VictorinoxRanger 57 M Swiss Army Knife, 13 Function Swiss Made Pocket Knife with 2 Blades (Large and Gutting Blade), Corkscrew and Wood Saw - Red/Black

Now THIS is a Swiss Army Knife!Ok, that said, here's the perspective: Victorinox now owns Wenger, and from the Delemont factory Victorinox is producing some of Wenger's designs with a few Victorinox twists. Seems then that this facility will be making even higher quality and function items than the traditional Victorinox Swiss Army Knife line up.Specifically, the RangerGrip 57 is a hunting/trekking/camping knife... a big one... a good one. Now this model competes with several others, and which one is 'best' is a personal decision.Let's start with the Victorinox Camper - a very pocketable 91mm (3-1/2") long model sporting spear blade, saw, awl, and corkscrew (dealing with knots) as the useful outdoors tools. The Vic Huntsman adds a 'carry hook' and scissors to the Camper. The 93mm Alox Farmer provides a more robust package with a bit sturdier spear blade and saw, and a much more useable awl/reamer - the Farmer is a pocketable favorite for outdoorsmen everywhere.Next up are the more modern, ergo-shaped nylon handled 111mm models, starting with the Trekker with a slide-locking even more robust spear blade, and longer, more effective saw, plus a locking large plain screwdriver/pry-tool. There are One Handed Trekker (OHT) models, but these have liner-locking serrated blades unless you find an OHT-NS (non-serrated) model. The Trekker replaces the corkscrew with a phillips - I'd rather have the corkscrew to help unravel things in the woods than the philips. The 111mm Hunter with its slide-locking spear blade also has a short gutting blade along with a combo can and bottle opener. The Hunter also has the Corkscrew tool. Many carry this as their hunting and bushcraft buddy; some just pocket it, others prefer using a belt-sheath The Victorinox Fireman is an even better execution than the Hunter, since it provides a long serrated seat-belt cutter opening from the same end as the main blade - this cutter is an equally more effective gutting tool than the short blade on the Hunter. The Fireman also includes the saw, liner-locking spear blade, awl, corkscrew, and liner-locking large plain screwdriver/pry-tool.Finally we come to this RangerGrip series. 130mm (over 5") of ergo-handled, well-finished pocketknife. The nylon handles have 'rubberized' grippy inserts for comfort and control, the larger body is hand filling. The finish is even better than that of Victorinox's standard products. The RangerGrip 79 (red with black) models are a step up to Vic's 111mm OHT-NS Trekker and a very big brother of their 91mm Camper; the RangerGrip 79 has a non-serrated blade with about 4" of cutting edge, an even larger, more effective saw, awl and Corkscrew tool. Finally, THIS RangerGrip 57 (and 58 with Philips instead of Corkscrew) adds a full-length, non-serrated gutting blade to the mix of this large Delemont series, and is an up-sized Vic Hunter in all ways.There are a few other RangerGrip models which are either more basic or are more specialized, some including fold out pliers of Multi Tool caliber or serious scissors/shears or mariner's tools. There are a few of the Wenger (rather than Victorinox branded) versions of RangerGrip models still available, too. The Wenger heritage seems to be "make it even better suited", and the Victorinox branded Delemont models carry that forward, the 130mm RangerGrip models being serious and effective folding knife multi-tools for those venturing in the outdoors.Hard to say which of the Delemont models, large and small, will remain in the Victorinox line up. If you're considering one of these large RangerGrip models, I'd suggest getting while their available... in my mind some Delemont 130mm models are too much competition for Vic's 111mm 'equivalents'. Of course 130mm is large. But in the woods that larger saw and those plain edged blades are very welcome, even if needing to ride in the pack or pouch instead of the pocket like the 93mm Alox Farmer.

Buena calidad👍🏻

I waited a long time before purchasing one as most of the Swiss Army nights. I’ve seen her just a little multi tools. But now I wish I had gotten one much earlier both the quality to fit the action the sharpness. It is incredibly well-made. It’s easy to use. I love the locking system. It’s just functionally perfect. It is worth the money. .

Git this as a gift for hubby. It is the only knife he carries now. It is sharp and has lots of features. Fits easy in his pocket and is not cumbersome

This Swiss Army knife is outstanding! The knife came razor sharp and has been useful, daily. I haven't needed to use any of the other implements, yet, but, I have no doubt that the other implements are just as good as the knife itself.

Excelente producto era lo que imaginaba y más aún , los materiales de mucha calidad y el filo de victorinox inigualable como siempre

It is a quality product.It is much bigger then it looks in pictures.Too big for pocket carry. I’ll need to make a leather horizontal pouch for it.It is bigger then a Buck 110, and bigger then a Browning 524I chose this model for 3 tools- one hand open/close blade- bone saw- gutting bladeI don’t really need the screw-drivers on this model. I usually reach for the Explorer model in my pocket for those smaller tools.It is exactly what I was looking forYou won’t be disappointed.

Ergonomic, easy to deploy, and useful for many of your daily tasks, this is one of my favorite multitools.
