VictorinoxHuntsman Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver, Scissors and Wood Saw - Sapphire

In Short: The Huntsman is a Swiss Army Knife, it is well built and well worth the price.I carry my SAK everyday and everywhere (unless explicitly prohibited). A SAK is an indispensable tool and for good reason. With an SAK and a lot of creative know-how , a lot of day-to-day problems are easily overcome, whether in a wilderness setting or in an urban environment. My SAK has served me well on several Scout Campouts as well as in the office. My SAK has worked in several capacities, from basic cutting tasks (opening packages and sharpening pencils) , to tightening or loosening screws, to prying open stuck knots, to opening cans of soup or beans or tuna for meals in camp or at the office. Opening food cans is probably the second most common task my SAK performs.The Huntsman is a step up from my previous EDC, a Spartan, which will now serve as a spare knife in my rucksack. I chose the Huntsman primarily for the additional saw and scissors. These tools will add more versatility to my EDC. The Huntsman is built as solidly as any SAK that I have previously owned, and the tools it contains are of excellent design and quality. The blades on the Huntsman, like my other SAKs, came hair-shaving sharp.A quick search on Youtube (strongly recommended ) will demonstrate the multiple possible uses of the Huntsman SAK. The scissors and saw are sharp, and will be handy in the field, or at work. These scissors can be used in a number of situations, such as cutting moleskin to cover a blister, or in tying a fly.The saw will be helpful in a number of whittling and wood working tasks such as making a button out of antler (with a little help from the awl) , or making a tool to process a plastic bottle into cordage.The package hook also has a number of possible uses, some obvious, and others, not so much, and will definitely be handy.While some many prefer a much more expensive multi-tool, I find an SAK , especially the Huntsman, is much better suited for my day-to-day tasks. There's no question that a multi-tool may be more rugged, but that extra ruggedness comes at the cost of extra bulk and weight. I find an SAK to be more than adequate in most situations, as it is quite capable as long as it is used within its limitations. If the job strains the limits of the tool, its time to get a specialized tool.I find that my SAK is more useful for a multitude of tasks than is a common tactical folder. The SAK also draws less unwanted attention as it rides quietly and invisibly in my pocket. Over the years, I have carried several different styles of tactical knives and multi-tools. However, the tool I have carried most and that is most likely to accompany me everyday, and everywhere is my SAK. I really feel uncomfortable if I have to to leave home without mine.

I am not an outdoorsman by trade, but I appreciate nature and being able to take care of ones self in it and in the day to day. I life multifunction items, that actually works and is helpful for a multitude of tasks. This checks all those boxes. I love the black scales. Though not the iconic red, still very nice. This has all the tools you could need in urban life and for small fishing or camping trips,maybe hiking. The blades and tools are basically steel but very reliable and easy to sharpen. The size is nice,big enough to work,small enough to easily carry. The blades are sharp and the tools work good for their intended purposes.Just remember what this thing is for,it's a pocket knife. For small and slightly bigger jobs. Opening packages, fishing activities, fire making etc. The saw for example is extremely nice and sharp. It could probably cut kindling up to an inch thick,maybe a bit more. Feather stick nicely etc. Has a nice selection of tools like wire stripper,flat and phillips head, bottle and can opener,awl, cork screw, tweezers, tooth pick, parcel hook etc. I think the toothpick is the most useless of them all, but as many pointed out, you can replace it with several tools,like small fire steel. You can feel the quality of it. As long as you don't judge it against bigger, heavy duty knives for harder purposes, like splitting wood, you can't find more value for money. Big recommend.

Swiss made stands for quality - it's just so handy to have this edc around.

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas and he used it for so many things right away. It was useful for packages, tags etc in the first hour. It is great quality and value for the money. The size works well and he will likely keep in his car or in his work bag, but too big to carry on his keychain.

This is my every day carry (EDC) knife. Like many, I like a multipurpose knife. I do not recall how many years ago I started carrying a Swiss Army, but it has been a long while. Somehow, I lost it. So I checked out many different Swiss Army knives at the local knife shop. You know the kind, in the mall with all kinds of exotic knives in the window. I decided on the Huntsman as I wanted scissors, a cork screw and a small blade.The translucent sapphire is a nice color and nice touch. This is a clear blue. You can see through it to the knife base.Price wise, Amazon was a few dollars cheaper than local stores. Add Prime and I had my Huntsman in 2 days.This is a quality knife. The blades are tight but move easily. The knife is made in Switzerland.I used the saw several times already. It is very sharp and cuts on push and pull. The knife is sharp but not razor sharp. Adequate for most jobs but I honed the edge up a notch.Bottle opener is already tested and works well.I do not know what to do with the "hook" tool.The Huntsman is just at the large end of being pocket sized. It is not uncomfortable to carry in one's pocket but is noticeably there. Ergo, I ordered the Victorinox sheaf.This knife fits the large knife case, not the medium one.Overall, this is a high quality knife that I know will serve me well for many years.

It's a really quality beautiful knife, especially the camo design I purchased. Lots of great functions and nice sized even for pocket. A bit difficult at first to determine what opens what, like scissors for example. I'm sure it will get easier with more usage. Again, great to carry with you as a a mini all purpose tool.
