Product Description
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. About Victorinox
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.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer is a handy dandy combination of tools.
It is just enough for most needs without being cumbersome.
I own the awesome Victorinox SwissTool RS and prefer that for my use.
However, it is bigger and not for those who need a more scaled down knife.
Based on size, I purchased two of the Swiss Army Explorers to give as Christmas gifts.
It comes with a key ring and, although smaller, it has plenty to work with.
It has 16 tools: 1. Large Knife Blade, 2. Small Knife Blade, 3. Can Opener, 4. Bottle Opener
5. Small Screwdriver, 6. Large Screwdriver, 7. Phillips Screwdriver, 8. Wire Stripper, 9. Reamer, 10. Punch,
11. Magnifying Glass, 12. Tweezers, 13. Corkscrew, 14. Scissors, 15. Hook, and 16. Toothpick.
The Explorer was the right choice for the ones receiving them and getting the free pouch makes it even better.
The combination offered by Amazon makes for a good purchase at a reasonable price. ~ The Boss
UPDATE: December 26, 2006
The Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Sets were much appreciated as Christmas gifts by our son and son-in-law.

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
WooHooo My first Swiss Army tool, too good! September 20, 2007

This is my first too, the explorer is something one must have if u are a swiss knife fan. It had all the wanted features and the leather pouch that came was an asset as I now can store it easily and the kids also do not know what it is.
The oil was spilling when I first opened all the tools, but now it seems to work well. Grab one while amazon has these in stock.

I have had a Swiss Army knife for a very long time, I lost it unfortunately and bought this new one. I am enjoying it as I did with the first one I had, the quality of the steel and the tools is unsurpassable.
Anyway, the pouch that comes with this offer does very little in terms of quality. For the future buyers I suggest getting another pouch separately.

This model has been my favorite Swiss Army Knife for over 30 years. I have purchased three of them during that time. It contains almost every miniature tool one could want for making adjustments or repairs in a pinch, except a saw, which is why I rate it a 4 instead of 5. I've used it virtually every day for one thing or another, and it has held up extremely well. The most recent purchase was a gift for my son, who at 20 is younger than the second of these knives I purchased in 1982. I lost the original knife in 1982 after using it for six years. Replacement parts such as toothpick, tweezers and scissor spring are easy to obtain, though the average time between replacement has been about ten years for each. The price on Amazon is the lowest by far, even cheaper than the first one purchased 30 years ago, but the quality is the same.
