    Comments about Swiss Army Camper:

    An excellent knife, like almost all of the Victorinox Swiss Army knives. This one is more suited to camping and outdoors. The climber model with the scissors is probably a more appropriate knife for urban use.

    Regarding the review below, the only people who think the saw blade is useless are those who've never used it. The swiss army saw is actually a very capable and useful saw. I've cut through 3 inch branches with ease. Also works great on crusty bread and ropes, cables and seat belt material. Definitely not a gimmick. Give it a try and you may be surprised.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Swiss Army Camper:

        At the campsite, my kid finds straight deadfall branches, then fashions them into walking poles. This saw works great for that task... he cuts little branch after little branch after little branch off of the big branch. A good tool for a kid at the campsite.

        It's a good tool for him. Effective and hasn't worn out.

        I also let him cut all the small Buckthorn trees (invasive) he can... and it goes them them easily.

        Rest is all what you expect in an SA knife.

        But seriously, who uses a corkscrew when camping?

        Comments about Swiss Army Camper:

        I love this knife every time I go camping or hiking I use it. I think the best use of this knife is to whittle with it and to make shavings for a fire. The greatest things about this knife are the sharp blade and the saw. The only thing I dont like about it is that its hard to clean.

        Comments about Swiss Army Camper:

        As with all Victorinox Swiss Army knives, this is a quality product. Yet, I would recommend getting the Spartan version instead. The Spartan does not have the saw blade, which is pretty useless and just adds weight. (The Spartan is sometimes named the "camper", so there can be confusion.) I have owned a number of different Victorinox Swiss Army knives. As they get lost, stolen, or taken by airline security, I just buy another. I strongly recommend the Spartan, why carry the extra weight of gimmick blades that you will not use?
