Description of Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsman Pocket Knife (Red)
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.From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this complete set of tools for campers, hikers, hunters, fishers, and other outdoor lovers--all neatly contained inside a single implement that measures just 3-1/2 inches long. Sheathed in the famous Swiss Army red plastic, the Huntsman pocket knife is a toolbox small enough to fit into a pocket. (It also comes with a key ring.) A valued companion, this pocket knife contains 14 stainless-steel tools and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. The tools include a large knife blade, small knife blade, can opener, small screwdriver, bottle opener, large screwdriver, reamer, sewing eye, plastic toothpick, tweezers, corkscrew, scissors, hook, and wood saw. --Fred Brack
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife more than a century ago comes the Huntsman, a complete set of tools for hunters, boy scouts, campers, and just about all other outdoor enthusiasts. Measuring just 3-1/2 inches long, the Huntsman is stylishly cased in the familiar red housing and is embossed with a Victorinox logo. More importantly, the Huntsman contains 14 stainless-steel tools appropriate for just about any occasion, including a large blade, a small blade, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a bottle opener with a large screwdriver and a wire stripper, and a wood saw. And that's just the beginning, as the multitool also includes a reamer with a sewing eye, a small set of scissors, a corkscrew, a hook, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. In short, it's a terrific accessory for outdoorsmen who don't have the room to bring along a bunch of separate tools.
As with all Victorinox items, the Huntsman is made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a plastic housing, the Huntsman carries a lifetime warranty.
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 original product 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 for versatility.
Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsman Pocket Knife (Red)
Customer Review: Best quality, most useful, little knife in the world
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
_I've had this model of the Victorinox Swiss Army knife for over 30 years now. With a little occassional whetting and oiling it is as fine as the day I got it. It has everything you will ever really need, in a package so small that you'll forget that you even have it in your pocket.
_The two knife blades are first quality and take an edge so sharp that you could operate with them. The saw blade never seems to need sharpening and will rip through a surprisingly large branch. My can opener still opens cans smoothly with no maintainance- and it has opened hundreds. The cork screw is the only one I've ever owned- or needed. The tweezers have removed more splinters than I care to count. The leather punch is my first choice for adjusting a belt or pack strap. And I've adjusted any number of mechanisms in the field using the screw driver blades- and that little nylon tooth pick.
_My only question is this: what the heck are the little bitty scissors for?
Customer Review: A Very Special Victorinox
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love the huntsman. It is probably the best and most practical of the victorinox knives. I use it everyday for general use (like opening letters & packages, removing splinters, cutting rope......). It is also usefull on the campsite. You will find the can opener, corkscrew, scissors, and the 2 knife blades to be your best friends in the campsite. Also with a little imagination you can use it for just about anything (they are so simple yet so amazing!). When I go camping I bring this knife along, plus I bring my KA-BAR stacked-leather handled bowie knife as a bigger tool ( I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOWIE!!!). When I have my huntsman in my pocket and my bowie on my belt they make camping, fihing, hunting, ect.... so much easier...and alot more fun! I own many knives, but my huntsman, executive, and little classic victorinox knives hold a very special place in my collection.Customer Review: GREAT!!

well i just bought the huntsman and was amazed by its weight. it packs a lot and weighs like nothing.i also own a leatherman wave but i found it awkward whipping out a huge piece of steel to open a bottle or cut a piece of string. so i decided to buy the huntsman for daily use and probably keep the wave in my hiking bag. it just weighs too much. i was also very happy that on each tool there was alreddy a thin layer of oil. it has all the tools that you will ever need without all the fancy stuff. fits nicely in the pocket unlike the wave wich felt like my pants were gonna fall off or it would break a hole in the pocket. the tool is also nicely shaped so it doesnt cut into you another bad for the wave. manage to buy it on fathers day for only [...], normally [...] overall this is a magnificent tool.Customer Review: Wonderful knife but I suggest the Camper for a thinner alternative
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I carried this particular knife for years before it was stolen. When I replaced it I did not realize the vast number of models Victorinox made. I inadvertantly bought the Camper. It has the saw but not the scissors or the hook thing. But it has everything else that is on the Huntsman, including the saw.
It is enough thinner that it made carrying it in my pocket everyday is a LOT more comfortable. I do not miss the scissors much, though they are very cool. I do have a small (SAK)knife that has the scissors. It goes in my shaving kit when I travel. But the camper has the same blades and openers and it has the saw. The saw is awsome.
For every day comfort with extreme versatility, I recomend the Camper above this knife.
Customer Review: Victorinox Huntsman
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This pocketknife is a solid bit of kit from a well known and respected brand (beware of cheap imitations as the saying goes). It has all the basic tools you may need and even after years of owning one it still functions well and the blades have remained sharp. You can get these in different colours and they are so sturdy that they begin to look tatty only after extensive usage. If you want a Swiss army knife and are unsure which one to go for, this one is probably the standard that others are measured against and unless you need sport or industry specific tools on your knife, this one should cater for all of your needs. A great tool and a good buy.
