Great knife! 
2008-04-14
This is a great knife for camping. The lockblade provides a security that most Swiss Army knifes don't have. The blade is sharp and strong enough that I was able to cut kindle by hammering the knife with a log. The knife is slightly larger than I expected but it is still sufficiently small to carry in my pocket.
I find it difficult to operate the knife with one hand as I should according to the description of the product. I find it safer to use both hands.
cool stuff 2008-04-10
exactly what I want as a camping tool, not too small and not too big.
One of the best from Victorinox 2008-03-31
As a knife collector, this knife with one hand lockable blade is the best from Victorinox.
Trekker and Rescue Tool both are the same but you have to pay at least 40% more for rescue tool.
Color, design is perfect and hand grip make this knife unbeatable.
Very nice, sturdy knife 2008-03-17
I got one of these when it went on sale, and paid a low price. So I didn't hesitate when the need arose to treat it rough. I had to open some steel banding on a pallet (the kind where the steel bands get perforated and bonded together with a crimping tool, not an extra clasp). Using a 15 pound wooden post, I hammered the flathead screwdriver into the crimped steel. (if it folded, that would have hurt) Pow! The knife emerged looking nearly new. The steel band, not so much. Recommended. As one other reviewer mentioned, the philips head screwdriver on this is on the side, and kinda sucks. But the locking knife and locking flathead let you do things with this knife you simply cannot do with a regular swiss army knife. In addition to the fact that 2 of the blades lock, both of them are quite a bit sturdier than the blades on a standard Victorinox knife. Also I've used the can opener, which is also sturdier than on a standard knife, and it works very smoothly.

Great For Drinking (and Hiking) 2008-07-04
This is the knife you need if you're going to do some serious drinking, because not only does the main serrated blade lock, but the bottle opener does, too. (This is also the flat-blade screwdriver, good for prying things. So it does make some kind of sense.)
This is also the knife if you're going to do serious hiking. You never know when you're going to find yourself with an arm pinned under a giant boulder. The saw will come in very handy. This is when the one-handed operation really shines.
I bought this one in a kit including a "free" Classic. You can never have enough Swiss army knives.
And speaking of which, you will have noticed this knife is sold in a couple of different variations. Here is a summary. Compared to this Trekker...
- Bundeswehr is similar, sans toothpick/tweezer
- Parachutist has belt cutter instead of saw
- One-Handed Trailmaster is same thing, old/non-US name
- Trekker Camo similar, non-serrated blade
- Sentinel only has the one locking blade
- Fireman has saw AND belt cutter
- Rescue Tool has saw AND belt cutter, and window breaker
- Workchamp and Hercules have all that, "but wait, there's more"

Look on Youtube for videos demonstrating one-handed operation.
Pleased groomsmen... 
2008-06-21
I recently purchased eleven of these knives to be used as gifts for groomsmen, fathers, and helpers at my wedding. Everyone was/is pleased, and most will use while camping or fishing. To make things even better, while in an outdoor store on my honeymoon, I found the knife for $20+ more than I paid. As others have commented, this is not a "pocket" knife...it is large.
Great Survival Knife Tool 2008-06-14
This knife is a handy size for pocket. The blade is surprisingly large and useful. High quality and nice feel. Useful screwdrivers. Good can opener. And other features. I'd want this knife if I was lost in the woods.
Must have in evey car 2008-05-11
This Swiss Army Knife is a must have in every car. I love it and works real good. It's a complete and full functional unit.
One handed handy 2008-04-19
It took me weeks of searching around different sporting and merchandise stores to find what I was looking for. I was looking for a pocket knife with a decent size blade that locks and you can open it with one hand. At the same time I wanted some utility tools like a saw, screw driver, and something I could use instead of my finger nail to open tight wrapings and etc. Let me tell you. You cannot beat Victornox when it comes to sharpness and quality. Its not too big and definately not too small. I'm glad Victornox made a locking blade pocket knife and this is the one. I am very happy with it. And the price cannot be beat. I've seen much cheaper knives with lesser quality cost more.
