VictorinoxElectrician Swiss Army Knife, 8 Function Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Electricians Blade and Wire Scraper - Silver

With the large blade for food prep and the wharnecliffe blade for utility cuts, this reminds me of an Alox version of one of the old "Stockman" or other multiple-blade "pattern" knives.In addition to two great blades, you get the reamer and the cap lifter/slotted driver which is also a nice pry bar.Awesome knife for the price.

Item received in mint description, packed well and on time. As with all Swiss Army knives they never dissapoint.

Pic is wrong on the Amazon thumbnail. It’s of a solo / single blade. This is a 4 blade tool.I borrowed my son's scout knife. I needed a can opener. I thought- “I want a Swiss Army Knife”. So I got the Electrician. I’ll explain.The Alox Electrician is an ideal pocket knife / multi tool. Only 2 sections thick, so it is thinner than you think. Disappears in pocket. My first SAK and first Alox I've ever held. Aluminum is extremely durable compared to plastic handle / scales on typical knives from Vic. Main blade is much thicker than normal SAK, very sturdy. It’s also on a bevel cut which you can see in the pics. Allows the bottle opener to be thick. BTW. the bottle opener is best I've used on a knife. Thick screwdriver, serves as a limited pry tool. Love the 90 degree lock on screwdriver. Wish all blades did that on knife (safety).Awl is very useful / tough blade. The awl is the best Amazon Box opener ever devised. Don’t ruin your good blades on tape. The aw is a rt angle stamped part for strength (pic). Sort of a lawn mower blade.Best blade is electrician. Short and handy sheep’s foot blade w a circular cut out to strip insulation. It takes the place of the can opener on the standard Pioneer/ original design. Makes the knife very unique. I’ll gladly give up can opener to have that every day. I'll use my son's can opener when I need one! Maybe I need a pioneer too. It becomes a problem.Nothing you don’t need. So easy to carry.Wish they made colors.This is the most practical knife of the series because of ease of carry and short blade. I’ve owned 2 as I lost one.

This knife is one of the Victorinox Alox series knives. That means it's a little more rugged and stronger than the more common red Victorinox knives. The knife was brand new and shipped quickly. Great deal!

Forever, I believed that the last knife I would ever want or need would be a Victorinox SAK (Swiss Army Knife). I've gone through many different "phases" in my pocket knife-toting life, from slipjoint pocket knives to tactical, assisted-open knives. I've worked my way through all kinds of different steels from 1095 carbon, to S30V super stainless. When a co-worker and I got to talking about Victorinox, I immediately dismissed the entire brand. I thought I needed a "better" steel. I didn't want all of the "junk" that came with a standard SAK. Then I came across the Electrician.It has everything you need and nothing you don't. The combination of the sheepsfoot blade, reamer (or punch) and the silver alox scales are what originally drew me in. The more I thought about it, the more I HAD to have it, so I placed an order. 2 days later, it showed up on my doorstep and wow, was I impressed.It was perfect. The fit & finish are excellent and the size is just right. It's only about 7/16" thick and it really disappears into your pocket. The silver alox (as apposed to the standard red plastic) is nice and thin and I love that it looks different than a "normal" SAK. The main blade is just what you'd expect, but the sheepsfoot blade and the reamer are what really sets this little knife apart from the rest.The 420HC stainless steel that Victorinox uses is really good enough for anyone. I use my DMT diamond diafolds & benchstones on all of my knives with much success and the Electrician is no different. It sharpens easily, maintains an edge for long enough. I never let it get too dull before I resharpen it.I'm very happy with it overall and find it as a great addition to my EDC lineup.

good blade but wrong picture

One of the best, flawless fit, finish, and utility. For those who are not familiar with the "Alox" Victorinox knives, these have a legacy-base with the original military issue SAKs, and even shares components with SAK knives issued to various European Militaries into the early 2000s. That said, these are _robust_ with tools and blades that are about half again as thick and sturdy as the plastic handled 'cellidor' knives. I really can't get over how perfect these are. The Electrician is a brother to the Pioneer model, with the can opener replaced with a sheepsfoot blade, with a coarser grind wire stripper towards the blade/handle junction. Otherwise we have a sturdy spear point blade, an awl with a chisel sharpened edge, and a combination flat-head bottle opener driver. Missing is the keyring mount flange. (feels nicer in the hand as a result)I feel the sheepsfoot blade is a great addition, arguably more so than the can opener for civil day to day tasks. I'm torn as to whether or not this would be better with a classic bail-ring but at the end of the day it is just a great tool that goes great in a vest pocket.
