From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Swiss Army Rambler pocketknife, a compact set of tools for campers, hikers, boy scouts, and just about everyone else. Measuring 2-1/4 inches long, this version of the Rambler is stylishly cased in a red housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit contains all the classic Swiss Army tools, including a small blade, scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a bottle opener with a magnetic Philips screwdriver tip and a wire stripper, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. As with all Victorinox items, the Rambler is made to exacting standards, with dozens 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. The Rambler 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pocket knife, November 11, 2006

The problem with most pocket knives is that they really aren't that pocket friendly. Even when I have all sorts of pocket competition, ipod, cell phone, car keys with fob, LED flashlight and maybe a bluetooth headset too, I still have room for the Rambler. It is is just like a Classic except it opens beer bottles and has a Phillips screwdriver. Really it is the perfect pocketknife. I have many knives from Leatherman micras to huge multi-tools to Spyderco liner-locks but I keep coming back to the Rambler as the most practical daily carry knife around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love this knife., July 21, 2004

I own and have owned several Victorinox Swiss Army Knives and this one is far and away my favorite. It's a good size for keeping in a pocket or attaching to a key chain. I find the minichamps to be a little too big in that regard and I kept my Delux Tinkerer in my jeans pocket so regularly that it wore a hole in the demin on several pairs of my jeans. This knife also has the tools I tend to use most often. The scissors come in more handy than the blade, and can be used for personal grooming as well as cutting pesky loose threads from clothing. The phillips screwdriver is very handy for taking apart small electronic devices and similar items. The bottlecap opener, built into the phillips, is also handy in a pinch. It also has a flathead screwdriver on the nail file, which is pretty useful. I'd definitely recomend this knife. Be careful, though, because it is unobtrusive in the pocket you must take pains to remember to check it when you fly or you'll end up making the same mistake I've made several times by donating it to airport security. In general, the victorinox line of knives are excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade from the classic, November 6, 2006

This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knife (Sports)

I have owned several of these, since I have lost several when forgetting to move it to my checked luggage when flying. The Rambler is a great upgrade from the normal Classic version, but adds the very useful phillips screwdriver and bottle opener, but is the same length of the Classic and only slightly thicker so it still fits well in a pocket or on a key ring for every day use. I have gotten great use out of the addition of the phillips screwdriver, from a constantly loosening screw on my sunglasses, to various computer repairs at work. I have found it to be a great upgrade to the classic with an almost imperceptable growth in size. I definitely recomend the Rambler over the Classic.
