-Large Blade: Sits very stable and does not wobble. The nearly 6cm long cutting mastered both coarser work such as carving or Druchtrennen of ropes and also the cutting of foods such as bread or sausage sovereign.
I focus with the Spyderco Sharpmaker () and thus reach razor sharpness. However, can also be cheaper devices with a good produce shafts, for example. With the Victorinox Dual Sharpener 4.3323 () for under 10. If you want to set the Craftman, however, has nothing reasonable for sharpening, which I definitely recommend, the Victorinox Sharper to buy.
-Small Blade: Ca. 3.7cm blade, practically not missing for smaller, fine cutting work, I would, however, in the absence. Can also raise good, but of course has not the promotion of stability as the big.
- File: Is quite coarse and therefore honing fast and reliable - but not particularly fine - plastic, metal, wood or even fingernails. The underside is serrated and can be used as a saw for metal or plastic. However, the file is another tool that I need only rarely.
- Wood saw: In the usual good Victorinox quality and for their size quite potent. Understandably, the Baufällen not really suitable, but if even a road to way is to rely on the saw. Factory leftovers still hanging from the loops of Sägebattes it, but walking away after having worked for the first time with her.
- Scissors: enough to cut paper, cords or nails anyway. Only criticism: The spring is not pressing the scissors to the extent that all the cutting is face. Thus, about 1/2 cm of the length of the scissors is always presented. This was achieved in the previous Victorinox better with the old version of the scissors, here they did not offer such a high resistance.
- Pliers: Small but mighty. Replaces due to the size of course no Leatherman or Swiss tool but is good example. For pulling out of small wooden nails thoroughly. The integrated into the forceps "side cutters" but is so small that it really is to use only in very thin wires.
When the way is going badly clumsy, it may happen that the spring of pliers or scissors breaks. Then just send an email to Victorinox, you will receive free replacement parts sent.
- Bottle: Does what it is supposed, the large screwdriver at the end is also great for levering of anything.
- Opener: An amazingly flexibes tool that quite blunt edge is great for all kinds of materials plaice. Can opening works with a little practice well, it's better than any other pocket knife openers, with whom I had to do so far.
- Ahle: pointed and sharp, suitable for universal fine holes drilling.
- Pack hook: Probably the most unnecessary tool that installed Victorinox. I do not know when you might need to.
- Small screwdriver: Is really "small", but not so small that can be so tighten gland bolts. However Usually I prefer to take the screwdriver on the opener, the can be securely mounted because of the better position.
- Planing: An amazingly sharp part, merely re completely unnecessary
- Phillips screwdriver: Quite handy when you quickly want to screw something and do not want to run the tool box. Based on the position but can only work slowly, you have to embrace again and again, because it turns the whole diameter. Who can do without a phillips screwdriver, should take a look at the Victorinox Handyman, which has a corkscrew instead of this, otherwise completely identical to the Craftsman.
As far as to the tools. More particular by the uncanny diversity that was the Craftsman thus my new Always-dabeihab knife. The knife is just suitable to its size for your pocket. By Craftsman in your pocket you are ready for anything. Only when I set myself to a mere Vesper, because of Klobigkeit prefer another knife.
I have the knife the way a piece of "pimped" far, as I have given him new grips. The handles of the Craftsman offer a recording option for ballpoint pen, tweezers and a needle. An opening for this is hidden behind the Phillips screwdriver, the pin to NOT included, eigntlich shame given the cents article. I have these grips replaced against which a recess for a pen as for example. In the Swiss Champ or the CyberTool are installed. These handles can be for little money (
All in all I got with the Craftsman and a small modification for a total of less than 60 is not just a knife, but a reliable everyday companion, I do not want to miss. I have never regretted buying a second. Those looking for a knife, is equipped with every situation, may strike here.
