VictorinoxSwiss Army 1 Alox Silver Boxed

Knife quality:Chose this particular pocket knife for a mini survival kit. Friend always keeps breath mints with her, so all items were chosen to fit inside an Altoids box. Has just one sharp, fairly large blade of quality stainless steel. No scissors, screwdriver assortment, or corkscrew in case you find an unopened bottle of wine while lost in the woods. Grip is also attractive stainless steel with grippy surface. See photo.

Slim and well made pocket knife that is easy to get blade out. If you only need the knife and no other attachments, this is a very good option. I bought 4.

Made well, stays sharp, looks like, fits easily in the pocket.

The media could not be loaded. Almost perfect but, I'll still give it 5 stars. It still gets 5 stars because of the build quality. It is phenomenal. The quality is what you can expect from Victorinox. I am a huge edc guy and purchased this to rotate with my Case 6220 as a backup to whatever knife I'm carrying.This piece is simple, practical, and just a beautiful piece in my opinion. There is no blade play whatsoever and it is smooth when deploying. The main reason I say it's almost perfect is because of the factory edge. It was not up to my expectations but, it only took a little bit of effort on my part to sharpen it. I like my blades sharp! I "test" for sharpness by its ability to cut through paper or shave hair right off my arm. It's an excellent tool and it will definitely be seeing a lot of pocket time.

This is an unbelievably great knife! Inexpensive, beautifully built and sharpens to a hair splitting edge. The best sub $30 knife ever made!

If you look at the multi layer offerings and say "why" this may be your tool. Very slim yet a substantial heft the blade is actually a tad thicker and longer than the other mid sized Victorinox offerings.

The media could not be loaded. I grew up in an era that predated most of the highly streamlined and technically thought out folders of today. I had a nick knife in my hand since I was six years old and learned from my grandfathers, and getting cut, how to pop these open while drawing them out of a pocket or while sinking it in an apple or piece of wood. These type knives have a lot of advantages, especially for a traveler, as they are generally regarded in a more favorable light than other edged tools. This is nearly the perfect size for light to medium work, and if you know how to use a jackknife it will perform well above its minute weight. If you are older operating these knives may be second nature. If not, find the oldest scruffy looking character you can at a local farm coop or hardware store and they’ll be more than happy to help you learn. Opening and use of these with skill and consistency takes practice. The texture of the grip really makes the purchase in the hand better than the traditional red plastic. This knife is a must have for a checked bag or long cross continental road trips.

It's nice. Doesn't have walk and talk like other slip joints
