I think that Victorinox have missed a trick, an Alox Rambler would IMHO be an absolute stormer, i think it would outsell the Minichamp, possibly even the Alox Classic SD
Swiss Bianco had a few hundred of thrm made a long time ago. They are pretty much impossible to get. But I agree, they should make an Alox Rambler as a standard model, in various colors.
It would indeed, I'd buy one right away if it existed. Whereas I'm not sure about the alox Minichamp. I want it on my keychain where celidor scales would get badly scratched very quickly.
@@simonh6371 It exists :) but not easy to find :( Silver Alox would probably look OK on your keychain for a while. Colored Alox will get a worn look very quickly.
I like and agree with all of your choices. Great knives/tools, all of them. Personally I would add or replace the Huntsman with the 91mm Ranger specifically because it is the Huntsman with the addition of the metal saw/file. Very handy on backcountry ski or snowshoe overnight trips or any winter activities.
The Traveller also has a nail file on the hook, and I believe some of the related models, too. And there was at least one special edition of the Climber that had the file as well. (I would be happy if more models had a mail file instead of the small blade.)
Bantam is my favourite. I have others but always come back to the Bantam as it has what I truly need in a day, everyday. I put some black Micarta scales on it and its perfect
I carry a recruit every day…reminds me of my first knife I got when I was ten. I also have a discontinued 4 layer 111mm called “The fireman” I think…has a big main blade, seatbelt ripper blade, wood saw, cap lifter and can opener standard tools, scale toothpick and tweezers, back has a corkscrew/mini screwdriver, awl (no eye) and key ring. It was a gift from a couple decades ago. I’m always trying to find out stuff about it. Mine has a liner lock on the main blade, the handle has an “ergonomic” look to it, with black scales with a painted on victorianox shield that I’ve mostly rubbed off from use. I don’t carry it anymore cos it’s too big and I don’t like the main blade shape on the 111 mm. I’m told that it evolved into the neon yellow rescue tool. Anyhow love your channel…subscribed a couple weeks ago.
Best of all time in your opinion, of course. I see some excellent models there but I'd add some 111mm and 130mm to my list of best of all time. Also, I didn't see the Deluxe Tinker, which has a handy pair of pliers.
Hi there, does all medium alox models come with the thicker heavy duty main blade? And what would be the best sharpener and most efficient way of keeping the blade sharp? Would the Vic dual sharpener fit the bill or is there others I should be looking at? Cheers and thanks for the videos. Best straight to the point videos 👍
I believe they do, all the 93mm ones have thicker blade stock, the 84mm ones are the same as the standard 91mm blades 🙏🏻 I just strop mine on a leather strop at the end of the day!
I have the white Climber too and its one of my favorite knives and I own 320 of them. It the one in my bag and I also tricked it out with the pin and the mini screwdriver.
All great SAK'S for sure. I have the Midnite Mini Champ & the 7 Alox as they are great knives and their awesome in the hand and very pocket friendly. Also, like them for the extra tools that are unique & not on my EDC, SAK the Swiss Champ XLT. Whenever I am camping, I will add the RangerGrip 79 with its locking blade and big saw. Also, my Skipper SAK with the marlin spike for working on knots.
I got the Compact for Christmas, and now that Christmas is over, I can get myself 1 finally. I have been looking at the Farmer X. I was hoping to get the Farmer X for Christmas but I have been wanting the Compact for a lite carry. Eventually I will probably get a Pioneer X, but now that I have the Compact, the Pioneer X is way back on my list. This is a great list. I keep a Victorinox Rambler on a locking carabiner on my belt lupe, with a Olight IR2 Pro, for a emergency set that I always forget about but are awesome to have and I needed them both so many times. I had a Victorinox Explorer for years, but I have always been a Leatherman carry type of person, but I am starting to get tired of having a pouch on my belt all the time, so I am going to try Victorinox, especially since I mostly use the tools and rarely use the pliers. When I need pliers, it's for plumbing and needle nose are to small.
Great video @slipjointsawyer I've had my Huntsman SAK for a couple of months and I have already used most of the tools. I have added a pin and a paperclip (multiple uses).
Timely prompt gift wise Mr S. Who wouldn't be thrilled to see SAK in their stocking 🧦 to slice through the shiny paper packages 📦. I rotate 5 or 6 Victorinox, from alox bantam up to the huntsman. Quality video, thanks for sharing.
That Alox 2 looks intriguing. I was hoping it had the combo tool but was disappointed when you pulled out the pruning blade. I’d probably carry a 93mm Alox bantam.
Great video Slippy. Im very tempted with the Classic SD in alox (maybe the classic precious alox) and the bantam. Loving the thin profiled knives at the moment!
Great lineup of SAK’s SlipJoint Sawyer. I’m a SAK fanatic myself I can’t have enough of them, and, there my favorite fidget toy on top of them being a great pocket tool. Thanks for another great video 👍❤️
I love that Swiss Army 2. They’re hard to find over here though. But I think it has to be my next Victorinox… either that or the Cadet. I do like that Pioneer X though, but I’m not sure I’m ready for 3 layers 😆 Baby steps! Haha Good stuff as always, Slippy! 👊🏻

An alox rambler is a 10\10 must for me
It would indeed, I'd buy one right away if it existed. Whereas I'm not sure about the alox Minichamp. I want it on my keychain where celidor scales would get badly scratched very quickly.
@@simonh6371 It exists :) but not easy to find :(
Silver Alox would probably look OK on your keychain for a while. Colored Alox will get a worn look very quickly.
Ok, now I really, really want an Alox Rambler. That would be a fantastic keychain tool!

Good choices brother
Great list but I wouldn't call it "the best of all time". More like, "currently in production".
Most definitely 😁
The diamond file on the back of the parcel hook also works wonderfully as a match striker.
Great tip
5:11 the actual smaller brother to the Spartan would be the tourist that like Spartan also has the cork screw on the other side. Nice video.
100% good spot
The Traveller also has a nail file on the hook, and I believe some of the related models, too. And there was at least one special edition of the Climber that had the file as well.
(I would be happy if more models had a mail file instead of the small blade.)
Ooo I'll have to pick up one of those next 🙏🏻🔥
Climber for the win! I own more than 50 Swiss Army Knives but of all of them the climber is by far my most favorite
It's a personal favourite of mine as well
Bantam is my favourite.
I have others but always come back to the Bantam as it has what I truly need in a day, everyday.
I put some black Micarta scales on it and its perfect
Awesome stuff brother

Amazing! Loved your comment 🤩
All very good suggestions. And as you say, who wouldn't be delighted with getting an SAK for Christmas or their birthday !
I'd be so happy with SAKs for Christmas 😂🙏🏻
Best of all time in your opinion, of course. I see some excellent models there but I'd add some 111mm and 130mm to my list of best of all time. Also, I didn't see the Deluxe Tinker, which has a handy pair of pliers.
Thanks for sharing brother! Tried to keep it UK legal due to the laws here 🙏🏻
I have a victorinox Swiss Army knife. And I want to sell it.
What have you got?
A very nice selection! May I also suggest the Explorer for urban folks? Also, any of the Tinkers, especially the Deluxe Tinker...subbed...😊
Great suggestion!
@@SlipjointSawyer Thanks!
Why you choose a Bantam over a Waiter??
I just like the slimness of the Bantam without the corkscrew

@@SlipjointSawyer Cheers for the Info, greatly appreciated 👍
I wish Vic made a Cadet X Alox!
Yes!!
So many favorites of all time LOL
Honestly I could have gone on for hours 😂
Bonjour encore une super revue sur les Victorinox, ma passion
Thanks for watching
We could add the waiter
Definitely
I have the white Climber too and its one of my favorite knives and I own 320 of them. It the one in my bag and I also tricked it out with the pin and the mini screwdriver.
Awesome brother
Helluva a goood video, Slippy. I love these SAK options as gifts. I'd be happy if I were to receive any one of them. Cheers, mate.
Thanks John! Me too, I don't know if I'd be unhappy being gifted anything from Victorinox 🙏🏻
Very cool collection of SAK's, several of my personal fav's are up there too. 👍Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
All great SAK'S for sure.
I have the Midnite Mini Champ & the 7 Alox as they are great knives and their awesome in the hand and very pocket friendly.
Also, like them for the extra tools that are unique & not on my EDC, SAK the Swiss Champ XLT.
Whenever I am camping, I will add the RangerGrip 79 with its locking blade and big saw. Also, my Skipper SAK with the marlin spike for working on knots.
Thanks for sharing Thomas all great knives 🙏🏻🔥

Love it got to carry a SAK! Thanks Robert
That Alox 2 looks intriguing. I was hoping it had the combo tool but was disappointed when you pulled out the pruning blade. I’d probably carry a 93mm Alox bantam.
That would be cool with a combo tool!
Great video Slippy.
Im very tempted with the Classic SD in alox (maybe the classic precious alox) and the bantam. Loving the thin profiled knives at the moment!
You should buy all knives
Great lineup of SAK’s SlipJoint Sawyer. I’m a SAK fanatic myself I can’t have enough of them, and, there my favorite fidget toy on top of them being a great pocket tool. Thanks for another great video 👍❤️
Right on!
The Classic SD plus one of those silicon holders Victorinox has right now would make a terrific gift.
Definitely would!
I find myself carrying the Pioneer X way more than I thought I would.
Awesome!
great video. I have a deluxe tinker and I think it is the most useful for my daily use. It comes with very good pliers.
Great tip!
Love the mixing of the scales, “The Bee” super idea, never occurred to me to do that. ✊🏻
Glad you liked it!
I love that Swiss Army 2.
They’re hard to find over here though.
But I think it has to be my next Victorinox… either that or the Cadet.
I do like that Pioneer X though, but I’m not sure I’m ready for 3 layers 😆
Baby steps! Haha
Good stuff as always, Slippy!
👊🏻
Come on Tim, get addicted like TK and myself and buy them all!
@@SlipjointSawyer
It’s bound to happen sooner or later 🤣
Excellent selection of models 👌🔥
Glad you like them!
Very nice those are all great choices! 👍
Thanks 👍
Very good selection, Slippy.
Thank you kindly
👍🏼
