Review: Can't say enough about this model SAK, but I'll try. - This knife is available in the Wenger design and this Victorinox "hybrid" design. Victorinox bought Wenger some time back and now, both produce this model. The all-Wenger model has the brand name embedded at the bottom of the scales. BTW, those are not just stick-on grippy surfaces, they are recessed into the handles and the grip-tops are flush with the celador scales. The feel, in either direction, is just the berries. The ergonomics are simply awesome. At the moment, this model is the absolute favorite of about 7 SAKs that I own. Both the Wenger and Victorinox models are the same size & weight and have the same tool set, but I like this Victorinox better. First, it just looks and feels fantastic. The yellow is not as "bright" as appears in pictures, think that's the lighting. The primary "best thing" is that it has all the best of the Wenger tools (who originally designed and produced it) and all the best of Victorinox tools wherever they would be an "upgrade". I'll digress a moment here to say that I think the Victorinox tools are, when speaking generally; better. But it's not the case 100% of the time, and there's a few places where Wenger tools do come out ahead. But on this model, wherever Victorinox had the better tool, it went in. Wherever Wenger had it right, their design stayed. Here's the run-down: The awl/reamer is just a pointy, unsharpened spike on the Wenger model. Yeah, it'd work, but the Victorinox has the eyelet, is sharpened, and has a hollow grind on one side. The Victorinox reamer is simply better and it was incorporated. The Wenger toothpicks are sharper, but also shorter and a bit flimsier. WIth the tweezers, it's less clear, the Wenger is spot-welded & doesn't have the plastic tip. If the tip is the only thing connecting the two sides on the Victorinox, the Wenger might win this, but I can't tell. I think the plastic tip aids in getting it out and in handling. Additionally, the Victorinox seats their location (on all models, as far as I know) on the outside of the scales. I think they are easier to access from there, but I understand those who feel the Wenger design preserves more of the round edge look of the scales. I prefer the Victorinox designs and location, and both are replaced by Victorinox versions on this model. The saw is still Wenger, and the tip has more of a downward drop that might help keep it from pulling it all the way out of the cut you're making. Probably an advantage and disadvantage, but the difference is so minimal that I just don't think it matters. The Wenger main blade was kept and has a little more belly to it making the cutting length just slightly longer. But, like the saw, this difference is too minimal to factor in. I'd consider it a plus if I considered it at all. Same steel I believe. But, unlike [maybe all] the Victorinox models in this size category, the blade locks. I love that. They do make a non-locking version, the 18 - no "S", Some will mind the push-button style release, and I get their arguments, but having edc'd this model for a many weeks now, I have zero beef with it. Another example is the flat head screwdriver. The Wenger design has in an internal lock to it. If pushed hard, when you're really bearing down on a tight screw, the blade moves inward, very slightly on a spring. It recesses into the knife and engages a lock. Won't close up on you. Locks on it's own when pressed on firmly. Wenger design, very slick. Lastly, the can opener: for no valid reason I prefer the cut-away-from-you design of the Victorinox model. It's what I've always had/used. Either works fine, I've compared the two. It's personal preference only, but I do prefer the Victorinox design for another reason besides familiarity. There's a more significant trade off in my opinion: The Wenger can opener doubles as an excellent box-blade which can cut cargo tape and open boxes very well with a pull stroke. That's a very handy "second blade", sort of - it's not sharpened to a honed edge but works well for things like this. That's "two-tools-in-one" for the Wenger can opener. That said, the Victorinox can opener also has a small flat head driver on it, but this also doubles as a small 2D phillips driver. That's "three-tools-in-one" for the Victorinox. For me, the Victorinox wins there too, and I'm glad that Victorinox version replaced the Wenger version there as well. In all, at least four tools were were replaced with the Victorinox versions on this model. Oh, the scissors: I like the Wenger design better and it was retained. The spring design is feels sturdier and the blades have micro-serrations. One would think the serrations a drawback until they go to cut a cable tie. The Wenger hangs on and bites into slipperier things like that. The Victorinox kind of "pushes" things away. Definitely makes a difference. Either will cut paper so I give the advantage to Wenger here and it too, was retained. All this leaves out the scales, the shape of which (I think) is a Wenger design. The ergos of the shape and inlays are just fabulous. I do wish the scales were mated flush with the tools on the bottom like all my other Victorinox knives are, but I can over look the small overlap to gain the rest of the awesomeness of the Wenger grip design (now incorporated in several Victorinox patterns, overlap and all). This knife is still available in the all-Wenger design and also in this "hybrid" Victorinox-branded model. I'm glad I chose it and I think it's better for all the reasons I just went through. I wish neither one of them had the nail file, would prefer a second small blade instead. That said, the tip of the nail file doubles as a #1 2D Phillips driver often enough to be useful. I've also used it to pry molded plastic parts apart without having to dull my knife blade. You dads opening toy battery covers know what I'm talking about. This knife has replaced my other models for weekday edc (Every Day Carry). Very easy to carry in work slacks. I still opt for the stoutness of my Hercules model on weekends when I have jeans or cargo shorts with heavier fabric and deeper pockets, and I'm not driving so much where the fabric pulls tighter on the leg. I absolutely love this model and heartily recommend it to anyone trying to buy "the one" Swiss Army Knife to edc. I live in the sticks and use the saw, but if you're not likely to need that, I believe the S16 is the same model without the saw. It'll be a bit thinner & lighter and is also available in a non-locking version, the 16. All in all I completely recommend the S18 (or 16) and would opt for the Victorinox version first. 3 YEAR UPDATE: Of all the SAK's I own, this would still be the last to go if I had to surrender them one at a time. I have changed over to carrying my Explorer model at the office, however, as I find the tool set more suited to an office environment. That said, I still feel the S18 has the best 'over-all' tool set if confining my choice to only one SAK. The rubber grips have held up just fine and there's been no issues around reliability at all - which holds true for my other SAK's as well. A testament to the brand. My S18 is still found in my pocket every weekend, and more, without fail. Other than routine sharpening (ceramic rod) and a little oil, it gets nothing but use. Still offer my sturdiest of recommendations to this model. Review: Good Feature Set and High Value - The Victorinox Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife arrived with the knife blade sharp out of the box, not shaving sharp, but sharp enough for everyday use. I stropped the blade, and it became very sharp. I like the blade locking feature of this knife as it adds a degree of safety when cutting. All the various tools functioned normally as typical for all Victorinox SAKs. However, the scissors appear to be the Wenger carryover design, and the nail nick is partially hidden behind the knife locking release lever making them a little inconvenient to access. The scissors function okay, but they do not cut as well as the original Victorinox designed scissors. The other tools work very well for their intended use. I like the shape, size, and texturing of the knife scales...really good ergonomics. The knife is a bit shorter, which I like, than a comparable Victorinox designed model. The knife is lightweight and easy to carry. The tool set is comprehensive for everyday use. Construction quality is very good. Overall I like this knife very much, and I plan on making the Evolution S18 Grip one of my EDC knives. ## Features - The perfect everyday tool to saw wood or strip wire - Swiss made stainless steel construction encased in our popular scales offers a slimmer profile and is extremely resistant - Blade type lock blades - Handle material cell ID or Polished with rubber grips ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KNO2JL6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,362 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #88 in Camping Folding Knives | | Brand | Victorinox | | Brand Name | Victorinox | | Color | Yellow/Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,372 Reviews | | Drive System | Centre Drive | | Folded Size | 3.34 inches (L) x 0.9 inches (H) x 1.25 inches (D) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046928044153, 07611160123336 | | Included Components | Knife, Saw, Screwdriver, Can Opener | | Item Dimensions | 3.31 x 0.75 x 0.7 inches | | Item Length | 3.3 inches | | Item Type Name | Medium Pocket Knives | | Item Weight | 3.3 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3.31 x 0.75 x 0.7 inches | | Manufacturer | Victorinox Swiss Army | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2.4913.SC8-X3 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Victorinox provides a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 2.4913.SC8-X3 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 046928044153 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Victorinox - **Color:** Yellow/Black - **Item Weight:** 3.3 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3.31 x 0.75 x 0.7 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wood Saw - Yellow/Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LlC8-vsVL.jpg) ![Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wood Saw - Yellow/Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A16f35nsdSL.jpg) ![Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wood Saw - Yellow/Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1GfhmjBgIL.jpg) ![Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wood Saw - Yellow/Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RkijONswL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this knife have the tooth pick and tweezers?** A: Yes, the EvoGrip 18 includes the toothpick and tweezers. Amazon's catalog listing is missing that information and, for some reason, also has Victorinox's pre-production demo picture, which does not show them either (the production picture does). **Q: Does the blade lock?** A: No, the EvoGrip 11 does not feature a locking main blade. All Wenger pocketknives with locking blade will have an 'S' in the model name; for example: S11, S18, S557, etc. Note that all Wenger Ranger series knives have a locking main blade. **Q: Will the cork screw accept the micro screwdriver?** A: Yes. :-) **Q: Just to clarify. Does this model have a secondary blade as shown or a nail file as stated in the description?** A: It's a nail file not a second knife. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't say enough about this model SAK, but I'll try. *by M***K on October 3, 2015* This knife is available in the Wenger design and this Victorinox "hybrid" design.

It's a nice size for EDC and fits well in the pocket. In my opinion it has just about the perfect set of tools for day to day. The grip on the scales is a nice touch. The blade lock is in an awkward position but works well and is a nice feature. The only thing I wish the knife had was a pocket clip. Overall a great knife for the price and one that will help you out in almost any situation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Victorinox Evolution S18 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 15 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wood Saw - Yellow/Black - Victorinox - Victorinox 4.3323-X1 Pocket Knife Sharpener Perfect Portable Solution for Sharpening All Your Straight Blades in Black 9.1 inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/6599804-evolution-s18-grip-swiss-army-knife-15-functions-swiss-made](https://www.desertcart.de/products/6599804-evolution-s18-grip-swiss-army-knife-15-functions-swiss-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
