Product Description
The company that created the renowned Swiss Army knife in 1897 offers this 15-tool pocket knife toolbox for campers, hikers, hunters, fishers, and other outdoor lovers--plus a leather belt pouch at no additional charge. All tools neatly fold up inside a single implement sheathed in durable plastic that measures just 3-1/2 inches long and has a key ring on the end. Tools are all stainless-steel, except for a plastic toothpick. In addition to the toothpick, the tools comprise a large knife blade, small knife blade, can opener, bottle opener, small screwdriver, large screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, magnifying glass, tweezers, corkscrew, scissors, and hook. The Explorer carries a lifetime warranty against defects. About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

 Knife you get is not the one shown in the image on the amazon page August 13, 2010
ANTHONY R NEMMER (Tempe, Arizona, US)

The knife shown in the image is not the one that you will get if you order this item. Victorinox has made what they call a "running change". They have replaced the 8x magnifying lens surrounded with gray plastic by a 5x lens surrounded by clear plastic. Not only is this new lens flimsier and more likely to break off, but also it will be harder to start a fire with it in an emergency survival situation. Definitely this change is a change for the worse. I don't why Victorinox made this change except to save a few bucks in manufacturing the knife? Luckily, I called Victorinox customer support and they are aware of this problem and said that they will gladly switch out the clear plastic-surrounded lens with a gray-plastic surrounded lens if I send the knife to their Repairs department.
 Best Combination of Tools for the size and weight February 3, 2009
Charlie Blake (Houston, Texas)
I have had carried Explorers since 85. It is one of the few Swiss knifes that have a phillips from the end instead of from the middle. Its weight and combination of tools is perfect! I have Leathermen (too heavy), smaller Swiss knifes (too limited), and other pocket size tool collections (too flimsy), but the Explorer does it all and does not pull too heavy in your pockets. The magnifying lens seems like wasted space until you need it again and again and again. The large screwdriver/opener, has a wire bending notch that is more useful than you know. My first one had the blade broken by a customer who needed to borrow it for a second (never loaned it again). The second one had the case cracked when I was in a wreck (never wreck again).
I never, ever, leave home without it.
Best combo for everyday use August 11, 2008
Macgyver (L.A.)
This knife is a replacement for one (same model) that was recently stolen. The combo of tools found on this model has proven to be the most useful during travel, while camping, and just around the house and office. I have used it to fix bicycles, remove splinters, snip loose threads on a suit before a major presentation, repair luggage, clean a fish for dinner, tighten loose screws on a microphone, open a celebratory bottle of wine and much, much more.
Virtually every tool has come in handy at one time or another. Love the size, reliability and function of this knife.
If you are looking for a working knife that has the kind of tools needed for the typical kind of stuff we all encounter on a day to day basis, this is the model!

I think that the knife looks very nice, and was as I expected from the photo on your site. The case is a nice added feature.
The best of the pocket-knives March 27, 2008
Laretta (USA)
I got this Victorinox for my husband, and he loved it. He is a big fan and has many, he says that "they last forever and you never get tired of having a new one". This model has a "medium-load" of accessories so it can be a bit bulky; I guess that is the only comment if you are always going around with one in your pocket.
