Care Tips for Swiss Army Knives

The various tools of a Swiss Army Knife are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. To maintain Swiss Army Knives, use a 15°–20° angle whetstone for sharpening, or a cooling grinding wheel. Clean by opening and closing in warm water, then apply oil. Avoid dishwashers to prevent damage.

Functions at a Glance:

A large blade from a pocket knife slicing into an apple

Sharp Blade

This durable precision-honed sharpened edge makes clean, accurate cuts with resistance to corrosion. Be prepared for anything: cut your food, gut a fish, slice paper, carve your initials into a tree or whittle a piece of wood.

Scissors from a pocket knife cutting a cord keeping newspaper together

Scissors

Make tough cuts with strength and control. These scissors are always on hand and can be used for trimming leaves, cutting off tags, clipping coupons or emergency situations.

A screwdriver from a pocket knife repairing the back of a watch

Screwdriver

A versatile screwdriver that has everything the professional needs. It is designed to meet a variety of needs such as domestic appliances, furniture, automotive, factory, and everyday.

This Rambler is perfect. I've been carrying and using the Classic for decades because it's just so tiny and disappears in the pocket. Plus, the scissors... So handy, but I always wished for a Phillips on there. When I saw the Rambler, I bought it. Perfect small Victorinox in my opinion. The Phillips driver will fit everything from eyeglass size screws up to normal household size like in a doorknob.

    If you ever need a small Victorinox knife, this is it.

    It has only the essential tools—no mysterious tiny spoons, rarely used mini pens, or lights weaker than your phone screen.

    Another great option is the Jetsetter—same toolset, but knifeless and travel-safe.

    I’ve had several Swiss Army knives over the years. You can’t beat the build quality, or blade quality. They hold a great edge, and will handle lots of abuse. This little knife is the perfect little pocket knife. You wouldn’t believe how many times you’ll use the tweezers or scissors, and the blade is very sharp out of the box.

    Bought as a gift. Has everything you'd really need in a small form factor. A bit pricy nowadays but so is everything else. I received the swiss army knife in its holster with nothing else in the shipping envelope. Since it didn't have any packaging, it may not really be new. If buying as a gift, you should try other stores before 鶹.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comparison of My Favorite Swiss Army Knives
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I have bought and used several versions of the Swiss Army knives. There are plenty of reviews that cover the pros and cons of specific versions of the Swiss Army knives (SAK), so I thought what I would do in my review is cover some of the things I like (or don't like) about the different versions in case anyone is like me and trying decide WHICH SAK they want to by. I did a lot of research before I bought any of the versions and then, of course, personally tried out different versions. So, I thought I would share my experience and what I like and don't like.

    Naturally, when it comes to which SAK to buy, there are fundamental choices to be made about what size of SAK you want as well as what functionality. Obviously, that can be personal preference. So, while I'm not going to list the features of each type of SAK, I'll talk about why I like particular knives (or don't) comparing their feature based on my preferences. I think I'm probably fairly "typical", but if you have different preferences your opinions won't necessarily match mine, of course.

    I've divided my review up into "small", "medium", "medium plus", and large SAKs.

    Small SAK (Swiss Army Knife):

    Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knife
    Link: https://amzn.com/B000FNFXQS

    The Swiss Army Rambler is really amazing in that it gives me the items I by far use the most in a SAK so small it basically disappears in your pocket. There is fundamentally no difference in overall weight or feel to "how much stuff is my pocket" by adding this SAK. It gives me the scissors and blades, which are by far my two most commonly used items, as well as screwdriver, tweezers and toothpick, which I also use quite a bit. I don't use the bottle opener too much, but it's a nice core item to have as well.

    So, basically this knife gives me 90%+ of what I really use in a package so small I barely notice I'm carrying it. That's really hard to beat. If I wasn't greedy about wanting things on my every day carry (EDC) SAK (Swiss Army Knife), this would probably be the knife I use every day. As it stands, I mostly use this one when I have dress pants or otherwise less room than usual and one of the bigger ones when I'm jeans (for example).

    Victorinox Jetsetter 3 Pocket Knife
    Link: https://amzn.com/B00932EPYI

    I bought this for the obvious reason of it's a very small knife that can theoretically get you through TSA at the aiport. I thought having a pair of scissors and the screwdriver with me on trips would be nice. The problem is after reading reviews, I've never really had the motivation to try to get it through TSA security. While most people seem to be able to do it fine, it does seem to "draw attention" more than I'd really like according to other people's reviews. So, I've just never bothered to do it.

    Given that, I can't really give this version a fair review. If you want to get it scissors on a plane, it sounds like it works. I just haven't had the energy to test that theory when push came to shove.

    Medium SAKs:

    I'm also a big fan all of the knives in my "medium" category quite a bit. Which one works for you is really a matter of what features you want and if an additional feature is worth the, typically minor, increase in weight. These are 3 of my favorites.

    Victorinox Swiss Army Super Tinker Pocket Knife
    Link: https://amzn.com/B000MLU8PE
    This version is a great option for me. This has all the core items I use regularly as well as some I use less frequently in a size that fits in pocket without being distracted (although it doesn't "disappear" into my pocket like the smaller rambler does. It has large and small blades, scissors, multiple screwdrivers, tweezers, and toothpicks. So, all the core things that I really use the SAK for at a very reasonable size. I don't really notice it in my pocket, but it doesn't quite "disappear" in my pocket with my rambler. I think overall it's a great combination of functionality and size.

    Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster Pocket Knife (Red)
    Link: https://amzn.com/B00006IS69
    The main advantage to me of this one over the Super Tinker is it has the wood saw. While I don't use the wood saw often, I actually use it more than you would think and it works quite well. It is slightly larger than the Super Tinker (because of the saw), but I don't really notice the difference carrying it around. Whether or not you would like it over the tinker depends on how much you want a wood saw.

    Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red)
    Link: https://amzn.com/B0007QCOYM
    This is another excellent option in the "medium" size SAKs. It has a lot of the elements I really like about the Champ Plus: the eyeglass screwdrivers, the pen, the pin, the magnifying glass, but is not as bulky. Two key things missing from Champion Plus are fish scaler / ruler (which I don't care much about) and the wood saw (which actually I do like as I said earlier). While I like this one A LOT whether or not I use it compared to the Army Fieldmaster depends on if I'm in a wood saw mood or a magnifying glass, eyeglass screwdriver, pen, pin mood. It's also slightly bulkier than the Fieldmaster. I use this one most of the time when I'm not using my champ plus because I typically use things like the magnifying glass and pen more than the wood saw. Also, the screwdriver isn't the "T" screwdriver, which is a bit easier. I also like having an eyeglass screwdriver with me. So, if I had to recommend one SAK to someone, it is probably this one.

    Medium Plus SAK:
    Victorinox Champion Plus Knife
    Link: https://amzn.com/B0009KF4GG
    This is one I probably carry more than I should. I like it more than the Champ version (not listed in my review) because it doesn't have the pliers which add significant size and I personally find not very useful. The pliers are too small to get good torque. If I want pliers I end up pulling out a "real" set.

    It is of a size that it it is small enough to be an EDC (every day carry) tool, but really just barely in my opinion. It's noticeably bigger than the SAKs I have listed in my medium section, which is why I call it "medium plus". I notice when it's in my pocket, but it's not a nuisance...especially when I'm in jeans. The reason I like it so much is because it has all the cool stuff I want on my SAK and so I can carry it without making the choice I just talked about of do I want the wood saw or do I want the the magnifying glass, glass screwdriver, pen, and pin. With the Champion plus, I get them all! Basically, there isn't any feature I really want on my SAK that isn't on this version. So, I'm willing to put up with something that's a little larger to have the "all in one" feel to it that this has. At least, when I'm wearing jeans or maybe dockers. When I'm in pure dress pants, it's time for one of the smaller SAKs.

    Large SAK:
    Victorinox Swiss Army CyberTool 41 Translucent Pocket Knife (Translucent Ruby)
    Link: https://amzn.com/B000LKBHJM
    I'm not going to give this one a very long review, but basically it has absolutely everything I can imagine wanting even if I'm not really going to use it. :) So, I own it on the theory that rather than carrying it on my person (it's too big to carry regularly), it can sit in a drawer or a glove box and I can pull it out when I need it. The problem is, for me anyway, in practice that never happens. By the time I'm going to a drawer to pull out a tool, I can just pull out one of my normal screwdrivers (or whatever) so I do that instead. So, basically this one never gets used. But, I like the IDEA of it a lot. It's cool to own. :) If you are in a situation where you needing a smallish one size fits all tool that doesn't have to go in your pocket, I think this could be awesome.

    Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife
    by VictorinoxLink: https://amzn.com/B0001GS19U

    This SAK is basically the Champ Plus only with pliers. As I mentioned, I don't think terribly much of the pliers, but if I'm just throwing it in a drawer or a glove compartment and not trying to carry it around, why not have one with the pliers. :) I do own one I keep in my car for that reason. Too big to EDC for me.

    ----------------

    Summary: Which SAK you use depends on what you want in terms of size and features. But, to someone not sure, I'd recommend the Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer Plus Pocket Knife (Red) (Link: https://amzn.com/B0007QCOYM). It is a great combination of some of cool features that I use the most often. If want something really small, go with the rambler. If you can tolerate something a bit bigger, go with the Champ Plus. If you aren't going to carry it and stick it in a glove compartment or drawer, the Champ has everything really. :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent EDC tool
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I carry this knife in my front pocket every day. It's so light and thin it can't be noticed. But, when you need it, it's indispensable. The tool set is a great tradeoff between versatility and compactness. All of the tools are useful. Compared to the Victorinox Classic, the Rambler has the added bottle opener and phillips driver, at the expense of a slight increase in width and weight. The increase in width/weight is negligible; it's really not noticeable in the pocket. I find the phillips driver extremely useful. The bottle opener isn't really necessary because it's so easy to improvise ways to pop bottle caps off without a dedicated tool. But, it works well, and it's nice to have something quick on hand when people ask for a bottle opener. I used to carry a Leatherman Squirt, which is an excellent tool. But, I found that its weight was too noticeable and irritating in my pocket, even though it's a very small tool. The Rambler completely solved this problem. And, I found that the tweezers and toothpick are very useful (the Squirt doesn't have them). Losing the Squirt's pliers and wire cutters wasn't a big deal for my purposes; they were certainly useful, but not not strictly necessary to have in my pocket every day (I'll grab a full size pair of pliers/cutters when I need them). The build quality of the Rambler is excellent. The red scales get scratched up in the pocket, but that's part of the charm. My one complaint is that the pivot on the scissors has a slight sticking after opening to a certain point, which causes the spring not to push them open all the way. You can open them further by thumbing the lever, but if you rely on the spring, you'll always be cutting with the front 3/4 of the blades. I've examined two models and this seemed to be the case on both, so perhaps it's designed that way to prevent the scissors from flipping too far open. In practice it works fine, and the cutting action of the scissors is fantastic (much better than the Squirt). I find that the scissors are one of the most useful functions on a multitool, but something that many manufacturers mess up. If you want a pen instead of the toothpick, check out the Manager (but it comes at the cost of a slight increase in width over the Rambler).
