Review: I wanted a knife for general everyday use, and as someone whose life is mostly urban and not as outdoors as I’d like, I settled on the Hiker. With Victorinox offering such a staggering variety of options, I looked into the various tool configurations and this seemed to be best for me. First of all, you know you’re going to get a solid knife from Victorinox. I had my first one as a child around 30 years ago and I don’t feel like the quality has dropped at all in that time. They’re solid, well made, the blades come nice and sharp and, although I’ve not had to test it in any particularly trying situations, they do feel tough enough to withstand a great deal of use. Looked after properly, I’m confident this will last me as long as I want it to. I’ve given it a drop of oil when the hinges started to stiffen slightly, but haven’t needed to sharpen the blades yet and they’re still going strong. I’ve used every tool on here at some point. The two blades are perfect for opening heavily-taped parcels of different sizes, and I’ve also done a little bit of small wood carving with them. Also useful for cutting apples if you’re that way inclined. Screwdrivers speak for themselves, and although I’d use an actual screwdriver given the choice, it’s nice always having one to hand and they do the job fine. The bottle opener works well, and I’ve tried the can opener just because. It’s obviously not as easy as a normal kitchen one, but it works and could be a handy space-saver when camping. This is probably the one tool on the Hiker I wouldn’t miss, but since it’s also combined with the 3mm screwdriver, it does maximise the function. I’ve used the saw a couple of times and was amazed by how capable it is for the size — those teeth are no joke. Out walking one day, I found an uprooted young tree about 3” in diameter. Sawing off a section to take home for a project did need a little elbow grease but not nearly as much as you’d expect. It even cut through cleanly and neatly, leaving a nice flat surface. After watching some videos online I’ve realised how useful the saw is, actually. Although I haven’t tried it myself, it can be used to split fairly large logs, so would be all you need for preparing firewood. The reverse of the blade offers up all sorts of other uses, including peeling veg; this I have tried, and it’s surprisingly effective! Just be careful using the reverse, because it doesn’t lock open. The tucked-away toothpick and tweezers are a nice little edition. Although I’m yet to find many uses for the toothpick beyond the obvious, a pair of tweezers is always good to have for things like picking up tiny objects and planting seeds very precisely. The tweezers are a little bit flimsy, but they’re good enough, and the thin metal keeps them easy to store while cutting down the overall weight of the knife. Occasionally, I’ve thought it would be useful to have one of the models with scissors, but I don’t think I’d be willing to swap out another tool, and I like the size of this knife because it’s ideal for easy everyday carry. Most things I’d use the scissors for can be done with the small blade anyway — cutting string etc. I’m absolutely happy with my choice, and I’ve found myself reaching for it way more often than I’d expected. If I decide to buy a new knife and pass this down at some point, I’m confident it will still be working perfectly for many years to come.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the best, hiker, camper, tourist or climber?**
A: They are equal in quality.  The question you need to ask is:  Which Victorinox is best for my particular application ie.,. the tools I need.  For me the Hiker is the perfect combination of small, lightweight everyday carry, and the tools I need.  Remember, if you get a knife that's too bulky, you'll probably end up not carrying it at all.  For $21, the Hiker is the best knife deal on the planet and it can be passed down to your children and possibly grandchildren.

**Q: Does this come with a sheath?**
A: This particular item number does not come with a Sheath.  However, Victorinox does have a promotion for a Swiss Army Hiker, Pouch and Fire Starter Set which does come with a sheath.

**Q: Anyone know of a SAK in this exact format but with a mini-file instead of a mini-blade? Please let me know. This one is almost perfect... almost.**
A: Checked the current line of Victorinox and they do not have the exact knife with a file.  Most of the files they offer are on the 84mm - 58mm knives.

**Q: Do the blades lock?**
A: No the blades do not lock.
