Victorinox Camper Swiss Army Knife, 13 Functions, Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver, Tweezers and Key Ring - Black

I admit that I tend to collect Swiss Army knives, both Victorinox and Wenger brands. I use them all, so I'm not the type of collector who keeps them pristine and unused in a box. It's just that I can't seem to resist purchasing them here or off Ebay. More and more, I'm discovering that I really love the Camper model. It's identical to the Spartan model (another favorite of mine!) with the addition of a saw. It's perfect and somewhat minimalist to a degree, especially compared with a Victorinox Swiss Champ, Handyman, Explorer, etc. Every tool on the Camper is useful, to me at least, and there are no extraneous tools. I don't need scissors, as I feel that either of the two knife blades can accomplish much of what scissors can do. I store the eyeglass screwdriver (purchased separately) in the corkscrew, which is why I prefer corkscrew models. Plus, corkscrews are awesome at untying knots! I also store a straight pin in the tiny hole near the corkscrew, which can aid the tweezers in removing a splinter. Most new Victorinox knives have this hole for a straight pin, and some even come with a straight pin but not the Camper. I have used the saw a few times, and wow, what a saw! It's quite sharp and effective! The can opener doubles as a Phillips screwdriver and is very good at opening cans. My Camper is flawless and both blades came to me razor sharp. Excellent Victorinox quality. This is an awesome EDC knife. I keep it in my pocket and pair it with a Victorinox Minichamp (this gives me scissors, nail file, pen, measuring device, and numerous other tools) on my keychain. If I'm going to be completely honest, most days I also pair it with a Victorinox Pioneer and a Kershaw Skyline. I love knives, especially Victorinox! :-)

I love this little knife. I use it for everyday things and camping trips. It fits in my pocket perfectly. The knives are sharp and great quality. An excellent number of tools available on this Swiss army kit.

Outstanding Victorinox quality! Nearly perfect as far as features. I carry this with me where ever I go. Incredibly useful. The saw is top notch. The black colored scales are awesome. It's a nice color option instead of the original red.I only wish Victorinox would replace the cork screw with a ferrocerium rod. Then it would be the absolute perfect multi-tool to meet my needs. (It would better suit the name Camper too.)

I had one of these for 20 years. The blades retained their sharpness, the folding action was still smooth, and I used each implement more than once. Even the saw trimmed deadwood branches for firewood on a few occasions. I had to replace it only because I lost the original but the replacement is the same quality and I'm sure I'll keep this one for decades too.

This knife has seen me through adolescence, the Boy Scouts, the Marine Corps as an Infantryman including two combat deployments and numerous schools, all the weather you can imagine in every climb and place across continents and dozens of pacific islands. After the military it has continued to support my life as an outdoorsman. Hunting, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, woodworking and everyday uses the time I don't have it is when I am on a commercial flight or in a court room. I still have it, almost thirty years and it still works like the day I got it (except I lost the tweezers somewhere in Afghanistan so if I can get a replacement somewhere that would be great). The other day I bought this knife again (same as my original except my first says "^ Camping" on it) because someone borrowed my original a few weeks ago and thought they lost it. Thankfully they just misplaced it and returned it to me today. In comparing the two my original is just as functional as the new one. I will keep the new one and begin carrying it and keep the original in a safe place because the memories it holds for me are irreplaceable. If you take care of this knife it will take care of you and last a very very long time.

Possibly the best Swiss Army knife ever made! This knife has a ton of functionality from can a bottle opener (never leave home without it), screw drivers (work in a pinch, saved me untold trips to my workshop), cork screw (wine anyone?), awl for punching holes, a saw (I’ve even sawed small trees with it), toothpick and excellent pair of small tweezers, and oh yeah, it’s got two relatively decent blades to choose from. All this in a small package, and not bulky like other Victorinox models. Mine last for years or until I lose it, or I forget to take it out of my pocket before going through TSA. The plastic covers will wear and fall off after years of abuse, but at this price, just buy another one.

No scissors.

I love this pocket knife, and I use it almost every day.
