Victorinox
Huntsman -
Boy Scouts of America (B.S.A.) model
This is another of my all time
favorite knives. This one is about 20
years old and is in fine working shape
wwith plenty of life left in it. I would
be worried that Victorinox would go out
of business making knives that last a
lifetime, but they make so many styles
we end up buying more than one, some
of us have many more than one.. This
one features the following tools: Large
and small blades, Can opener with small
screwdriver, Bottle
opener with large screwdriver and wire
stripper, Reamer with sewing eye, Keyring,
Toothpick, Tweezers, Corkscrew, Scissors,
Wood saw. Now they also have a Hook,
this one is an old one before they added
that tool,. It is 3-1/2 inches closed.
All the blades and tools are Stainless
steel. And the red composition handle
has the Boy Scouts of America logo

I've had this
knife since I was a scout so it's been
used on caming trips, hikes and road trips
for 20 years or so. I sharpen the blades
occasionally, and this knife has held up
well over the years.

I loop a small length of
orange 550 cord through the lanyard ring.
on this knife the main blade opens away
from the lanyard. This is a comfortable
size knife to use, not too narrow, not
too wide

Compared to the larger
Victorinox Rescue Tool the Hunstman almost
looks small

Here the larger size of the Rescue
Tool is more obvious

Here is the Victorinox Huntsman
next to two other
Victorinox Swiss Army knives
for comparison. A Victorinox
Executive and a rescue tool.
The Executive
is a 3" knife, the Huntsman
is a 3-1/2"
knife and the RescueTool is 4-3/8"
long. The Huntsman is a perfect
size for pocket carry, but not
too small to carry on a belt.
The Huntsman is a true mid size
knife.

Huntsman and Executive side by
side from top and bottom. All
fit comfortably in the hand.
Although the Huntsman is a great
size for most uses around camp,
durring travel, in a boat or
on a hike.
