About this deal

It comes with 15 large and small stainless steel tools and signature Victorinox ABS/cellidor scales.

The pliers are comparable to those found on the Leatherman Squirt. Not overly heavy-duty, but they’ll get the job done. The scissors are similar to those on the Leatherman Surge but much sharper and more resistant to rust. There’s no such thing as the best Swiss Army knife. There are only the best model knives for specific activities. However, this is not very comfortable with the Swiss Champ. Using the ballpoint pen like this feels even more awkward just because of the wide girth of the Swiss Champ. Apart from the corkscrew and the nail file/cleaner, I like what I see. It’s more than enough utility to justify its low price tag. I call it “the Tinker with an extra saw.” Apart from the small saw, this top-quality piece is identical to the Victorinox Tinker. However, an aggressive double-tooth serrated edge saw blade is a must-have in the great outdoors.

Performance Comparison

What's even better is that many of the Swisstool features are dual-purpose, particularly if you spend a little time on YouTube, where there are several Victorinox enthusiast's videos demonstrating uses for Swiss Army Knife tools that Carl Elsener never dreamed about..! The scissors can be used for a lot of fine trimming, but are obviously not ideal for large-scale cutting. I generally view the Victorinox Classic SD knife as the Leatherman Skeletool of Victorinox Swiss army knives. It’s a perfect piece for your everyday needs as far as multi-tools go, and one of my favorite EDC tools.

Admittedly, you’ll have a tough time with it in a survival scenario or bushcrafting in the Brooks Range of Alaska. However, this knife should be more than enough for an average handyman, cyclist, or gardener. The Victorinox Swiss Army Fieldmaster is primarily designed as a multi-tool for outdoor use, including camping, gardening, hiking, fishing, bushcraft... This makes it a perfect companion in any type of survival scenario. All-in-all, with the Swisschamp, a total of 47 available tools available - in one compact belt pouch. Amazing.

Special

The saw is housed in an extra layer. So, the Victorinox Hiker has 3 layers of tools, while the Victorinox Tinker has only 2. Just some food for thought regarding a slimmer profile and its effect on the overall carry ability. The Victorinox Fieldmaster Swiss army knife only comes in red, while the Huntsman features more color options. My favorite is regular green camo, but translucent sapphire looks awesome too.

It features the same set of stainless steel tools and features but replaces the Phillips screwdriver with a corkscrew. Personally, I never saw much use in having a corkscrew in a survival scenario. Sure, it can untie difficult knots, but a bunch of other tools can do that. Though, if you take a bottle of wine with you, this is the knife to make sure you've got with you! Victorinox Classic SD sacrifices a bit of versatility for lighter weight and better carry ability. It’s not as vicious-looking as its big brothers, but it’s irreplaceable for EDC.Apart from regular outdoor stuff, your knives also need to handle potential wounds, punctures, gashes… A slot for a sewing needle, a good pair of scissors, tweezers, a reliable blade… This is all a MUST-HAVE! I don’t really like “busy” Swiss army knives that charge me for a bunch of features I’ll never use. That’s why the Victorinox Fieldmaster knife will always be my favorite everyday carry and survival favorite.
