Video Transcription

all right so this is the third video of this miniseries out of four this time we're going to talk about the folder that many people have seen again ask questions about this is this is what the series about if ever this is a first video it's just answering questions it's not you know telling you that you have to buy this knife or is the best so on with the knife it's the Victorinox one-handed trekker I've had this knife for about I'd say two years maybe and I absolutely love it I mean when you talk about any Victorinox you guys know about all these wonderful knives they're pretty much all wonderful but this one to me really got my attention and since I had it I mean very useful to my needs anyway one thing it's not full of tools that I don't normally need now I always have my Leatherman was given to me a while back by except this is always on me this is a multi-tool all the tools that I need are in here all right for everyday for my work it's the Leatherman charge of leave yep uh-huh yeah Leatherman charge great excellent tool love it it's just amazing little thing now for the one-handed trekker I don't need as many tools and that's why I like this knife there are three major tools on this that I absolutely love first of all it's the you know one-handed blade one thing one ended I always I'm starting to like this because you know you never may get injured so on and so forth you still have a way of opening your knife pretty fast

also it locks in place let's just take the little minute to talk about the blade I have just to show you that it's a Victorinox all right I have no idea no clue whatsoever what type of steel this is certainly a stainless steel but I don't know what the blade is I know around three inches it's very easy to sharpen I mean a thin blade like this works great the spine is about 1/8 of an inch

like I said easy to sharpen and it holds an edge pretty good pretty good a few things two things actually that people may not like about this blade first of all is the pointy in here it's not as pointy as a normal life but that's not a problem for me it's true it doesn't make holes as well as a normal life a typical knife but this is a type of rescue type blade but doesn't matter I have the all to make my holes now the reason why it's made this way concerning the rescue just give you an example very simple one I don't know your you come upon an accident and there's you know someone's stuck with their seatbelt well you want to get under the seatbelt you don't want to poke the person anywhere so this goes great you know you're trying to do something and sometimes you may be panicky or stressed so this is why it's made this way right just imagine the belt is here and you can go under it without poking the person also a lot of people that dislike is the lock mechanism on this now I'm right-handed and if I try to unlock it it won't work right

it's hard difficult to show you but if you're left-handed there's no problem I can push that way then lock it but I'm right-handed and it will not unlock because it's the other way now the reason why that's there again is for security rescue tool type thing type deal think of the the seatbelt again okay illustration now I'm upside down like this but if I'd be going and you know taking try and automatically my thumb goes on this lock and they done that so just in case I don't you know a moment of panic you push on the blade as you push this way of course it's not that way but you know what I mean and they don't just in case the blade isn't closed on your hands or any other way that's what I was told anyway but if you're left-handed all right this will work great just unlock it alright should have done the video the other way

but anyway great little blade love it thin and very easy to control so let's talk about another tool that I simply love obviously it's the song now the solid doesn't lock great great great little saw for the size I mean I have nothing to say about this it's pretty long I actually like this better than should I say it my Leatherman Oh anyway love this saw that's the second tool they love and at the top here is the other one that I love and that's the all right

now what's great about the all on this Victorinox is that the edge is sharp all right I need to do some work on that but the edges sharp a lot easier to make holes if it's in wood or fabric whatever the case may be goes great now Phillips could be useful I don't use it often the three first one that I show you guys I use that's what I use the most on this tool also it has the flat screwdriver and some reason this one locks as well and the bottle opener now for me this is absolutely useless

nothing opens that way anymore well not where I live anyway and this fat pretty fat anyway flat head I mean I never used that be honest some people say to use as a pry bar but I mean it's gonna have to be a very they can't you can't use a too too too hard because it's not gonna last long all right so lock this and this by the way unlocks normally with your right hand and on the other side yeh can open that I use great does not lock and you have your typical tweezers all right which could be very useful haven't used them much and on the other side toothpick which is also useful so all in all this little thing very affordable not too heavy I don't know the weight sorry guys you have to look that one up great

I mean maybe around 35 40 bucks you can get this no problems love this guy and if you want to get into something something else that I carry quite often and a little bit cheaper to buy is the dozer from ke baare you can get this for about I don't know 20 bucks maybe on eBay or so what I love about this knife now I'm not sure about the blade you guys can correct me maybe it's us 8 anyway anybody knows please write it down there be appreciated it's easy to sharpen and holds an edge not so bad not the greatest not like not like this one but it holds an edge I mean it's 20 bucks locked back right the big thing about this that I like it's very lightweight first time I got this I said this is gonna it's cheap and it's gonna be really cheap because you know it felt cheap but it's not but the factor the factor that I love about this knife is so lightweight is surround I think it's 2 ounces I don't even know that it's in my pocket it's honest truth so 20 bucks not a bad deal all right works right so I'm sorry guys you know I'm not a great reviewer and I don't really like to do it I went really fast just answering some questions I hope that was enough the next video is going to be a knife that I'm gonna show you guys that I've never shown before it's just a little pride and joy that I have in a folder so again I thank you very much for all those great comments and thank you again for watching this is my crumble Jeff Barnes bye
