Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Explorer, Multitool, 16 Functions, Red

I have had the Swiss Champ for decades but to be honest it is too big and heavy to put in your trouser pocket or hang on a belt. This little beauty has all of the tools I use the most but is smaller (narrower)and lighter and as such won't start pulling your trousers down as a result. I now believe this to be the best knife not only in the Swiss Army range but of any comparable manufacturer.Take it on a picnic and the small and large knives are perfect for peeling and slicing and you can open a bottle of plonk or a bottle of beer thanks to the corkscrew and cap lifter. For on the spot maintenance jobs there is a large and a small flat-head screwdriver together with a cross-head one too - these will cover most situations and I've used them for situations above what they were probably designed for and they are still perfect. I can't tell you how many times those scissors have come in handy, and the reamer is always being used as a bradle. Admittedly I don't recall using the hook though. In the recess for the corkscrew you will find a tiny hole for adding a pin - together with the supplied tweezers and magnifying glass you'll be able to remove all splinters. Don't forget to buy the tiny screwdriver that inserts into the corkscrew (about £3.00) and then together with the magnifying glass you can make on the spot repairs to your glasses. Really what more do you need?My Swiss champ has proved far more durable than my Leatherman so I expect the Explorer to fair the same, indeed I found a Swiss army knife on a beach once, it was smashed and completely jammed with stones and grit - I freed it up and the blades were still sharp and not a hint of rust was evident, if only other makes were as durable! Buy one and you will be using it more than you would have imagined - this is one purchase you won't regret.

Its a swiss army knife, the philips head is quite brilliant. You get what you pay for, a knife, if looked after will last a lifetime and more... john

These are excellent. good quality, good steel, useful functions.Counts as a multi tool not a knife in Britain but you can't take it as hand luggage on a plane, put it in the hold.Extremely useful for way too many things to list here. Don't leave home without one.

This was purchased to replace one I’d had for 30+ years which was stolen during a vehicle theft. It’s just as well-made as you’d expect from Victorinox, and the blades easily pass the paper shaving sharpness test. Looks good, feels strong. What’s not to like, it’s a Swiss Army knife!

Its a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, what more do I need to say? Excellent quality, robust and will last a lifetime (as would my other one had had it not been lost)

I have a dozen various Victorinox knives from the tiny classic to the bulky work champ ,they are always top quality and i would never want to be without one in my pocket ,i chose this explorer model simply because it had all the tools i use the most without all the bulk and weight of the more comprehensive models ,the scissors are indespensible and i like to have a good crosshead screwdriver on there which is excellent ,sometimes this is in place of the corkscrew but i like to drink wine so this has the advantage of the corkscrew being in the usuall place on the back and the screwdriver being located on the same side as the main tools and blade ,this means you can have the crosshead and flathead screwdrivers folded out at opposite ends at same time and use them in that way ,very handy when fixing or taking things appart with different screw types ,magnifier is a handy thing too at my age.Everything you will ever need in S.A.K without the bulk in your pocket ,invest in the opional small screwdriver that fits in the corkscrew and there is a hole to locate a pin behind the corkscrew too .I wish the main blade was lockable but that would make it illegal to carry in the U.K. my advice would be get a seperate locking knife for the heavier jobs like cutting wood etc the Victorinox Forester is my choice for this job which also comes with a locking flat blade screwdriver and long saw blade but keep it in your pack or loose it. The Explorer is my new best friend ,keep them clean and don't abuse them they will last a lifetime how many things can you say that about ? This was the best price too and was delivered super fast.

This is one of the Victorinox models I consider to be optimal for urban use. It has two knives for everyday cutting purposes that one might need to do. The scissors are really good too for everyday urban use.Other functions such as a dedicated screwdriver might come handy from time to time. The bottle and wine opener can be good if you like to drink. The can opener might come in handy, but I think it's more for people that like to do some camping. Never used the reamer and hook, but I do use the magnifier as well from time to time.This is a very good model for urban use, it can be a little bulky if your work requires you to dress in suits. In that case I think the Climber or other Alox models, such as Alox Cadet or Pioneer might be better for you. There are also the classic range in both regular and Alox finishes, but I think they are too small to be useful :)

Excellent and pleased to sign for

Il modello Explorer di Victorinox racchiude tutta una serie di funzionalità in grado di coprire la maggior parte delle esigenze quotidiane in cui ci si può venire a trovare.Tra le migliori, oltre alle fantastiche lame, mi sento di citare la lente, le efficacissime forbici, l'utilissimo cacciavite philips ed il versatile gancio.Non è certamente il modello più leggero o compatto, pertanto, se la vostra esigenza è quella di ridurree peso e dimensioni, allora potreste orientarvi verso il completissimo Compact o altri modelli in base all'utilizzo che vi siete prefissati.Victorinox rimane oggi l'iconico produttore di SAK ed i suoi prodotti brillano per qualità e durata.Unico neo la confezione in blister che, per un prodotto di questa qualità, è una caduta di stile.Il prezzo può sembrare alto, tuttavia, l'Explorer, a mio avviso, da quando lo possiedo ha saputo ripagarsi.

Schönes funktionelles Messer. Schnelle Lieferung. Top

Typisches Victorinox. Die Lupe ist aus Kunststoff, erfüllt aber durchaus ihren Zweck. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Position des Kreuz-/Phillipsschraubendrehers.Gewohnte Qualität, wie immer!

Fidèle à la tradition suisse, ce produit légendaire, remplit toujours sa mission de manière impeccable.

Qualité victorinox ! Grande paire de ciseaux très efficaceTournevis cruciforme placé dans le même sens que les lames, meilleur prise en main, à mon avis, que lorsqu'il est positionné à la place dutir-bouchonLoupe tout à fait utilisable.Une remarque concernant la livraison: scandaleuse, une fois de plus. Colis balancé au milieu du jardin du voisin, et resté sous la pluie.
