Carried this knife for years!
I have found this knife to be very handy having all the tools that I need. I particularly like the scissors. I bought this knife as a direct replacement of one that I had lost. I like the black case which gives it a classy look.
pretty nice, description a little misleading
I got this as a Christmas present for my husband, specifically because it claimed to have a wire-stripper in addition to the other regular multi-tool options. When we received it, I was a little disappointed to find that the description on Amazon was a generic one that seemed to be used for all of them (the paper included with the knife was as well). If I were to do it again, I would research a little more about the individual knives before purchasing so that there would be no surprises. Otherwise, it is a great product, and my husband is very happy with it.
a great choice for every day carry. SAKs rock!
I've been using a climber now for quite some time, and even though I have gone to other knives for every day carry, I continually come back to the trusty climber. it has all I need for daily tasks at work, at home and the family counts on me having it on me too. how do I use the climber? - blades (x2, large and small) are used for what blades are used for cutting! - scissors seem to be indispensable for daily tasks, and this is the one my family counts on me having - small flat screw driver on can opener, works excellent as a Philips screw driver and fits perfectly in most Philips screws I have ever tried. and yes, I have used the can opener too, works great. - large screw driver is not used much by me, but the bottle opener works great, and it also is a decent pry bar - corkscrew is great for picking knots and holds a mini-screw driver for small screws such as eye glass screws. mini drive purchased separately - awl is great for punching holes in just about anything - and I've even used the hook to carry boxes that are joined with plastic lashing that may cut you hands as you can see, this knife is indispensable on a daily basis and is hands down my favorite of the Victorinox 91mm line.
pretty knife
it's a good one, no matter its looking or its sharp knife. By the way, I love its black color, better than the red one.
Reliable but not a Multitool
Like the title indicates the Swiss Army Climber is a nice knife and a very rudimentary version of the multitool, but it cannot compete with a Leatherman. I have a Climber in the car and have used it for very light basic repairs, but I have seen what can happen to a Swiss Army knife that is mistaken for a multitool. It buckles at the base and the rest of the knife loses it's overall balance and functionality. This and all Swiss Army knives are the percursor to the modern day multitool and should be treated as a last resort for any type of repair. With that in mind, the craftsmanship is superb and actually quite beautiful in all Swiss Army knives and the Climber is, but one of many available models. A nice gift and I gave a few for Christmas knowing that it is always well received. I have about 8 different models of my own and will likely get more.
