Victorinox Rambler Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Small, Multi Tool, 10 Functions, Screwdriver, Scissors, Red

Product Information

Naturally, when it comes to which SAK to buy, there are fundamental choices to be made about what size of SAK you want as well as what functionality. Obviously, that can be personal preference. So, while I'm not going to list the features of each type of SAK, I'll talk about why I like particular knives (or don't) comparing their feature based on my preferences. I think I'm probably fairly "typical", but if you have different preferences your opinions won't necessarily match mine, of course. Given that, I can't really give this version a fair review. If you want to get it scissors on a plane, it sounds like it works. I just haven't had the energy to test that theory when push came to shove. Leatherman Wave+ reigns supreme as our favorite multitool; (photo/Josh Wussow) Why You Should Trust Us Rogue - Very similar: A flat screwdriver tip replaces the Phillips tip on the cap-lifter; nail cleaner tip on the nail-file In late 2010 a larger second run was made which included a few silver-scaled models with standard red shields, rather than the single color scales

The nail file is a nice touch, and I also find that good to use as letter opener instead of using the sharp blade for that. The bottle opener isn't the best, but it does the job, and it's understandable that it's hard to make a better bottle opener on such a small tool. I'm also a big fan all of the knives in my "medium" category quite a bit. Which one works for you is really a matter of what features you want and if an additional feature is worth the, typically minor, increase in weight. These are 3 of my favorites. However, this confuses me often as I am accustomed to opening the knife from outside in the Classic or the Rambler. Hopefully, with more practice, this won’t be an issue for long.

Classic of Creativity: The Original Swiss Army Knife is a timeless classic, known for creativity, functionality, and quality. Compact, agile, and adventure-ready, it has been an icon since 1897. The Rambler’s main blade is sharp, and the scissors are hefty enough to snip through a length of paracord. They’ll also serve as adequate nail clippers, should the need for personal maintenance arise. Being a minimalist, I do not like carrying useless tools. In this sense, I would have loved it if the cuticle pusher was replaced by something more useful, or not added to the MiniChamp at all. But that is just me, you may find it useful. I think in price-sensitive markets, the high price and low availability will be the deciding factor for many. For the addition of just one new tool, this price hike is quite significant. If you don’t find the extra tool that useful, The cost-benefit just isn’t there. The combination of tools is just great with the scissors, philips screwdriver and the flathead screwdriver.

And while the aforementioned big three brands have a lot of quality products, there are a few stinkers even in their lineups. To help you sort the garbage from the gold, we’ve assembled a list of multitools, balancing quality, versatility, tool count, and price point But sometimes, things you didn’t anticipate become the most valuable. Take the eyeglass screwdriver on the Wave+. This precision instrument has seen a ton of use, serving as the perfect complement to the rest of the kit. This SAK is basically the Champ Plus only with pliers. As I mentioned, I don't think terribly much of the pliers, but if I'm just throwing it in a drawer or a glove compartment and not trying to carry it around, why not have one with the pliers. :) I do own one I keep in my car for that reason. Too big to EDC for me. With its compact size and ample skillset, the Victorinox Rambler is perfect for lovers of the original Swiss Army Classic who want a little extra functionality.

Compare this with a lightweight item like the Leatherman Skeletool. Not only is its driver much stronger, but it’s also replaceable. And because the whole tool is easier to carry, you’re more likely to have it on you when the need arises. Materials This is another excellent option in the "medium" size SAKs. It has a lot of the elements I really like about the Champ Plus: the eyeglass screwdrivers, the pen, the pin, the magnifying glass, but is not as bulky. Two key things missing from Champion Plus are fish scaler / ruler (which I don't care much about) and the wood saw (which actually I do like as I said earlier). While I like this one A LOT whether or not I use it compared to the Army Fieldmaster depends on if I'm in a wood saw mood or a magnifying glass, eyeglass screwdriver, pen, pin mood. It's also slightly bulkier than the Fieldmaster. I use this one most of the time when I'm not using my champ plus because I typically use things like the magnifying glass and pen more than the wood saw. Also, the screwdriver isn't the "T" screwdriver, which is a bit easier. I also like having an eyeglass screwdriver with me. So, if I had to recommend one SAK to someone, it is probably this one.

There is no point in comparing the individual tools side-by-side as all the tools in both the MiniChamp and the Micra are very small and one will not have any significant advantage over the other. And for the most part, the Signal lives up to its billing as “a perfect fit for every adventure.” Leatherman’s signature combination of pliers, various edges, and easy-access tools make this not just a good camping multitool, but a solid everyday companion. It’s got that wonderful bit-swapping magic, along with replaceable wire cutters and a legitimately wonderful small saw.
