Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Farmer Pocket Knife (Silver Alox-Special Edition)
Customer Review: Best Swiss army knife for outdoors/backpacking
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Farmer has the three backpacking essentials -- main blade, wood saw, awl/reamer -- in just about the most compact, bomb-proof package. As with all 3-5/8" long Alox models, the Farmer's main blade is a little thicker than those on their cellidor (plastic-handled) peers -- certainly sturdy enough to split 1-1/2" thick branches in a pinch. (Yes, I've tried it.) The Alox models also have stronger backsprings for their tools. You do lose the tweezers and toothpick as others have noted, and the Alox handle will obviously feel colder in lower temps. But its surface provides more grip esp. for gloved hands, and most of all it is virtually indestructible. The cellidor handles have been known to break off with strenuous use of the wood saw, exposing flat, smooth metal with sharp edges and exposed rivets. Not worth risking in a real emergency situation. Only other potential negative is that some folks find that the keyring attachment digs into their palms. That doesn't happen to me and I use the keyring for a lanyard; but you could easily cut and file it off (aluminum) if need be. Not perfect, but pretty close.

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 forerunner of that name 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 or versatility.
