I'm in California in the US, but I still agree with you; the red handled SAK doesn't attract as much attention when you are using it in public. People don't take exception to it and see it as a "tool." And it's a good EDC pocket knife.

Both are very nice knives. I can't imagine anybody so faint of heart to find the Pioneer as menacing though. To me it just looks a bit more sophisticated than the Spartan. I have both and like them very much. I often carry a Classic SD in the 5th pocket to add a scissors and file to the tool set. I think the Pioneer has been around since about 1961.

I like the Spartan for every day carry but, in many cases, I find the Climber a bit more versatile as an EDC it being, basically, a Spartan with the addition of scissors and a parcel hook. They don't add much to the weight and the scissors in particular come in handy often. For trips abroad I used to carry the larger Outrider but now it seems that in some places (like the UK) it is problematic or illegal for carry because it has a blade lock. Seems silly to me (as a Canadian) but I suppose I will have to get a more or less equivalent 91mm model for use abroad ... possibly the Explorer since the magnifying glass may be useful on trips given my aging eyes :-)

What they have on the Soldier is not really the "Swiss Army's logo" but the coat of arms of Switzerland. And yes, most Soldiers came without a key ring, but Vic produced some Soldiers with a key ring for the civilian market only, mainly in the 90s.
The Spartan is one of the least capable SAK's in Victorinox's line up as it is "tool deficient" I have 6 collectable Spartans in my collection but would never use one as an EDC. I have a large collection of special edition & limited edition 93mm Pioneers & Pioneer X's & have additional Pioneers, X's , 84mm Cadets & a 111mm Garant ( nomad version ) in my Gentleman's knife EDC rotation . If I need a PTK ( Pocket Tool Kit ) on any particular day I forgo carrying a Gentleman's knife & carry either a modified 91mm Huntsman ( with Plus scales, Firefly ferro rod in place of the toothpick, tinder spiral & mini screwdriver on the corkscrew & fitted with a SwissQlip for convenient pocket carry ) or its smaller version in the Victorinox Delmont collection the 85mm EvoGrip S17. Rounding out my EDC which always consists of 2 SAK's is the 58mm Midnite Manager with its LED & pen on my key chain. For me the Spartan is a non-starter as an EDC & before I went over to the Huntsman & the EvoGrip S17 , I did carry for a few years the 91mm Climber ( also decked out with Plus scales ) with its full size scissors as it is ideal as an urban EDC if you don't need the wood saw of the Huntsman
Excellent review and comparison! I have watched many reviewers and I find your style great and useful. Your view points are exactly what everyone is trying to figure out on an EDC. I love the look and overbuilt quality of the pioneer. But as life style and circumstances change in life, I'm finding the function and versatility of the cellidor knives more practical and useful day to day. Rocking a small tinker now days with a small classic for scissors and nail file. Jeff
Since both blades are under 3 inches and are not locking, there shouldn't be a problem with either knife in the UK. You probably can't take it it with you when visiting someone in prison, greeting the queen or boarding an airplane, but that's about it.

I'd say Pioneer wins hands down. All the tools on it are sturdier than on a 91mm and all you lose out on (apart from tweezers and toothpick) are the corkscrew - but you can pull a cork with the can opener - and the extra blade. However the reamer can be made extra sharp and function as a package opener. The backsprings are stronger on alox models, and they're slightly slimmer than the celidor 91mm equivalents. Having said that I like both. I have a Hiker and a Farmer - so basically the same as what you have but with a saw, except the Hiker has a Phillips instead of corkscrew. I generally EDC the Hiker as urban EDC as I put plus scales on it and carry a pen for emergencies, together with a Leatherman Squirt. If I'm going to the woods I change it out for a Farmer and take a larger multitool, plus a Classic SD in my First Aid kit so I still have tweezers. If I'm camping I add to that a Soldier and a fixed blade like a Mora. So maybe that could be considered a tad overkill, rolling with 3 SAKs, a multitool and a fixed blade lol.
@@dmytro11111 Hi, I have pretty limited experience doing this. I generally do it by laying the back of the reamer on a flat sharpening stone so that the concave edge is facing me. Then, rotate the whole knife towards me until the edge of the reamer is flush with the sharpening stone. Finally, sharpen by pushing it away from you across the stone, like you would with a knife. I hope this helps.
@@ThrHillSeeker by the way, the main blade is made from 1.4116 Krupp (X50CrMoV15) or X55CrMoV14 (Both have 55-56 HRC). These two are the analogues of 420 or 440 steel
Nice comparison video. My generally carry a Victorinox Ranger because I find I'm often in situations where having scissors, saw, or file are helpful for completing a task. I do love the Alox knives though - I have an old cross Farmer and it's one of my favorites. However, one thing I've noticed is that during heavy use, the sharper corners of the Alox knives make it a bit less comfortable in the hand compared to a knife with plastic handles.
Thanks for commenting! The Ranger has a great combination of tools. It really is a case of picking out what you need for the situations that you encounter (without cramming an entire toolbox into your pocket). I know what you mean about the Alox scales, I'm having the same issue with the Böker Atlas Multi that I've been carrying recently.

Thanks for commenting. I'm a big fan of the tinker too but it's getting hard to find the 91 mm model rather than the 84 mm. I'm also rather partial to a glass of good red wine so the corkscrew comes in handy, as does the micro driver for my glasses.
As a wine drinker who wears glasses, I am one who prefers the corkscrew and driver combo of the Spartan over the screwdriver of the Tinker :-) On those rare impromptu occasions around town when I need a screwdriver, the ones at the ends of the can opener and cap lifter mostly do the trick, even with a small Phillips screw.

Thanks for commenting. Their scissors are very good and I do carry scissors on my multitool (Gerber Dime). However, they're not suitable for a lot of the cutting tasks I do day to day (cutting rope and tubing, opening packages, food prep etc.)
@@simonh6371 I totally agree although I recently picked up a Böker Plus Atlas Multi and have been pleasantly surprised with the scissors on that, considering the mixed reviews that the Böker scissors get. I'll post a review video in a couple of weeks.
@@ThrHillSeeker Cool I look forward to that. Every week I look and there are still no English language reviews of the Bokerplus Atlas. There are about 7 in German and 2 in Spanish, but one of them is just a guy shouting ''es cojonudo' and stuff like that, still it's positive lol. I bought the black Atlas just with the knife, I really like it, as I was looking for something slim with just a blade as I have a few knives and multitools with scissors. I also bought a Bokerplus mini tech tool with the scissors. They are good quality but what I don't like is that the bottom blade moves upwards too when you are cutting, it's difficult to aim if you know what I mean. Apart from that they are excellent.
@@simonh6371 It should go live on March 11th. It's been my EDC for a few weeks now and I've been really impressed so far. I find the back spring on my tech tool 1 isn't as strong as I'd like but the Atlas one is much more solid.
I have been a knife enthusiast since my first knife in the 60s I’m not getting into the debate on whether or not I believe in the uks knife laws as tempting as that is, but I’m extra fed up of new possible enthusiasts being too afraid to carry a knife that complies with the laws. If a knife does a good job as an everyday knife then I don’t give a rats what this weird generation likes or finds offensive. I’m 63, ex army ex coal face miner, ex bus driver and ex postman now retired because my body is shot. Have a more confident approach, your doing nothing wrong

Seems like having 2 knives as a newer complete till box is the way to go
Very true...
I wonder if you would be kind enough to help me out a little...
I have just started reviewing myself and would welcome your insight with one or two of my reviews, if possible.
I am looking for a few regular people, who are fair and balanced in their comments... If your able, I would very much appreciate it.

The price of tha alox is twice as much, it says something 🤗🤗
If you don’t like using a knife in public, I would go with a model that has scissors. Even their little keychain models have very good scissors.
Thanks for commenting. Their scissors are very good and I do carry scissors on my multitool (Gerber Dime). However, they're not suitable for a lot of the cutting tasks I do day to day (cutting rope and tubing, opening packages, food prep etc.)
@@ThrHillSeeker Victorinox scissors are better than the ones on the Gerber Dime and the Leatherman Squirt, even the little 58mm ones.
@@simonh6371 I totally agree although I recently picked up a Böker Plus Atlas Multi and have been pleasantly surprised with the scissors on that, considering the mixed reviews that the Böker scissors get. I'll post a review video in a couple of weeks.
@@ThrHillSeeker Cool I look forward to that. Every week I look and there are still no English language reviews of the Bokerplus Atlas. There are about 7 in German and 2 in Spanish, but one of them is just a guy shouting ''es cojonudo' and stuff like that, still it's positive lol. I bought the black Atlas just with the knife, I really like it, as I was looking for something slim with just a blade as I have a few knives and multitools with scissors. I also bought a Bokerplus mini tech tool with the scissors. They are good quality but what I don't like is that the bottom blade moves upwards too when you are cutting, it's difficult to aim if you know what I mean. Apart from that they are excellent.
@@simonh6371 It should go live on March 11th. It's been my EDC for a few weeks now and I've been really impressed so far. I find the back spring on my tech tool 1 isn't as strong as I'd like but the Atlas one is much more solid.
I have been a knife enthusiast since my first knife in the 60s I’m not getting into the debate on whether or not I believe in the uks knife laws as tempting as that is, but I’m extra fed up of new possible enthusiasts being too afraid to carry a knife that complies with the laws. If a knife does a good job as an everyday knife then I don’t give a rats what this weird generation likes or finds offensive. I’m 63, ex army ex coal face miner, ex bus driver and ex postman now retired because my body is shot. Have a more confident approach, your doing nothing wrong
According to the business insider video of the Victorinox company it is a recycled stainless steel.
Thanks for commenting, I didn't realise business insider had done a video on SAKs, I'll have to take a look.
That's interesting, it makes sense I guess...
