I've been into knives/SAKs since I was a young kid and I'm 38 now. I thought the nail files were a waste for the most part, up until several weeks ago I pulled out a Wenger that my sister had gotten me several years ago and used the file and it actually worked pretty good! Then I saw a video by another CZcamsr about the "underrated Mountaineer for EDC" and he sold me on it, over the Climber too, and all because of the file. Can be used as a nail file, metal or wood file, or metal saw. Also cleans the fingernails and can be used for Philip's head screwdriver. 6 tools in one! Now I really don't want to be without the nail file.
Dan, the 3-layer is probably my favorite species of SAK. Definitely pocket friendly, but with lots of ability. I think you need a Pioneer X to flesh out that skimpy Alox segment in an otherwise sweet collection. Now then, you've covered the Solamente Solo SAK's and the Trifecta SAK's; I think it's time for the delightful Deuces to get their due. I hope to see some love for the Alox Cadet, a genius design for a SAK. Yes? Feels like a single, but acts like a double.... Bring on the two layer tour!
The Climber is my favourite 3-layer Victorinox Swiss Army Knife and I have four of them. If I could, I'd replace every scale set with a plus-scale one on every model I own, but that would be quite expensive. One of my Climbers does have plus scales though.
Nice collection of three layers! I've been carrying a Wenger Traveler for years. Probably my favorite SAK. I play guitar too, and use the file to shape my nails for hybrid picking. I have several Wenger Tetons as well (same tool set as traveler but swaps the corkscrew for a phillips and the file for a small clip point blade) but I prefer the Traveler.
I know that this is an older video so you might not see this comment. I have two of the first knife that you showed with the Elinox stamp. One was my fathers and one was mine. His is in a display case on my wall and the other is still occasionally carried by me. They were purchased in an open air market in Saudi Arabia in 1961 or 62. (US citizens but my dad worked for an oil company.) I still remember the price - 7 rials which was about $1.40. I was about 7 years old at the time.
Dude!!! you play the guitar??? jajajaja what a coincidence!!! I play classical, and as you have this love for SAK´s. Great set of 3 layers. Got say I totally go crazy for the ones with the bails, I just love that feature, makes them look even better. And those yellow scales... and the mod... wow!!! gorgeous!!! like, like, like.
This is a great vid that makes me go aarggggg! So many great SAK's were discontinued! 'The Yeoman and Trail Guide were excellent ideas cast aside to the likes of Swiss Bianco That bugs me. And the 93 awl is wonderful mod. Thanks for the link. I've added over 30 of your vids to my watch latter list -doing some catching up! Good stuff!
I don't know how it works but if Vx gets a cut of the action from outfits like SB, then its probably more lucrative to turn some models over to them to market as "special runs". Just guessing.
As far as nail file goes, I'd rather have it than a small blade simply because I don't need redundancy in a single tool. That said, I think Victorinox needs to flip them around to face the other way on all of their knives (not only the Delemont series) to avoid scratching the blade.
Honestly! As a student; I don’t use the knife much (duh!) but the small blade even less so A small nail file would be the best (that’s why I got me a Rambler) imo, I think the Delemont line has them a ton though!
So hard to think of carrying a 3LYR SAK. I came from the Leatherman side, with an original for years, then a Wingman, but am trying a Vic. Sportsman. I really like it a lot, with the matte nylon scales. Now I'm thinking of a Fieldmaster/Huntsman. I'd miss not having scissors, and I'd love a saw. Hope to EDC it. The Ranger fascinates me, too, but might be too thick. Should try them all at some point. But thinner seems nice.
Here it is almost a year later, and my only three layer SAKs are a Mechanic and a Farmer. Lots of two layer 84’s, 91’s, a 2003 Soldier and my Huntsman I ended up going with. And counting! Oh, can’t forget 58mm. Take care.
I like the file! I EDC a nylon-scaled Sportsman. Gotta Wenger....S14? (Haha), as my backup. Adds scissors. Your yellow custom is sweet! You went awl in place of small blade; I'd go file. LOL. Sweet vid, man.
Three layers O would say is a perfect size for your pocket. The two levels I think is still big for just a few tools (so you might as well go for the smaller sized tools).
Do you have more information for the Yeoman? Like when was it made, how rare it is, what's special about it, because I have no idea what that knife it is, haven't heard the name.
Some sellers will include pen, but usually you have to buy them separately. I bought the Pens,Pins,scissor springs, T&T, keyrings, mini SD all from the same place and combined shipping. Pretty cheap if you shop around but it is kind of a commitment if you don't have that many SAKs....
The Trail Guide. Tools included a large knife blade, cap lifter / can opener combo tool, metal saw / file, and scissors. This model was also sold through the Marlboro Unlimited catalog with the Marlboro Unlimited logo printed on the bottom scale.
@@swissarmydan9354 I do like Swiss army knifes I have had Swiss army knifes ever since I was 7 years old. Can't remember what it was called but I think it had maybe 4 layers. I broke scales thought the years and just got another one. Like your older model one's they are really nice the Wenger ones.

It was called the Camping when I got mine in August of 1980 had a tent embossed on the handle with the word Camping
I have that exact same model, it's very useful.
That yellow knife is awesome!
This is a beautiful yellow knive! I really really really love it! 💛💛💛💛
I like the Hiker
Those beautiful yellow scales, i want them!
Thanks! It was an awlsome gift from an awlsome friend!
Wow Dan! Amazing collection👍really dig the modded SAK. Like the bails too. Thumbs way up sir👍😉👍

That yellow one. I’m about to make one with big blade - that awl, mag glass - combo tool and bit driver.

Heck yeah! I love classical but I wouldn't call myself a classical player. I mostly play stuff from 1940's on.
I do however own/play a nylon string, love the warm, even sound.!
Camper is my 3-layer absolute favorite👍🏻

Thanks for watching! It is a head scratcher why they don't make at least the Yeoman anymore...

Love the color! 💛

I like the nail files. I just wish they weren't facing the blade because it'll scratch it if you're not careful😒
Swiss Re America is a reinsurance firm. They sell insurance to insurance companies.
Just ordered a sapphire climber. Don't think it has plus scales but your black one does. Do you know where I can get plus scales?
You’re collection tho ❤

El Corkscrew....for the world !!!
Hahahaha! Thanks for watching, dude!
Can you recommend a good book on the history of Victorinox SAK pocket knives?
Wow,nice collection,
Thank you, sir!
I felt in love with the yellow one. Never seen before. Is it custom?
Wow!
the best! miss ya bro, hope you are ok
Hey, Ton! I miss you too brother. I’m well aside from the record breaking heat! Hope all is well with you and yours
Is that you singing the Magic Number ... I've been wondering about that for a while ...
Do you have more information for the Yeoman?
Like when was it made, how rare it is, what's special about it, because I have no idea what that knife it is, haven't heard the name.
www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Yeoman
Great info but I have to say you go way to fast and much of the blades are out of frame and can’t be seen unfortunately.
Why did they get rid of the clip point blade?
So to get the pin and pen in the climber you need to buy the plus scales and buy the pin and pen separate? Plz let me know. Thanks!
Some sellers will include pen, but usually you have to buy them separately. I bought the Pens,Pins,scissor springs, T&T, keyrings, mini SD all from the same place and combined shipping. Pretty cheap if you shop around but it is kind of a commitment if you don't have that many SAKs....
I think 3 layers models are ideals for edc
I also think that all edcs had to have a combo tool
Instead of a useless layer
A man and a woman had a little baby. Yes they did....
God, sometimes I thought I had made up that 3 is a magic number song
Молодец!
Sry couldn't watch this. The camera was out of focus or refocusing ALL the time. I almost got a bit dizzy.
I use the file quite a bit actually
What's the name of the last one?
The Trail Guide. Tools included a large knife blade, cap lifter / can opener combo tool, metal saw / file, and scissors.
This model was also sold through the Marlboro Unlimited catalog with the Marlboro Unlimited logo printed on the bottom scale.
Victorianox needs to get rid of the parcel hook. Just my opinion
Sacrilege!!! 😆
@@swissarmydan9354 they could just put a reamer or a cork screw would be more useful I think. People might find away to use it maybe.

Hi sakdan, is your modder friend open for business?
Climber small :") IL
First like! Jejeje
Good music!!!
Gracias, mi amigo!
good spanish...... ! jejejeje
What can I say? I'm a renaissance man. lol :)
anyway, your spanish is better than my english....!
these videos would be a lot cooler if you would actually show us the knives without your hand totally obscuring the view
Man, you are the heartbreakkid! lol 1st negative comment in about 20k views. Congrats! Sorry about my hands, dude!!!! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
i'm sorry if i sounded negative ..i didn't mean to...i was just interested in the knives and i couldn't see them lol
No problem! If there's something in particular you'd like more info about, I'll make another vid and try to keep my paws out of it! Cheers!
THEHEARTBREAKKID71 😂 so true
