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

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.

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

Excellent quality as you'd expect from victorinox

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.

Great beginners knife for my son going camping
