Honest Review
The Swiss Army Knife is something I believe everyone should have. It is the most versatile tool you can have in any situation, and there has been more than one occasion for which I wish I had some tool only to realize its in my Swiss Army Knife. While the Explorer variant may not have all the bells and whistles of the Champ, 16 different functions (listed above) all packed into one small tool that fits into your pocket or bag is amazing.
While my review of all the function of the Swiss Army Knife can go on forever, I’ll elect to keep this one short and to the point. This is a pocketknife that doubles as every tool you could possibly need, it is sleek both in design and in the setup of its tools, it’s extremely portable with smaller or larger variants also being available and it perfect for those doing a bit of MacGyvering.
