Product Description
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this 12-item set of stainless-steel tools--all neatly contained inside a single implement that measures just 4-3/8 inches long (111mm). Sheathed in a black cover, the One Hand Trekker Lockblade is one of only three Swiss Army multi-tools with a one-handed serrated locking blade. A valued companion, this pocket knife carries a lifetime warranty against defects. The tools include a serrated locking blade, a bottle opener with a large locking screwdriver and wire stripper, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, key ring, toothpick, tweezers, reamer, and wood saw. 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.

 Big but handy March 4, 2010
Paul Hiebing (Altamonte Springs, FL USA)
The images don't necessarily obscure the knife's size, but it was a little larger than I was expecting. Still, it fits in my pockets just fine and its heft and finish keep it from sliding out when I sit down. The blade itself is sharp, and though I didn't know if I was a fan of the serration, I can't think of any time it's gotten in the way or prevented me from cutting something. The locking flathead screwdriver is a blessing for my thumb's knuckle. The only real complaint I have is that the leather punch is really difficult to get out (not to be attempted by flimsy fingernails!). It's a really handy tool that I use every day.
Great Functionality and Utility February 19, 2010
Tactical Tradecraft (Arizona)
The Victorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Lockblade is a must have Pocket Knife. Today there are so many knife companies, styles, brands, and configurations that it is easy to get lost in the sea of knife options. The Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Lockblade is a solid choice of a knife that you will not regret if you don't have the time to do a lot of research.
Basics:
The Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Lockblade is a 12-item set measuring 4.375 inches long when closed and comes in a black cover. The One Hand Trekker Lockblade is one of only three Swiss Army multi-tools with a one-handed serrated locking blade.
This knife contains the following: 1. One-handed serrated locking blade 2. Bottle opener with 3. large locking screwdriver & 4. wire stripper 5. Can opener with 6. small screwdriver 7. Phillips screwdriver 8. Key ring 9. Toothpick 10. Tweezers 11. Reamer and 12. Wood saw.
Blade:
The blade is made of stainless steel and locks very securely when opened. It is easy to open utilizing your thumb. The blade is half serrated and half straight. The serrated portion is good for cutting rope and cordage. Some people find the serrations as unnecessary but it depends on your particular needs. I find it useful although it does make sharpening more difficult. The blade has a decent cutting edge out of the box but not necessarily the sharpest. It would benefit from a good sharpening before heavy use.
Saw:
The saw works surprisingly well for small to medium size branches. Like any tool don't expect wondrous results when you utilize it for a task that it was not designed to handle. The saw does not lock.
Bottle Opener with large locking screwdriver:
The bottle opener and large straight screwdriver are one solid piece that locks in place when opened which is a great asset. Both tools work as designed with no functionality flaws. The added security of a locking screwdriver is a nice bonus.
Can Opener with Small Screwdriver:
The can opener can take a little getting used to if you have never opened a can with it but nothing that a little practice won't fix. The small screwdriver functions good.
Phillips Screwdriver:
The Phillips screwdriver is heavy duty and solid. It functions very well although it does not have much reach. If you need distance to get to a screw then this will not work. The Phillips is on the backside of the knife and does not lock.
Key ring:
I typically just throw the knife in my pocket so I don't have a use for the key ring. The key ring is good quality and will function well.
Toothpick:
You would be amazed how often a good toothpick comes in handy. Don't underestimate the value of this item. Fits in the knife handle very securely and has never come loose.
Tweezers:
The tweezers are good for small superficial splinters. You don't get a lot of "grip" so they don't work too well for deep splinters or for heavy duty use. Like the toothpick it stays in place very securely in the knife handle.
Reamer:
Be careful with the reamer as it does not lock open and has a bit of play in it which could cause it to accidentally close on your finger resulting in an injury. Like the Phillips screwdriver the reamer is positioned on the back of the knife. Take your time and don't rush when using the reamer.
Overall, the Victorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Lockblade Pocket Knife is an excellent knife with great functionality, utility and the added security of a locking blade, can opener and flat head screwdriver.
It's the best knife I've ever owned. February 18, 2010
W. Schaeffer Tolliver (Lexington, Kentucky)
Christmas 2005 I bought two of these from Amazon: One for myself and one for my best friend. We both still carry them and they are holding up just fine. I don't know that a day goes by that I don't carry this except when I fly, and then I just feel naked without it in my pocket.
The blade locks, which is obvious from the name, but the flat head screwdriver locks and is a great pry tool at that point. In 5 years I've not had a reason to use the saw blade, but everything else has been used to good effect. For general utility it has been the best pocket utility knife I have ever owned.
Great knife! February 5, 2010
So Fab Blue (Colorado)
Really great knife. I bought for my husband and he has found many uses for it. It's a little longer than a regular pocket knife, but it isn't too bulky. The tools are fabulous and very useful.
My husband loves this unique design December 12, 2009

My husband and I both really like Swiss Army Knives, so we may be a bit biased. But I must say, this one's very unique, and it comes in handy especially for camping and backpacking with its unique design compared to the regular swiss army knife version.
