 Great survival tool |

I bought my explorer in 1972. Since then, it has:
Fixed scores of electronics
Cut virtually anything that needed cutting
Opened myriad bottles of wine and beer
Opened far too many C-rations
Screwed and unscrewed thousands of mechanical and wood screws
And even started fires
It is possibly the best purchase I have ever made

Dynamic Duo!

The Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer is a handy dandy combination of tools.
It is just enough for most needs without being cumbersome.
I own the awesome Victorinox SwissTool RS and prefer that for my use.
However, it is bigger and not for those who need a more scaled down knife.
Based on size, I purchased two of the Swiss Army Explorers to give as Christmas gifts.
It comes with a key ring and, although smaller, it has plenty to work with.
It has 16 tools: 1. Large Knife Blade, 2. Small Knife Blade, 3. Can Opener, 4. Bottle Opener
5. Small Screwdriver, 6. Large Screwdriver, 7. Phillips Screwdriver, 8. Wire Stripper, 9. Reamer, 10. Punch,
11. Magnifying Glass, 12. Tweezers, 13. Corkscrew, 14. Scissors, 15. Hook, and 16. Toothpick.
The Explorer was the right choice for the ones receiving them and getting the free pouch makes it even better.
The combination offered by Amazon makes for a good purchase at a reasonable price. ~ The Boss

The Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Sets were much appreciated as Christmas gifts by our son and son-in-law. |
WooHooo My first Swiss Army tool, too good!

This is my first too, the explorer is something one must have if u are a swiss knife fan. It had all the wanted features and the leather pouch that came was an asset as I now can store it easily and the kids also do not know what it is.
The oil was spilling when I first opened all the tools, but now it seems to work well. Grab one while amazon has these in stock. |

Well I just ordered two of these for my 11 year old twins. It will be their first father to son pocket knives. It's kind of a ritual of passage for a father to give a son a knife. Kind of saying you can be responsible now. Of course in the days of post 911 hysteria it is harder for a kid to enjoy it. Now they show up at school with it and homeland security gets called. When I was young a teacher would ask to borrow my pocket knife.
I got these for the twins after replacing my Super Tinker I had lost with a Champ Plus. That seemed a little bulky for them so got this model. The magnifying glass should be good for young explorers. The pouch should protect these more for the boys. I wish I had one for my Champ Plus. |

I got this Victorinox for my husband, and he loved it. He is a big fan and has many, he says that "they last forever and you never get tired of having a new one". This model has a "medium-load" of accessories so it can be a bit bulky; I guess that is the only comment if you are always going around with one in your pocket.

Best combo for everyday use

This knife is a replacement for one (same model) that was recently stolen. The combo of tools found on this model has proven to be the most useful during travel, while camping, and just around the house and office. I have used it to fix bicycles, remove splinters, snip loose threads on a suit before a major presentation, repair luggage, clean a fish for dinner, tighten loose screws on a microphone, open a celebratory bottle of wine and much, much more.
Virtually every tool has come in handy at one time or another. Love the size, reliability and function of this knife.
If you are looking for a working knife that has the kind of tools needed for the typical kind of stuff we all encounter on a day to day basis, this is the model! |
Best Combination of Tools for the size and weight
|
| Review Date: February 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Charlie Blake, Houston, Texas |
I have had carried Explorers since 85. It is one of the few Swiss knifes that have a phillips from the end instead of from the middle. Its weight and combination of tools is perfect! I have Leathermen (too heavy), smaller Swiss knifes (too limited), and other pocket size tool collections (too flimsy), but the Explorer does it all and does not pull too heavy in your pockets. The magnifying lens seems like wasted space until you need it again and again and again. The large screwdriver/opener, has a wire bending notch that is more useful than you know. My first one had the blade broken by a customer who needed to borrow it for a second (never loaned it again). The second one had the case cracked when I was in a wreck (never wreck again).
I never, ever, leave home without it. |

| This model has been my favorite Swiss Army Knife for over 30 years. I have purchased three of them during that time. It contains almost every miniature tool one could want for making adjustments or repairs in a pinch, except a saw, which is why I rate it a 4 instead of 5. I've used it virtually every day for one thing or another, and it has held up extremely well. The most recent purchase was a gift for my son, who at 20 is younger than the second of these knives I purchased in 1982. I lost the original knife in 1982 after using it for six years. Replacement parts such as toothpick, tweezers and scissor spring are easy to obtain, though the average time between replacement has been about ten years for each. The price on Amazon is the lowest by far, even cheaper than the first one purchased 30 years ago, but the quality is the same. |
Nice knife, bad pocuh

I have had a Swiss Army knife for a very long time, I lost it unfortunately and bought this new one. I am enjoying it as I did with the first one I had, the quality of the steel and the tools is unsurpassable.
Anyway, the pouch that comes with this offer does very little in terms of quality. For the future buyers I suggest getting another pouch separately. |

| I think that the knife looks very nice, and was as I expected from the photo on your site. The case is a nice added feature. |
