Product Description
One Hand Trekker Classic SD
Amazon.com Product Description
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife more than a century ago comes the Trekker, a complete one-handed multitool that's ideal for campers, hikers, and just about any other outdoor enthusiast. Bundled with a free Classic Swiss Army Knife, the Trekker measures just 4-3/8 inches long, with a stylish black housing that provides a nice contrast to the standard red Victorinox body. More significantly, the Trekker contains 12 stainless-steel tools appropriate for just about any occasion, including a one-handed serrated locking blade--one of only three Swiss Army multitools so equipped. The Trekker also includes such items as a bottle opener with a large locking screwdriver and wire stripper, a can opener with a small screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a wood saw, a reamer, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. The bonus Classic knife, meanwhile, contains six tools to put your life in order again. Measuring just 2-1/4 inches long--less than a pack of gum--and sheathed in the quintessential Swiss Army red casing, the Classic includes a knife blade, scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a removable plastic toothpick, and removable tweezers. The Classic makes a great portable toolbox and manicure kit, and is small enough to fit in just about any pocket. As with all Victorinox items, the Trekker and Classic are made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of steps going into their construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a plastic housing, the Trekker carries a lifetime warranty. About Swiss Army Knives
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 original product 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 for versatility.

 Very nice utitlity knife! February 27, 2010
J. Ontiveros
A Victorinox knife with a locking blade, love it! Unlike many other Swiss Army knives, this one fits the hand well and only contains tools you will use regularly. Well thought out design and materials/workmanship are, of course, excellent. One handed opening of the main blade is also a real plus. Handy knife for your pocket, earthquake kit, or Bug-out bag.
Great knife February 5, 2010

I bought this for my husband and my son for Christmas. What a hit! They can never have too many knives! It's big, but not too bulky for a cargo pocket, and it has all the tools they use. Recently, my husband was doing some work on a desk and needed to bore a hole. The wood was just too thick for any of the tools he had with him, so he pulled out the knife and used the saw blade to cut out the hole. It did a great job and really came in handy.
 Never go anywhere without it January 30, 2010

This is my second one. I lost the first in the woods, and found that I can't get along without one. All the tools except the knife are excellent. The knife could be better, but is serviceable. I like to keep my knife blade very sharp, and the metal in the knife blade isn't the highest quality. Other than that, for an improvement, I'd make the Phillips head locking. It tends to fold back down while you're using it.
I really love this knife and will replace it when I inevitably lose it again.
nice knife, but a little big for your pocket January 30, 2010

I love the one hand opening, and I like the serrations on the blade, and that the blade has a more useful rounded tip. I have been carrying a regular size knife for all my life, wish they would make the regular size with the one hand opening feature! Only problem with this bigger size knife is I think it is just a little too big for regular pants pockets. I am 6' tall 34" waist. Baggy pants or cargo pants it is much better. Makes you look like you are glad to see someone if you know what I mean.
 Are most Swiss left handed? January 15, 2010

Good camping knife, if it's good enough for the German Army you can be sure it's good enough for the average Joe. The one-hand opening is a convenience rather than something to be relied upon in a stressful situation, as it requires a fair amount of dexterity and coordination.
HOWEVER:
I cannot begin to fathom why the release lock was designed to be operated with the left hand. The release tab also protrudes quite a bit and can be unlocked unintentionally if the knife is mishandled or squeezed to tight in a prying/twisting motion. How difficult must have been to switch the locking layer to the other side? There has to be a reason for this incredible oversight but until I hear a convincing explanation 3/5 is all it gets.
