Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Soldier knife/multi-tool with LED Flashlight set. The useful, 7-function multi-tool knife is the official standard knife issued to the Swiss Army. The Swiss Army regards the Victorinox multi-tool as part of a soldier’s personal survival kit. This pocket knife contains 7 stainless-steel tools that will be there when you need them, but not burden you with its size when you don't. The standard tools include a large blade, can opener, small screwdriver, bottle opener with large locking screwdriver, wire stripper and reamer.
The Soldier comes partnered with the silver alox Victorinox LED AAA flashlight. This flashlight delivers the powerful, white LED beams that are up to 10 times more efficient at converting energy into light than regular incandescent lamp while still using conventional batteries. Single-point, diamond-turned optic reflectors enhance the LED lamps, which are protectively recessed in a patented stainless steel head with a high-impact polycarbonate window. The twist on/off mechanism and power control circuitry result in extended battery life and increased lumens.
As with all Victorinox items, the Soldier knife is made to exacting standards of construction in Ibach, Switzerland at the same factory that has made Swiss Army knives for the last century. Victorinox focuses on 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.

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.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Soldier with AAA LED (Sports)
I already knew what the knife was going to be like since I already own two other Swiss Army knives, but the LED flashlight surprised me. The flashlight is finely made, fits in a pocket or purse easily, and produces a great, bright white light.
My wife grabbed it away from me as soon as I showed her how it worked. Both are top quality, Swiss manufactured items with a life time warranty. This was really a good deal from Amazon.

My all time fav Swiss Army Knife,

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Soldier with AAA LED (Sports)
I've carried Swiss Army Knives, off and on, since I was in the U.S. Army in the early 70's. The knives are well made and the blade alloy is easy to sharpen. I work the tools for a living and never has a Swiss Army knife broken on me. In recent years, I've been trying new & different knives with high performance alloys including 440C, ATS-34, ATS-55, and D2, CPM T420V, as well as damascus blades with good results. While these blade alloys are top notch, the Swiss Army Knives continues to be the best value for every day carries. Of the many varieties of S.A.K.s, the Army Soldier is the one I like the best. It strikes a balance between functionality, size and weight. I prefer the aluminum handle to the red plastic.

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Soldier with AAA LED (Sports)
I've been wanting to get my first Swiss Army Knife for the past few months and just couldn't find a perfect minimalist pocket knife so I gave this a try. For the money and Amazon's pricing, you're getting a bargain and a high quality product. Fit and finish is absolutely excellent. A quick slash through paper and it went thru it like nothing so it's pretty sharp. Also there's no play(wobbling) on all the implements. And it snaps open and close with a nice forceful click to it...
As for the specs since they don't give that much info here or on victorinox's website. The knife closed is actually a little longer than 3.5", it's 3 5/8" if that matters much. The blade is 2.75" for those who need to compare with their local and state knife restrictions. Since the 4 implements protrude from one side a little bit, the actual width of the knife is 7/8" at its widest part when closed, but a little less than 3/4" wide when you're measuring the width of the alox scales(aluminum handles). The thickness of the vic soldier is a few hair's thick over 3/8". I don't have a small weighing scale but it's just about the same weight as a seiko diver's watch... The one I got with the flashlight in the blister pack was an '06 model since some of you might wonder. 4 stars only because it's '06 stock and not enough info on the specs from Amazon or Victorinox. update: Price from Amazon almost doubled so I can't say the price is still a steal from the $14 to $15 a week ago. I don't use this knife as an "every day carry" so it's been relegated to kitchen cutting, not really a replacement for the 8" chef's knife but as a sub for the other short ones. It does have can/bottle openers also, so why not let it be of service in the kitchen? Well it does its job as good as the thin bladed kitchen knives but on the otherhand, I'm kinda mad at myself for treating it as one thru the dishwasher...All was fine, except now the three rivets and aluminum liner between the 2 layers of implements show discoloration like a slight yellowish color, not quite sure if it's rust :( But other than that, still clicks open/close nice,smooth, and with that good strong force.
