Victorinox Swiss Army VS leatherman

hello youtube this is a video on what i got for christmas which is my leatherman wave and how it compares to the victorinox swiss army knife It is actually gold plated, from texas tool crafters which you can find on ebay only cost slightly more than the standard leatherman I think i paid about $110 Australian dollars I am going to compare these 3 knives If you know anything about knives, or multi tools there is basically two or maybe three types of popular multi tools and knives Victorinox, Leatherman, and wenger and maybe gerber The original swiss army knife is the Victorinox which you can easily recognise from this logo This is in my opinion the best multi tool that money can buy The best quality knife and multi tool. This is the second leatherman knife i have owned, it is made in the USA I have had quite a few victorinox knives, i am actually a bit of a collector of victorinox knives This would be more suited for trades people, painter, plasterer, carpenter, brick layer something you'd be happy to have knocked around its more functional in that sense, but it is not as of a high quality as the Victorinox The Victorinox knives in my opinion are a superior standard of knife The steel is a much higher quality and the finish on the knife is much better This is the Victorinox swiss army work champ which has quite a large blade, which can be locked opened its quite a bit larger than a standard swiss army knive The smaller one has had quite a bit of use This larger knife is only a few months old I have two Victorinox Work champ knives it has a small pair of pliers which is usually the decider between buying the victorinox or buying the leatherman, which has a larger pair of pliers The leatherman is basically a full set of pliers The Victorinox pliers, though small, are very good pliers I actually over used the Victorinox pliers, and broke a pair but i was being very *** the Victorinox knife It is now in my car as a spare tool i use for various things I keep this larger Victorinox Swiss Army knife in the house, for general work around the home The leatherman is the tool i use at work, on a job site However with the gold plating, i am not sure how it will hold up I might end up buying another one that is not gold plated to use at work Its a very sterdy tool, very tough, and the blades and tools lock open I use the pliers quite a bit having a large set of pliers at work is essential The other thing is the casing on the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is plastic and the leatherman is steel Victorinox have several knives that have a steel cover, but they arent very functional knives The quality of the leatherman, and the way it is produced is of much lower quality than the Victorinox swiss army knife My previous leatherman, i believe was a higher quality knife The finish on the blades, and the way they are sharpened are of a low quality i believe i could do a better job by hand in the shed The blade is sharpened quite rough, and there are very small gouges all along the blade The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is sharpened to perfection and has a very nice mirror finish The leatherman has a poor finish overall on the knife compared to the Swiss made Victorinox Swiss Army Knife This is a poorly finished knife, the leatherman. This Victorinox knife has had a reasonable amount of use and you can see how precise the blade is If i was going to buy another one of these i would buy the Victorinox Swiss Tool over another leatherman I am still happy with the leatherman it will be a good work knife but i am very fussy when it comes to these things Thank you for watching, please subscribe and like my video as i will be closed captioning all my videos for the deaf, and people that speak a foreign language.
