Victorinox medium pocket knife Huntsman

I use this knife most days, it’s very versatile given it has so many functions. The quality is excellent, it’s obvious the materials used are of high quality, it’s quite heavy for its small size. It fits comfortably in my pocket, making it easy to carry around.

Very useful knife for every day carry and for light bush craft tasks.

Excellent quality and good price

Excellent knife made a perfect Christmas present for my 18y/o nephew

One of the most useful purchases that I've ever made. This is legal to carry in the United Kingdom so therefore I carry this with me everywhere (apart from airports or high security areas) and its been needed so many times. From cutting food or tags to opening bottles etc. Ive used attachment many times apart from the corkscrew though that could have something to do with me not drinking wine. Then again, I've seen the corkscrew being used to loosen difficult knots in so it may come in handy for something like that. I won't list what this pocket knife has seen as its already under the description but i do want to talk about a few of my favourites and why. My favourite attachment and the tool i use countless times a day is the large blade. This blade comes razor sharp out of the box and stays that way. I had this for around 4 months or so now and it still hasn't needed sharpening or shown any signs of dulling. I use it for fruit mainly but also used to sharpen sticks and cut boxes open, really cant say anything bad about the large blade. The small blade is still fantastic in terms of its sharpness and quality, just like its large counterpart however my only problem would be why would you need a small blade when the large one does everything as its a perfect size. Never mind, I'm sure there are times when the small blade would be needed. The scissors i am also very happy with and come into use often for situations like cutting tags off or cutting dangling thread from clothes when you're out. The wood saw is extremely sharp and most struggle to open it but there is a pretty easy way to it by pulling it up from the end with your nail. Anyway, this saw is first class. Been used many times to accompany me chopping some logs and it cuts through even the toughest oak effortlessly. Very pleased with the saw, just always wondered what i would have to do if it ever needed sharpening. Other attachments that are frequently used would be the toothpick as its really handy to have one on me, the phillips screw driver that is on the end of the can opener is worth mentioning as its probably not so obvious where it is. I didnt realise at first as its not its own stand alone attachment but regardless, it works just as well and i often put it ahead of actual screw drivers when it comes to tough screws because i know that it won't bend and grind up like i find many cheaper screw drivers do. Going back to the corkscrew attachment, its not completely true when i said that i haven't used it. Well ok, i haven't exactly but i did find another attachment online that can be purchased separately to this pocket knife and it will fit as an add-on to any swiss army knife corkscrew. This is a mini screw driver attachment which winds up onto the corkscrew. Search for it online and you should find it for £2-3. I found that to be really useful when my glasses broke when i was out and needed them to drive back home so i don't know what i would have done if i didnt have my Huntsman on me. This is the perfect size to fit in anyones hand, slips into a coat pocket or bag nicely and looks (and performs) very sleek. The attachments have all been expertly thought out by Victorinox both in terms of the use of the tool and also which attachment should be included onto the knife. For this, i will happily give it 5* and definitely recommend to purchase. Another faultless Swiss Victorinox item.

Great beginners knife for my son going camping

For the price, I really don't have any complaints. The knife (both small and large) is sharp. The saw is actually really effective for small pieces of wood, I've already used it and had no problem. I've also used the tin opener, which works well as long as the tin has a good lip on it. The scissors are excellent and of course, so is the bottle opener. The cork screw seems to go into softwood just fine which makes it ideal for using the unit as a hook (it's original purpose of course, not to take a bottle of wine backpacking!!!). I've not used the other things on it at this time. Couple of things if this is a present: 1 - Be prepared to pay extra for a display case, as it just comes in a light cardboard slip which is pretty rubbish. 2 - The red finish on the knife looks brilliant but scuffs and scratches very very easily, in fact keeping it in my pocket has already taken some of the shine off and I've only had the knife a couple of weeks. BUT for me it's a working tool, so it was always going to get a few bumps and grinds along the way. In conclusion, I like this knife, sharp, functional and not so big you'd think twice about carrying it with you.

The wood saw is surprisingly effective for small branches, and the scissors are invaluable for first aid kits or trimming cord. It feels solid, keeps an edge well, and has all the tools I actually need without being overly bulky. A classic for good reason.

Excellent first knife for eachbof my kids. They learn safety, value and trouble shooting from a well thoughtout Victorinox Swiss Army knife. I recommend this to anyone.

This is my first Swiss Army Knife and I was smiling like a little girl (oh, the irony) when I received it. I got obsessed about Victorinox after watching it on Mega Factories (or what was it?). Anyway, about the delivery - I got it within two days even though the site says it takes about 7-10 days to reach my pincode. And that too after the product was accidentally shipped to a different warehouse during transit. So I don't think that made much of a difference. This one's exactly same in functionality as the Huntsman, the only difference being that it has a rather cool camouflage design than the plain red one. And, unlike many others who've been complaining (about other knives) that they got a used product, mine bears no scratches or any signs of usage at all. I was hoping a blister pack but this one came in a small cuboid box (like the ones medicine tubes come in) but the box was covered with a thin transparent plastic with a label about the knife's date of import and stuff. The knife itself looks and feels pretty good in the hands. I've tried almost all the tools present and they're very well built and integrated and the knives are extremely sharp but only god knows what the parcel hook actually does other than taking space for where the much needed pliers or Phillips screwdriver could've been. The saw is pretty good too: I managed to saw through a four inch wide branch with relative ease. The scissors too do a pretty good job of cutting stuff up. Paper, cardboard, cloth, it has been able to cut easily. The other parts also work well as advertised. I already can't live without it. Highly recommended!

The Victorinox Huntsman is hands down one of the best multitools I’ve ever owned. It combines just the right number of tools without being too bulky, making it perfect for both everyday use and outdoor adventures. Build Quality (5/5): Typical Victorinox craftsmanship — every tool is precisely engineered, opens smoothly, and locks into place firmly. The stainless steel is strong and corrosion-resistant, and the red casing is iconic and durable. Tool Selection (5/5): The Huntsman offers 15 functions, including scissors, a wood saw, two blades, can and bottle openers, screwdrivers, tweezers, and more. The saw is surprisingly capable for its size, and the scissors are sharp and reliable. Portability (5/5): It fits perfectly in the pocket or can be clipped to a keychain or belt pouch. Light enough to carry every day, but strong enough to handle serious tasks. Use Case (5/5): I’ve used it while camping, hiking, fixing things at home, and even during travel. It’s the perfect mix of utility and classic style. Great for gifting too! Final Thoughts: The Huntsman is a timeless, reliable multitool that truly earns its place in any EDC kit. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a long-time collector, this model won’t disappoint.

J'ai plusieurs Victorinox. Ce qui les différencie c'est leur nombre de lames avec l'utilité des dites lames. Et qui dit lame, dit poids et surtout EPAISSEUR. Ce qui va faire qu'un Victorinox sera ergonomique ou pas, C'est le ratio épaisseur+poids / utilité des lames. Un Victorinox qui fait une épaisseur de plus de 4 rangs est totalement inutilisable. L'idéal ergonomique est 3 rangs. Avec 4 rangs on a beaucoup d'outils, une épaisseur acceptable, et un poids qui reste léger. Moralité : Les 4 rangs sont le meilleur choix. Encore faut il que les lames soient utiles. Or, le couteau la scie et le ciseau sont les 3 lames les plus utiles. Le reste des autres lames sont du standard qu'on retrouve sur tous les 91mm. Donc avec le Huntsman on a les lames les plus utiles dans 4 rangs. Conclusion le Huntsman est le meilleur couteau de chez Victorinox. Meilleur jeu de lames. Meilleur poids. Meilleur épaisseur. Et meilleur prix. Le seul défaut du Huntsman est la difficulté à sortir le crochet car il se trouve trop proche de l'anneau ce qui gène pour passer l'ongle. Il faudra ébavurer la scie à bois avec la queue d'un stylo bic. Puis nettoyer tout le couteau en l immergeant 10mn dans de l'eau à vaisselle très chaude tout en faisant jouer les lames dans cette eau savonneuse. Puis on le sèche au sèche cheveux et on l'asperge de WD40. On fait encore jouer les lames 30 fois chacune. Sans essuyer l'huile on le chauffe encore une fois au seche cheveux. On refait jouer les lames. On essuie tout. Votre couteau est alors prêt à l'emploi avec des lames qui s'ouvrent bien. Si ça reste encore dur il faudra appuyer sur les lames comme si on voulait les écarter de leur glissière. C'est monté trop serré en usine. Il faudra donc finir le boulot. L'acier inox des Victorinox vient exclusivement de France. Edit du 27/10/2017: Depuis presque 3 ans, il est resté comme neuf. Durant ces 3 années, j'ai beaucoup utilisé le ciseau, le cure dent, la lame et la scie. Tout coupe nickel. La scie ne s'use pas. Bien. J'avais abimé les 2 lames du couteau (La grande et la petite) en m'en servant comme levier pour retirer des petits clous car j'avais rien d'autre sous la main. Hop ! Un coup de pierre à aiguiser et j'ai reconstruis facilement le fil des lames sans aucun soucis. Donc on peut récupérer les lames si on les ébrèche fort. Le ciseau commence à s’essouffler. Faudra que je pense à arrêter de me couper les ongles des pieds avec, ainsi que les fils de cuivre le pauvre :) Son ressort tient parfaitement. Il est temps de changer le cure dent qui aura tenu ces 3 ans sans faillir. Et puis c'est plus sain aussi. Je l'ai pimpé. C'est à dire amélioré en changeant les joues du manche par celles couleur saphir transparent du champion. Ce qui m'a permis de lui ajouter le stylo, l'aiguille inox et le petit tournevis sur le tire bouchon. Aux USA ils appellent ça le "huntsman plus" mais ils n'est pas vendu en France. Comme il traine dans la poche, des fibres de tissus s’immiscent entre les lames et ça coince à un moment. Je lu donne alors un bain bien chaud avec un peu de produit à vaisselle, je fais jouer les lames dans ce bain, je sèche, pas besoin d'huile et hop! c'est reparti. Voili voilou. Je confirme les 5 étoiles et le fait que c'est OBJECTIVEMENT le meilleur couteau suisse de tous les temps. Je regrette pour vous, qu'entre temps, le prix sois passé de 24 euro à 32 euro, à l'heure où j'écris ces dernières lignes. Ca sent la fausse promotion qui arrive... (j'augmente le prix avant puis je le baisse en disant que c'est une promo. Le sport favori d'amazon) Je repasserai dans 5 ans pour vous faire un bilan s'il est encore en vente ici. Si mon commentaire vous a plu, merci de me récompenser en cliquant sur "oui ce commentaire m'a été utile". Paske y'a plein de rageux frustrés sur amazon, qui cliquent exprès sur "non" afin de baisser ma note, car ils ont peur que je reçoive à leur place des couteaux gratuits pour les tester si je suis mieux noté que eux ;) EDIT du 06 décembre 2025 ===================== Plus de 10 ans ont passé. Ce huntsman qui a vu passer Hollande, Macron, et bientôt la fin de la 5e république, est resté comme neuf. Pas de rouille. Pas de casse. Aucune dégradation. Tout est aiguisé et coupe comme à l'état neuf. Alors que je l'utilise vraiment et sans pitié. Pour fêter ça je lui ai soudé un petit diamant 0.5 carat sur une des joues. En cas de cata mondiale ça me ferait une monnaie d'échange pour survivre à la fin du monde :) Fin du monde ou pas, achetez ce put*ain de couteau, c'est un oOordre ! Bin quoi. Faut bien rigoler un peu ;)

Couldn’t return as no printer. Scratch in product and damaged original packaging suggests the product is a discarded factory item. Not worth its full price.
