Victorinox Swiss Army Multi-Tool, Fieldmaster Pocket Knife

I have several Swiss Army knives that I have purchased and used. There are plenty of reviews out there that go over the advantages and disadvantages of various Swiss Army knives (SAK), so I decided to focus my review on some of the things I like (or don't like) about the various models in case anyone else is having trouble deciding which one to buy. Before purchasing any of the versions, I conducted extensive research and, of course, personally tested each one. So, I thought I'd share my thoughts on what I like and don't like about SAKs. br>br>Of course, when deciding which SAK to buy, there are fundamental decisions to be made about the size and functionality of the SAK. Obviously, this is a matter of personal taste. So, rather than listing the features of each type of SAK, I'll discuss why I like (or don't like) specific knives and compare their features based on my preferences. I believe I am fairly "typical," but if you have different tastes, your opinions will not necessarily coincide with mine. br>br>I've broken down my review into four categories: "small," "medium," "medium plus," and "large" SAKs. br>br>Small SAK (Swiss Army Knife): a small SAK (Swiss Army Knife) is a small SAK (Swiss Army Knife) that is used br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Ramble The Swiss Army Rambler is truly remarkable in that it provides me with the items I use the most in a SAK that is so small that it practically disappears in my pocket. By adding this SAK, there is no discernible difference in overall weight or feel in terms of "how much stuff I have in my pocket. " It contains scissors and blades, which are by far my most frequently used items, as well as a screwdriver, tweezers, and toothpick, all of which I use frequently. The bottle opener isn't something I use very often, but it's a useful staple to have.

So, basically this knife gives me 90% of what I really use in a package so small I barely notice I carry it in a package so That's a very difficult feat to achieve. This would probably be the knife I used every day if I wasn't greedy about wanting things on my EDC SAK (Swiss Army Knife). As it stands, I mostly use this one when I'm wearing dress pants or other items that require more room than usual, and one of the larger ones when I'm wearing jeans (for example). br>br>Victorinox Jetsetter 3 Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Jetsetter 3 Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Jetsetter 3 Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Jetsetter 3 Pocket I bought this because it's a small knife that can theoretically get you through TSA at the airport, and I figured having a pair of scissors and a screwdriver with me on trips would be useful. The problem is, after reading reviews, I've never had the motivation to try to get it through TSA security. While most people appear to be able to do it well, other people's reviews indicate that it "draws attention" more than I'd like. As a result, I've simply never bothered. br>br>As a result, I'm not sure I can give this version a fair review. It appears to work if you want to take scissors on a plane. When it came down to it, I simply didn't have the energy to put that theory to the test. br>br>Small SAKs: br>br>Small SAKs: br>br>Medium br>br>I also have a soft spot for all of the knives in my "medium" category. Which one is best for you is a question of what features you want and whether an extra feature is worth the (usually minor) weight gain. These are the three that I like the most. br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army Super Tinker Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Super Tinker Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Super Tinker Pocket Knifebr>Victorinox Swiss Army Super Tin For me, the version is an excellent choice. This has all of the essential items I use on a daily basis, as well as some that I use less frequently, in a size that fits in my pocket without distracting me (though it doesn't "disappear" into my pocket like the smaller rambler does). It comes with large and small blades, scissors, multiple screwdrivers, tweezers, and toothpicks, among other things. So, all of the essential functions of the SAK in a very small package; I don't notice it in my pocket, but it doesn't quite "disappear" in my rambler pocket. Overall, I think the combination of functionality and size is excellent. br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster Pocket Knife (Red)br>Link: This one has the wood saw, which is my favorite feature over the Super Tinker. While I don't use the wood saw as frequently as you might think, I do use it more frequently than you might think, and it works quite well. Because of the saw, it's a little bigger than the Super Tinker, but I don't notice the difference when I'm carrying it around. Whether you prefer it to the tinker depends on how much you desire a wood saw. br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red)br>Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red)br>Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red)br>Victorinox Swiss In the "medium" size SAKs, is another fantastic option. It has a lot of the aspects of the Champ Plus that I like: The screwdrivers for eyeglasses, the pen, the pin, and the magnifying glass are all included, but it is not as bulky. The fish scaler/ruler (which I don't care about) and the wood saw (which, as I previously stated, I do like) are two key items missing from Champion Plus. While I really like this one, whether I use it instead of the Army Fieldmaster depends on whether I'm in the mood for a wood saw or a magnifying glass, eyeglass screwdriver, pen, or pin. It's also a little more substantial than the Fieldmaster. When I'm not using my champ plus, I prefer to use the magnifying glass and pen over the wood saw. Also, the screwdriver isn't the "T" screwdriver, which is a little more straightforward. I also like to carry a screwdriver for my glasses. So, if I had to choose one SAK to recommend to someone, it would most likely be this one. SAK: Medium Plus br>br>Medium Plus br>Medium Plus br>Medium Plus br>Medium Plus br>Victorinox Champion Plus Knifebr>Victorinox Champion Plus Knifebr>Victorinox Champion Plus Knifebr>Victorinox Champion Plus Kni is one that I probably lug around a little too much. I prefer it to the Champ version (which isn't mentioned in my review) because it doesn't include the pliers, which add bulk and aren't very useful to me. The pliers aren't big enough to provide enough torque. I have to get a "real" set of pliers if I want pliers. br>br>It's small enough to be used as an EDC (everyday carry) tool, but only just. It's noticeably larger than the SAKs in my medium section, which is why it's referred to as "medium plus. " When it's in my pocket, I'm aware of it, but it isn't a bother. Especially when I'm dressed in a pair of slacks. The reason I like it so much is that it has all of the cool stuff I want on my SAK and I can carry it without having to choose between the wood saw and the magnifying glass, glass screwdriver, pen, and pin I just mentioned. I get all of them with the Champion plus! Basically, there isn't a feature on my SAK that I really want that this version doesn't have. So, in order to have the "all-in-one" feel that this has, I'm willing to put up with something a little larger. At least when I'm wearing a pair of jeans or possibly a pair of dockers. One of the smaller SAKs is appropriate when I'm wearing only dress pants.

The issue is that, at least for me, this never happens in practice. I can just pull out one of my regular screwdrivers (or whatever) instead of going to a drawer to get a tool by the time I get there. As a result, this one is rarely used. But I really like the concept of it. It's fun to be the owner of something. ) If you're looking for a small, one-size-fits-all tool that won't take up too much room in your pocket, I think this is a great option. br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife by VictorinoxLink: br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife by VictorinoxLink: br>br>Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knif SAK is essentially a pliers-only version of the Champ Plus. As I previously stated, I am not a huge fan of the pliers, but if I'm just putting it in a drawer or glove compartment and not carrying it around, why not have one with the pliers? ) I have one that I keep in my car for that purpose. I can't EDC because it's too big.

- br>br>Summary: br>br> The size and features of the SAK you choose are determined by your needs. However, if you're unsure, I'd suggest the Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red) (Link: It's a fantastic mix of some of my favorite features. If you want something really small, the rambler is the way to go. If you can handle a little more room, the Champ Plus is the way to go. The Champ has everything you need if you don't plan on carrying it and instead stashing it in a glove compartment or drawer.

I was so excited to get this, and when I saw another review that said theirs had scratches on the red polish, I didn't think much of it because I was going to give it a few tries when I got mine, but when I got it, it did have scratches on the red polish, and I now wish that was all it had. There are metal slivers around the saw blade and some hooks look slightly bent even. br>br>It appears to be bad stamping or sharpening techniques on the blades and the saw in particular; there are metal slivers around the saw blade and some hooks look slightly bent even. This screams low quality, and it gives me the impression that this Swiss army knife will not last very long. I wish I had paid more for a better one or looked harder for a better quality knife. br>br>I'm not sure if these are refurbished knives or if their quality has simply declined, but either way, they're disappointing. The knife does come well oiled, which is the only positive aspect.

Victorinox is one of the best brands on the market. The Fieldmaster is a fantastic combination of the most useful tools found on a Swiss Army Knife, including a Phillips head instead of a corkscrew, two blades, scissors, can opener / small flathead, bottle opener / large flathead, tweezers, toothpick, and camp saw. (If you don't go camping often or don't need that aggressively serrated ripper, skip this. ) Instead of a saw blade, the Super Tinker model comes with a small set of pliers. )br>br>I am a huge fan of Victorinox steel. Sharpening is a breeze, and the knife is nearly rustproof, rugged, and perfect for everyday use. Since my grandfather gave me one when I was ten, I've carried one of their Swiss Army Knives. This knife was purchased for my nephew, who is also 10, and it is of the same high quality as the others I've purchased in the past. You can't compete with them. br>br>It's also worth noting that the Fieldmaster comes with the original style scissors, which are surprisingly stout and useful. The "EvoGrip" models' newer scissors aren't as well-designed as the older ones. Developed. If you want to maximize the potential and utility of these old classics, I strongly advise you to do so. br>br>I use mine on a daily basis, and it's not uncommon for me to use it multiple times per day. I feel naked when I don't have one in my pocket because it has become such a beloved Every Day Carry item.

I had lost my Tinker model in Iceland, and I had owned it for over a decade, so I needed a new SAK. I went with the frontiersman model because it had a few more features, but the quality appears to have deteriorated in recent years. It appears that the materials have changed, and the scales' quality has deteriorated. There were a few scratches on it as well. I'm not sure if this came directly from the factory or if it was a return that was simply resent. I'm keeping it, but I'm not sure I should have paid so much for it.

Swiss Army Knives are one of my favorite tools. I have two of my own. The first is for work, where it comes in handy on a regular basis, and the second is in my purse. I bought the Fieldmaster as a Christmas present for a friend who used to have a Swiss Army Knife but lost it. Needless to say, he was overjoyed to receive a replacement. br>br>I got him the Fieldmaster because it's a good basic army knife with all of the tools you'll ever need. The fifteen different tools on this knife include both large and small blades, large and small flat head screwdrivers, a Phillips screwdriver, and scissors. Of course, the best thing about Swiss Army Knives is that there are so many different variations with different tools on them that they can fit whatever need you may have. In fact, deciding which knife is right for you could be the most difficult part. However, once you've found one that works for you, go ahead and get it. "Never leave home without one," as I like to say. You never know when you'll be in a situation where you'll need it.
