Victorinox Hiker

I got this Swiss Army knife for my brother, and he takes it everywhere. It’s lightweight, durable, and has all the essential tools for hiking and camping. The blade is sharp, the scissors work great, and the saw is surprisingly effective. A must-have for any outdoor enthusiast!

A great all around knife for walking, hiking and camping. Has the basic tools that are nice to have on hand. I carry a larger one hand opening knife for heavy use but this one is my everyday carry. Very sharp out of the box, easy to hold and open as well as being small enough to carry in any pants. The saw is awesome and cuts very well.

I own several Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. I have always had one in my pocket or close at hand for 35 years. I own: Swiss Champ, Tinker, Super Tinker, Hiker, Trekker and Mini-Champ. Each serves a purpose, but at the end of the day what we are all usually looking for is a knife blade. Victorinox uses good quality stainless steel that holds a good edge. If you use the knife for it's intended purpose it will last you many years. My Swiss Champ is about 20 years old and still going strong.I also frequently carry a Victorinox SwissTool that I have had for 15 years and have taken on 4 deployments to Afghanistan. It is a fantastic multi-tool...in my opinion the best one on the market.The Hiker is very similar to the Super Tinker, except this has a wood saw instead of the scissors, and the Super Tinker has that little multipurpose hook. As will all Victorinox products this is a top quality pocket knife that will give you years of service.If you want a larger knife with the same features you should look at the Trekker. I have the one-handed trekker with the serrated blade, but they make it with a plain edge without the one handed opening "hole" on the blade if that floats your boat.The Hiker comes in handy if you need a reasonably sized pocket knife that has just enough tools to get the job done without feeling like you are carrying a brick in your pocket. The Swiss Champ (or the larger sized version of this knife, the Trekker) will weigh your pocket down. My Swiss Champ is in my everyday backpack that goes pretty much everywhere I go. The Hiker or Super Tinker are in my pocket.Everybody knows how all of the tools work on this one but some my have questions about the saw. Well, it works extremely well for cutting branches, limbs small firewood when camping etc. I have even cut a 2x4 with it.You ARE NOT going to rebuild the transmission on your 69 Camaro with it, or any other SAK or multi-tool, but if you need a good quality pocket knife with a few tools to get you through your day this, or any of the SAKs will do the job.

The Tinker model is one of Victorinox's most popular. With the Hiker model, we get their wonderful wood saw too.I bought mine as a whittling knife. For this duty, the first step is to remove the keyring and ground or file the keyring nub flush with the rest of the knife body. With the saw, I can harvest the branch and cut grooves for gripping areas. I filed the small blade into kind of a Wharnecliffe pattern and sharpened the point of the tip, to let it get into tight areas easier.One thing worth noting about the Hiker is that although it is three layers thick, the saw is a very thin layer. So it is nowhere near as thick as a Spartan Lite, for example, whose flashlight/phillips layer is a LOT thicker than the saw. The Super Tinker model replaces the saw of the Hiker with a scissors, so that's a more suitable knife for indoor use.The usual Victorinox build quality is here. Perfect fit, finish, and attention to detail.- The can opener works wonderfully. Almost as well as a dedicated hand-crank unit in your kitchen. The small screwdriver tip on the can opener also doubles as a make-shift inline #2 Phillips driver. However, it is easy to close this up on your fingers when using the screwdriver, so be care there.- The bottle opener also works well, but the most useful part of this implement is certainly the flat head driver. I use that driver as often as I do the knife blade. The wire stripper only works if you cut a ring around the wire through the insulation first. If you do that, this works really well too.- The small blade is better for precision work. Some folks save it as a back-up that is always sharp. Others use this as the main blade, and save the large one for food prep. It's up to you.- The tweezers work well, but since they are thin, one cannot grab something very firmly. It wouldn't work for tweezing out unwanted facial hair, for instance. But it is great for getting splinters out of one's fingers.- The toothpick also works well, but many people are too germophobic to use it. I use it all the time, I just wipe it off on my shirt before putting it back into the knife, and that is clean enough.- The #2 phillips works well, but since it is a T-phillips, I find it is limited in application. It can't get a screw that is right next to something tall, for example.- The reamer is super-useful. I use it to drill more holes in belts. I like to have those in between settings. Not only that, but it is good to use as a sharp scraper or prybar, so you're not tempted to use a knife blade for it, and break the tip off.

Im an SAK fan, but its hard to deny the build quality! I prefer this model for my specific needs. I have several of this model in a couple different backpacks and one in a my knife collection. Very sharp out of the box.

She's my 1st SAK and it's a great tool. I had usually carried a leatherman wave and for bigger jobs i'd def still choose it, but for EDC when I don't expect to be away from home this is an amazing lightweight tool that packs so much into a small package. The cons for me are that the can opener is decent to other tools i've had, and that the tools don't lock. That said, you know what you're getting when you purchase this tool. You're getting a ton of great stuff in a small lightweight package and everything seems to be of great quality. The tweezers and toothpick are a godsend, and the saw hides away to where you almost miss it. I gave it 4 stars because of small things such as locking tools and decent can opener but i'd buy another one in a second if I ever lost it. These are amazing EDC items every man should own.

I wanted a knife for general everyday use, and as someone whose life is mostly urban and not as outdoors as I’d like, I settled on the Hiker. With Victorinox offering such a staggering variety of options, I looked into the various tool configurations and this seemed to be best for me.First of all, you know you’re going to get a solid knife from Victorinox. I had my first one as a child around 30 years ago and I don’t feel like the quality has dropped at all in that time. They’re solid, well made, the blades come nice and sharp and, although I’ve not had to test it in any particularly trying situations, they do feel tough enough to withstand a great deal of use. Looked after properly, I’m confident this will last me as long as I want it to. I’ve given it a drop of oil when the hinges started to stiffen slightly, but haven’t needed to sharpen the blades yet and they’re still going strong.I’ve used every tool on here at some point. The two blades are perfect for opening heavily-taped parcels of different sizes, and I’ve also done a little bit of small wood carving with them. Also useful for cutting apples if you’re that way inclined. Screwdrivers speak for themselves, and although I’d use an actual screwdriver given the choice, it’s nice always having one to hand and they do the job fine.The bottle opener works well, and I’ve tried the can opener just because. It’s obviously not as easy as a normal kitchen one, but it works and could be a handy space-saver when camping. This is probably the one tool on the Hiker I wouldn’t miss, but since it’s also combined with the 3mm screwdriver, it does maximise the function.I’ve used the saw a couple of times and was amazed by how capable it is for the size — those teeth are no joke. Out walking one day, I found an uprooted young tree about 3” in diameter. Sawing off a section to take home for a project did need a little elbow grease but not nearly as much as you’d expect. It even cut through cleanly and neatly, leaving a nice flat surface. After watching some videos online I’ve realised how useful the saw is, actually. Although I haven’t tried it myself, it can be used to split fairly large logs, so would be all you need for preparing firewood. The reverse of the blade offers up all sorts of other uses, including peeling veg; this I have tried, and it’s surprisingly effective! Just be careful using the reverse, because it doesn’t lock open.The tucked-away toothpick and tweezers are a nice little edition. Although I’m yet to find many uses for the toothpick beyond the obvious, a pair of tweezers is always good to have for things like picking up tiny objects and planting seeds very precisely. The tweezers are a little bit flimsy, but they’re good enough, and the thin metal keeps them easy to store while cutting down the overall weight of the knife.Occasionally, I’ve thought it would be useful to have one of the models with scissors, but I don’t think I’d be willing to swap out another tool, and I like the size of this knife because it’s ideal for easy everyday carry. Most things I’d use the scissors for can be done with the small blade anyway — cutting string etc.I’m absolutely happy with my choice, and I’ve found myself reaching for it way more often than I’d expected. If I decide to buy a new knife and pass this down at some point, I’m confident it will still be working perfectly for many years to come.
