Recruit Swiss Army Knife, 10-Function Pocket Knife, Red | Swiss-made pocket knife, 10 functions, can opener, screwdrivers, backpack essential, everyday utility

My recruit Knife is by far better than any other pocket knife in the world. I dont care what people say, i have yet to see a Swiss army knife break(With normal use) and i have had numerous ones on my person over the years, all models seem to have that Good old versatile Pen blade. Its razor sharp, can be honed easily and keeps an edge. All of these factors are very important for a pocket knife. I have cut string, Opened both Food wrappings and packages, Mail, Cleaned my nails and on one account whittled a stick. Had mine for a couple months, Must say its still pretty well, considering i bought it Used. Aint no tellin' what Hell Its been through due to the previous owner, but it was put to good use obviously. I opened can food at thanksgiving with it due to my parents didnt have a can opener in their house and instead of buying one and wasting money, i told them i already had one. Boy I was right, I tore open 13 cans in less than 5 minutes. Rinsed off my Can opener, Closed the knife and dug in to some turkey and fixins'. My aunt had a PC problem, and i being a Non-PC genius, Dissassembled and reassembeled it with my Recruit knife. Handy? You better believe it. Only tool i dont use is the Cap lifter, or bottle opener, However you refer to it. I dont drink, so i dont need it. Pretty handy little knife and i am glad i own one. Get ya one, you will love it, simply for the fact they are so handy and you really Cant tell its even in your pocket, i ought to know all about that since i get "Pocket Claustorphobia" Meaning you dont like to carry alot of stuff in your pockets and you definately dont like Bulk. The Recruit knife is not tiny, Its about the same size of a Standard Swiss, but about 1/4 inch shorter, and its not too thin either. You got 4 working pieces of swiss steel and a toothpick and tweezers. Thats a good deal. Seriously, who needs all them fancy gadgets, when you can have them all easy with a compact pocket knife. Everyday carry, its perfect. For Backwoods Hikes and Adventures, Its nice, For Dressing a deer, YOU BET! For batoning with a stick? Nope. Sawing? Chopping? Who the hell would do that to a knife anyway?

This is a good all around pocket knife. Large and small blades, screw driver and cap lifter and can opener. Length closed is 3-5/16". Large blade is 2-1/4" (cutting edge). Small blade is 1-3/8" (cutting edge). The tooth pick and tweezers are a bonus to have in an EDC tool. You can't go wrong with a Victorinox knife.

Always have a knife. Aside from silly rules and regulations and laws, this is pretty easy to do on a daily basis for most. And the SAK Recruit is perfect for those times where a larger SAK or other multitool just aren't going to work with your dress. The Recruit is a 84mm SAK, which means it is just the right size for comfortable pocket carry. It also means it is light, another consideration for pocket carry when the material of your pants/trousers/jeans don't play nice with heavy objects. Anyway, this came with both blades sharp as all get out. The only issue I encountered was the boss for the keyring was not dehorned - it was quite sharp as well! A quick bit of filing and all was good. Since I can't deduct a half a star for that, I will give benefit of the doubt.

My first SAK was the rangergrip model with corkscrew and woodsaw (other tools too but that's the distinction for the model I have). I absolutely loved it but found it wasn't practical as an edc with the exception of it ALWAYS coming outdoors with me. I decided to get a swiss champ and a recruit for more every day use. My recruit is becoming the workhorse for every task imaginable to which it is suited...I find myself becoming creative just to use it. The swiss champ lives on my belt in a cheap sheath, that came with a multitool I was gifted but was too low quality to be of much use, for everything (the swiss champ) I can't do around the house with the recruit, which lives in my pocket and admitably there isn't much that the recruit can't do...but it is very handy having two tools for pretty much every mudane random encounter that a tool is needed or makes things easier. Anxiety already ensues if I don't feel the weight of my recruit in my pocket. Extremely satisfied customer and WILL be buying again when I wear this one out which I'm convinced I will as I use it for EVERYTHING. I'm sold...nothing but victorinox for me when it comes to this type of product. My rangergrip, recruit, and swiss champ are essentially all I will ever need for edc small nonspecific tasks and I find myself excited to reach for them. Thickness, weight, size are all perfect for your edc workhorse and is a cheap product that DOES NOT feel cheap but rather feels like a quality tool. 5 out of 5 and would give 10 out of 10 if I could

This is absolutely the best pocket knife you'll ever be able to purchase at this price. It fits comfortably in your pocket and provides two blades (that hold their edge for quite some time), a bottle opener, can opener, screw driver, tweezers and toothpick. The only other feature I wish it had is scissors. My all time favorite Victorinox knife is the Executive which, sadly, is no longer available.

The item arrived on time and in perfect condition. The army knife will come in handy. I like it very much.

Buena calidad

This is a neat little knife. Just wish the blade steel was a little better.

Build This is wonderful knife and really solid. I own three Victorinox knives of different models, a small one that my wife uses on her key ring, and a larger one I keep in my backpack. This one is just the right weight and size for day to day use. Carrying Around I keep on my key ring with my car keys and probably the biggest knife of the series that you'd want to carry on a key-ring. The good thing with the keyring holder on this knife (unlike some of the other models), is that the keyring loop is opposite the longer knife, which makes it easier to use the knife when it's still on you keyring, why the other models have the loop at the joint of the main knife sort of confuses me and is slightly thoughtless in design. I guess I'd have preferred the bottle opener at the same side as the main knife as well for the same reason, as I'd guess for most people these are the most used tools on the knife. Blades and Tools Blades are really sharp out of the box, although if you're into sharpening then I've no doubt you could get it honed like a samurai sword. But for the manly purposes of cutting up your apple and oranges, and opening boxes, I find it perfect! The bottle opener is a excellent, and amazingly, so are the screw drivers on the ends. And, I have opened a can with the can opener and it works (and it is a little work), like a charm. Here is a positive and negative at the same time. You only get the tweezers and toothpick on the plastic handled knives, which is great, and they are useful. BUT. The handles do scratch up quickly and look a mess. For vanity purposes, I've actually put some cellotape down each side to minimise that. But ultimately, it is a tool and not a piece of jewellery, so I guess I'm being a bit picky and it in no way distracts from just how good this knife is. Postage was great, delivery fast even to here on Shetland! Packaging It comes it a pretty rubbish cardboard slip, so if you're getting this as a present, be prepared to buy something to present it in.

Perfecta, tamaño ideal para el bolsillo.

Think this is the original small knife - it is the knife to always carry in your pocket.
