Amazon.com Review
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this complete set of tools for campers, hikers, hunters, fishers, and other outdoor lovers--all neatly contained inside a single implement that measures just 3-1/2 inches long. Sheathed in the famous Swiss Army red plastic, the Huntsman pocket knife is a toolbox small enough to fit into a pocket. (It also comes with a key ring.) A valued companion, this pocket knife contains 14 stainless-steel tools and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. The tools include a large knife blade, small knife blade, can opener, small screwdriver, bottle opener, large screwdriver, reamer, sewing eye, plastic toothpick, tweezers, corkscrew, scissors, hook, and wood saw. --Fred Brack
Amazon.com Product Description
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife more than a century ago comes the Huntsman, a complete set of tools for hunters, boy scouts, campers, and just about all other outdoor enthusiasts. Measuring just 3-1/2 inches long, the Huntsman is stylishly cased in the familiar red housing and is embossed with a Victorinox logo. More importantly, the Huntsman contains 14 stainless-steel tools appropriate for just about any occasion, including a large blade, a small blade, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a bottle opener with a large screwdriver and a wire stripper, and a wood saw. And that's just the beginning, as the multitool also includes a reamer with a sewing eye, a small set of scissors, a corkscrew, a hook, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. In short, it's a terrific accessory for outdoorsmen who don't have the room to bring along a bunch of separate tools. As with all Victorinox items, the Huntsman is made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a plastic housing, the Huntsman carries a lifetime warranty. About Swiss Army Knives
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 original product 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 for versatility.

 Extraordinary. January 27, 2005

This is extraordinary. The pocket knife yes, but also the fact that I am writing a review in praise of it. I'm a thought guy not a thing guy; I review books, typically philosophical ones. But this is a thing fit for a philosopher if ever there was one.
Circumstances have conspired to make me spend some time contemplating my Swiss Army Knife. I recently lost mine. It was a dark day. I've had this knife in my pocket for something like 25 years and use it daily. Yes, a person might get along fine without this knife, but why would they? Here's a quick, although partial, inventory: The saw comes in handy for landscaping and plumbing work (cuts PVC and ABS pipe better than a hack saw does) and for gardening (pruning limbs up to 1.75 inch diameter or more). Two knives, two screw drivers, an awl/punch/drill, a can opener, bottle opener, even a toothpick. The scissors are excellent for personal grooming (trimming finger nails and nose hairs). The steel is highest quality and holds sharp edges for years, even under constant use.
There's simply nothing like it: compact, intensely functional, inexpensive, dependable high quality. It'll be your inanimate buddy; you'll use it at home, at work, in the glorious wilderness, should you be fortunate enough to find yourself there. If you want to endear yourself to some philosopher (or perhaps even an ignorant numbskull), or maybe a guy with a nose hair problem, here's the perfect gift.
Other people probably make a 'similar' product but don't waste your money on a knock-off, wannabe or Johnny-come-lately; this knife is a legend for every good reason. The only potential drawback cannot be blamed on the knife itself -- if you've forgotten it's in your pocket you will have it rudely confiscated before you can board a commercial airliner, this we must blame on a world sadly deficient in good philosophy.
It's a beautiful thing. I found mine a few days after I lost it. My nails are clipped and life is good.
Best of the large Swiss Army knives January 24, 2003

This knife is my favorite of all the Victorinox army knives. It has the most useful tools, basic blades, the corkscrew, the sizzors, the awl (with hole for sewing). You can get the little eye glass screw driver and stow it in the corkscrew. The other larger knives IMO are too bulky and have tools which really aren't up to any major hard work. Pruning knives for trees, fish scalers, magnifiing glasses etc. for instance. So if you are going swiss army this is the best of the bunch. Price/size/utility, its a good deal.
takes a beating and just keeps on going June 21, 2005

This model Swiss Army knife is perhapes the most versital. Just the right number of tools in a fairly compact package. My father has carried one for more than 30 years and it just now starting to show signs of wear. He's carried it from job site to camp site and everywhere inbetween. Dishing out all the use and abuse it'll take along the way. That lifetime of use, without brakeage or malfuntion is the chief reason why I carry one now. If your looking to buy a Swiss Army knife for yourself or as a gift, this is the one, hands down.
Wonderful Knife! October 30, 2001

This is my favorite swiss army knife because it has everything you need without the weight. Its perfect to keep in your pocket or put in the glove box of your car. The only negative thing I can say about this knife is that there are no locking blades. Besides that, its a perfect buy. Nothing will rust, and the metal used is very high stainless quality. You cant wash swiss army knives in the dishwasher anymore because they dont use the same glue to bind the plastic to the metal, if you do the plastic will pop off. I suggest running the knife under cold water. Compared to any leatherman knife this is a better buy. I own the wave, and honestly this is a higher quality knife, theres no way it will fall apart!
Best quality, most useful, little knife in the world November 3, 2002

_I've had this model of the Victorinox Swiss Army knife for over 30 years now. With a little occassional whetting and oiling it is as fine as the day I got it. It has everything you will ever really need, in a package so small that you'll forget that you even have it in your pocket.
_The two knife blades are first quality and take an edge so sharp that you could operate with them. The saw blade never seems to need sharpening and will rip through a surprisingly large branch. My can opener still opens cans smoothly with no maintainance- and it has opened hundreds. The cork screw is the only one I've ever owned- or needed. The tweezers have removed more splinters than I care to count. The leather punch is my first choice for adjusting a belt or pack strap. And I've adjusted any number of mechanisms in the field using the screw driver blades- and that little nylon tooth pick.
_My only question is this: what the heck are the little bitty scissors for?
