Product Description

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in genius design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of first class stainless steel, are guaranteed a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. Remember, if it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect pocket knife, November 27, 2005

I have owned several Victorinox pocket knives over the years. The Exployer is my favorite. In fact I think I currently have my third Exployer (they are always getting lost!) I have never had one fail in anyway. They come razor shop from the factory and are so versatile that I use mine everyday. My favorite features are the phillips screwdriver, the corkscrew (go figure) and the magnifying glass. Yes the magnifying glass is indespensible and you don't know that because you don't normally carry one in your pocket. They are far superior in quality to the Leatherman products ( of which I own two, basically for the pliers which are well made and useful.) The quality of the stainless steel and finish are far superior in the Victorinox. In fact few custom knives have the Victorinox versatility and finish.

It is the first thing I put in my pocket in the morning and I will turnaround and come back to get it if I forget!

For me, this pocket knife has everything. I take it everywere. I needed a philips screwdriver, scissors, and a cork screw (the three tools I use most) and this knife had them all and much much more. Just add a projectile grappling hook and it could completely replace Batman's utility belt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacing My Explorer After 20 Years of Use, October 2, 2006

I am replacing the one I had to give up at Lahore Airport recently because I forgot to pack it in my check-in luggage. The knife had to be given up most reluctantly after I had used it for 20 years. It never left my pocket no matter what! I have to admit that the blades were getting dull after my work buddies would borrow it and used it to cut outside plant phone cable, and wire stripping etc. I stopped loaning it after I saw the abuse. I truely think this Victorinox Explorer is a work of art in form, fit and function. The magnifying lens has been indespensible, as has been the tweezers that I have used incountable times to pull wood chip or iron filing stuck in my finger or hand. In my view, future bionic tinkerer engineer would be born with one!
