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 started out 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 primary 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.

 How did I make it this long w/o one?
By solocanoe
Due to a childhood accident with a folding knife I became a 'fixed blade only' person since. I've never found much a little fixed blade couldn't do and I carried one up to the Army, in the Army, and each day since. In truth, a knife IS a multi-tool if you are more than willing to beat on it enough. 
Thru a forum, I not so long ago ended up with an early, red Alox farmer. I had no idea the Farmer was one of the best loved models - but I may agree it's a outstanding one. The tiny SAK's appear like toys to me, and the ones with a gazillion widgets on it seem like they belong in a glovebox. I added a "clip draw" so I may clip it to my pocket, and started toting it around. My intention was to "give it a try"....I didn't suppose a lot of it.
My surprise is that the saw is incredible, the knife blade is very easy to put a super sharp edge on, and the awl is an unbelievable firesteel striker.
In the past month or so I've been carrying it, I've yet to need the may opener, or either screwdriver, but the bottle opener does work well, I may attest to, lol.
Will I ever give up carrying a smallish fixed blade daily? No. I get enjoyment from knowing I have a tough survival tool or SD tool close at hand...
but have my eyes been opened to the terrifi SAK Farmer? YES! they have. It's a journey...and for now...the SAK Farmer and I are traveling together.

Alox Swiss Army Knives - The way to go!
By C.M.H.
Out of all the Alox Victorinox knives, the Farmer has to be my favorite. Nice and razor sharp out of the box. Very "pocketable" with utile tools. Dismiss the idea that these are mere novelty items (Victorinox Knives), a unfeigned mini-workhorse. I employed the wood saw to cut down a few little diameter trees in my backyard, and the bottle opener employed principally to open my bestloved beers, has been used as a light pry tool. Very affordable, warranty, easy to re-sharpen, tough, and classy looking - go get it! 7 of 7 humans found the following review helpful.
Best pocket knife I've owned
By Country Boy
I love Victorinox knives. I substituted my old Victorinox Camper, which I used HEAVILY for over 10 years. I wasn't nice when it comes to it either. I got it when I was with regards to 11, and it ultimately got lost when I was regarding 22. Me and my friends use to joke in regards to how it wouldn't break, rust, or wear out. It was closely kind of creepy. Finally, the scales popped off, and I glued them back on. Here are the things I like in regards to Vic knives:
a. Amazing polished steel. It helps in cutting and makes them protest rust better than any knife I've seen. Things seem to rust in those little crevices invented by non-polished steel other brands employ.
b. Sharpen easily. It's weird. They sharpen effortlessly but the blades don't in truth wear out. Go figure...
c. Carry comfortably.
d. Have MORE than just a blade. Especially this one. It has a TON of uses. Sometimes, just having a blade isn't enough. And we've all seen humans use them for screwdrivers - a disaster and big NO NO. I didn't even do this when I was a kid. Don't do it! Vics have screwdrivers on them.
e. THE SAW. This thing is no joke. I've cut nice-sized subsections and cedar trees with my camper, and I know this will work as well.
f. The alox scales. They provide a nice grip.
g. Beefed up tools on the alox knives. The tools are somewhat larger and sturdier, in particular the blade.
I think this thing could in all probability clean a deer if it wanted to. I in truth think it could be done. It will be nice for little game, too. It may do closely anything you want within reason.
This is the last pocket knife I'll buy for a very very very long time...maybe forever. I've had Buck, Gerber, finelooking much everything. They haven't rather measured up...they wear out. They rust. I even had a Leatherman SuperTool. The tools are exclusively inaccessible and the tool is bulky. The steel rusts like crazy...what a pain. It weighs like a pound!
This thing is nice and light and durable. LOVE IT!!! See all 44 client reviews... |
