Holy crap, how did this video turn out to be 18 minutes?

Around 2:30 I called a straight pin the reamer punch. And around 13:50 I call the salesman and Artisan. Please excuse my mistakes.
BREAKING NEWS: "MOD DEP” is an abbreviation for the modèle depose (French), which basically means patent pending.
The Victorinox Executive has been my EDC knife since 1978 when I bought my 1st one at an army barracks store in Fort Bragg, NC while visiting a friend who was in the army... LOVE that knife... not too big and easy to carry, and does pretty much everything I need on an every day basis.
Lol ! " ...if it's good enough for McGyver, it's good enough for me. " I'll have to remember that one ! 😀
While MacGyver did use the Executive in some episodes, the Tinker was his most used SAK.
My grandfather gave me my first SAK for my 10th birthday, I'll be 65 in July. My fav is a vintage 1980s 91mm SAK Champ. I carry a 91mm 19 function Explorer w/black scales. Thanx for sharing!
I love the history behind some of the older knives, thanks for sharing :)
Nice info on the different sizes. I edc a Hiker ad Explorer. My grail knife is the Trekker/Trailmaster. I wish that Vic would get with the times and be even better by letting their customers have knives that are a la carte.
Awesome collection Dan! Love the 84mm with scissors, truly Swiss Army knives heaven as you say! Cheers!
Thanks for the video! I love the clip point small blades...
In the early 1990s I had a similar 110+mm with side lock. Mine was a BSA version I bought at summer camp. It was lost on a canoe trip. Wish I still had it.
This channel needs a full collection video for sure! Great videos
There's also a 65mm category, like the Wenger Esquire. Which still lives today in the Victorinox lineup with a few models. Those give you the option of the small Wenger serrated scissors, which are really good (except they're no good on fingernails...which is why I guess it's good they have a model with nail clippers).
A new Swiss Army Dan knife ramble over 10 min.? I’m down 😎
Thank you for the great video. This size comparison was exactly what I was looking for. My 2 current edc's are the 91mm Climber and Huntsman, red scales. I'm thinking a little smaller in Alox or wood for dressier occassions. Got to have can opener and scissors, though.
Great selection! And really envious of your 84mm 3layers... After a bit of rotation I ended up carrying a sportsman much of the time, and man I wish I could add scissors to it... Would be perfect! Love it much more than the tourist that I also own of course for the nail file, which ok keeps my nails in shape, bit most important... It's perfectly shaper to fit Phillips small screws! Together with the opening layer tools and a corkscrew mini driver I am basically covered for all flat, Phillips and pozidrive screws i find around. With scissors added (and maybe the hook on the back of them.
I edc the sportsman and I absolutely love it. I also have the work champ, which I love even more, but I carry it when in nature/outdoors. It is just too big and heavy for edc. I sharpened one of the sides of the file of the sportsman (yeah, I know it is quite abusive) and now I have a file and a second blade, which works great for opening boxes and things like that.
I've been carrying the 93mm Spartan quite a bit. I love the scissors on the Compact but the awl and Phillip's tip on the can opener are really nice to have.
I've been all about the Executive for the last 30+ years. Love the citrus peeler! Before that the 'Classic'. Scissors are a must for EDC.
Story and why I like SAK knives. I purchased a SAK Recruit several years ago and kept in my lunch cooler for opening various types of cans or fast simple tool usage. I really like their version of a can opener. The thing worked perfectly. At the time of purchase, I paid $7 (US) for it. Best investment for under $10 I made. Sadly, I lost it. Recently, I did purchase and upgraded my SAK knife to the Huntsman with a security clip and small locking d ring to prevent it from falling out my side mesh pocket on my soft side lunchbox/cooler. I do keep a small cheapy Leatherman type tool in small pocket because the pliers works ok, but the blades, and other accessories are not a good as SAK offers. As of yesterday, I purchased the classic SD ES, and the Tinker for my other EDC tool kit in my electronics tool kit for in the field.
The Sportsman has become one of my favorite models. Perfect set of tools for everyday carry.
