Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Tie Dye Knife (Pink)

I am happy with the knife portion, I don't love the tie dye on the outside. It looks cheap and is not what I expected (I expected more from victorinox)

Victorinox Large Zermatt Pouch Leather Black w/Steel

When I first saw this product on Amazon, it looked like the perfect case, sleek and appealing. However, once I received it, the actual product was a huge disappointment. The first thing I noticed was that while the front of the pouch looks clean and well made, the back is entirely handsewn, and the stitches are definitely not straight. Also, the buckle itself is extremely difficult to open and close, requiring a very hard tug to release. However, all this would not have ruined the product, except for one very important detail which I learned the hard way. The button buckle is sewn directly into the leather holster, so that the other side of the button protrudes into the pouch. This means that once a knife is placed inside, when closing the pouch, which requires a lot of force, the metal button is pressed against the knife. Imagine my dismay when I put my brand new Victorinox knife into the pouch, and when I took it back out it had a large circular scratch on it from the button! With only one use this pouch managed to ruin my knife. I'm now ordering a new knife, and throwing this pouch away.

Victorinox - Swiss Army Altimeter Plus- Ruby Knife

As a gadget freak and an amateur collector of knives, I was elated when my fiance gave me this knife for our anniversary. The hardware on the knife, if it had a separate review, would have gotten 5 stars. It compactly presents a myriad of tools for cutting, opening, screw removal, and more. For this reason, I don't leave home without it.

The altimeter/thermometer feature is less than perfect, but considering the knife's cost and size, it is about what I expected. The one-button interface is a bit hard to get used to at first, but is managable. The thermometer consistently reads about 8 degrees F too high (of course, knowing that, I can get a pretty good idea of the real temp from the reading anyway). After calibrating the altimeter, I have found that the outside barometric pressure has a huge impact on the displayed altitude. For precision altimetry, this could be a significant problem; however, if the user knows he or she is at a constant altitude, the variance in the reading can make a pretty effective barometer.

All in all, the product is quite nice, although I would ask those who really need a precision altimeter to look elsewhere. For everyone else, go for it.

Victorinox SwissMemory 512 MB Flight (Translucent Ruby)

While it is nice to always have a pen, a knife, a scissors and a nail file, handy - it is ubber-geek to have a USB drive with you. Carry MP3s, data, utilities in your pocket (or purse) always. My only complaint is that I have been spoiled by the bright white LEDs, as apposed to the dimmer red LED on this great little tool.

Victorinox Large Zermatt Pouch Leather Brown w/Steel

The Zermatt pocket knife sheath is well made and durable. The leather is thick and the stitching is heavy duty. It is a little big, but not excessive and understandable as it is made to fit several different knives. The sharpening steel is a little on the small side, but more than adequate for touching up the edge when you're away from a proper sharpener. In short, a good value for money and a great accessory for a great tool.

Oh yes, and much classier than a nylon sheath 8-)

Victorinox Hiker Red 91mm

For years I carried a Classic SD knife until I "lost" it at the airport. I was looking for a replacement when I found the Classic SD bundled with this knife. Well, I lost the second Classic SD at the airport (slow learner), so now all I carry is this knife. It has come in handy for outdoor activities as well as household chores. I miss the scissors and nail cleaner, though, so now I am looking for another compact Swiss Army knife with those tools.

Victorinox SwissMemory 1 GB Flight (Silver Alox)

I bought one of these "Swiss Army Knife for the 21st Century" -- complete with a 1 gb flash drive -- because I thought it was delightful, stylish, well-designed, and manufactured by Victorinox -- a name I trusted. But in less than a month, the flash drive had broken -- it was irreparable. It happened like this: one day, when I pulled it from the USB port (I didn't yank -- I just pulled, the way you would pull any removable drive from a USB port), the inner workings of the drive pulled completely free from their plastic encasement and bent, breaking the contact points between the connector and the memory. I have never seen anything like it -- the soldering, or something, must have been done very poorly indeed. The drive was rendered useless instantly.

To make matters worse, I couldn't reach anyone at Victorinox or their "Swissbits" division -- my only option was to send a message to their Technical Support e-mail address, from which I received an automated response and then -- nothing. For now, anyway, I cannot find any way to reach a human being at the company.

As wonderful as the product looks, I most assuredly would not buy a "Swissbits" product again without some foreknowledge that their quality standards were higher and that they had some customer support mechanism in place. I am utterly and totally disappointed in a company I otherwise respected -- Victorinox -- and from whom I have purchased products many times over the years.

I would warn anyone who buys one of these Swiss Army 1 gb flash drives to back everything up on it on a daily basis, and not to expect it to last. This product seems more gimmick than innovation.

Manager II, Midnite (53851) Category: Miscellaneous Knives

Great little knife for everyday use. I don't want to carry a huge knife and this one fits perfectly in that tiny pocket in your jeans (I've finally found a purpose for that pocket). Bottle opener for opening tasty micro brews, handy sharp little knife, and the pen is quite handy as well.

Victorinox 6-Piece Paring Set Black Nylon

These knives are the BEST!!! They are the sharpest ever and it is VERY apparent that they are of excellent quality! I had had experience with a Victorinox paring knife at work and was AMAZED at how sharp it is and how it stays sharp. Everyone hoarded it because they wanted to use it. Sliced tomatoes as thin as wanted. So, when I wanted to get a gift for my son....I went right for these. Even bought more sizes and a set of steak knives from Victorinox. A bit spendy..but WORTH the price! My son was MORE than pleased!

Victorinox - Swiss Army Gardener, Red

A very lightweight and high quality pocketknife, 2 1/4" blade with a 4" roughened nylon handle, a smallish knife but large enough for those big hands. Non-locking but opens with a very secure click. Only 1 1/4 oz., a lot lighter than my CRKT locking folder which is 4 1/8 oz., so it doesn't pull my pants down (hey, I like a loose fit, what can I say?). If you're bothered by the larger folders with their pocket clips, this might work for you as the perfect string-cutting, package-opening pocketknife. My CRKT still hangs off my backpack, but I reach first for the little Swiss Army knife for most cutting chores.

A must have for all Swiss army knives that have cork screws. Works great for tightening eyeglass and other small standard screws. Only drawback is that it is easy to lose, so buy a few.

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife

After ~40 years almost never without a multitool in my pocket, now I have to anticipate security searches. This is a scaled version of the Victorinox Tinker, the same size as most Wenger pocket knives. Wenger knives, in every way I can determine, are functionally superior to Victorinox. Where there's any design difference Wenger tools work a bit better. Lately, though, even their slightly smaller size has become an advantage when emptying pockets at a metal detector. The difference is tiny, something like 7mm in length, but it's noticeable, and fosters the impression of me being someone who needs to fix things rather than someone who wants to cut things. So why not get another Wenger? Only because they're less common and more expensive. You're not likely to break a Swiss Army knife, but almost certain to lose it eventually. This diminutive Tinker does the job just fine for a low price. It's of the quality that made Victorinox famous, in a size you won't notice in your pocket. (I always suspend it from a belt loop; pockets last longer and cartwheels are worry-free!) All of the frontside tools are marginally smaller, their springs are marginally weaker, but their utility is undiminished. The backside tools are identical. You'd think it would be lighter to carry but the difference is 1/2 the weight of a single key. It's a compact configuration of a daily essential.

That's Tinker-belle compared to Tinker. If you want Tinker compared to other tool sets, I wrote a review there as well.

Oh, and the toothpick? They're better now but when tweezers were all metal they fit snugly and offered little purchase for extraction. Toothpicks were provided, I'm convinced, as a convenient tool for prying out tweezers and cleaning lint out of the bolsters.

Victorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Fireman Lockblade

It only took about 4-5 days to start working the blade into smooth one-handed use. As usual with Victorinox, the blades are sharp and the fit it tight so no complaints there. As everyone is saying, it's a little big for your pants pocket, but I keep mine in the inside chest pocket of my coat without a problem. Lastly, given the size of this knife, the lanyard ring is basically useless unless you have the key to a city.

Final note: Although not shown in the picture above, this model does include a wood saw

Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Multi-Tool

I have been using my Explorer since 1982 or so and could not get through the day without it. I always lose the toothpick and tweezers, and extra replacement springs for the scissors are useful as they can eventually break--say every five years or so. Sent it in to the repair center about fifteen years ago for handle replacements and general tightening up. The main blade is getting a bit wiggly but it is just as functional today as it was when I bought it around 27 years ago.

As noted--everything you need, nothing you don't.

Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet Pocket Knife (Silver Alox, Ribbed)

My old "Tinker" model Swiss Army knife has been my old standby for years, perfect for cabinet access and other quickie jobs at work. I just hated to leave home without it.

I liked the Tinker because it had a Philips screwdriver. But in all honesty, I would often use one of the slotted screwdrivers on it to turn phillips head screws. And how useful, really, is that toothpick? Or the tweezers? And the Tinker was thinner than many Swiss Army knives, but it would still leave a big lump in my pocket. And with all that it had on it, there was nothing on it to clean my fingernails when they got dirty. Oh how I wished for that at times!

Enter the Swiss Army Cadet. It's so thin I almost forget it's in my pocket. (Other than that, it's the same size as the Tinker and many other Swiss Army models.)

It has both slotted screwdrivers with can and bottle openers from the Tinker. And the big cutting blade. And a nail file. It's perfect. Anybody want to buy a Tinker?

Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsman Pocket Knife

Victorinox Swiss Army Hercules Pocket Knife (Red)

I have owned the Victorinox Hercules for several years (5?) and still reach for it pretty often. This is definitely a larger, full-sized version of the SAK. I owned several Tinkers and Deluxe Tinkers prior to this one and loved them all. I moved up to the Hercules after loosing my Deluxe Tinker. My reason for buying over another DT was the perfect selection of tools for my regular adventures (hunting, fishing, camping, etc) plus the added benefit of a locking blade.

I'd agree with some of the other reviews that this is definitely not an everyday knife (for most anyway) since it is considerably larger than regular SAK's. I nearly always carry it in a belt pouch which doesn't bother me.

The only shortcomings, if any, are the lack of a small blade and, when compared to a Leatherman for instance, a relatively small pliers. Since I primarily use the Hercules on treking adventures I don't mind this, but it does often prevent me from choosing it over a mult-tool when working closer to home.

In short, this is the premier SAK for outdoor adventures in my opinion. Well built, great tool selection, locking blade, and not overloaded with heavy options I don't need. Oh yeah, it looks pretty cool too. Buy it and enjoy.
