I cant even think of any swiss knife manufacturers except for Victorinox. They are cute and handy but not even in the same world as the knife manufacturers mentioned above. For instance the SAK in my pocket currently has ever so slight side-to-side blade play from the factory and the file has over time created a small scratch on the side of the blade. Both these kinds of faults would get you a brand new knife and profuse apology from the likes of Koenig or TRM.
Dont get me wrong swiss army knives are great but they cant hold a candle to American manufacturers.
- PetitPrince 2y ago> I cant even think of any swiss knife manufacturers except for Victorinox. The term "Swiss Army Knife" is trademarked by Victorinox. There used to be another manufacturer (Wenger), but they got bought by Victorinox and the brand disappeared in 2013.
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoTheir cards, on the other hand, are a truly useful go-go gadget: https://www.victorinox.com/en-US/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Swiss-Cards/Swiss-Card-Lite/p/0.7300.T https://www.victorinox.com/en-US/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/... I'll stay with Spyderco for actual knives.
- yial 2y agoNot that Spyderco are bad, as they do make quality knives. but after switching to Benchmade … I would highly recommend Benchmade over nearly anything else.
- MeImCounting 2y agoTry a Three Rivers Manufacturing Shadow. Same lock as a Benchmade but better quality control and IMO a superior design as far as ergonomics and practicality go than anything currently on offer from Benchmade. I love my Benchmades but when compared to TRM they almost always end up looking like a worse value proposition.
