Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Swiss Champ vs CRKT Razel GT Frame Lock Knife Black

Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife) Pioneer -will last a lifetime and can be passed down. It’s all metal, very classy. Not American made, Swiss made.

The portion of the blade that cut me, on both occasions, was the portion of the shorter chisel edge that meets the spine. The blade is sharp, there is no doubt about that. I'm not sure if it's the shape & size of my hands (wide palms with long fingers; my hands are truly larger than most, I wear a Men's glove size 2XL), or if it's how I'm forced to hold the knife with my large hands. But I do know that while I really like the design of this knife, I'll probably never get to find out how long either edge will last -- the risks for using this knife, for me, outweigh the benefits, especially when there are plenty of other knives to choose from

As that utters the tool useless if they break. You can work with it, but not long afterwords. My latest is the leatherman wave due to these problems. UPDATE: I dont use this anymore as the scales broke off and the knife bent a little

One of the reviewers, "Tool Collector," noted that the SwissChamp was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. "Tool Collector" suggested using Neatsfoot Oil to soften the leather of this case

It feels really good just enough to keep it very well balanced, especially for the blade thickness and size which i'll get into in a moment. Here now ...

but I think the scales are going to be a problem over time no matter how you carry it.

Knit picks, it's tiny, right? Some people aren't going to like how heavy it is for how small it is. Definitely watch out for that edge up there. Do no...

I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it. And (2:) The Price. I paid at the time about $73 which is a lot but to be honest, even though you get a lot of functions, it seems a bit steep

The value is there again. I really wish i could have got my hands on a original john, graham piece, but they just weren't available, but i will note t...
