Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Soldier's Knife 08, 10 Functions, Locking Blade

Almost can't fault it. Great quality and a good mix of useful functions, including a decent size locking blade. Only gripe is the blade when locked has a very tiny amount of play in it, which is I've found normal and not a fault. Carry mine when fishing, where it's useful for a number of tasks that may arise and that also means I can carry it legally in the UK.

This is serious kit. Very well made and designed. One hand opening of large blade (u-tube videos out there on correct method to do this safely with your thumb) once practiced a few times is actually a very useful feature in a number of real life situations when for whatever reason you have only one hand free to open up the blade. The locking on main blade and large screw driver is solid, adding to the safety of this tool in use. With A LOT of practice it is possible to safely de-lock main blade with one hand, again handy to be able to do in some situations. The blades are razor sharp from new and hold there edge surprisingly well in use, with correct sharpening techniques no reason they shouldn’t continue to do so for a very long time to come. I’d recommend buying the official Victorinox 4.0822.4 belt pouch for this item, which is equally well designed despite first appearing rather flimsy is actually surprisingly hard wearing and well designed.

This is a belter of a knife. The blade is quite large and sturdy when compared to the smaller SAK. It is easy to deploy one handed and the liner lock is simple to operate. I have a number of SAK knives but wanted a larger knife when out camping and cutting sticks. All tools open easily and I find the knife is very comfortable in my hand. BE AWARE that it is not covered by the folding pocket knife exemption for a folding non locking blade less than 3 inches. It is not illegal BUT you would need to show a good reason to possess it in a public place. So in summary an excellent knife shame no cork screw I guess soldiers don’t need that in the field.

This is my first victorinox personal survival and camp utility knife. It is a superb piece of work. I could sense it's sturdiness and strength when I first held it in my hand. The knife main blade and wood saw are mounted in a compact folding system that translates into a capable cutting system ideal for my camp and woodland requirements. It has just the right selection of folding tools presented in a sturdy hand held piece. This utility knife is excellent value for money and will give me years of dependable and satisfying service. Thanks to Amazon for having this quality item displayed on their website. Best regards as always, Breiffni Hogan.

I bought this to customise and replace the Phillips screwdriver with a corkscrew, add a non serrated blade and modify the scales to accepts the pin, toothpick, pen and tweezers. It's a great knife but single handed opening of the knife is difficult and although Victorinix suggest that on the packaging (cheap blister pack) my guess is the original military design spec required a knife that could be opened with gloved hands. I rate my SAKs over Leatherman for almost everything but the Soldiers Knife still uses the heavy spring back that would normally hold a blade in place of the lock and this causes a lot of resistance. To overcome this the raised loop in the blade is placed further back down the blade meaning your thumb needs to move through a large arc to open in one go. It can be done but the Leatherman's lack of friction and small thumb movement makes it better. One handed operation is irrelevant to me and this knife is so well made and the blade finished to standards above SAK expectation. My only issue is why on earth do Victorinox use Phillips screwdriver tools in Europe where almost everything is Pozidrive? In the US and Japan Phillips would be useful but here both the screw and the tool just get damaged. Apart from that this is one of the best Swiss Army Knives I have ever bought

I wanted a victorinox pen knife and saw this model in Switzerland .On return to the UK i found it on Amazon at a better price . The best thing about it is that you can deploy the blade single handed . Its super sharp and whilst expensive the quality of it construction is obvious to see. I like the fact that it is not red as well .

Not UK legal for carry, but if you can ignore that, then this is an amazing tool. Sturdy, sharp, comfortable to hold and one hand opening is very useful. The main blade has two drawbacks that I can think of, first the serated edge makes sharpening difficult, and secondly, the opening orifice is strangely placed. Not very comfortable to use, but still useable. I think a stud might might of have been better. The item arrived in a blister pack.

Brilliant knife, access to the main blade is much easier due to the loop pull. The blade holds a wicked edge and has not dulled. locking mechanism is relatively stiff to start with. All other tools are well designed and useful

i use it at work no problem

Taki jaki być powinien

Acabamento, afiação e funcionalidades suíças. Ótimo equipamento para se ter consigo em atividades out dorr e no dia a dia. Parabéns a Victorinox pelo artefato.

J'ai acheté ce couteau car je voulais le couteau actuelle de l'armée suisse. Il a la redoutable qualité victorinox à un prix correct sans oublier qu'il faut ralouter à ça la garantie à vie. Il est vraiment top. Il y a juste l'ouverture une main qui géne quand on veut utiliser la scie.

Perfecta como todas las de ls marca
