   Small enough to be handy and pocketable but big enough to fit the important tools without carrying much dead weight. Only slight question marks are the hook and Philips driver which could have made way for the more useful saw (you can use other tools to replicate both functions anyway).

   Exceptional quality in fit, finish and quality of steel used – if you’ve never seen them before, the blades maintain an amazing gloss and edge for years, the small blade making an excellent stand-in for a scalpel – that come as standard on all Victorinox kit. Great value tool.

   One day Victorinox will allow you to custom order your own knife, but until that time arrives, the Explorer will suffice. I’d owned a Champ for over 20 years, but in an attempt to reduce the weight of junk I carry around with me, I wanted a smaller model. Beyond the basic tools, I wanted it to have the scissors, a Phillips head screwdriver and a magnifying glass (until you carry one around, you don’t appreciate how often it gets used). The Explorer is the only model that fitted the bill.

   It is a splendid everyday carry item, and Victorinox build quality is unrivalled. Give it a bit of an oil and a clean each year, run a sharpening stone over the blades if you feel them a bit dull and you’ll be passing this to the next generation – unless like me you’ll be taking it to the grave, because you never know when it’ll be needed….

   Oh, and if I were to custom order a knife, what would I change? I’d replace the hook thing with the small chisel and then perfection would be attained.

   Buy one today, at this price you can’t go wrong.

   I’ve had a Swiss army knife in my pocket since I was around 13, would not be without one. I’ve had this particular model since 1990 and currently on my third one; can’t think of an occasion when I wished for one with more options. Just brought another one for my son’s 14th Birthday, he’s delighted with it.

   Only criticsm I can think of is that the magnifying glass isn’t strong enough to light a fire!

   This is the one to get!

   Some knives are just too small but any more “blades” than on this one and it would be too cumbersome or you may as well get one of those Leatherman jobbies which simply aren’t practical to carry everywhere. This one is still pocket sized and mine has had loads of use – the big knife blade is ideal for food purposes (cutting fruit and the like at work), the small knife blade is the best for general cutting- the smaller blade giving a bit more control and power (think of a Stanley knife – big handle/small blade)

   Another good reason for getting this knife is that it has both flat and Philips screwdrivers – in fact it was the Philips screwdriver that sold it to me! it’s had so many uses over the years. Also, you’d be suprised at how often the magnifying glass has come in handy for removing splinters.

   The other blades will have their uses, even if you dont indulge in a lot of reaming or punch eye hooking!

   Okay, mine is 12 years old now and I didnt buy it from Amazon but I feel it’s an item worthy of a very high recommendation. If I ever lose it, I’d get another one.

   The really useful feature that this comes with is the magnifying glass – ideal for splinters when on field work (there are tweezers, too).
