This knife is truly designed for all around use. It includes a large blade, a can opener, a small screwdriver, a bottle opener, a wood saw, and a wire stripper. Essentially it has all the tools that the average person would use in their day and nothing that would get in the way.
This is one of the areas where the Victorinox Farmer truly shines. The compact size of nine inches by six inches by a single inch makes it an easy fit for most backpacks, purses, or back pockets, so you can truly take it everywhere you go. Plus, the tools are readily available and easy to access using the standard thumbnail guide to pull them out. While it doesn’t have one-handed capabilities, it more than makes up for that inconvenience with its size and relatively small profile.
This particular knife has been touted to be one of the sturdiest, and most reliable Victorinox knives on the market today. Not only does the profile allow it to fit in multiple places, but it also helps to prevent undue wear and tear on the parts and tools by presenting a smooth, overall finish. So with proper care and maintenance, chances are this blade will last for decades to come.
The practical uses of this knife are very good. All of the included tools are things that the average person would use in their everyday life. While it is lacking a few tools, such as a reamer or a Phillips head screwdriver that may be useful depending on your situation, the overall knife serves most people quite well.
Like the other knives on this list, the Victorinox Farmer has been shown to be crafted with precision and dedication to practical detail. The tools are easy to pull open and close, relatively easy to maintain, and if you happen to carry this knife through some less than ideal conditions, it won’t fall apart that easily.
The Victorinox Farmer provides great, practical tools in an easy to transport and use a pocket knife. While the lack of ergonomic handles and select tools might be off-putting to some, overall this is a great choice for your next knife.
Simple, elegant, and extremely practical, the Victorinox Electrician is a specialized knife that has proven itself to be useful to nearly everyone who owns it.
Designed specifically for those who work with electronics and wiring, this knife contains a large knife, an electrician’s blade, a wire scraper, a reamer, a bottle opener, a screwdriver, and a wire stripper. While it doesn’t have all of the useful tools available, it does have many that an electrician or the average person would use while working around the house.
This particular knife is one of the most compact, and easy to use of the choices on this list. Measuring only 7/16 of an inch thick, it can easily fit into any pocket or bag. Also, because the edges are straight and clean, making sure the blades stay in top condition is very easy indeed.
The 420 high carbon stainless steel of the blades and tools make them easy to maintain and can withstand a lot of abuse that is associated with chores around the home and office.
This knife, although fantastic for everyday use around the home and office, does leave a bit to be desired when it comes to practicality in the great outdoors. The relatively small blade and lack of other tools make it an inadequate companion while fishing, hiking, or doing other outdoor activities. While it is more than compact enough to come with you, there are other options on this list more suited for the great outdoors.
The efficient nature of the tools provided as well as its compact size means that this is one knife where the craftsmanship can really stand out. Not only are the tools made of quality material, but even how they are laid out within the knife makes practical sense for the average user. It’s that attention to detail that makes this a great choice for your everyday knife.
The Victorinox Electrician provides a great knife to use in and around the home, and in situations where wiring or electronics is involved. While it’s not the best choice for the great outdoors, it can certainly provide some help there as well.
May be a bit large for pockets, etc.
This knife was named the Knife of the Year 2007 and with very good reason. Designed specifically for use by rescue workers and first responders, this is one knife that not only has the ability to withstand the great outdoors but has the ability to help you survive it as well.
The included tools on this particular knife are truly varied and will certainly help you when you're in a dire situation. They include a one-handed serrated locking blade, a window breaker, a strong screwdriver with crate opener, a disc saw, Phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener, a wire stripper, a reamer, a seat belt cutter, tweezers, a toothpick, and luminescent handles to make it easy to keep track of. Essentially, every tool and every function are designed to help those helping others in trouble get out safely.
Perhaps one of the drawbacks of this particular knife is that not every tool contained within it is easy to use by someone who is unfamiliar with it. While the bottle opener and window breaker are fairly straightforward in their use, the disc saw and the crate opener may take a few tries to get the hang of it. If you choose this pocket knife, we suggest that you spend a bit of time practicing with it for when the time comes.
Despite its many parts, this particular tool is one of the most durable in this particular list, provided that they are well maintained and cared for. So if you take this knife out into the field, be sure to do regular maintenance on it to keep it in prime condition.
While not every tool will be used by every person, this is a great and practical knife to have in an emergency. Also, the size may be a bit too large for some pockets. It’s a case of knowing that you’ll have what you need in an emergency and that perhaps makes it one of the most practical knives around.
Designed in collaboration with rescue workers and first responders, this knife shows a good level of craftsmanship. The tools are created out of stainless steel and formed with Swiss precision. This is one knife that will most likely outlive its 25-year warranty.
Whether you're in the great outdoors or driving on your way to work, the Victorinox Swiss Army Rescue Tool may just be the knife that can save your life. While not every tool will be used, having what you need to help keep yourself safe is a great thing indeed.
If you’re looking for a knife from Victorinox that is a great choice for use in camping, hiking, boating, and hunting, the Swiss Army EVO Grip 18 should certainly be on your list. Designed to be used in a variety of situations, this is one knife that is a great addition to your outdoor adventures.
This particular knife includes eleven different implements, that can be used to provide fifteen different functions. These include a 2.5-inch locking blade, a nail file, a pair of serrated edge scissors, a can opener, a bottle opener, both large and small screwdrivers, a wood saw, and a Phillips screwdriver.
Overall this knife is fairly easy to use, with each of the tools accessible with either two-handed or one-handed operation. The locking mechanism for the blades can be somewhat difficult for right-handed users to operate, but other than that, use is fairly straightforward.
With the exception of the outer grips and shell, this particular knife is just as durable as the others on this list. Thankfully, the entire knife does fall under warranty, and the Victorinox company is well known for their commitment to their customers and their satisfaction.
If you love the outdoors, this is a great choice since nearly every tool can be used at one time or another in your adventures. It may be a bit much for those who choose to stay closer to home, but if your grand adventure takes you to far off places, this is a great overall choice.
While still a step above most other brands, this particular Victorinox knife doesn’t quite have the level of craftsmanship seen in other knives on this list. While the interior portions are well made and fit together nicely, the out covering and grips tend to become slightly looser with age and frequent use.
While not as durable as we would like in the outer portions, the Victorinox Swiss Army EVO Grip 18 is still a powerhouse of practicality and function. It would certainly be a welcomed addition to your next outdoor adventure.
If you’re spending any amount of time on the waves, either at your local lake or the high seas, the Victorinox Skipper is one knife that you should consider putting as your first mate.
Designed with the avid fisherman and boater in mind, this knife from Victorinox includes a large serrated locking blade, a shackle opener with marlin spike, pliers with wire cutting ability, a wire crimper, and a Phillips screwdriver to round out the list.
While many of the functions in this knife need two hands to open and close, the overall use of the knife is fairly straight forward. It was clearly designed for efficient and easy use.
While not the most durable on this list, it is certainly a very sturdy option that can withstand life in a tackle box or on a sailing boat quite easily.
If you like to spend a great deal of time on the water, this is a great choice in a knife. You’ll have the tools you need to get the job done. However, not many of the tools can be used outside of that environment.
With it's relatively straight forward, yet specialized design, the Victorinox Skipper is a great example of what Swiss craftsmanship can do when asked to address the specific needs of a specific community. The stainless steel and housing both measure up to very exacting standards, and the overall feel of it is very pleasant indeed.
If it’s a sailor’s life for you, the Victorinox Skipper can be an able-bodied assistant to your crew. Filled with tools that are a great use for fishing and boating, this is one knife you’ll want to have on the high seas.
If you’re looking for a sentinel of a knife, the Victorinox Centurion is one that should be at the top of your list.
This knife includes many of the tools that you would use every day including a large blade, can and bottle openers, screwdriver, wire stripper, and reamer. It also includes tweezers and a toothpick, making this knife a great choice for every day carry no matter what your situation is.
With the exception of the one-handed blades detailed on this list, the Centurion is perhaps one of the most straightforward folding knives we reviewed. While it doesn’t have absolutely everything we would have liked to see, it still packs a punch when it comes to ease of use.
Durability is one area where this knife really shines. Designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor and indoor use, it includes an acid-resistant plastic and aluminum handle that protects the stainless steel components quite well.
At a practical level, this is one of those knives that you’ll be returning to again and again to use. Featuring tools that make your life easier in a package that is hard to break make this choice a true companion for the average person.
The Centurion is one of those knives that is simple in its design and nearly flawless in the execution of it. The tools are easy to use, the overall look is precise and clean, and there is little chance of it breaking due to overuse because of the care taken in building it.
If you’re looking for a practical workhorse to help you in your everyday tasks, the Victorinox Centurion is a great overall choice. While it doesn’t have all the features that an avid outdoorsman would employ, it’s still a great place to start.
Feel the need to carry a toolbox in your pocket? The Victorinox Swiss Army Trekker Multi-tool may just be what you’re hankering for.
This particular knife is filled almost to capacity with different implements and tools, making it both one of the most useful knives to have around. It includes a large blade with a locking option, can opener, small screwdriver, wood saw, bottle opener, large screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, screwdriver, a toothpick, and tweezers.
Overall this entry into our list is about average on the ease of use scale. There are certainly others, such as the EVO Grip 18 and the Electrician that are far easier to use, but when it comes to other tools on the market today it is overall much more usable and practical. The only other minor complaint we had was the overall weight. It may be a bit too hefty for some users.
Overall the durability of this multi-tool is what we would expect from Victorinox, taking into consideration the tools contained within and our overall design concerns. With proper care, it should last for many years to come.
In this case, practicality becomes a double-edged sword in a way. While the included tools are truly an asset when they are used, not everyone will use them. Therefore, this is one entry where your lifestyle and what you’re using it for will come into play when thinking about the purchase.
While the Swiss Army Trekker Multi-tool is well made, the overall design could use a little bit of rethinking. The placement of some of the tools makes them harder to access.
If you’re looking for a great choice to make sure you can leave the toolbox at home, the Swiss Army Trekker Multi-tool is a great choice.
Designed with the hunter in mind, this knife from Victorinox is a great choice if enjoy spending time in the back country with only the animals, your wits and your weapon as your companions.
Unlike the other knives on this list, the Victorinox Swiss Army Hunter Pro contains just one tool, but it’s a remarkable one at that. This knife features a heavy gauge stainless steel locking blade that measures an effective 4 inches in length. It features the ability to open it one handed, as well as superior sharpness compared to other blades on this list.
With the thumb ring and easy to use one handed locking operation, you’ll be able to get this knife open in a flash and use it easily.
While there have been some issues with the housing and the blade tip in earlier versions of this knife, Victorinox seems to have addressed them well enough to create a knife that withstands the rigors of the hunting life without too much trouble.
When it comes to cutting things, whether it’s rope animal hide, or plant life in the back country, this simple blade is truly all you need. However, we wouldn’t suggest using it for other tasks such as tightening a screw or breaking a window. Its lack of other tools can be both a strength and a drawback depending on your needs.
With its straightforward and simple design, there is little that can hide the superior craftsmanship of this knife. The blade, as well as the housing, are solidly built, and chances are it will last for years to come.
The Victorinox Swiss Army Hunter Pro pocket knife is a true vision in a simple, yet functional design. If you want something that will cut nearly anything, this is a great choice.
Inspired by the knives issued to the German Army, this knife is a great choice for the general outdoors enthusiast or the weekend warrior.
The included tools of this knife from Victorinox include a serrated locking blade, a Phillips screwdriver, a wood saw, a bottle opener, can opener, and both a large and small screwdriver.
Each of the tools in this knife is fairly easy to access and use.
With proper care and maintenance, this knife will last for decades under normal use conditions. However, if you envision working in harsh environments, or putting this knife through serious abuse, you might want to consider some of the other options on this list.
When it comes to usability and practicality in the field, the Victorinox one hand trekker is a fairly good choice. The tools are practical and easy to use and should last with proper care through most average outdoor environments.
For all practical purposes, the craftsmanship of this knife measures up to industry standards and will last you for a fairly long time. However, there are quite a few on this list that have a better overall design and workmanship.
If you’re a weekend warrior that loves to camp, hike and explore the great outdoors at a comfortable pace, the Victorinox One-Hand Trekker German Army is a great choice. However, if you expect to be more extreme in your adventures, you might want to consider other options.
The best Victorinox knives are well known for being practical tools that can be used just about anywhere, and help you in numerous situations that you may find yourself in. One of the reasons for this universal usability is the fact that most of these pocket knives come with a wide array of tools. From the classic single-edge knife blade to a plastic toothpick, there are countless tools to use.
But it’s not only about what tools are offered in each of these knives. It’s also about practicality and functionality. Having a saw blade is all well and good, but in order to be practical, it needs to be able to cut through things with relative ease. Scissors that don’t cut adequately after a few uses don’t really serve you well in a pinch. And a Phillips screwdriver that doesn’t allow you to use it in many cases because of where it is on the knife doesn’t help all that much either.
Thankfully, except for a few instances, mostly involving the Phillips head screwdriver, these knives from Victorinox all offer the tools that most people use on a daily basis and some tools that certainly help out in a pinch or emergency situations.
Let’s face it; unless the knife is easy to use, chances are it won’t be used. Whether it’s opening or closing the knife blade, pulling out the tweezers, or angling the flathead screwdriver to get into a tight place, there are numerous situations where these knives offer a practical usability that is hard to match.
There are exceptions, of course. In some cases, such as the included corkscrew, the practicality of the tool and the ease of use just doesn’t seem to match up with the utilitarian nature of the knives from Victorinox as a whole.
Another aspect to consider when purchasing the best Victorinox knife for you is how long it is going to last. These knives are meant to take abuse either in the heart of the city’s jungle or trekking through the forest behind your home. After all, these knives have a heritage of being used by the Swiss military.
While the true durability of each particular knife varies with use and time, with proper care, each of the examples on this list should last for many years to come. There are some reports from consumers, of their knives lasting for decades, and only needing replacements due to being lost or stolen. Nevertheless, it is no wonder why fans keep coming back to Victorinox again and again, the durability of their products is undeniable.
And finally, it’s important to consider how practical the Victorinox knife will be for the situations that you are most likely to face. In taking this into consideration, we look at what a typical outdoors enthusiast would be doing while using the knife. He might be gathering kindling for a campfire. She might be trying to tighten a tiny screw on her compass. A teenager might use the main blade as a way to scrape mud off of his shoe (a use we don’t recommend by the way if you want your knife to last as long as it can). In a more urban setting, these knives can be used to help set watches, do minor repairs to computer terminals and even cut up an apple into easy to eat slices. There are countless uses for these knives, and their practicality is certainly a very important factor when choosing the best one for your needs.
There are plenty of counterfeit Victorinox knives out there. One of the company's best-known traits is the "snap" of tools when they fold back into place. Another unique touch you can look for is an inscription on the largest blade. The inscription should read "Victorinox Swiss Made."
Most Swiss Army Knives are banned from carry-on luggage. If the blade is smaller than 2.36-inches you can bring it on the plane with you in in the cabin, whether it be in your personal item, pocket, or carry-on luggage.
Having their start in the late 1800s, the Victorinox company has built a reputation for its high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Designed with military precision and Swiss accuracy, the best knives from Victorinox are well known to stand the test of time.
While many of these knives are no longer manufactured in Switzerland, the pride and demanding nature of the company to produce high-quality knives hasn’t lessened at all. They still use high-quality materials, skilled craftsman, and artisans. In addition, with newer technology, and the ability to expand their manufacturing into a global scale, they are able to offer this quality at a much more reasonable price than before.
q: Is it an everyday knife?
In certain areas of the country, there are laws concerning what knives you are allowed to carry on your person based primarily on the blade length, and whether or not it is a foldable design. In addition, some of the knives presented here are entirely too large to carry around in a pocket or even in a purse.
So when choosing your next Victorinox knife, it’s important to consider if you’re going to be carrying it every day, and how you will be carrying it as well. Thankfully, most of the knives presented here are compact enough and small enough to meet the laws of the area as well as the practicality of everyday carry. There are a few exceptions, of course. For example, the Swiss Army Ranger Wood 55 knife is probably a bit too large to fit in the pocket, but it can easily be worn on a belt.
q: How and when can it be used?
This is perhaps one of the most important subjects to think about when purchasing your next Victorinox knife. How and when you see yourself using it will ultimately help you determine what type of knife you buy. Do you see yourself using it sparingly, such as cutting up a piece of fruit, or maybe turning a loose screw or two? Then a knife with a slimmer line and fewer tools, such as the Victorinox Electrician may be all that you need. However, if you see yourself using multiple tools, especially in a more wilderness environment, something like the One-Handed German Army Trekker knife, with its one-handed ease of opening and serrated locking blade might serve you better.
q: How should I clean my knife?
First, if you so happen to buy a Victorinox Knife that has electronics make sure to remove its batteries before getting started. Next, you have a couple of options. You can either simply inspect your knife for dirt and debris and gently clean it off with a soft towel and warm water. Or , if you find that your knife is a little bit more dirty and stiff, you can place it in a bowl of warm water. Once it is in the water, open and close all of the parts until they move smoothly. Finally, once your knife is 100% dry and clean, you will want to place a mall amount of oil between the blades.
q: How do I oil my Victorinox Knife?
First, have a look at how easily the tools can be pulled into their open position. Are some of them stiff, or slow moving? Or perhaps they get “stuck” half way through the motion? All three of these characteristics can become unsafe and lead to dangerous situations. In these cases, lubrication is most likely needed. While a standard knife oil will suffice, Victorinox offers a multi-tool oil that is specifically designed for their merchandise, and it actually works quite well.
When placing the oil on your knife, you place a very small drop of it in between the blades and blades, tool casing, and any other friction points.
q: What oil should I use to clean my Swiss Army Knife?
It is suggested by Victorinox that you use the company’s very own Multi Tool Oil. Victorinox explains that the benefits of using this oil are that it has a neutral smell and taste, prevent’s the knife’s aging, protects your knife from corrosion, and it’s food safe.
q: How do I sharpen my Swiss Army Knife?
And finally, take a look at the sharpness of the various blades and saws in your knife. The truth is, a dull blade is extremely dangerous since you often have to use more force to do the same amount of work as well the blade is sharp. That excess force can lead to accidents, tears, and even cuts. If the edge is straight, or non-serrated, the easiest way to sharpen it is to use a sharpening whetstone and scrape the blade edge against it at a 10 to 20-degree angle. To hone a serrated edge, take the sharpening stone and scrape it across the flat edge of the serrated blade at the same angle. There are, of course, tools available to help you sharpen the blades more efficiently, but discussing their use is beyond the scope of this guide.
q: How old should a child be before getting their first Victorinox knife?
The truth is, owning a knife for the first time depends more on the maturity level of the child, and not the age. It is also a parental decision, and one that takes into account a few different factors, such as whether or not the child needs to be supervised with the knife, whether the child understands the dangers inherent in a knife, and most importantly, what to do if something goes wrong or they get hurt.
When you’re considering buying a knife for your child, make sure both you and the child understand that a knife is not a toy, and should not be treated as such. If you sincerely feel that your child has the understanding, and physical capability to handle a knife correctly, then, by all means, help them to purchase one.

this knife was named the knife of the year 2007 and with very good reason. designed specifically for use by rescue workers and first responders, this is one knife that not only has the ability to withstand the great outdoors but has the ability to help you survive it as well.
the included tools on this particular knife are truly varied and will certainly help you when you're in a dire situation. they include a one-handed serrated locking blade, a window breaker, a strong screwdriver with crate opener, a disc saw, phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener, a wire stripper, a reamer, a seat belt cutter, tweezers, a toothpick, and luminescent handles to make it easy to keep track of. essentially, every tool and every function are designed to help those helping others in trouble get out safely.
perhaps one of the drawbacks of this particular knife is that not every tool contained within it is easy to use by someone who is unfamiliar with it. while the bottle opener and window breaker are fairly straightforward in their use, the disc saw and the crate opener may take a few tries to get the hang of it. if you choose this pocket knife, we suggest that you spend a bit of time practicing with it for when the time comes.
despite its many parts, this particular tool is one of the most durable in this particular list, provided that they are well maintained and cared for. so if you take this knife out into the field, be sure to do regular maintenance on it to keep it in prime condition.
while not every tool will be used by every person, this is a great and practical knife to have in an emergency. also, the size may be a bit too large for some pockets. it’s a case of knowing that you’ll have what you need in an emergency and that perhaps makes it one of the most practical knives around.
designed in collaboration with rescue workers and first responders, this knife shows a good level of craftsmanship. the tools are created out of stainless steel and formed with swiss precision. this is one knife that will most likely outlive its 25-year warranty.
whether you're in the great outdoors or driving on your way to work, the victorinox swiss army rescue tool may just be the knife that can save your life. while not every tool will be used, having what you need to help keep yourself safe is a great thing indeed.
if you’re looking for a knife from victorinox that is a great choice for use in camping, hiking, boating, and hunting, the swiss army evo grip 18 should certainly be on your list. designed to be used in a variety of situations, this is one knife that is a great addition to your outdoor adventures.
this particular knife includes eleven different implements, that can be used to provide fifteen different functions. these include a 2.5-inch locking blade, a nail file, a pair of serrated edge scissors, a can opener, a bottle opener, both large and small screwdrivers, a wood saw, and a phillips screwdriver.
overall this knife is fairly easy to use, with each of the tools accessible with either two-handed or one-handed operation. the locking mechanism for the blades can be somewhat difficult for right-handed users to operate, but other than that, use is fairly straightforward.
with the exception of the outer grips and shell, this particular knife is just as durable as the others on this list. thankfully, the entire knife does fall under warranty, and the victorinox company is well known for their commitment to their customers and their satisfaction.
if you love the outdoors, this is a great choice since nearly every tool can be used at one time or another in your adventures. it may be a bit much for those who choose to stay closer to home, but if your grand adventure takes you to far off places, this is a great overall choice.
while still a step above most other brands, this particular victorinox knife doesn’t quite have the level of craftsmanship seen in other knives on this list. while the interior portions are well made and fit together nicely, the out covering and grips tend to become slightly looser with age and frequent use.
while not as durable as we would like in the outer portions, the victorinox swiss army evo grip 18 is still a powerhouse of practicality and function. it would certainly be a welcomed addition to your next outdoor adventure.
if you’re spending any amount of time on the waves, either at your local lake or the high seas, the victorinox skipper is one knife that you should consider putting as your first mate.
designed with the avid fisherman and boater in mind, this knife from victorinox includes a large serrated locking blade, a shackle opener with marlin spike, pliers with wire cutting ability, a wire crimper, and a phillips screwdriver to round out the list.
while many of the functions in this knife need two hands to open and close, the overall use of the knife is fairly straight forward. it was clearly designed for efficient and easy use.
while not the most durable on this list, it is certainly a very sturdy option that can withstand life in a tackle box or on a sailing boat quite easily.
if you like to spend a great deal of time on the water, this is a great choice in a knife. you’ll have the tools you need to get the job done. however, not many of the tools can be used outside of that environment.
with it's relatively straight forward, yet specialized design, the victorinox skipper is a great example of what swiss craftsmanship can do when asked to address the specific needs of a specific community. the stainless steel and housing both measure up to very exacting standards, and the overall feel of it is very pleasant indeed.
if it’s a sailor’s life for you, the victorinox skipper can be an able-bodied assistant to your crew. filled with tools that are a great use for fishing and boating, this is one knife you’ll want to have on the high seas.
if you’re looking for a sentinel of a knife, the victorinox centurion is one that should be at the top of your list.
this knife includes many of the tools that you would use every day including a large blade, can and bottle openers, screwdriver, wire stripper, and reamer. it also includes tweezers and a toothpick, making this knife a great choice for every day carry no matter what your situation is.
with the exception of the one-handed blades detailed on this list, the centurion is perhaps one of the most straightforward folding knives we reviewed. while it doesn’t have absolutely everything we would have liked to see, it still packs a punch when it comes to ease of use.
durability is one area where this knife really shines. designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor and indoor use, it includes an acid-resistant plastic and aluminum handle that protects the stainless steel components quite well.
at a practical level, this is one of those knives that you’ll be returning to again and again to use. featuring tools that make your life easier in a package that is hard to break make this choice a true companion for the average person.
the centurion is one of those knives that is simple in its design and nearly flawless in the execution of it. the tools are easy to use, the overall look is precise and clean, and there is little chance of it breaking due to overuse because of the care taken in building it.
if you’re looking for a practical workhorse to help you in your everyday tasks, the victorinox centurion is a great overall choice. while it doesn’t have all the features that an avid outdoorsman would employ, it’s still a great place to start.
feel the need to carry a toolbox in your pocket? the victorinox swiss army trekker multi-tool may just be what you’re hankering for.
this particular knife is filled almost to capacity with different implements and tools, making it both one of the most useful knives to have around. it includes a large blade with a locking option, can opener, small screwdriver, wood saw, bottle opener, large screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, screwdriver, a toothpick, and tweezers.
overall this entry into our list is about average on the ease of use scale. there are certainly others, such as the evo grip 18 and the electrician that are far easier to use, but when it comes to other tools on the market today it is overall much more usable and practical. the only other minor complaint we had was the overall weight. it may be a bit too hefty for some users.
overall the durability of this multi-tool is what we would expect from victorinox, taking into consideration the tools contained within and our overall design concerns. with proper care, it should last for many years to come.
in this case, practicality becomes a double-edged sword in a way. while the included tools are truly an asset when they are used, not everyone will use them. therefore, this is one entry where your lifestyle and what you’re using it for will come into play when thinking about the purchase.
while the swiss army trekker multi-tool is well made, the overall design could use a little bit of rethinking. the placement of some of the tools makes them harder to access.
if you’re looking for a great choice to make sure you can leave the toolbox at home, the swiss army trekker multi-tool is a great choice.
designed with the hunter in mind, this knife from victorinox is a great choice if enjoy spending time in the back country with only the animals, your wits and your weapon as your companions.
unlike the other knives on this list, the victorinox swiss army hunter pro contains just one tool, but it’s a remarkable one at that. this knife features a heavy gauge stainless steel locking blade that measures an effective 4 inches in length. it features the ability to open it one handed, as well as superior sharpness compared to other blades on this list.
with the thumb ring and easy to use one handed locking operation, you’ll be able to get this knife open in a flash and use it easily.
while there have been some issues with the housing and the blade tip in earlier versions of this knife, victorinox seems to have addressed them well enough to create a knife that withstands the rigors of the hunting life without too much trouble.
when it comes to cutting things, whether it’s rope animal hide, or plant life in the back country, this simple blade is truly all you need. however, we wouldn’t suggest using it for other tasks such as tightening a screw or breaking a window. its lack of other tools can be both a strength and a drawback depending on your needs.
with its straightforward and simple design, there is little that can hide the superior craftsmanship of this knife. the blade, as well as the housing, are solidly built, and chances are it will last for years to come.
the victorinox swiss army hunter pro pocket knife is a true vision in a simple, yet functional design. if you want something that will cut nearly anything, this is a great choice.
inspired by the knives issued to the german army, this knife is a great choice for the general outdoors enthusiast or the weekend warrior.
the included tools of this knife from victorinox include a serrated locking blade, a phillips screwdriver, a wood saw, a bottle opener, can opener, and both a large and small screwdriver.
each of the tools in this knife is fairly easy to access and use.
with proper care and maintenance, this knife will last for decades under normal use conditions. however, if you envision working in harsh environments, or putting this knife through serious abuse, you might want to consider some of the other options on this list.
when it comes to usability and practicality in the field, the victorinox one hand trekker is a fairly good choice. the tools are practical and easy to use and should last with proper care through most average outdoor environments.
for all practical purposes, the craftsmanship of this knife measures up to industry standards and will last you for a fairly long time. however, there are quite a few on this list that have a better overall design and workmanship.
if you’re a weekend warrior that loves to camp, hike and explore the great outdoors at a comfortable pace, the victorinox one-hand trekker german army is a great choice. however, if you expect to be more extreme in your adventures, you might want to consider other options.
the best victorinox knives are well known for being practical tools that can be used just about anywhere, and help you in numerous situations that you may find yourself in. one of the reasons for this universal usability is the fact that most of these pocket knives come with a wide array of tools. from the classic single-edge knife blade to a plastic toothpick, there are countless tools to use.
but it’s not only about what tools are offered in each of these knives. it’s also about practicality and functionality. having a saw blade is all well and good, but in order to be practical, it needs to be able to cut through things with relative ease. scissors that don’t cut adequately after a few uses don’t really serve you well in a pinch. and a phillips screwdriver that doesn’t allow you to use it in many cases because of where it is on the knife doesn’t help all that much either.
thankfully, except for a few instances, mostly involving the phillips head screwdriver, these knives from victorinox all offer the tools that most people use on a daily basis and some tools that certainly help out in a pinch or emergency situations.
let’s face it; unless the knife is easy to use, chances are it won’t be used. whether it’s opening or closing the knife blade, pulling out the tweezers, or angling the flathead screwdriver to get into a tight place, there are numerous situations where these knives offer a practical usability that is hard to match.
there are exceptions, of course. in some cases, such as the included corkscrew, the practicality of the tool and the ease of use just doesn’t seem to match up with the utilitarian nature of the knives from victorinox as a whole.
another aspect to consider when purchasing the best victorinox knife for you is how long it is going to last. these knives are meant to take abuse either in the heart of the city’s jungle or trekking through the forest behind your home. after all, these knives have a heritage of being used by the swiss military.
while the true durability of each particular knife varies with use and time, with proper care, each of the examples on this list should last for many years to come. there are some reports from consumers, of their knives lasting for decades, and only needing replacements due to being lost or stolen. nevertheless, it is no wonder why fans keep coming back to victorinox again and again, the durability of their products is undeniable.
and finally, it’s important to consider how practical the victorinox knife will be for the situations that you are most likely to face. in taking this into consideration, we look at what a typical outdoors enthusiast would be doing while using the knife. he might be gathering kindling for a campfire. she might be trying to tighten a tiny screw on her compass. a teenager might use the main blade as a way to scrape mud off of his shoe (a use we don’t recommend by the way if you want your knife to last as long as it can). in a more urban setting, these knives can be used to help set watches, do minor repairs to computer terminals and even cut up an apple into easy to eat slices. there are countless uses for these knives, and their practicality is certainly a very important factor when choosing the best one for your needs.
there are plenty of counterfeit victorinox knives out there. one of the company's best-known traits is the "snap" of tools when they fold back into place. another unique touch you can look for is an inscription on the largest blade. the inscription should read "victorinox swiss made."
most swiss army knives are banned from carry-on luggage. if the blade is smaller than 2.36-inches you can bring it on the plane with you in in the cabin, whether it be in your personal item, pocket, or carry-on luggage.
having their start in the late 1800s, the victorinox company has built a reputation for its high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. designed with military precision and swiss accuracy, the best knives from victorinox are well known to stand the test of time.
while many of these knives are no longer manufactured in switzerland, the pride and demanding nature of the company to produce high-quality knives hasn’t lessened at all. they still use high-quality materials, skilled craftsman, and artisans. in addition, with newer technology, and the ability to expand their manufacturing into a global scale, they are able to offer this quality at a much more reasonable price than before.
q: is it an everyday knife?
in certain areas of the country, there are laws concerning what knives you are allowed to carry on your person based primarily on the blade length, and whether or not it is a foldable design. in addition, some of the knives presented here are entirely too large to carry around in a pocket or even in a purse.
so when choosing your next victorinox knife, it’s important to consider if you’re going to be carrying it every day, and how you will be carrying it as well. thankfully, most of the knives presented here are compact enough and small enough to meet the laws of the area as well as the practicality of everyday carry. there are a few exceptions, of course. for example, the swiss army ranger wood 55 knife is probably a bit too large to fit in the pocket, but it can easily be worn on a belt.
q: how and when can it be used?
this is perhaps one of the most important subjects to think about when purchasing your next victorinox knife. how and when you see yourself using it will ultimately help you determine what type of knife you buy. do you see yourself using it sparingly, such as cutting up a piece of fruit, or maybe turning a loose screw or two? then a knife with a slimmer line and fewer tools, such as the victorinox electrician may be all that you need. however, if you see yourself using multiple tools, especially in a more wilderness environment, something like the one-handed german army trekker knife, with its one-handed ease of opening and serrated locking blade might serve you better.
q: how should i clean my knife?
first, if you so happen to buy a victorinox knife that has electronics make sure to remove its batteries before getting started. next, you have a couple of options. you can either simply inspect your knife for dirt and debris and gently clean it off with a soft towel and warm water. or , if you find that your knife is a little bit more dirty and stiff, you can place it in a bowl of warm water. once it is in the water, open and close all of the parts until they move smoothly. finally, once your knife is 100% dry and clean, you will want to place a mall amount of oil between the blades.
q: how do i oil my victorinox knife?
first, have a look at how easily the tools can be pulled into their open position. are some of them stiff, or slow moving? or perhaps they get “stuck” half way through the motion? all three of these characteristics can become unsafe and lead to dangerous situations. in these cases, lubrication is most likely needed. while a standard knife oil will suffice, victorinox offers a multi-tool oil that is specifically designed for their merchandise, and it actually works quite well.
when placing the oil on your knife, you place a very small drop of it in between the blades and blades, tool casing, and any other friction points.
q: what oil should i use to clean my swiss army knife?
it is suggested by victorinox that you use the company’s very own multi tool oil. victorinox explains that the benefits of using this oil are that it has a neutral smell and taste, prevent’s the knife’s aging, protects your knife from corrosion, and it’s food safe.
q: how do i sharpen my swiss army knife?
and finally, take a look at the sharpness of the various blades and saws in your knife. the truth is, a dull blade is extremely dangerous since you often have to use more force to do the same amount of work as well the blade is sharp. that excess force can lead to accidents, tears, and even cuts. if the edge is straight, or non-serrated, the easiest way to sharpen it is to use a sharpening whetstone and scrape the blade edge against it at a 10 to 20-degree angle. to hone a serrated edge, take the sharpening stone and scrape it across the flat edge of the serrated blade at the same angle. there are, of course, tools available to help you sharpen the blades more efficiently, but discussing their use is beyond the scope of this guide.
q: how old should a child be before getting their first victorinox knife?
the truth is, owning a knife for the first time depends more on the maturity level of the child, and not the age. it is also a parental decision, and one that takes into account a few different factors, such as whether or not the child needs to be supervised with the knife, whether the child understands the dangers inherent in a knife, and most importantly, what to do if something goes wrong or they get hurt.
when you’re considering buying a knife for your child, make sure both you and the child understand that a knife is not a toy, and should not be treated as such. if you sincerely feel that your child has the understanding, and physical capability to handle a knife correctly, then, by all means, help them to purchase one.

In education, the desire to stay up-to-date with technological conveniences – such as providing online access to forms and other education documents – can clash with budget realities.
You're urged to "do more with less" – improve staff efficiency while maintaining a high level of service for students. On top of all that, you still have to comply with government reporting requirements or generate education documents to achieve or maintain accreditation.
Document automation software provides any organization – from preschool to higher education, public or private – the ability to generate customized education related documents on-demand. However, even if you find the money in the budget, you need to consider those other "hidden" costs, like implementation time and the learning curve.
can be accomplished using features that people are already familiar with. This significantly reduces the time needed to learn a new tool.
When you generate an education document from the template, Docmosis replaces the placeholders with the data relevant to the recipient of the document.
One of the most useful Docmosis features, when generating education documents, is the ability to easily format and display tabular data.
Docmosis handles with ease the trickier parts of alignment in tables, such as ticks and crosses or percentages and numbers with decimal points. Supported table formatting features, such as shaded rows and varying border thicknesses, make tables easier to read and more attractive.
The end result is that generated documents are more likely to be correctly structured which in turn reduces risk and enhances compliance.
Docmosis is used in eduation in many different ways, such as the University of Toronto's Student Information System, the Ohio State University's Division of Human Genetics, and by government departments like the The Education Department of Western Australia to produce student reports for all the public state schools.

Abstract The low latitude ionospheric data observed by digisonde at Hainan station (19.5 degrees N, 109.1 degrees E) in a whole solar activity cycle period from 2002 to 2012 within Ap < 20 have been analyzed to explore the diurnal, seasonal, annual variations and solar activity dependences of the ionospheric peak parameters (foF2, hmF2, and Chapman scale height Hm), as well as some quantitative comparison with IRI-2012 modeling predictions. The results show that the winter anomaly in the daytime foF2 appears at different levels of solar activity. The semiannual anomaly in the daytime and nighttime foF2 with two maxima in equinox seasons is present. The foF2 have a close correlation with a solar activity factor F107P = (F107 + F107A)/2 and the correlation coefficients (r) in their diurnal variation are around 0.7. The slope of foF2 varying with F107P in daytime is usually smaller than in nighttime. The afternoon and evening hmF2 show good correlation with F107P (their r values exceed 0.6), but hmF2 at other time are low or poor related to F107P. The prominent character of hmF2 in equinox and summer seasons is its strong increase at sunset in high solar activity period, which may be due to pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) of local electric field. We also note that hmF2 values around midnight slightly decrease with increasing F107P index in equinox seasons. The diurnal variation of Hm usually has two peaks around noontime and pre-sunrise. The daytime Hm has an annual variation with maximum in summer and minimum in winter. Moreover, the dependence of the daytime Hm on solar activity is not strong due to meridional wind and other factors. The above results over Hainan are considerably different from those reported over Millstone Hill, which is attributed to their different geomagnetic locations. The quantitative results compared between IRI-2012 model predictions and observations show that the predicted foF2 values are basically underestimated and the magnitude of their deviations obviously increases with increasing solar activity. The predicted hmF2 obtained with measured M(3000)F2 inputs in low and moderate solar activity agree well with the observed ones. However, their deviations in high solar activity are significantly magnified. (C) 2016 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A week ago I woke up and decided to drive to South Carolina. This is what I do now. Drove through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee. Couldn’t bear another dinner of roadside fast food, so I got off the interstate, searching for a historic district and an interesting place to eat. Downtown was empty and streetlight haze-dark and I wandered back to the strip of chain restaurants and ate a disappointing burrito.
Quiet man with a soft Tennessee drawl in a Super 8 late at night, says they have Wifi throughout the hotel. Room seems 20 years from a decent renovation, somewhere tucked into the beginnings of the Great Smokey Mountains. Faded hotel with worn-out towels and free wireless internet, some strange collision of the future and the stubborn past.
The mountains become the Piedmont and I’m in the South. Shuttered beachwear shops and me in short-sleeves in late January. Coastal community along the Intracoastal Waterway. Borrowing my aunt’s condo, sitting empty for a few weeks, cousin Mary two doors down.
Spend my time reading Martin McDonagh plays, watching DVDs of the glory years of The Simpsons, and trying, trying, trying to write something decent. Ponder where the new one should go, tinker with the structure of an old one, trying to raise the stakes, deepen the dramatic conflict. Mostly failing. Hand is still numb, feet and heart want to take me back out on the road, hop from place to place and explore the different villages and communities.
Myrtle Beach, a canyon of mid-century beach hotels, packs of Snowbirds mixing with seedy clumps of men strolling along the strip. Shabby chic of Pawleys Island and a deserted beach. Deluxe shopping center tucked inside an ancient forest of Southern Pine and Palm. Upper Strand vs. the Lower Strand. Egrets and herons and an occasional lone hawk circling overhead. Old ladies drinking rum in an outdoor bar on an overcast day. New York voices eating liver and talking about Indian Wells Golf Club.
The deli at the nearby grocery store had Lebanon bologna in the case, Pennsylvania Dutch-style salami. Something from my youth, and my ancestors from the Lancaster County days. Guy behind the counter says he’d never heard of it until a few years ago, but they started carrying it to feed the Yankees that all come down here on holiday. It’s pretty bland-tasting, nothing like the Weavers brand Grandma would order by mail decades ago.
It’s been cold here, relatively speaking, but nothing like what’s been going on back home. There are beaches, but no downtowns, no sidewalks, really. A short boardwalk along the marsh lined with empty restaurants with names like “Bovine’s” and “Drunken Jack’s.” People seem in pretty short supply around here.
In a few weeks the Canadians will come, I am told. They come here every year around this time. It’s too far to drive to Florida.

A home is one of life’s most important purchases. Before committing to a purchase it makes sense to learn as much as possible about any property you wish to acquire. Understanding the important differences between an appraisal and a home inspection will help you to obtain detailed information about the home’s value and condition.
An appraisal allows the lending institution to determine if the property being purchased is suitable as security for a mortgage. For conventional mortgages, a lender will in most cases require that a professional third party assess the property to ascertain its current market value. In the case of a “high-ratio” mortgage (with a down payment of less than 20 per cent), the mortgage insurer will go through its own internal appraisal process. In particular, lenders and insurers are concerned that the property (in terms of its age, condition, and remaining economic life) constitutes a good match with the borrower and their ability to repay the mortgage. An appraisal does not usually include a detailed property inspection.
A home inspection is not used to determine property value, but will provide an assessment of the physical condition of a property. A well-trained home inspector will perform a comprehensive visual inspection to determine the condition of the building and all of its major systems (for example the roof, structural, heating, plumbing and electrical systems). While an appraisal is intended to provide the lender with sufficient information to decide on mortgage financing, a home inspection will hopefully reveal to a potential homebuyer whether the building and its systems are in sound working order. If there are outstanding issues, a good inspector will provide the potential purchaser with a schedule outlining the estimated costs and when these repairs will need to be completed.

Compare quotes. Be sure that your specialist is offering you a competitive price.
Make sure your specialist can fit in with your timetable. Also confirm the timeframe for the installation.
Inspect your new floor material before it’s installed. Make sure you’ve got what you wanted and there are no faults or flaws.
Clear all furniture, wall hangings and furnishings from the room. Even large standing bookshelves and cabinets should be removed. If you have large pieces of furniture, make sure you have help to remove them.
Plan your timetable carefully. Leave a few days between your flooring installation and any other job.
Ensure the room can remain clear while the installation is underway. Try and keep children and pets from entering.
Do not move furniture back in until your flooring specialist advises. Heavy objects can damage a new floor.
Remember to vacuum a newly laid carpet. It will inevitably be dusty from storage and transit.
Try to walk on your new floors without shoes for a while. This will keep carpets cleaner for longer, and will give polished surfaces more time to set.
Flooring is crucial to a room. Consider some training or reading on the subject.
Always buy more material than you expect to use.
Check and re-check all of your measurements.
Don’t buy a pattern or material that is too rarified or discontinued. If something goes wrong with your installation, you will need to be able to purchase more.
When mixing resins and chemicals for parquetry, make sure your ratios are perfect. A poorly mixed finish can result in unsightly bubbling or warping.
If you’re handling chemicals, make sure you do so in a well-ventilated environment, preferably with a mask and gloves. These chemicals can be very toxic to humans.
When laying carpet, be extremely careful and precise with the placement of your nails. A poorly placed nail can be very dangerous.
When laying linoleum flooring, be sure to flatten any warps or bubbles.
Take your time. Do not rush the task. You may be walking on these floors for years to come, or perhaps selling your home, so you will want the best possible result.
