Victorinox Huntsman Swiss Army Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, Camping Knife, 15 Functions, Large Blade, Bottle Opener, Red

Last year I previously purchased a Victorinox Huntsman to use for whittling wood and other small woodwork projects. I am very impressed with this penknife, so impressed, in fact, that I got another for my Mum, who is a Forest Skills Teacher. The compact design as well as the well thought out positioning of the tools means that this was the perfect penknife in the price range I was looking at.Pro's+ Wide array of tools that are all useful - None of the silly ones that are useless and just make it bulkier and heavier such as a magnifying glass.+ Lightweight and compact - Takes up next to no extra room in my rucksack+ Very durable - I've had mine for over a year and I can't see any signs of wear and tear.+ Well made - None of the tools get jammed or stuck like they do with cheaper alternatives+ Blades come very sharp - Blades are super sharp right out of the boxCon's- Blades become less sharp quite quickly when working with wood – Regular sharpening may be required- The keyring is too small - You need to use another split ring if you want to attach it to anything- Dirt, dust and little bits get stuck between the tools and can be hard to clean, but this is the same with all penknivesI have used this penknife in my survival kit and I have taken it out into the forest to try it out in a real-life survival situation. It performed very well whenever I used it, and my only complaint is that if I hadn’t have had my knife sharpener with me, towards the end of the day it would have started to take a bit longer to cut through things like rope, twine, small sticks and carve bigger bits of wood. However, this is something that will occur on all knives, so I wouldn’t worry about it.For just over £20, with this penknife it is hard to go wrong. I would recommend going with a trusted brand like Victorinox as you can be assured good quality, as I have previously purchased cheap penknives which jam, go blunt and break very easily. In terms of the tools, this penknife comes loaded with all the tools you will need. I found the saw especially useful, as it can cut through thin sticks (up to about an inch thick) very quickly with not too much effort. The fact that there are two different sized blades is very useful when doing woodwork as when the primary blade is too big, there is a smaller alternative.This penknife is the perfect size. The handle is thick enough to get a good grip, whilst not being unnecessarily wide. Just to clear up any confusion, it has on it: A corkscrew, a hook (which is surprisingly useful), a wire stripper, a punch tool, a large 2 ½ inch blade, a small 1 ½ inch blade, a wood saw, scissors, a bottle opener and a can opener. One thing I would have liked to have seen is a Philips screwdriver, but this is not a big problem as there is a 3mm slotted screwdriver on top of the can opener and a 6mm slotted screwdriver on the bottle opener.This knife is perfect for wood workers, but if you don’t need all the features of this Swiss Army Knife, then the Spartan and Climber are also both solid options, but bear in mind neither of these include a saw. If you want more tools, the Mini Champ and the Handyman are also available, but with more tools comes a wider handle, and the Handyman is very fat, meaning it could be too big for smaller projects.In conclusion, I would recommend this Swiss army knife to anyone who would like a reliable, durable, all-round penknife, as this has all the tools you need for general jobs either in the house or at the workbench.

This is not my number one carry as I prefer a slightly bigger multi tool with a set of pliers, but it's a great knife for functional Vs size to just slip into a pocket and forget it's there.The knife is instantly recognised as a tool rather than a weapon and is not offensive to whip out on a picnic bench to slice fruit, tighten the odd screw or get a stone out of your boot tread ect.I regularly use most of the tools and it's made of a quality steel as you would expect from the brand. I have actually used the tin opener and it was quite impressive for the simplicity. The saw is small but cuts well and scissors are sharp but a little small. The blade slices well and keeps an edge but it's only for light work as expected but you could do some light bush craft or make a fire with it if needed. I've added the pin and a small magnet that sits on the corkscrew.This is a perfect companion knife for walking or light ad-hoc foraging.

Great product and at a really good price 👍

Excellent.

Very well made and versatile set of tools

Just as advertisedLovely boyscout's knife for adults

This is what I always wanted, It is a good size to have in your pocket at all times, as I do, but has enough on it to be useful with lots of problems... I have yet to use the saw, but everything else has come in handy many times. One thing I really wish was included was a smaller screwdriver, as I am always tinkering with electronics and computers, and the flat head screwdrivers on the can and tin opener, are just not sufficient... I would prefer to have the screwdrivers instead of the saw and hole maker, right most tool on the bottom of the picture, but except for that one moan, everything is perfect. Knives are weirdly sharp, in the first week of owning it you will keep finding cuts on your hands wondering where it came from... but eventually you get used to using it =] Recommend for all! also for UK users, this is LEGAL to carry with you, but just make sure you don't ever contemplate using it as a weapon, because then you can be done for carrying a weapon with intent for using it. The size of the blades means its legal to carry as it isn't over the 8cm max size.Recommend everyone has one, it will help you in so many situations =]
