VictorinoxClimber Swiss Army Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, 14 Functions, Blade, Bottle Opener, Black

Fantastic quality, a true classic that never goes out of style. This particular model has most of what you will ever need and will last a lifetime. Nice size, fits easily in a pocket or purse, gave one to each of my kids, it holds a great edge and I've had one most of my life, including during my tour in the Marines.

As with all Victorinox products this knife is of excellent quality.

Sharp knife quality item good finish in black

Well made as always

It's not perfect but it's getting there.The scissors are not that big but they are very sharp and very effective, it easily cut my finger nails when I was waiting for the train yesterday.The bottle opener and the cap opener are not at good at as a usual opener and you have to concentrate to get it to work first time but they definitely work and there isn't much more to ask for. The cork screw is good and the body of the knife makes it easier to put the cork out but it isn't something you use much. All the other tools get their use but almost never.Onto the best part, the blades!(The big one is 2.4 inches/6cm and the small one is 1.4 inches/3.65cm) These two knifes are the sharpest knifes I have every used, true story! The blades are fantastically sharp straight out of the box. I think of this as a really good thing but there is a catch to it. It's dangerous to use if your not careful, I cut myself twice the first time I used it. This isn't something to put you off because you learn to use it properly from experience but I'm quite sure you'll cut yourself at least once if your not experienced with these knifes.For those of you in the UK, this is LEGAL to carry on person which means you can actually use it's usefulness in everyday life. For the price, this is a must get knife.

If the Victorinox Compacts price is hard to Justify, at basically half the price (at time of purchase) the climber is hard to ignore. Yes the Compact does have the 'Plus scales' and is a fantastic SAK maybe even the best. But you won't go wrong with the Climber and its additional blade. I've now added the 'Plus scales' to my climber along with the extra tools (pen and mini screwdriver etc) still came in cheaper than the Compact. Don't get me wrong I will still at some point purchase A 'compact' to add to the collection, but the climber is where it started and will be my go to SAK.

It has been used daily for periods of months with ease and pleasure.Almost all features tested except of hook.Expected quality from a Victor Inox Swiss knife.It’s my second one as first was given away.Essential for any hike/trek or adventurous holiday. Not to mention opening the odd bottle of red...Highly recommended.

Many reviewers have pointed out that you only ever replace these SAKs (Swiss Army Knifes) because they get lost! I whole heartedly agree, they exude quality workmanship each one going through over a 100 different processes at the Victorinox factory. The Climber is pretty much perfect as it has everything I need, if you are a more outdoors person I would go for the alox (aluminium) Farmer which replaces the scissors with the saw, it is also more rugged, unfortunately there's no current Alox model of similar size with scissors (unless you cannibalise a Climbers scissors and exchange it with the saw of the Farmer which although difficult is possible. there are dozens of combinations which I am still coming across, buy one you will probably use it every day!
