Victorinox Swiss Army Rescue Tool


I'm beginning to like the Rescue Tool more all the time. Initially I was going to send it back but now I think I'll keep it. It's well-constructed, pretty well-designed and it GLOWS IN THE DARK! How cool is that? It's also a bit of a handful but I think that's a plus since you need a bit of leverage and a solid grip to operate it properly anyway. The seatbelt cutter is amazingly sharp and easy to deploy and both screwdrivers are very substantial. I'm not sure I'll ever use the glass saw but it's nice to have anyway. My only complaints revolve around the large locking blade. It's got a weird partial serration that runs back from the tip. It should be either be fully serrated or better yet, not serrated at all so it could be sharpened. My other issue is that the liner lock is counter-intuitive. Instead of pushing it with your thumb to release the blade you have to pull it toward you. It's awkward to operate and makes it hard to close the knife one-handed. The mystery is that the liner-lock for the screwdriver blade works the proper way. I'd give this thing five stars if they changed the blade serrations and liner-lock but it's still a good product and well worth the money.
