Victorinox Deluxe Tinker Multi-Tool Pocket Knife

This knife is perfect for everyday use. It is flawlessly constructed and you can wrap your hand around it good to use it. For what you may ask? Let me give you a few examples:The wood saw and metal saw are sharp and work quite well. I cut a wood frame to size using nothing but these tools.The little pliers are a swiss army knife in themselves. I find myself using them for anything from manipulating cotter pins to tightening a small bolt.The magnifying glass is quite handy when trying to use the tweezers to pull that splinter out of your hand. Be aware that unlike the picture shows, it is no longer encased in that gray plastic. It's now made of one clear plastic piece, the lens is bigger, and an improvement in my opinion; although the classy look of the piece is lost. Traditionalists may frown upon this change.Needless to say the blades are both very sharp. Try to use the big blade for the tough jobs and the little one for the precision, scalpel-sharp jobs.The scissors are another swiss army knife of their own. Use them to groom your nails in conjunction with the file/saw (also to get rid of those pesky hangnails) or to strip wire (use the rear part of the blades for the tough jobs and the tip for precision).The ruler and the pen come quite handy when more practical counterparts are not within reach.Dropped your fork? Not a problem; simply pull out the ruler and use the tip (disgorger) as a mini fork. I wouldn't recommend using the descaler as such as it will make a smelly mess of your knife.The philips screwdriver seems to be the right size for any screw out there but if you run into a really small one, simply unscrew the mini screwdriver in the cork opener. The latter one also works quite well when due to impairment you misplace your bottle opener. The body of the knife provides adequate handle for this tool.In short supply of a razor blade to clean goo off a window? Pull the chisel out and get the job done (although it may take a while).The leather puncher (looks like a small potato peeler, and can be used like one too) can also be used on plastic, thin sheetmetal and other soft materials to make rather neat holes (belt too tight? make a new hole and breathe better).I could go on and on but the point is, this knife is as smart as you are. You can find uses for every single one of its tools every day. Get the pouch, it will stay in better shape and within easy reach when you need it. Terrific price from Amazon too. Enjoy!

I received the previous generation of this Swiss Army knife from my Father in law as a gift. When I first received it my reaction was “this thing is way too big to carry, what the heck do I need with a tiny magnifying glass and minuscule ballpoint pen?” That version didn’t have the pliers. I decided I’d carry it since it was a thoughtful gift from a man I respect. I was wrong. It is a bit large. But it has been extremely useful, more so than almost any multi tool I’ve owned to date. I work on a lot of firearms, shoot, hunt, fish, wrench on cars/ equipment, welding, machining, as well as a lot of DIY type things and use this almost daily. The pen has come in handy more times than I thought and the magnifying glass is really great thing to have especially as my eyes age. Which is why I purchased this one, functionally my old model is almost perfect 10 or so years later. But my 4y.o. Sprayed it with brakleen wanting to clean daddy’s knife. Melted the magnifying glass and the scales. So I figured it was time for a newer model. I thought the pliers were silly, but honestly, if you use them in a manner appropriate for their size they have come in very handy and are quite stout. I really like the blue as that’s my favorite color. I carry it every single day even though it is a bit cumbersome. This model’s size would definitely be my limit. But it’s usefulness exceeds its dimensions. I would be lost without it and will buy yet another if I need to. But I get the feeling my son will inherit both of these when the time comes. If you find yourself encountering any screws, fasteners, string/rope, packaging materials, doodads or thingamajigs and are looking for a solid Jack of all trades master of none. It’s a great addition to your pocket.

Swiss army knives are always high quality highly functional small multi tools but the Swiss champ is the king of Swiss army knives. For such a small tool (compared to Leatherman style multi tools) there's an amazing amount of versatility here. The red is iconic but I actually prefer the black. Easy to use also can't say enough good things about these things.

We have had this version of SAK for over a decade, among others. But this one is definitely a favorite because of its versatility. We love this particular assortment of tools, especially the pliers, scissors, knife, screwdriver, magnifying lens. Despite frequent use, everything has stayed in perfect condition and as sharp as ever. It looks as new and everything works as well as the day we got it. Like most Victorinox products, it is built to last. Highly recommend.

I have had several of these. This model, I have found is the best. It is a little bulky/heavy, but I wouldn't want to give up even one of its tools.The scissors are the greatest. The Philips screw driver that comes straight out is the only way to go. The magnifying glass is strong. The pliers while small are tough and work well. The pen is cool and when you are stuck without a pen or pencil, it comes in handy. I have never had a pen's ink dry up or run out. The straight pin is very useful for removing splinters. The tiny screwdriver is great for tightening glasses screws. The file, fine and coarse is great, sturdy, stays sharp. I LOVE the saw. It is Sooo sharp and stays that way. Branch in your way? No problem, no need to go get a saw. The most versatile tool is the main screwdriver/bottle opener/pry bar. All the other tools, can opener, fish scaler/hook remover, needle/awl and a few others are handy when/if you need them. Oh yeah, two knife blades, they are handy to have on a knife
