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 Best of the multi-tools, August 2, 2008

I am a multi-tool fanatic - from Gerber to Leatherman, and everything in between. I used to work in a shop specialising in multi-tools and self defence blades and I have seen and tried them all. I've bought six and kept two.
The two I kept was the Leatherman Wave and this one. But why is the Victorinox better than Leatherman's best?

*Better design - hard to describe, but it is a lot easier to use
*Better quality - I'm already on my second Wave. They rust, the pliers and screwdrivers lose their shape and free play develops on the pliers
*Better size - the Leatherman is just too small (I have size 12 hands)
*Better accesories - the Swisstool comes with a nifty socket set which is incredibly user friendly. The Leatherman's has to be purchased seperately, is quite expensive, has to be carried in a seperate pouch and is embarrasingly clumsy
*More practical - bigger everything, better layout, more accessible, better selection of tools
*Safer - I've cut myself on more than one occasion while using the Leatherman's pliers, because it has sharp edges on the outside. One can use the Victorinox with confidence
*The Swisstool has a much bigger and stronger blade than the Leatherman, which is important, because you are probably going to end up using the blade more than anything else
*Sturdier pliers. The pliers on the Victorinox are really strong - I have yet to discover the limits of the Swisstool. The Leaterman is a lot flimsier.
*Better tactile quality - another hard-to-describe factor, but the Swisstool simply feels a lot better in one's hands
*Lifelong guarantee on the Swisstool. You can't beat that. Especially since you'll probably never need it anyway.

BUT: The Swisstool is much bigger and heavier than the Wave. So, if you wear a suit and an office job, the Wave might be better for you after all.

But I'm from Africa, living in the Middle East, and if I'm flying over or driving through the desert, and I may choose only one multi-tool to take with me, it would be the Victorinox, without a doubt.

What a great multi-tool! I looked at Leatherman, and Gerber, and finally decided to get this one after reading some great reviews on the SwissTool RS. The only difference between this one, the SwissTool RS, and the SwissTool X are a couple of tools are interchanged. THis link goes to the user-manuel, which explains which tools have which tools. http://www.swissarmy.com/CustomerService/Documents/UserManuals/swisstoolmanual.pdf . This is a very heavy product (10 Oz). I really like that about this multi-tool. I am a big guy (6'4"), and I liked that this product felt like you could really work with it and not worry about breaking it. The craftsmanship in this tool is completely evident. You have to hold it to really understand it. The case is also finely crafted. The steel came very very sharp also.

Victorinox took pride in creating this tool. You can tell.

The Rachet is what it is. Sometimes its hard to get the bits out of it, but besides that it works great too.

I was sick and tired of fumbling through my toolbox whenever I need to do any work around the house, and this multi-tool is a godsend. It has all the basic tools all neatly packed into one compact unit.

Quality-wise, you cannot beat the swisstool. The construction is nothing short of excellent. Each tool folds out and snap into place very nicely. It is very easy to work with.

I put this tool in a convenient place in the house and reach for it whenever I need any tools. The tools I use most are the blade and the screwdrivers. The plyer is also very well made and handy. I cannot really find any faults with it.

My only complain about this tool is the lack of a pair of scissors. However, this is not a fault of the tool. It is my fault for not making sure that I buy the correct version. Apparently, the Swisstool X and the Swisstool CS have a pair of scissors attached. To get around that, I fit a small Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife in the pouch and pull it out when I need a pair of scissors.
