Victorinox Handyman Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, 24 Functions, Large Blade, Metal Saw

I got the 'Handyman' model, so this review is for that.It's Red in colour.It was bought as a Christmas gift for my friend🎄He attached it to his keys.How can anyone not want one of these?A wonderful design, they're excellent quality knives, and made from very good steel.I have a smaller model myself, this model features lots of tools including two very sharp blades, a screwdriver, scissors, and even pliers!A very useful knife that can last for many years.

A great camping tool, well made

I have always wanted a Swiss army knife!This is my first one and I love it!The quality and finish is amazing!A brilliant well made choice for my first Swiss Army Knife! It has all the things I want and none of the things I don't want. The quality is amazing and its reassuring weight only adds to this. It is one of the thicker Victorinox models, but is still comfortable to hold, which is helped by my large hands. I was originally going to go for the Camper for whittling and camping use, as it has blades and a wood saw, but I decided I wanted the file as well for use on woods and plastics. I heard that Victorinox scissors are amazing so I decided that is something I also wanted (I have tested these and they are amazing). I also thought the small pliers would be a good addition to be use as needle nose pliers on smaller tasks.I am very happy with the decision I made!I would recommend this particular model for someone who wants to have a lots of feature for tinkering in a package that is not overwhelmingly large or uncomfortable.

I've had Victorinox knives for years, but always the smaller pocket knives. I wanted a tool with pliers as I use them almost as frequently as a screwdriver. I looked at the Leathermans and was tempted, but wasn't sure on the size, and the cost of them, so I looked at this and knew the quality would be good. Really pleased I did as this is super-useful and suprisingly is small enough to be carried in jeans pocket all day; it's heavy so you know it's there, but it isn't a problem. I've found that I use the saw and file as much as the pliers, and all three are really strong and usable. The scissors are really useful too. Personally I would like a phillips screwdriver, but I can get by with the flat heads. Overall, this is the usual Victorinox quality, and is more useful than I thought it would be; small enough to carry and with really usable tools.

Buying this Handyman was a very sad day for me. I bought my first "Swiss army knife" way back in 1974 and had it with me through thick and thin. It served me well in my army service and beyond. I used it for everything from fixing guns, opening field rations, cutting wood, string and many things that the knife was never designed for but it coped with them all. Then one tragic day this year, I lost it whilst out walking the dogs....life ended there and then. However, I got a grip of my self, picked myself up, dusted myself down and bought this Handyman. Great tool, and looks good. Has most tools for fixing everyday things around the home. Phew thank God for Victorinox...normal life has been resumed. Serious though, it is a great little pocket knife, with more than enough tools packed into the famous red case. Well worth the money and if looked after will last for years. My first one never let me down, and it was as good as the day I bought it way back in 74. I know this one will last as long and will probably out last me.....

The first time I've ever owned a Swiss army knife, although I've long considered buying one.I primarily bought this one for the bottle opener! I often find myself in some self-service cafe where they insist on opening your bottle of water or coke at the till. Then they expect you to balance the bottle upright on your tray until you find a seat. Far easier, I thought, to find a seat first and then open the bottle with my new Swiss army knife.I've taken the liberty of copying the list of features from the full product description. It is a pity there is no such list with the knife, as it would have been useful for someone like me who was never a boy scout.List copied as follows: Large & Small Blade - Corkscrew - Cap Opener with Small Screwdriver - Bottle Opener with large Screwdriver and Wire Stripper - Chisel - Reamer - Punch and Sewing Eye - Nail File with Metal File - Key Ring - Nail Cleaner - Tweezers - Metal Saw- Toothpick - Fine Screwdriver - Scissors - Pliers with Wire Cutter - Multipurpose Hook - Wood Saw.With the knife are instructions on how to free up stuck blades, and how to use the can opener. Also the locations of the cap lifter, screwdriver, wire-bender and wire -stripper are given. Finally there is a little reminder not to overlook the tweezers and toothpick which pull out quite neatly from the keyring end of the knife.Having looked at the range of Victorinox Army knives on Amazon I would say this is probably one of the best on offer without paying silly money. You could pay another tenner for the Army Knife Champ which would be useful for anglers, for example. But this one here is fine for me. Otherwise there are a few that are cheaper but most others I've seen are a lot dearer.The one slight disappointment is that with the scissors and pliers attachments there are thin metal tensioners that seem to break very easily. It hasn't made much difference to the pliers, but the scissors have gone a bit floppy. But for that I'd have given this 5 stars.The Victorinox Leather Pouch - 5-8 Layer, Black, is an excellent accessory to buy and it fits this knife like a glove.
