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.
Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Lockblade Pocket Knife (Black)
Customer Review: Nearly perfect
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Another quality product from Victorinox. Yes it is rather large, but I've been carrying it constantly for the last two weeks in my jeans pocket with no problem and will continue to do so. It does have a left handed lock which is great for me and any other lefty out there. Don't be worried if your right handed, it easily unlocks with your right hand too. We lefties have been using the oppisite hand for things like this forever. Finally, the serrated blade is making a convert out of me. I don't usually like them but this one is razor sharp and quite handy. The only issue that I have is the lock allows a little movement to the blade. This does not effect the function or safety but was a little disappointing to see in an otherwise great knife. Interestingly the screwdriver locks up nice and tight. I still give this knife 5 stars, a great large pocketknife, especially for the price.Customer Review: Fantastic Knife - One tool missing
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've owned many of these Swiss Army knives and this is the current knife that I take into the wilderness. The blade is sharp enough and big enough to filet a High Sierra trout and the quick one hand opening might be handy in the event of a bear encounter... ha! NOT! But I feel more secure knowing I can open it quickly. The tool that it is missing that I really miss is the corkscrew! How could they do away with it in this model. If it had the corkscrew, then I would carry it in town and everywhere but without the corkscrew, I take one of my other SA knives that also has the same lockblade but also has the corkscrew when I feel I might be in the need for that tool. I'm not a big wine drinker, but I do like being prepared.
Still for the wilderness whether a day hike or the John Muir Trail, this is an excellent knife to have and the Amazon sale price makes it a bargain to boot.
Customer Review: Exactly what's useful
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I don't open a lot of wine bottles outside of a kitchen, I don't study things with a tiny magnifying glass, and I don't often scale fish. I just need a great knife with the essentials and this knife provides exactly that.
The serrated locking main blade is great. I use the one handed feature all the time: my left hand will be occupied holding something, but my right can easily grab the knife and open the blade. Having serrations makes cutting twine, threads, and rope much easier.
One warning though: at almost 4.5" this knife is fairly large; larger than most pocket knives. For some people that might rule the "pocket" part out.
According to Victorinox, this knife is the official field knife for the German Army. I can see why: it contains exactly what's needed without the superfluous attachments that weigh down so many other knives.
Customer Review: The locking blade is the key
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is my second favorite Swiss army knife design because the blade does not fold in on you when you use it in daily life! I like most of the tools as well, but they are more on the basic side. The saw is perfect for camping, for many uses where a knife won't do the job. And you also have all the other handy gadgets... I've had one of these for many years, and have used it on many occasions.
Remember to carry a sharpening tool with you as well as the blades need frequent re-sharpening to be in top shape during daily use.
I found a great solution to cleaning the lint/ food that gets lodged in the grooves of the handle. I simply throw it in one of those ultrasonic jewelry cleaners that you can get on amazon for [...] bucks and it keeps on shining like new! Overall worth way more than you pay for it!
Customer Review: Nothing China about this knife
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Victorinox swiss army knives are not made in China..
All Victorinox swiss army knives are made in Schwyz, Switzerland.. If you will look on the main blade of your knife you will see the Victorinox Switzerland stamp..
The quality difference between an authentic swiss army knife such as a Wenger or Victorinox, compared to cheap Chinese copies is instantly apparent..
This particular knife is as good as it gets for an outdoor or survival folding knife.. The steel although somewhat soft by todays standards, is easily sharpened on a stone, rock, etc.. It is also for all intents and purposes rust proof.. There are currently some German army versions of this knife currently on the market, with olive handles, the German army seal and no tweezers or toothpick..
I highly recommend..
