With over twenty usable tools in a 3-1/2 inch handle, this knife will seem heavy to most users. Although it's still a manageable size for pocket carry, the red-handled Craftsman from Victorinox Swiss Army Knives contains over six ounces of high carbon stainless steel.

Everything in this good knife works. ...

Only 3-1/2 inches long, the Swiss Army Bantam Alox Pocket Knife packs five useful functions into a pocket folder with only two blades. With size and weight equivalent to an American gentleman's knife with nothing more than cutting blades, the Bantam Alox still manages to be a toolkit.

The main blade ...

The best (or worst) thing about a multi-tool like the Coast C5799 LED Pocket Pliers is always the pliers. If it includes a pair of pliers that works -- the rest is gravy. Coast provides a good but lightweight pair in the C5799. With average strength and leverage, there are ...

Bitter memories of standard-issue military gear always make me skeptical of manufacturers who produce military-style products like the SOG Power Assist EOD Multi-tool. This time, SOG meets more than military standards and creates a tool which should be a first-choice item.

Several good improvements are included here, and I'd have been ...

So it's come to this: the Leatherman Fuse Multi-tool without Knife. Designed for use by students and employees restricted to non-cutting tools, the Fuse still provides a wide range of alternative tools, but no clip point blade.

Everybody's pocket knife used to look like this, back when small differences in style and quality were the most dramatic choices we had.

Buck's ergonomic keyring pocket knife is better suited to lighting up keyholes than doing any cutting work. It's small size and rounded shape will be unfamiliar to those accustomed to the conventional handle styles. The 1 1/4" stainless steel blade locks in place when fully opened, but not ...

Victorinox's 5.1" folded length Ranger, with a main knife blade almost 4" long and forged from high carbon stainless steel, ranks as an all around camp knife as well as the usual pocket tool kit. The clip point blade locks in place when fully extended. The 7 tool, ...

It's always a good idea to keep your eyes open for bargain gift ideas when they happen to surface. We're bringing this Kershaw Money Clip Knife to your attention for that reason. It's quite a nifty little tool, and it isn't one of those "cheaply-made" knock-off models either. Since it's manufactured ...

For over a century, Wenger was fierce competition for the better known Swiss Army brand, Victorinox. In 2005, when Victorinox took control of the Wenger name, both brands continued to provide Swiss Army products - Victorinox as the "Original Swiss Army Knife" and Wenger as the "Genuine Swiss Army Knife."

What's the ...
