If my life depends on it, it gets its own toolkit. Why would you do this? Bicycle gets its own tool. Kit, land cruiser gets its own tool. Kit motorcycle gets its own tool.

Kit snowboard gets its own tool. Kit house gets its own tool. Kit workshop is its own tool kit. I get my own tool kit.

My tools do not migrate between nests. This is the land cruiser screwdriver. It's not the workshop screwdriver, it's not the studio screwdriver, it's not the bmw screwdriver. This screwdriver is for fixing the land cruiser.

No, you may not borrow my tools. My tools come with me. I and my tools will help you. This is my edc, my everyday carry.

There are many like it, but this one is mine. This model is called the swiss champ, not the swiss champion. The swiss champion ain't got no pliers without me, my swiss champ is useless. Without my swiss champ, i am useless once packed a swiss champ and only a swiss champ on europe trip.

I like the way it slides in and out of my pockets. When i leave home, i carry a swiss champ. I use the scissors most often usually to cut open sauce or food packages or string cord twine or line got ta wash it now and then, unless it gets gunked up with ketchup used. The saw yesterday to cut forwarding sticks.

This file will cut steel and aluminum. I've used every tool in this thing at one time or another. I've replaced the stock pin with a needle. For obvious reasons.

This hook is for putting a chain back on sprockets without getting your hands dirty or re-beating a bike tire in berlin. The manual says it's for carrying pastry boxes too those classy swiss soldiers - god bless them. If you are going to own only one tool own the swiss champ victorinox brand. Only they do not pay me.

Look for the funny shaped shield, not the square one or a leather man, of course, but we'll talk about that later in another video this week on the patreon, a live stream. Answering your questions. The link is right. There.

    Yes! I cannot fathom getting ready for the day and leaving the house without a pocket knife… I’d leave without my phone or wallet first. I’d be naked without it.

    Sidenote to image 14a “carrying using the hook”: there are more use cases than just carrying fancy pastry boxes. In Switzerland, you don’t throw your paper in the trash. You precisely stack your used paper, newspaper, etc. Then you use a string to tie your stack of paper together. You need to carry your Stack from your flat down to the street, where it gets picked up.

    Great video! I love my victorinox knives! My EDC is a vintage ranger, it has most of the tools of the champ but it's missing the pin, the chisel, the pliers, the Phillips and the magnifying glass. But, it's a lot easier to pocket carry in shorts.

    I think one day I will get a champ, however.

    I am a victorinox person by birth yet my most used Swiss knife is a dog chewed up wenger I found near my house maybe about just as old as the one in the video. I do wish I had scissors, pliers, file, saw, and pen or firestarter instead…but it gets the main task done….smokin weed

    Had my champ for 12 years now. It’s my everyday carry too.

    I have the Swiss champion. It has no pliers that can break.

    Saying no is an important skill most people have forgotten about

    Incredible flow man, I love your meandering vibe too in most of your vids but cool to see you try on the choppy new yorker style, sure you mastered it before my time. Here to learn in more ways than one!

    That's the quote from the jarhead :)) I mean you updated it

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Crowe says:

    So the get started tool kit is the Swiss Champ? I'm disappointed.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JF says:

    Impeccable timing. Just purchased a Swiss Champ yesterday. Definitely made the right choice.
