Excellent Tool

Rating:*****
An excellent knife, like almost all of the Victorinox Swiss Army knives. This one is more suited to camping and outdoors. The climber model with the scissors is probably a more appropriate knife for urban use.

Regarding the review below, the only people who think the saw blade is useless are those who've never used it. The swiss army saw is actually a very capable and useful saw. I've cut through 3 inch branches with ease. Also works great on crusty bread and ropes, cables and seat belt material. Definitely not a gimmick. Give it a try and you may be surprised.

Fun little saw

Rating:*****
At the campsite, my kid finds straight deadfall branches, then fashions them into walking poles. This saw works great for that task... he cuts little branch after little branch after little branch off of the big branch. A good tool for a kid at the campsite.

It's a good tool for him. Effective and hasn't worn out.

I also let him cut all the small Buckthorn trees (invasive) he can... and it goes them them easily.

Rest is all what you expect in an SA knife.

But seriously, who uses a corkscrew when camping?

Rating:*****
Awesome knife! I've always used cheap imitations, but this is the real thing! And now I see what all the fuss is about. Swiss Army makes class multi-purpose knives, and this one is no exception. I am absolutely astonished at the build quality, especially compared to others who try to copy this construction. The knife is real solid with a good weight to it. No useless tools on this baby! I have already used this knife everyday since I got it, and I don't worry if it'll hold up one bit because I have full confidence that it will!

Best first knife for campers

Rating:*****
I love this knife every time I go camping or hiking I use it. I think the best use of this knife is to whittle with it and to make shavings for a fire. The greatest things about this knife are the sharp blade and the saw. The only thing I dont like about it is that its hard to clean.

practical

Rating:*****
This is a great knife, but I prefer a locking blade. this is practical, but i wouldn't recommend this to a backpacker the saw is kinda bendy, but what can you say? its not like you want to cut down a tree with that thing. this is good for widdling.

"awesome basic tool"

Rating:*****
got one of these when i was in cub scouts... still have it... it has always proved usefull.... the saw always seems to be sharp... even after i have used it extensively.... and it is much easier to carry than the swiss champ that i have....

"It's a keeper for life"

Rating:****
I had a knife like this when I was 7. I used it on everything. The saw on this is sturdy enough to cut through 1.5 inch thick bamboo.

"Great."

Rating:*****
Sweet knife. Works great, lots of helpful additions to a basic swiss army knife. Classic design is also a plus. Highly recommended.

Great quality, saw not useful

Rating:***
As with all Victorinox Swiss Army knives, this is a quality product. Yet, I would recommend getting the Spartan version instead. The Spartan does not have the saw blade, which is pretty useless and just adds weight. (The Spartan is sometimes named the "camper", so there can be confusion.) I have owned a number of different Victorinox Swiss Army knives. As they get lost, stolen, or taken by airline security, I just buy another. I strongly recommend the Spartan, why carry the extra weight of gimmick blades that you will not use?
