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.

 Very Pleased March 18, 2010
Longtail (Seattle, WA United States)
Victorinox is legendary knife maker and a brand name you can trust for any quality blade you need from Swiss army knives to kitchen cutlery. I picked this knife because I'm a fan of this maker, and also because it has everything I want in it. I take this thing out foraging all the time, and the blades are sharp and cut the plants I need well. Even the scissors have some good torque to them.
I can even use the hook for a little extra reach to grab a branch through a bramble or something.
All in all, good price, great brand, awesome knife. Definately worth a buy.

Very nice knife, but the hook blade is only good for conversation (as in "What do you suppose this blade is for?"). Other than that, it's a very useful knife.
Where True Swiss Army Knives begin. February 22, 2010

The climber IMO is where serious SAK's begin. The tool that sets the Climber apart from it less expensive brethren, is the scissors. It is strong enough to trim fingernails, yet delicate and precise enough to cut lightweight paper precisly. When using any of the tools, you can feel the precision built into each functional tool.
I have other Victorinox SAK's, but the usefullness, combined with the small size and light weight, make the Climber the one I reach for 95% of the time.
It doesn't have a lot of tools, but has most of the essentials February 2, 2010

Legendary quality, it can be abused. Any Victorinox Model II knives are cased with different materials, which are not as pretty as the shinny red model, if it matters to you, you may want to consider the original model.
This knife has the minimum set of usable tools. I think it has the best feature set among Victorinox swiss army knifes in the same size, though some might argue the Tinker is better. With its light weight and low price, you won't remember having it in your pocket; even if you do forget, it doesn't cost that much to replace.
 Very Good But...... February 1, 2010
S. Devarakonda (Northern VA)
I wanted to give it a 4 Star, But the Logo on the knife looks like it has been carved by Hand and not Machine embossed....MEANING: NOT ORIGINAL.
But I will give the benefit of doubt to the seller & give it a 3 Star instead of No Stars.
It is sharp and cuts through things easily and the grip + size are perfect for any sized hands.
