Victorinox Handyman Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, 24 Functions, Large Blade, Metal Saw

I got the 'Handyman' model, so this review is for that.It's Red in colour.It was bought as a Christmas gift for my friend🎄He attached it to his keys.How can anyone not want one of these?A wonderful design, they're excellent quality knives, and made from very good steel.I have a smaller model myself, this model features lots of tools including two very sharp blades, a screwdriver, scissors, and even pliers!A very useful knife that can last for many years.

Bought as a gift and the recipient was very pleased with it.

I have always wanted a Swiss army knife!This is my first one and I love it!The quality and finish is amazing!A brilliant well made choice for my first Swiss Army Knife! It has all the things I want and none of the things I don't want. The quality is amazing and its reassuring weight only adds to this. It is one of the thicker Victorinox models, but is still comfortable to hold, which is helped by my large hands. I was originally going to go for the Camper for whittling and camping use, as it has blades and a wood saw, but I decided I wanted the file as well for use on woods and plastics. I heard that Victorinox scissors are amazing so I decided that is something I also wanted (I have tested these and they are amazing). I also thought the small pliers would be a good addition to be use as needle nose pliers on smaller tasks.I am very happy with the decision I made!I would recommend this particular model for someone who wants to have a lots of feature for tinkering in a package that is not overwhelmingly large or uncomfortable.

Very good

A great camping tool, well made

Simply superb.

The first time I've ever owned a Swiss army knife, although I've long considered buying one.I primarily bought this one for the bottle opener! I often find myself in some self-service cafe where they insist on opening your bottle of water or coke at the till. Then they expect you to balance the bottle upright on your tray until you find a seat. Far easier, I thought, to find a seat first and then open the bottle with my new Swiss army knife.I've taken the liberty of copying the list of features from the full product description. It is a pity there is no such list with the knife, as it would have been useful for someone like me who was never a boy scout.List copied as follows: Large & Small Blade - Corkscrew - Cap Opener with Small Screwdriver - Bottle Opener with large Screwdriver and Wire Stripper - Chisel - Reamer - Punch and Sewing Eye - Nail File with Metal File - Key Ring - Nail Cleaner - Tweezers - Metal Saw- Toothpick - Fine Screwdriver - Scissors - Pliers with Wire Cutter - Multipurpose Hook - Wood Saw.With the knife are instructions on how to free up stuck blades, and how to use the can opener. Also the locations of the cap lifter, screwdriver, wire-bender and wire -stripper are given. Finally there is a little reminder not to overlook the tweezers and toothpick which pull out quite neatly from the keyring end of the knife.Having looked at the range of Victorinox Army knives on Amazon I would say this is probably one of the best on offer without paying silly money. You could pay another tenner for the Army Knife Champ which would be useful for anglers, for example. But this one here is fine for me. Otherwise there are a few that are cheaper but most others I've seen are a lot dearer.The one slight disappointment is that with the scissors and pliers attachments there are thin metal tensioners that seem to break very easily. It hasn't made much difference to the pliers, but the scissors have gone a bit floppy. But for that I'd have given this 5 stars.The Victorinox Leather Pouch - 5-8 Layer, Black, is an excellent accessory to buy and it fits this knife like a glove.

After providing me with many years of service my last Swiss Army Knife was "stolen" by security at the airport after I forgot it was in my bag. "You could take the aircraft apart with that thing" the officer said as it got thrown in to the bin. He was probably right and that's the great thing about Swiss arm knives - they are not just knives, they are incredibly versatile tools. I was heart broken for a bit then forgot about it. I went without for a few years despite on many occasions thinking "I wish I had a Swiss army knife with me" until recently when out in the woods with my young son and we were trying to make a "den" with our bare hands. I finally decided to get around to replacing my old one with this shiny new handyman.Its brilliant - lots of useful tools, not too big, not too small and rock solid reliability. You really can't go wrong with a Swiss Army Knife. I think this one will be by my side for many years to come.
