From the Editors
The company that created the renowned Swiss Army knife in 1897 offers this 15-tool pocket knife toolbox for campers, hikers, hunters, fishers, and other outdoor lovers--plus a leather belt pouch at no additional charge. All tools neatly fold up inside a single implement sheathed in durable plastic that measures just 3-1/2 inches long and has a key ring on the end. Tools are all stainless-steel, except for a plastic toothpick. In addition to the toothpick, the tools comprise a large knife blade, small knife blade, can opener, bottle opener, small screwdriver, large screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, magnifying glass, tweezers, corkscrew, scissors, and hook. The Explorer carries a lifetime warranty against defects. <p> <strong>About Victorinox</strong><br> 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.<p>

Customer Response
Best combo for everyday use
This knife is a replacement for one (same model) that was recently stolen. The combo of tools found on this model has proven to be the most useful during travel, while camping, and just around the house and office. I have used it to fix bicycles, remove splinters, snip loose threads on a suit before a major presentation, repair luggage, clean a fish for dinner, tighten loose screws on a microphone, open a celebratory bottle of wine and much, much more.
Virtually every tool has come in handy at one time or another. Love the size, reliability and function of this knife.
If you are looking for a working knife that has the kind of tools needed for the typical kind of stuff we all encounter on a day to day basis, this is the model!
SWISS ARMY KNIFE
I think that the knife looks very nice, and was as I expected from the photo on your site. The case is a nice added feature.
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.
