Victorinox Swiss Pocket Knife Swiss Army 1, Swiss Made, 1 Function, Stainless Steel, Silver

Razor sharp 6.3cm bladeThis knife really feels indestructible, the most durable knife i ever had.Thanks to Amazon many swiss army knifes are very affordable this is one of my 8 VictorinoxesIts simple, but a great build, made of two part alox (aluminium) handles, spring, 3 rivets and the famous blade.The spring is so tough it will not allow to close the blade on your fingers and it needs a lot more force to close the blade than on any other standard pen knifes,so that makes it a great alternative to a lock knife.The grip is not as good as on the big 108mm Solo knife, but still a lot better than the polished standard plastic handles.What i am not happy about is the fact that for this knife there is no belt pouch specifically designed and no key ring or lanyard hole on it, so it can get easy lost.Anyway for this funny price a Victorinox? (12quid at the time i got it) it was so hard to believe that i just had to buy it.Higly recommended.Update - now i use this knife as a backup and keep it in my survival emergency kitknife is an essential tool and a pen knife is better than nothing and it fits in most survival, emergency and 1st aid kits.If you want more than a single blade, go for the Victorinox Farmer, same quality, same durability, but more useful tools for just couple more quid.

Handy size. Sharp. Good quality

Petite pocket knife for my husband for when he is gardening. Nice and light for the pocket.

Absolutely beautiful single bladed victrinox knife. EDC so safe to carry within the UK with a valid reason. It's the craftsmanship, yes it might be factory produced but it is made in Switzerland. I've bought a Whitby mint edc also and sadly due to it being made in china, it had numerous paint quality issues (that's certainly not to say all Chinese made products are bad, far from it, some are exceptional).. anyway I digress... Lovely tactile knife, I prefer it over the similar sized opinel. Don't worry about it saying made in CH on the barcode on the box. CH is the code for Switzerland. All in all perfect. I needed a single blade but certainly would stick in the alox style and try a multi tooled one in the future. Five stars!! Easily five!!

The knife is typical of the Victorinox standard, however it arrived in a crushed box without the usual paper victorinox care guide. This may seem a minor point but if you are buying it as a gift it doesn't look good.

Sharp, easily carried, thin, great for opening packages, corrosion free. Recommended!

Lovely simple little pocket knife

Actually the old-style Solo as opposed to the newer Solo with plastic scales (handles). Simple and sturdy, the Solo carries easily, and performs very well indeed for its intended use. Don't be put off by what appears to be a crooked blade. In cutlery manufacture this is known as "crinking". Hope this does not come out as "drinking" which spell-check seems determined to make it: c-r-i-n-k-i-n-g is when a pocket knife blade is made with a slight bend or warp to fit around other blades. A can opener opposite the main blade, for example. If the two blades share the same back spring, the main blade is made with a slight bend to accommodate both in the same layer. So what, if there are no other blades in the Solo? It works just fine, and one would have to be particularly picky to note any difference in performance to a perfectly centred blade. If you like the uncluttered simplicity of a single blade traditional slip joint folder, consider the Solo. Light, pocket friendly, fine materials, benchmark performance, affordable, and with a lifetime warranty. And perfectly legal for UK every day carry. A favourite.
