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: Victorinox quality
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A very good army knife. Victorinox is Victorinox, and there's nothing more to say. You might find a cheaper knife but far from this quality. You also might find some Letherman knives, but not for the price of this one.
Besides the quality, it is a very complete knife. Not as complete the Champ model, but (for me)it has the most important tools: two blades, the ++openers, and the lovely scissors and wood saw. And with all this tools it's still a very light knife.
An excellent knife!
Customer Review: Great great stuff
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I lost my swiss army knife a couple of years ago and I was really pissed. It was the Spartan model and I used it from everything ranging from letters to loose screws. Recently I thought about buying a new one and so I ordered it off from here and decided to go for the Huntsman model. SJ Tool Supply delivered it quickly and had it at my door in about two days. Extremely fast shipping and a quality product. I'd like to thank Steve from SJ Tool Supply for helping me out with this order.Customer Review: Very Useful Tool
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recieved this knife as a gift from my friend. Just from the feeling of it, I could tell that this was a high quality knife. It's made of high quality metal and was made very well. It comes with a lot of useful tools such as a screw driver, bottle opener, toothpick, tweezers, and more. I like to take it with me because it makes travelling more convenient. The only thing I don't like about this knife is that it is rather hard to clean. Overall though a good product.Customer Review: excellent choice

I had this model for years, until I lost it in 2003. You don't realize how useful something like this is until you're without it, it's aggravating. Finally replaced it a few weeks ago (it's 2006!) way overdue, but I went for the slightly larger model ("Ranger") which I also recommend if you don't mind carrying a little extra weight. I recommend getting 2, one for the car, and one for everyday use, believe me it'll come in handy when you least expect it.Customer Review: Great Gift Idea!

I bought a few of these as gifts for my family and everybody loved them. I cannot find any faults with these portable knives, so here are the positives:
1) Price! $20 for a quality piece of Swiss hardware is awesome! :)
2) Made in Switzerland.
3) Sharp tools, solid construction. Even plastic body feels solid.
4) Makes a great gift!
Highly recommended.
