Amazon.com Product Description
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Explorer knife/multi-tool in a gift box that is perfect for any camping or hiking enthusiast. This very useful, 16-function multi-tool knife has been included in the Design Collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The Explorer contains 16 stainless-steel tools that will be there when you need them, but not burden you with its size when you don't. The standard tools include a large blade, small blade, corkscrew, can opener, small screwdriver for Phillips screws, bottle opener with large screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, key ring, tweezers, toothpick, scissors, multi-purpose hook (parcel carrier), Phillips screwdriver and magnifying glass. The Explorer comes incased in a red and silver box crafted to look like the Original Swiss Army shield/logo. The attractive gift box makes this knife the perfect present during the holidays. The box can then be re-used to store special items. As with all Victorinox items, the Explorer is made to exacting standards of construction in Ibach, Switzerland at the same factory that has made Swiss Army knives for the last century. Victorinox focuses on every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a nylon handle and aluminum housing, the Explorer carries a lifetime warranty.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

A great idea for a present, complete with a gift box! December 17, 2008
Have looked at this Victorinox Swiss Army Explorer with Collectible Gift Box so many times before, always trying to find some justification for getting it... but in this case, it's for a gift. Already have a number of these fine Victorinox products, including the Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus, which sits in my camera bag, ready to go at all times. It's perhaps one of the best all-around tools that a pro or amateur photographer could look for as far as versatility goes.
Also have the Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger, one of the more well-known models, and the model that currently sits in the glove box of my car. These models are all good examples of how well Victorinox responds to their customers' needs over the years. They are still crafted from stainless steel in Switzerland, and each of their models includes a lifetime warranty that they know how to back up.
Check the product specifications and you'll see that the Swiss Army Explorer has sixteen tools that include large and small blades, a can opener, small and regular Philiips screwdriver, a bottle opener combined with a large screwdriver, a wire stripper, a very handy reamer, tweezers, toothpick, small scissors, a multi-purpose hook (useful as a parcel carrier), a magnifying glass, s small key ring, and of course the the characteristic corkscrew.
This Swiss Army Explorer is the same model that has been included in the Design Collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The red and silver gift box has been crafted to look like the Original Swiss Army shield/logo, and it makes this knife a perfect present for so many people.
And a gift is what this one is for, not for myself, but for a young man who already has a basic model for everyday use. He's expressed an interest in collecting some of the Victorinox Swiss Army products, and this one is the perfect start.
Quinticential pocket knife-Fantastic! July 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have owned various incarnations of Victorinox Swiss Army knives for almost 3 decades. I think I am on my fourth now. Two lost and one given away. It lives in the pocket of my jeans every single day.
They change the model names and features around from year to year.
The Explorer is my current favorite and is essentially THE knife I have owned for all these years.
One of the major qualifying elements for me is the Phillips Head screwdriver, which I use regularly. Many of victorinox's models have this screwdriver coming out of the handle perpandicular to the handle's length. Which seems absolutely ridiculous. It's very awkard to use effectively in that configuration. Much better when it comes straight off the end of the handle, as a typical screwdriver does.
So that's what I look for first. The large knife blades, small knife blade is great. The scissors are great...more than a gimmick. I use them frequently. (Be careful not to overbend the spring when "adjusting"...although you can get replacements. I replaced mine in Rome several years ago at a tiny knife shop)
I use the magnifying glass as well...for a whole bunch of stuff. And more so now that my eyes are starting to go!
Essentially, everything on here has a purpose and is useful in my daily life, with the exception perhaps, of the fence-wire-puller thingy. It is a reasonable size and weight. No extra wood camping saw or chainsaw or anything else that's only going to get use once a year.
Manufacturing quality and finish on these are great. As they say, "Don't be fooled by imitations".
Perfect knife: Great features, nothing extraneous, good weight, great quality, and great price.
Don't lose it and you'll have it for the rest of your life.
 A good value if purchased as a combo July 3, 2008

The price for this one is pretty good if you purchase it with another knife to get free shipping. Can't say much about the Explorer - its a nice little knife. The shield case looks metal, but is cheap plastic. I could have done without it.
Its there when you need it! July 3, 2008
Swiss Army knife is so useful and its small and compact it fits into my lil black purse...can't go wrong...
Wonderful pocket tool June 9, 2008

I bought this for my 6 year old. She was admiring my 25 year old Climber knife on when I showed her the other knives she wanted one with a magnifier glass. The price was unbeatable at twenty bucks. This knife sell for forty dollars every where else. I wish the box was tin instead of painted plastic.
