    Handy medium size, excellent blade steel My first Swiss Army knife, a red "Tinker" model Victorinox Switzerland Tinker-red Victorinox Knives, has worked for me long and well, and this "Recruit" appears to be every bits its equal for quality. To some extent, this review reflects that past experience with a similar Swiss Army knife (which is still fully usable), but I have use the Recruit enough to be confident that the carryover of quality and utility is there.Having taken up wood carving about a year ago, I have become at least a moderately good blade sharpener and judge of blades for working wood (because that's the first skill you've got to develop if you're going to carve). These knives come to you sharp enough to give your finger a good cut if you're careless. However, the steel will take a much keener edge than it comes with, and will hold it through a substantial amount of (non-abusive) use as long as you strop the blade now and then. It does take a while to get them to an extremely keen, smooth/polished edge the first time, but you can't begrudge the manufacturer that; people who are seriously into knives develop their own edge shape (cross-section) preferences, and the knife has to come sharpened only to the point where these folks can take off and do their own thing in further sharpening. So these knives do come "sharp," but you can make them super-sharp if you want to put in the effort -- which, as I've discovered with some OTHER knives (not a Swiss Army knife), you just can't do with a lesser quality steel, regardless how much effort you give it.As for durability.... Assuming you respect the knife's limits, the only thing you're likely to break loose on one of these is the plastic side piece (the "scale"), and you can easily glue it back on with a modern adhesive and probably never see it loose again. By respecting its limits, I mean don't pry with the blade; that's not what they're made to endure. However, if my Tinker is a good example, you can apply a fair amount of prying pressure with the screwdriver blade.This "Recruit" knife is a bit smaller than the Tinker -- both shorter and not so thick, and actually a better fit for my medium-ish hand. (The reduction in thickness is possible because it has fewer gadgets, the only one of which I MIGHT miss is the awl that the Tinker and some others have.) If you get one and sharpen it well, and then treat it decently -- respect its limits, like I said -- it will more than repay the care. 5Typical Swiss Army Knife quality - outstanding! This was acquired to take on a cruise as the cruise line s web site states knives with a blade 2 1/2 or less are okay. The one I usually carry has a blade that is 2 5/8 . The blade on this was advertised as 2/12 . I measured it upon arrival and it is EXACTLY 21/2 . (Gotta love that Swiss precision!) Now, we ll see if the cruise line in question abides by their own rules. 5Handy little pocket knife I just received my new Swiss Army knife today. It's really nice and I'm looking forward to using it. I originally had an SD, which I surrendered to TSA (I read an article stating smaller knives were going to be allowed on planes, but apparently that policy was never instituted). I'm glad I have one for everyday use again. The Recruit's a bit larger than the SD; and I think it's even more useful because of it. This one's a keeper. 5A Great SAK option for Everyday carry It's a genuine Swiss Army Knife - that says a lot right there. This is for occasions when all you need is a blade or two and the openers. The black plastic is a bit more 'classy' than the red, in my opinion. I'm glad that I bought it, as it's a great knife - however if you are only going to own one SAK for everyday carry, make sure that you consider the 'Cadet' before you pull the trigger on this one. I own both, and the Cadet is the one that gets a spot in my pocket almost every day. 5Genuine Quality Victorinox Purchased as a traveling companion gift for my wife. This is a quality Swiss Made Victorinox knife. The quality is all there. I own several different Victorinox knives and this quality is no different then the rest of them even the one bought on site in Switzerland. I would recommend this product highly. 5The Recruit may be 'The' pocket/briefcase/backpack/messenger-bag/shoulder-bag knife Just received this knife today. As others have said, it's sharp, razor sharp, out of the box. My only modification was to grind off the slip-ring receiver. I won't use this as a key ring; and I found the slip-ring receiver hits my hand oddly when using the smaller of the two blades. I have more pocket knives than any person needs, but I find this one has all the adaptability I might ask for in a near all-purpose utility knife.The size is just large enough for taking care of those tasks requiring a blade of some kind; and much smaller and lighter than many other single-blade knives. Even my other Victorinox knives I find to be too heavy and bulky to carry; but the recruit hits all the right marks for me. I may need one in red, too. Anyway, this diminutive knife just became an addition to my daily carry goods for pocket or messenger bag.UpdateI just honed this knife and it took exceptionally sharp edges (large and small blades). My sharpener has positions for either 30- or 40-degree angles; I chose 30 degrees for the Resruit.I recently bought and returned a Victorinox Pioneer with Alox handles. There Pioneer is much larger and s tad heavier than the Recruit. And for me, the Recruit is s more application-ready for the fault tasks for which I use this knife. The perfect-size-for-smaller-hands Recruit is my one and only daily carry. The smaller of three two blades is called into daily service.The Victorinox Recruit is an exceptional all-round knife. 5Great Knife This is a well made knife.I bought it to replace my 20 year old Victorinox which has been to hell and back.I am looking forward to getting the same satisfaction from this knife. 5Awesome alternative to Alox Cadet This is just like the Cadet but instead of the nail file you get a pen blade. The file on my Cadet scratched up the main blade and I didn't like that. This might be a bit thicker than the Cadet but it's a great alternative. Very classic looks 4Packs a lot of punch for a small knife. I love Swiss army knives. Genuine Swiss army knives. I use this knife on a daily basis. Sometimes dozens of times a day.It is small enough not to be bulky but big enough to be fully functional. I always have a bottle opener, can opener, very sharp small blade, and large utility blade with me. The tweezers and the toothpick are also very helpful. 5A great little pocket knife My grandpa got me (and the rest of the grandkids) an economy version one of these on his last trip to Switzerland in the 80s. I still have it.The one here is different in that the shield is embedded instead of stamped, and it also has a key/lanyard ring. The distinguishing features of this model are as such:- There are no tools on the back of the knife. While this may be viewed as a negative by some, it gives the advantage that the backsprings are smooth and flush with the back of the knife, and it is therefore more comfortable in the hand, especially during extended use.- It is the 3-1/4" size. (closed) This fits better in the hip pocket than the much more numerous 3-1/2" models. One can barely feel that it is there. If you like the smaller size, but want back tools, the Sportsman adds a corkscrew and reamer to the back, and drops the small blade in favor of a nail file. The Small Tinker (not available here at this time, despite the specs published here) adds a phillips and reamer to the back.I bought this knife as a whittler. I figured the smooth back would make it more comfortable in the hand, and I was right. One does need to remove the keyring and grind off the nub, though, for true comfort. I also got a little too creative trying to turn the can opener into a specialized carving tool. When I ground off the hook at the base of the tool, that messed up the stop, and now it closed all the way into the handle. It takes an act of God to get it out now, so I kind of ruined the knife. Oh well, it is still good for whittling!In stock form, the flat screwdriver tip on the bottle opener works well, and the small tip on the can opener works in a #2 phillips most times. Just take care that it doesn't close on your hand. 5
