Victorinox Swiss Army Multi-Tool, Tinker Pocket Knife

One week review of my Tinker as a new EDC. Foremost, VICTORINOX makes so many wonderful tools that analysis can become paralysis.My typical daily activities consist of, small projects around the house, opening way too many AMAZON boxes (😀) shooting range, saltwater surf fishing, bicycle riding and the fitness trail at the local park. So my goal was to find a knife that suited those situations and after way too much research I settled on the Tinker.Aesthetically the Sapphire Scales (while non traditional) are opaque and pleasing to the eye. The carry weight is surprisingly light, the Tinker’s size is ergonomically practical, the stainless blades and tools are of high quality, edges are sharp, the ‘Walk and Talk’ of the implements is what I would expect from VICTORINOX. The tools are easy to use and functional. Overall, the Tinker is an excellent choice for my lifestyle. Value for the money is so subjective but considering the quality and utility of the Tinker how can you go wrong?Note in the photograph that the smaller SD was a gift, inspiration for my Tinker and attached to my SUV FOB key chain. While the Tinker is on my ‘outdoor’ key chain. The Orange device is a whistle and the safety pin keeps my keys secure inside my pocket while active.Regrets or second guesses: do I miss the Scissors and the file? Well, I shouldn’t be picking my nails in public and both Tinker blades can do most tasks that a Scissor can handle. But…Lastly, there is a spot for a straight pin inside the Scale behind the Phillips Screwdriver so I ordered a few pins. As well as, the pen shaped sharpener, color coded tweezers and color coded toothpicks for both the Tinker and SD in the photos.Great product and highly recommended. But be careful not to fall into the 🐇 🕳️ that is VICTORINOX- just one more knife!Update: Just completed my first bushcraft project (Slingshot) with the Tinker using the small blade and awl. Full disclosure, used a LEATHERMAN saw to cut the large branches, so maybe a different knife choice would have been better? Working on the larger Slingshot later on.☮️

Well made, very handy to always carry. Blades are sharp, other tools work well

I have been carrying Swiss Army Tinker pocket knives for 3 decades and counting. It's my personal choice because it's not bulky, but has the tools I use most on it. As with most multitool knives the screwdrivers aren't nearly as good as having an actual screwdriver, but when needed they're always better than nothing. However most other tools are very ergonomic and about equivalent to using a dedicated tool.Also they're very high quality, the only reason I am buying a new one is my 30 year old tinker has disappeared. (I suspect it fell out of my pocket somewhere while I was walking or sitting around)

Wanted a light weight multipurpose knife for a backpack its really sharp and time tested works great for fishing and small chores around the camp site or on the trail

GREAT PERFECT!

The simplest of the two Tinker styles, lightweight enuf to carry on walks to take plant cuttings.The see-thru sapphire blue is beautiful.High quality.Need fingernails to open out parts!

My pops always carried one so I wanted to get one as well, it’s great and would’ve been five stars but it came with some deep scratches.

Small product with outsized features. I never leave home without it.

Das Messer ist super, aber der Preis, Junge, Junge!!!! Dafür habe ich es jetzt in der Farbe die ich haben wollte.

Excelente qualidade, padrão victorinox

Esta marca es muy buena y sus navajas excelentes

Excelente precio e inigualable calidad.

Exactly what you're expecting from a Swiss Army knife. Delivery was weird the date kept changing. However it was still delivered on time. This was annoying but not enough to drop stars.
