What our customer's say!

"The Evolutionary Swiss Army Ranger", The Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger Pocket Knife is one of the more well-known models, but is more evolutionary than one might think. The current model is a good example of how well Victorinox responds to their customers' needs over the years, and the model that currently sits in my glove box is the same one that is here on these pages.

But this isn't my first Swiss Army Ranger; that was received as a gift from a Swiss photographic equipment company that I worked for in the 1980s, and it had the company logo on the handle. It was received during a trip to that country, and it differed from the current model in that it lacked the small wood chisel and the multi-purpose hook. The corkscrew was grooved, and the scissors had a small screw, which had to be replaced by getting the part from Victorinox in the '90s when it fell out.

Was advised by a Victorinox employee to put this older model away, as it had a collectible value of sorts (especially with the photo company's logo on the handle) so I did. Another interesting note about this model is that there was a special Space Shuttle version made of the Ranger, that had an inlaid image of the NASA's Space Shuttle on its handle. It differed from the Ranger here in that it had a Phillips screwdriver instead of the corkscrew, and it was retired in the early 1990s and is now a fairly scarce collector's item.

The Ranger is a standard sized Swiss Army knife (3-1/2"), and it's almost an inch thick. Some find that a bit large for carrying in a pocket, so you may wish to consider getting a Victorinox Belt Pouch to carry it. The Ranger has five rows of tools, and I won't list them all here as they're well covered in the Product Description, and most are self-explanatory... except for the hook.

The multipurpose hook tool was first introduced in the early '90s, and many wonder what it's used for. It's quite handy for carrying heavy plastic grocery bags (twist and loop them), keeping them from cutting into your fingers. It works fine with clothes on a hanger as well, and I've even used it as a plumb bob when attached to a string.

Pros:

- Excellent assortment of tools, all in one small package
- Made from high quality Swiss stainless steel
- Excellent value for the money
- Has a lifetime Warranty

Cons:

- Blades don't lock, so use with caution!


Tip: if you get one of these, spend about fifteen minutes familiarizing yourself with it, opening and closing all of the tools, and "exercising" them. Gently spray some WD-40 with the red nozzle tip into each of the joints so that they'll move freely in the field when you need them. Doing this will make it pay off with years of service for you.

If you're looking for a model that offers a few more features, you might wish to consider the Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife, which is one that sits in my camera bag, ready to go at all times. Some might prefer the larger Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Champ Pocket Knife because it has pliers, but I prefer the larger needle nose pliers in a regular multi-tool such as the lightweight Leatherman Kick Pocket Multi-Tool or the Gerber Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier for really getting the job done. If either of those seem too large, there's always the super compact Gerber Clutch Mini Pliers Tool, which can be carried in a pocket at all times.

Summary:

It should be noted again that all of the blades and tools are crafted from stainless steel, and it's still made entirely in Switzerland. It has a lifetime warranty from a company that know how to back it up.

This Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger is a great knife, with more than twenty stainless steel tools. It's an excellent value, and a splendid gift for just about anyone.

"Yah, camping!", Other than a Zippo lighter, I would not go in the woods without my Swiss Army Knife. Survivor, bring it on. My daughter needed her knife replaced (lost) so, I was happy to oblige. Thanks.

"Don't leave home without it", Well made, priced right, has all the blades
I need .. get more than one. Use different
Swiss Army knives for different passtimes.
That is what I do .. never had one yet that
was not about perfect.

"You can't do better", Only sorry it was a xmas gift to an unexpected guest. Yeah I don't even know the dude and he never gave me my gift. Oh well I guess my karma will beat up his some day.

Just kidding.

Great knives.

"Swiss Army Knives", Excellent product. Great combination of tools/blades, sharp, well-made and at slightly less than $20, an terrific value for the money. I'd highly recommend this knife.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"gold box item", this is a handy all purpose knife! i got it for $3 from amazon during the infamous customers vote of '06 and it's still going strong! The main blade is razor sharp and is really good for opening those annoying as hell thick plastic packages. i am really glad i got it and couldn't ask for a better knife for the price.

"Great Product Victorinox", I have several Swiss Army knives. This was the first one in this size that I have purchased. The quality of the Victorinox knives is always first rate.
The combination of tools on their knives is always fun. Where else can you get a knife with a saw blade and a cork screw and put it in a pocket...

"Got dude gift? The dudes abide! ", My family consist of many guys, and my Christmas travel entails many airport metal detectors. So when this knife went on a Goldbox Lightening Deal a couple years ago, I had them delivered directly to my Mom's where I later wrapped them individually. It certainly was like Christmas in the "atta gal!" and high 5's from the guys opening these gizmos; you certainly can't lose. :] Even if they have something similar, a "spare" will always be appreciated. Just get enough to go around, or there could be hurt feelings!

"Best Pocket Knives out there", These are the best knives I've ever had. They are sharp and durable. Swiss made; need I say more?

"good but could use a phillips screwdriver", good Victorinox quality.
could use a phillips screwdriver. It really bites not to have that on this knife.
