Pros & Cons
Pros
The explorer has all the most universally-useful tools topped with a rarely-found inline phillips screwdriver. The explorer becomes complete if you buy for it a precision screwdriver to be stored inside the corkscrew.
Victorinox explorer knife is of impeccable quality. Comes with a set of large scissors and a scissor. Easy to sharpen and the blade keeps an edge.
The magnifying glass is what make this sak a standout. It's got a good magnification for daily use, and can be used to start a fire in an emergency. The magnifier is way more useful then you'd think.
Cons
The redesigned magnifing lens is garbage. The lens of the magnifying glass missing after light use. Very lightly used and lens is lost and gone.
Highlights
Quality
As usual the quality is excellent the blades are sharp and hold their edge very well
It is a high quality knife in a most compact package
But i was never happy with the size and weight
Price
It’s comfortable in my hand and the price was perfect
Price i purchased my explorer in 1993 at walmart for around 39 so the price has stayed very affordable
Shipping
But its a terrible gift because the seller just dropped it into a shipping envelope and the box is flimsy inside
Packaging/appearance
Knife has multiple functions and is really sharp right out of the box
I really wanted to have the magnifying glass
Competitiveness
Bought as a bday gift for my son
I have had other multitools and knives but keep these two handy
I grew up with a knock off swiss army knife and hated them bc why have a multitool if its going of phone in most of the tools
