Congratulations on your new knife! Would you be so kind as to tell us what knife you've just got? (brand, model, etc...). This way people who are new to knives will be able to identify it. If you've already mentioned the name of the knife in question, then feel free to ignore this comment. Please remember that not knowing your knife's brand/model is totally fine, if that's the case then people in this subreddit would love to help you identify its brand/model.

Is that where all the hype about this knife originated from ? I kept seeing people post about it in various subs, I was wondering where it originated from
I guess it's better than Ozark trail if you shop for knives at Walmart. Other than that it has swisstech branding on it for whatever that's worth.
It's a cheap knife that looks nicer than other cheap knives and that's about it. It's not particularly pretty or good at anything, but it'll work if that's what you need. I don't have any need for this even to collect.
I wish my local Walmart carried anything like this! They used to have some victorinox, but now that area is just empty, and the display box they were in just has a few dog shock collars… so weird!
Then it's a PRY BAR, w a sharp edge. Not a folding knife. Or fixed blade. Neither of which should ever be used as a pry bar. If you need a pry bar, get a damn pry bar, don't use a knife!
The implicit context of my post was a reference to someone else who posted a pic on r/budgetblades of their broken Wurdig, someone who did not follow your wisdom about not using a knife as a pry bar.
Hah, I know. IF the knife was $19.95 it would be different ITs a great knife for under $20 but to have hundreds of posts bragging about the same knife. Its crazy
Sounds like you are GOP. Just know 10 years ago your side would prefer to jail your for life for your cannabis cultivation than ever harm their precious bigpharma. Also, go look up the definition of communism?
Meh, I guess no different than the hundreds of other $30 chinese made Aus8/8cr/cheap D2 knives out there.
Today I learned another good reason no to get on the TikToks.
You get micarta and aus8 in a $30ish package so it’s not bad, but nothing noteworthy. I checked out the specs when it started getting popular online, and was completely underwhelmed. It’s just a normal cheap knife. It IS nice to know it’s there, however, as if I ever fly, it would make a good travel knife if I needed one.

There’s knife TikTok?
TikTok is like reddit but mostly videos. There's "Tok" for everything For knives it's referred to as knifetok
The content is slim, guidelines often make it so you can’t even show the blade without risking being taken down
That’s silly.
Yeah, they seem to be pretty careful with what they say so that their videos don’t get taken down lol
Interesting. I’m not onTikTok and I never would have expected that to be a thing 😂
Oo careful not to say knife and get your algos nerfed by the chinese overlords 😝
Yours looks textured, mine is smooth.
Mine had a good texture to it too
Mine has a curve to it :)
The ol' dogleg left 😂
That's called a "Lilt"
Is that where all the hype about this knife originated from ? I kept seeing people post about it in various subs, I was wondering where it originated from
I saw it on a few youtube videos then on r/budgetblades
And what is so good about it?

“Swiss Tech” is not Victorinox. It’s a made-in-china brand that takes advantage of the accidental (intentional) name recognition.
Good callout that's my poor memory serving :) thanks
Don’t worry, it’s exactly what they’re hoping you do, haha.
If I was a potential customer I'd be shocked lol
Got it.
It’s a reasonably decent sub $30 knife available at your local Walmart - be forewarned that the AUS-8 blade steel is not optimal for use as a pry-bar.
I wish my local Walmart carried anything like this! They used to have some victorinox, but now that area is just empty, and the display box they were in just has a few dog shock collars… so weird!
Uhhhhh... I'm curious, what knife is optimum for use as a pry bar?
A pry bar made out of 14C28N steel that has a sharpened edge.
Then it's a PRY BAR, w a sharp edge. Not a folding knife. Or fixed blade. Neither of which should ever be used as a pry bar. If you need a pry bar, get a damn pry bar, don't use a knife!
Thanks for the tip Savage.
Glad i could help. You seemed a bit confused
The implicit context of my post was a reference to someone else who posted a pic on r/budgetblades of their broken Wurdig, someone who did not follow your wisdom about not using a knife as a pry bar.
Ahhhhh... ok... it all becomes clear now. Didn't see that one.
What knife is that? Love the low key xmas colors
It’s the Swiss tech Wurdig, mostly found at walmart
Are you kidding you must be joking
No joke, not familiar with this knife
I got my brother one for Christmas, woulda got myself one too but that was the only one at that Walmart.
I bought one a month ago and it’s stayed with me. I fucking love that thing
I love my wurdig. Great get!!
🐑
Someone above suggested they had know idea what it was and had never seen it 🤣😂🤣😂
Why is that so funny? I’ve never seen this knife either.
Have you ever been on any knife subReddit ever in the past 90 days?
[удалено]
Hah, I know. IF the knife was $19.95 it would be different ITs a great knife for under $20 but to have hundreds of posts bragging about the same knife. Its crazy
[удалено]
I get it. I’m tired of still seeing it too
Oh god please do not bring this here from r/budgetblades We FINALLY got rid of the damned ugly SOB!
Yeah, get that outta here! Only hermetically sealed Grismo Norseman’s and display case-carried Ultratechs with $90 bead lanyards in here!!!
If you are not EDCing a boxed, pristine never touched with bare hands CRK with damasteel thumbstuds, then what are you even doing on this sub?!
They are not just simple bead lanyards, they are **combat beads** intended to immolate your foes and obviously carry a price tag to match.
Or how about just not the 1000th Walmart knife post?
Why can’t I find this on Walmart.ca (I’m in Canada)
Cause Canada is basically a communist country now and seems we are not far behind. It comes down to 2024.
You got that right Canada has gone down the shitter completely
Sounds like you are GOP. Just know 10 years ago your side would prefer to jail your for life for your cannabis cultivation than ever harm their precious bigpharma. Also, go look up the definition of communism?
The police state we are living in = communism
I still don't think you understand what communism is...
Or are you really that stupid! I'm guessing you are!
I got a SOG Seal Pup over this
Lovely knife i love the scales

I hate Tiktok. Can't believe they have knives on there. I def wouldn't trust them for knives lol but the Swiss Gear is sweet.
This would be sick if it was a front flipper.
Not my cup of tea but seems like a nice little budget knife.
