Victorinox Farmer Alox 93mm Silver Folding Knife 18

Have several Farmers, Pioneers and 08 Soldiers, for EDC and in collection. When I need a solid knife outdoors, the Farmer can always be relied on. And, mass-produced by the thousand, with no human errors to moan about !!!

I put new number plates to sister-in-law's car last weekend. The spike made neat holes in the plates and the screwdriver quickly dealt with the self-tappers. I used it to open the six bottles of beer she bought me by way of thanks. The subsequent events are not Victorinox's fault especially if they agree that silence is often the best policy, whether or not someone's dog is poorly house-trained and resembles a guinea-pig breeder's practical joke.

I have MULTIPLE Victorinox models, the Farmer has no faults. This is a great folder, and HH are offering it at a great price. The Farmer is one of the best models you can get. IF you have "soft and delicate" hands, wear gloves, and stock-up on hand cream.

I have multible SAK's and other alox models. The farmer has some faults - The saw sticks out in the close position and mess up your pinky when you cut in hammergrib - Part of the main blade touches the inside and gets dull - The keychain is placed very badly when using the saw. Otherwise I love the alox models, SAK's and their multitools but the farmer is a bummer!

Out of the entire Victorinox range, the "Alox" series is my preferred choice. Out of the "Alox" range, the "Farmer" is my preferred model. Beautifully made in Switzerland, the Farmer has a blade length of 70mm (2.75"). Closed 92mm (3" +5x8ths). Damn fractions ! Weight 85g. All specs. approx. It has a panel on the reverse side, so you can have your name engraved. I specifically got this little folder/tool for my survival tin.

This is an excellent tool, my first Victorinox from the Alox range and far superior to the standad plastic construction. Could be used for many different jobs in and around the home/shed. Also the customer service I got from this company is very good, Linda who I had contact with was excellent! I have already recommened this website to my friends.

Just wanted to add a brief bit to my 1st review having used this for a few months. Brilliant knife for every day carry. A perfect boy's toy if you like quality pieces and it's great value so it's perfect - girls take note :-) Everything works as it's meant to and the blade steel, if not super-hard, is easy to get, and keep, sharp. Aside from blade, my favourite tools are the tin opener (particularly good for slicing through the stiff aluminium collar around the necks of wine bottles) and the awl / reamer: if you want to make a small, perfectly clean hole in plastic there isn't a better tool anywhere. A great man's present that should last a lifetime.

Didn't buy from HH but received as a (v nice) present. Great knife for everyday carry in the UK. It's well designed, well constructed & plenty strong for its intended purpose, i.e. urban or light-field tasks. At 85g it's not a burden. There aren't many tools but this has the essentials and the only other thing I'd like is a phillips head screw driver. I've never rated the SAK scissors or corkscrew and I don't miss them not being here. All-in-all a very pleasing item. Would be nice to see this with a pocket clip but with a split-ring, mini-carabiner and cord you can rig something up suspended from your belt that's more than satisfactory. Highly recommended.

Brilliant EDC Blade, carried for 2 years now, very happy! If only all knives could be as rewarding as this one, this turned me on to pocket knives. Check out my review here: http://youtu.be/CHuBegF5Vek
