Hello, i requested a handyman from my wife at Christmas. She knows nothing about saks and apparently neither does the shop assistant because she got a Swiss champ for the price of the Handyman, lol. No complaints from me.
Handyman is my edc. I need the pliers a lot, or i'd have the ranger , wich is one less layer. Swiss champ a little to bulky, and i don't need that fishscaler and the magnifying glass anyway. So Handyman it is for me. Same as yours, with plus scales, but in blue.
I put the emerald scales on mine too. Wasn't sure I'd like them until they were on, but it quickly became my favorite SAK. Ended up putting them on my swisschamp as well.
The handyman is one of my most loved models! Definitely a fantastic knife. Almost perfect EDC for me. I just don’t carry it often enough because I have started carrying smaller SAKS m.
Nice video,when I was in Vietnam I always had a Swiss Champ with me came in handy many times.
Thanks for your video sir. You have a great sense of humor and very informative 😊
I have the same in black. Best knife ever. I carry and use it every day!
I love the emerald scales! Never seen that colour before.
For camping, I use the workchamp. Who is basically a handyman but larger. ❤
The hook is really good for making carp rigs / pulling loops in knots
You may know this by now but, another cool trick Felix Immler shows is using the handle of the toothpick as an improvised hook to open the tools. It's great if your nails are too short, brittle, or if the knife has some age on it.
i just recently got my second victorinox. first one was the sd classic 6 years.
i was stuck between the handyman the swisschamp and the cybertool l. in the end i ordered the swiss champ its a chunky little tool kit. then ended up getting the huntsman.
i also ended up getting cybertool m also the alox pioneer x and alox mini champ. also the alox farmer x should arrive soon.
Very good review of some of your Victorinox collection + history. I always find the tools of very high quality, for example, knives very sharp.
What I like about Victorinox is that they make a wide selection of multi-tools to suit every need. Great!
They are great little tools. Thanks for watching 🙏
My swiss champ is for when I'm feeling nerdy, but it is too thick and I can live without the fish scaler, inline phillips (just use the end of the can opener) and magnifying glass. Climber is good for around the house, but no saw. Huntsman is my outdoor knife, as it has the saw, but it needs a file. Might have to get me a handyman...
The scales you put on that one look pretty cool! Cheers, buddy!
Grizz knowledge! 👍😲 Man you know your s**t!! Love your vids dude. Keep em coming!
I try. Still have much to learn. Thanks man.
I've used the chisel on my SwissChamp. I used it to cut out drain holes in a plastic soapbox.
Great knife!👍 Make a video about your Sak collection👌
I’ll do it sometime.
Happy Friday Grizz, kudos for fitting Translucent Emerald Green Plus scales on your Handyman. I have bought 4 58mm Emerald scales on Ebay to brighten up a number of small SAK's that I own such as the Rambler & the Cavalier ( bought new in box recently on Ebay ) and the 1997 Mate ( I have the 1995 1st version of the Mate with its original red scales & the 1997 2nd version of the Mate AKA the Vagabond which adds the wire stripper notch to the flathead screwdriver combo tool - the Emerald scales look great on it ) and the Minichamp Version 1 which is one tool layer less than the current model & has no pen in the scales . I will probably buy the Emerald 91mm Plus scales at some time to replace the boring classic red scales on a Climber which I seldom carry in my EDC rotation nowadays. I don't own a Handyman as IMO at 5 layers its too big for comfortable pocket carry & I am already covered with its tools in my home tool kit consisting of the Cybertool M, the Ranger, the Deluxe Tinker, the Spartan Lite & the 84mm watch opener tool, so buying a Handyman would mean even more tool duplication. What I really would like is if Victorinox would make 91mm SilverTech Plus scales as IMO they are extremely alluring on a SAK & I always get complimented by folks who line up a SilverTech handled SAK against a boring red scaled version of the same knife.
I have emerald signature scales on a Cavalier that match. Great color.
It sure is a great color for a 58mm SAK and to add to the aesthetics with a color contrast I have put black tipped 58mm tweezers & toothpicks in all my Emerald scaled SAKS 👍👍👍 I am also planning to dress up a newly ordered 2nd Rambler with the Tuscan Sun translucent yellow scales from a new 58mm Classic SD in that scale color, I have one in my collection & I have just bought a 2nd one when my local Victorinox dealer began a short Spring sale of selected knives at 30% discount. I will remove the very attractive translucent yellow scales on it for use on a new red scaled Rambler when it arrives ( also bought at a discount ) & put a spare Ebay bought set of rubi red signature scales on the Classic SD
Hi my first sak was the handyman I put transparent blue plus scales on mine it stays in my car , I've the the same scales on all my saks have a great day
On knives that’s don’t have a file, I use the reamer as a fingernail edge scraper. It works in that capacity. Also I did try it for drilling a hole in an old leather belt and it did that job better than a drill bit would have. So if you find yourself out somewhere away from the house, and in need of another belt notch to keep the pants up after some weight loss, there’s no better tool. LOL!
I have used the reamer to make belt notches a few times. I lost 100lbs over a year and ran out of holes on two belts.
Fantastic tip for the pen thank you.atb paddy 👍
I can’t take credit for it but it is certainly a good one.
I don't want to offend anybody, but it seems to me that if you're carrying an SAK thicker than 4 layers, you might s well get a "Wave, You can find a mint condition 2nd generation Wave for under $40 all day long.
Listen it’s not about practicality, and anyone that says otherwise is fooling themselves, but there’s just something fun about carrying a big fat SAK around. Take it out, show it off, and maybe you get to use it every so often. The same applies to the Leatherman. I grant that the pliers are more serviceable, but then I think the blades and screwdrivers are not as comfortable to use as a SAK style tool, but of course it’s all a matter of preference. In both cases there is a novelty to the idea of being prepared to fix anything at any time.
I never get the hook hate. It's not like it's taking space from another tool. I use the hook a lot more than the scissors that come on the other side of it.
I find the chisel is good as a clam shell package opener,not much else?
I’ve never used it for much myself.
So I carried a ranger and a mechanic so i could have all the tools I wanted then i got the 111mm work champ thinking that would replace my ranger and mechanic but im kinda disappointed it hads next to no back tools no + scales the file doesn’t have the nail cleaning tip for one of there more expensive knifes you would think they would have put more effort in it so i ordered a handyman this should be the one for me
Too bad they don't let you build one a la carte. They would make a killing on custom knives. I could lose the pen blade in favor of a nail file, and lose the chisel for a phillips.
I use my reamer alot and my woodsaw
oh #@#$$# my SC is actually a Handyman?
If it has no mag lens then possibly.
The Handyman is a good knife ! Not a great knife ? The lack of a proper philips driver is the reason I dont carry it ! I have tried but just is lacking that one tool that on a model this big ! I think these type of swiss army knives are really showing their age from the days before nearly all screws are philips?
Yah, it’s hard to understand a handyman not having a proper Philips screwdriver.
I have it whit the Philips ????
You must have the Craftsman if you have a phillips on the back instead of a corkscrew
A cluster what to use?
