Swiss Army knives are legendary for their versatile functionality to the point that the modifier “Swiss Army knife” is now used to describe anything that does a lot of different jobs. And right now, all that functionality is available at a steep discount at Amazon.
The Victorinox Explorer Swiss Army Knife is on sale for $45, a solid 31% off its list price of $65. It’s a fairly moderate model in terms of both price and the number (16) of functions it offers. You’ll also find the signature red exterior with Victorinox’s white Greek cross, the same found on the Swiss flag, on a red shield.
Victorinox says this particular Swiss-made knife is designed for “the curious at heart,” which explains why among its 16 functions are a magnifying glass and a keychain that makes it hard to lose. The knife also includes a large and small blade, scissors, three screwdrivers, awl, can and bottle openers, tweezers, wire stripper, multipurpose hook, and a toothpick and corkscrew for the gourmands of the world. These tools fold out from both ends of the knife and the center, the only way they could fit this many tools in a knife that’s just over 3.5 inches long and weighs just over 3.5 ounces. Everything is made of stainless steel save the red hard plastic exterior.

One shopper called this knife the “best multi-purpose knife out there.” Another agreed that it’s “the only Swiss Army knife you should own” because it’s “sharp and durable” as well as “the best looking of the bunch.”
Other customers raved that this knife offers a “very useful combination of tools” in a “super quality” package. It’s “sturdily built, and the functions are very useful.”
The other thread that runs through the reviews is longevity. Shoppers often mention that they’re buying a new knife as a gift for a young person or replacement for a lost one. The Victorinox Explorer Swiss Army Knife is rarely broken or damaged, in other words, a testament to its quality and a reason why it has so many repeat customers. Don’t miss your chance to get one for $45, a standout deal on a standout tool.
