About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger Pocket Knife Reviews
That is what I do. was not about perfect.
Use different. get more than one.
Well made, priced right, has all the blades. I need.
never had one yet that.
Swiss Army knives for different passtimes.
Yeah I don't even know the dude and he never gave me my gift. Just kidding. Only sorry it was a xmas gift to an unexpected guest. Rick Great knives. Oh well I guess my karma will beat up his some day.
Just some of the many uses I've found for it: I use the screwdrivers to tighten up screws on my laptop weekly, the sewing needle eye/leather awl for an art project which involved hole-punching carboard and threading the holes. The large knife used to pry up a metal sticker on my university-issued laptop which used some industrial adhesive, and the chisel to scrape off the remaining glue. I also wish it had a Phillips screwdriver, but with the larger SAKs there's always going to be tools you wish it came with to replace the ones you could live without. Overall, a masterpiece in practical design, with thousands of uses. Did I mention how awesome it is to have those handy supersharp scissors. The metal hook is fascinating.I haven't used it yet but I have a feeling the day will come that I'll be more than grateful that it's there. Just be wary of how heavy it is if you plan to carry it on a keychain.
The nail file I use almost daily, also the small knife which is a handy envelope/box opener. I didn't find the corkscrew that efficient (it broke the cork twice) but I feel like you have to practice with it. It's damn heavy, and when carrying a small handbag I usually take it off my keys but then it's greatly missed. I would suggest a smaller SAK for an everyday keychain, like the Super Tinker or Classic.
The only drawback I would attribute to the Ranger is its weight, which is understandable considering all it comes with but makes it kinda cumbersome for a keychain accessory, which I use it as. Great for a quick manicure on the go. I've had my Swiss Army Ranger since February '08 and I must say it's one of the best gifts I've ever given myself, certainly the best thing I've bought on Amazon. The hole punch/leather awl to put extra holes in the ankle straps on a pair of sandals so I could tighten them.
Can/bottle openers I use more for their screwdrivers. The Ranger is heavy duty. Same with the saw, which I think outdoors-y people would get greater use from.
The 3 1/2" size is just right for slipping into my pocket when going hiking or puttering around my house working on my "Honey do" list. The corkscrew also saved a "date night" with my wife when we inadvertently bought a bottle of wine with an actual cork :-) The only missing tool is a philips head screwdriver, but I knew that before ordering. The "Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger Pocket Knife" is one of the handiest tools I own. Highly recommended. This knife is like a portable tool box in your pocket and the solid construction will make it last for years. The tools are surprising useful, especially the VERY SHARP knife, the practical scissors, the little sharp wood saw, and the great leather awl.
