In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

The best of the pocket-knives
I got this Victorinox for my husband, and he loved it. He is a big fan and has many, he says that "they last forever and you never get tired of having a new one". This model has a "medium-load" of accessories so it can be a bit bulky; I guess that is the only comment if you are always going around with one in your pocket.

Great survival tool
I bought my explorer in 1972. Since then, it has:
Fixed scores of electronics
Cut virtually anything that needed cutting
Opened myriad bottles of wine and beer
Opened far too many C-rations
Screwed and unscrewed thousands of mechanical and wood screws
And even started fires
It is possibly the best purchase I have ever made

first knife
Well I just ordered two of these for my 11 year old twins. It will be their first father to son pocket knives. It's kind of a ritual of passage for a father to give a son a knife. Kind of saying you can be responsible now. Of course in the days of post 911 hysteria it is harder for a kid to enjoy it. Now they show up at school with it and homeland security gets called. When I was young a teacher would ask to borrow my pocket knife.
I got these for the twins after replacing my Super Tinker I had lost with a Champ Plus. That seemed a little bulky for them so got this model. The magnifying glass should be good for young explorers. The pouch should protect these more for the boys. I wish I had one for my Champ Plus. Rating:

Good knife but lousy pouch
The free pouch is too lousy.Doesn't fit perfectly to the knife and not so durable.The sides of the pouch are just made of elastic
(Plus 7 Usd more you have to pay for this pouch is definitely not worth it,it is not really as FREE as said.)
I strongly recommend you to get only the knife and find other proper pouch.
Hope this help.
The track-package funtion didn't work well,so it was hard to track my order. Rating:

Nice knife, bad pocuh
I have had a Swiss Army knife for a very long time, I lost it unfortunately and bought this new one. I am enjoying it as I did with the first one I had, the quality of the steel and the tools is unsurpassable.
Anyway, the pouch that comes with this offer does very little in terms of quality. For the future buyers I suggest getting another pouch separately. |
