Kids Swiss Army Knife
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the little village of Ibach, Switzerland. In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in talent design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of original class stainless steel, are guaranteed a lifetime versus defects in material and workmanship. Remember, If it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife.
From the famous company that developed the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes the Huntsman Boy Scout pocketknife, a compact multi-tool for camping, hiking, hunting, or around-the-house use. Measuring 3.6 inches long, the Huntsman is stylishly cased in the timeless red Swiss Army housing with the intimate Victorinox logo near the top and the official Boy Scout logo near the bottom. More importantly, the unit holds a potpourri of handy mini-tools for both indoor and outdoor activities, including little and huge blades, a may opener with a little screwdriver, a cap lifter with a screwdriver and wire stripper, mini-scissors, a corkscrew, a reamer with a punch, a wood saw, a toothpick, tweezers, a multipurpose hook that acts as a parcel carrier, and a key ring for easy transport. As with all Victorinox items, the Huntsman Boy Scout is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into it is construction. Victorinox attends to each detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each person tool has been hardened in a dissimilar way to stand up to it is indicated use. The Huntsman Boy Scout measures 3.6 by 0.83 by 1.06 (W x H x D), weighs 3.45 ounces, and carries a lifetime warranty.

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 begun what would become the global brand name Victorinox, a combining of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox formulates watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The firstborn 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 buying goods 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.

 Great knife
By Russ W
This is a outstanding knife, I like this boyscout model better since it replaces the corkscrew with a philips screwdriver. 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful.
 Functional but has safety issues
By RJL
This knife has a great deal of nice functionality for a Scout. However, it does not lock open, so the blade may fold back on his hand if he is not very careful. Plus, you in truth can not tell which side of the little blade is the sharp side without looking very conservatively for the fold-out notch in the knife. When the knife is dirty from use, the notch is peculiarly hard to see. So it's a functional tool, but safety and thought to detail seem to have been largely left out of the equation. Therefore, I would commend this only for older Scouts. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
Best Practical Swiss Knife
By Phil Geusz
I've carried the Boy Scout model Swiss Army knife for over fifteen years. In my opinion, it embodies the most utile combining of Swiss Army features available in a "pocketable" package. After all, how oftentimes does one need a corkscrew, anyway? The quality is superb; I'd still be carrying my firstborn decade-and-a-half old knife if I hadn't bent one of the blades (through flagrant abuse) to the point that it was no longer sharpenable.
I use this product at least daily, and after fifteen years can't imagine life without it. See all 11 client reviews... |
