also need a bitset and that is where Wera does a great service to me :-). Thanks for yet another clip, I really like the way you test and present these things.

I've daily carried a SAK Mini Champ for 10+ years and use it most days. However, I bought this Rocktol multitool about 6 months ago and carry it daily. It's great! The scissors are the best and the screwdriver bit is very good.

The SAK looks like it's more ergonomic in your pocket. Like carrying a smooth pebble. It's also small, I like that. It also looks like it would last longer. However, having a liner lock on a way nice blade, the bit holder, those are innovations that can't be ignored.

I almost unsubscribed

The most common Phillips screw is the #2, so why do they only have a #1 Phillips driver on this tool? When you use a smaller driver (#1) on a #2 screw head the driver is prone to start stripping.

I Like my SAK for Outdoor activities. It does the Job and Guts Perfect in the Pocket. Over 40 years I Go with my Vic

With Victorinoxs, you buy a tradition that no one else offers, no matter how hard they try.

The most common Phillips screws are #2--why do they have a #1 driver on this multi tool?

These types of tools are like an insurance policy. You buy it, put it away in your backpack, and forget about it until you really need it one day and then you're glad you have it.

I am more of a Leatherman guy than SAK, I do have a Rangergrip 78, but it is not an EDC tool for me. I do like a lot of the features on this tool. if I had one, it would be a part of one of my tool kits, either in a pack, or in my power chair tool kit. I prefer the straight line driver, and the ability to swap bits out. one thing that could expand the usefulness of the driver would be to have a bit extender. I have several double row rubber bit holders that have an extender in the centerline between the two rows of bits. also supergluing a very small neodymium magnet in the driver would make it a little less deep so it would fit the standard one sided bits better, and make it hold the bits in better.

This pocket knife looks to have value however, for outdoors or just about anything else, try the SAK Champ. I have a leather holder that fits on my belt. It only takes a couple of times in semi rugged environments and that clip holder falls off. Again, check out the Champ. More expensive however, far more value.

I carry a Tinker SAK daily and use a dangler that works great and it was $10
