| In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in genius design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of first class stainless steel, are guaranteed a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. If it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife. |

 The best mix of tools |

| This one has the perfect set of tools, in my opinion. The scissors, most people will want. The Victorinox saw is outstanding. Be careful, as it will make quick work of your fingers; it is very sharp and cuts aggressively. It is also good that the can opener and bottle opener are separate tools. The Victorinox can opener works wonderfully, but the combo tool which is a can and bottle opener rolled into one doesn't work well on cans. Also, the can opener has a handy little screwdriver tip which can be used as a Philips screwdriver sometimes. The reamer is a lot more handy than you would think, though not as a reamer. I use it to change watch bandes, as the sharp tip reaches in and releases the spring bars without too much fuss. The most used tool for me though is the large screwdriver tip on the bottle opener. The one disadvantage with this one is that it is starting to get a bit thick to carry in your pocket. A belt sheath would be more appropriate, if you can pull that off without feeling too geeky. (Personally, I don't care, hehehe) |
Outstanding knife!

| I looked at many different variations of Swiss Army Knife before I decided on this one. I couldn't be happier! This has an excellent variety of tools for everyday jobs (the screwdriver heads, the small blade, the scissors), and it's great for outdoor use at picnics, camping, or canoeing (the saw blade, the large knife, the toothpick). There are still a few tools I haven't used, but overall, this is one of the best mixes of tools for the money. |
Victorinox Has the Best Blades

I own three Victorinox knives. The blades on all of them are of the highest quality. I also own a Wenger executive Swiss Army knife. But if you are debating the difference between Wenger and this knife, the Victorinox is noticably superior for quality and construction.
As the other reviewer has commented this does have the best mix of tools. But unless you have a sheath on your belt it is unlikely you will be carrying this around with you. It is just too bulky. Highly useful as a knife to have in the kitchen drawer or glove box of your car. The plastic handle material will wear and possibly crack over time, but if you are not a tradesman it would take a long time for that to happen.
I will definitely purchase this knife for my nephew, who is interested in camping and hiking. A handy item to keep in the house so you don't have to drag out the toolbox every time something needs tightening or cutting. This is one tool I think everybody should have in the house or car, you will be suprized at how many times you will use it! |
i could not be happier with this knive

| After sadly losing my favorite knife at the airport (you know the drill), I needed to replace it with one with the same features (no corkscrew, yes phillips head screwdriver). I love it and I will definitely be more careful next time I fly. |
