VictorinoxSwiss Army Explorer

What makes this "Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer" stand out from the crowd is all the screwdrivers are parallel with the handle and not placed in a 90 degree angle of the handle. This makes all the difference in the world in the ease of use.The selection of tools is also excellent because these are the tools that you will be using on a daily basis.I pull this knife out of my pocket numerous times each day and I would be lost without it. I have used all the tools many times over. It's like carrying a miniature tool box in my pocket that's always close at hand yet not much larger than a regular bladed pocket knife.If I lost this knife today another one just like it would be on my porch tomorrow morning.

In my opinion, one of the most versatile models. Combines a lot of useful features with a relatively small size.

If you liked your last one you’ll like this too. Identical look and quality.

I can go on about the amazing design, build quality, functionality, value, size ease of use, etc... but everyone knows that's what a Swiss army knife is. To me this is my favorite still being made model because of the magnifying glass. It's extremely useful. If you wear glasses you WILL use this one tool very often, that it comes with a variety of other high quality tools in a little package is just extra.

This is a very good urban carry SAK. Its 4-layer design and tool implements make it ideal and will be part of my rotational carry and the weight is not a factor. The Explorer can easily be adapted to the office setting and home when your toolbox is not readily accessible. The practical and sometimes essential magnifying glass makes this an exceptional toolset in addition to the in-line 3-D Philips screwdriver. The number two Phillips screwdriver is sufficiently long which is useful as you can easily get into tight spaces. As with all SAK’s, the knife comes very sharp out of the box and the high quality stainless steel can be easily sharpened.When I initially ordered this, I received the Swiss Army Jetsetter instead – nice but, I was still disappointed. As you can see in the first picture, the package labeling clearly reflects it as the Explorer 91mm. Ultimately the correct knife was sent except it was now the wrong color. The Explorer was ordered with black scales however, it came with traditional red. Needless to say, this was another drawback. Nonetheless, the setback was corrected by installing black plus scales made by SwissClip (a plastic scale similar to the cellidor but, with a convenient pocket carry clip). In addition to the typical toothpick and tweezers slot, there is an addition one for the pressurized pen. A micro screwdriver was also added the sits upon the corkscrew. Given their versatility, all Swiss Army knives makes them an ideal companion for your everyday carry needs.

This is the third of this model I have. The first was purchase 50 years ago and I still use it though it has been abused/dropped and the red plastic is chipped. The second I got 25 years ago, had a black handle, was carried every day as my pocket tool kit, and misplaced a couple of weeks ago while camping. So I grabbed this new one as soon as I got back.

I really liked this knife and used the magnifying tool like crazy until the day I found it in my pocket, seconds from the conveyor belt.It was confiscated, destroyed and thrown away.

All round best combo of swiss army options in my opinion. Good value for price.
