(edit) The video has been removed by the user, may be after 100+ view, mostly all dislike and only got 1 like vote... some commented about his ignorance and lack of knowledge in tools functions but insisting he was doing no BS review that the wenger is a POS that some newbie or average joe steer away...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_G7B4TLhYc (i'm not the one who make that video)

i feel so piss off looking at that video (please dont watch it if you dont want to get upset hehehe)... he complain alot about wegner (i know, he even ignorance enough to know its wenger, not wegner)..
i love watching knives and SAKs review, but this one is pure ridiculous.

i love wenger SAKs, its good, well design and nice to have something to compare to victorinox... to bad same people who trash it... complaining about its not sharp can opener, corkscrew, scissor that he doesnt understand or the steel blade that he felt ridiculously soft that it got dull on cutting a donut!

some people just can not be satisfied...

i take that wanger anyday as EDC than not having any knives on my pocket hehehe...

have a great day guys...

Having watched this video, I should feel PO'ed, but I don't. It's just too stupid to get worked up over. Unfortunately, modern technology has made it too easy for every idiot with a computer to get on u-tube. It really doesn't mean anything, except it gives a forum for over indulged self inflated young punks to spout off on subjects they don't know squat about.

However, if I were a rep or high mucky-muck at Wenger, I'd be temped to sick my legal department on him for slander. Either that or chain him up to a sea wall at low tide, with the tide coming in and hand him a 'Wagner" sak and wish him luck.

Carl.

Please consider your thread titles in the future. That one was inappropriate for any of our knife discussion forums which need to be family friendly.

As far as the subject. Carl said it best.

 

[GIRLYmann]

dunno but anyone else, but that constant "throat clearing" in the background was by far, the worst aspect of the entire vdo review...ahem to that!

It's so ignorant it's painful. I didn't know that Wenger model has two bottle openers and a file sharpener.

 

[Alann45]

Agree with and can't improve on Carl's comment.

Some Youtube vids can be quite helpful, unfortunately this is not one of them.

Well, sometimes my file gets blunt and I need a file sharpener, so that would be pretty useful!

I put in a 'dislike' vote - I feel stupider for having watched that review!
I can see the occasional valid point, but there was just too much stupidity in there.
OK - he didn't like the scissors and found that they performed poorly for what he wanted to cut, that's fair enough.
But that rubbish about the can opener being blunt, why not actually open a can with it and see if it is any good or not rather than just trashing the tool without trying it?
The whining about the corkscrew was just idiotic - he likes Victorinox but not Wagner (and here's me thinking it was a Wenger), guess what - Victorinox also make SAKs with corkscrews! He should buy a bottle of wine and bring it around to my place, he'd find that not everyone has a corkscrew - except that I actually do have a corkscrew, on my SAK!

I use to find the corkscrew annoying (almost as annoying as someone calling it a bottle opener).
I had no use for it even though I know it can have other uses beside removing a cork.
To me it just got in the way and ruined the look and feel of the knife.
I found a simple solution.....I just bought my SAKs without it!

Lot of folks think Victorinox and Wenger are still seperate companys and are not aware that Wenger was bought by Victorinox several years ago.
Not really surprising that folks will get confused. While they are both owned by the same company, the design and marketing of the two brands has stayed distinctly different.
Wenger has never seemed to grab the same following in the US that Victorinox has, and many don't think its as good.

For crediblity, the reviewer should have at least gotten the spelling of the name correct. :thumbdn:

Oh wait....maybe what he had was a knockoff and not an original and actually was a Wagner. Sort of like those Bolex watches you used to get offered by a guy at the airport.

You should have just bought one with the corkscrew that you didn't like and then made a youtube video whining about it - that's what all the cool kids do!
I never use the corkscrew on my EDC, but it still make a good holder for my eyeglasses screwdriver. I have had guests that have bought wine and my SAK corkscrew is the only corkscrew I own - in a way not being a wine drinker makes my SAK corkscrew more useful because if I was a wine drinker I'd own a dedicated corkscrew and wouldn't need the one on my SAK.
So, even though I don't drink wine I'm happy to have a corkscrew on my EDC SAK, you never know when you'll have a guest with a bottle of wine that didn't bring a corkscrew, assuming that you would have one or when you'll be at a party or a gathering of some sort where there will be someone trying to find a misplaced corkscrew unable to open some wine without it.

It is just like the can opener - I have a can opener in the kitchen drawer so what do I need one on my SAK for? Unless I go camping and take a can that needs opening, of course. Or if one day I can't find the can opener because someone has misplaced it - then I'll be glad that my SAK makes such a useful backup for my normal stuff.
The bottle opener is also not needed because all bottles are screw top these days, except that 4-pack of Stella Artois that a guest bought the other day - those needed a bottle opener . . . Oh, I guess there are times that it IS useful.
Actually I consider the can opener & bottle opener to be 'must have' tools on a SAK because they are useful as screwdrivers & for prying, it is always useful to have screwdrivers available for when you need to open up one of today's modern gadgets.

It's easy for someone to moan about how stupid it is to have a certain tool on a SAK because they can't imagine a situation where they would need that tool, but usually it is just that they don't have a very good imagination. It is especially silly when they could just buy a different variation of that SAK that doesn't include the tool that they don't think they'll ever need.
For me I find it especially worthwhile to have rarely used tools on my SAK because those are just the tools I wouldn't otherwise have available (e.g. a corkscrew) and besides there are often other uses for those tools that you may not have thought of.

Its true gadgeatholic... having SAK on our pocket isnt to totally replace all the tools that we need, but they're a great backup tools!

we could have a nice set of screwdrivers,scissors,pliers, saw, blades and so on, but we dont bring them all in our pocket all the time... sometime i draw a SAK from my pocket to tighten some screws, praying a can of paint, cut some blister pack, trim my fingernail with a scissor... it just nice to have those tools when we need... than need the tools but we dont bring any...
i bet u see my point-- there must be something about the SAKs that makes you pocketed a cybertools for more than 10years!

about the corkscrew, i never use it for opening a bottle of wine, but have faound some creative way to make it usefull, but the main reason is just like you-to store the mini glasses nscrewdriver... also 99% of me using the bottle cap is not for opening bottle, but to use the screwdriver tip.

i feel sorry to the ignorant "wegner reviewer"... well, that SAK could have serve someone else for a lifetime and function properly... i bet i wont get dull on cutting a donut hehehe... maybe the donut was made from hard plastic or ceramic, since he's ignorance enough to try to cut an "artificial" display purpose donut hehehe... since he doesnt want to be corrected and keep thinking that he's doing the right thing, then let him think so... its funny that a person would review something he doesnt even understand... well, once again carl said it the best!

i wonder who vote for "like" in his video hehehe...

Maybe it's only fitting that a tool should do reviews of other tools.

In general, I find most you-tube review videos painful to watch. Many look like they're recorded with a $5 web cam or cell phone. Voices are usually terrible - either poor sound quality or funny accents. And camera movement is often reminiscent of a roller coaster, as if everyone on YouTube went to the Blair Witch Film School.
So there are certainly worse than this guy's. At least the camera was held steady.

the only positive side of that "wegner review" hehehe.
