The Four Cornerstones of Victorinox
The various tools of a Swiss Army Knife are manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely tuned features that are essential for the particular application. The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. Every knife embodies our four cornerstones: quality, functionality, innovation and iconic design.
Functionality
The Swiss Army Knife is the ultimate multi-tool. Whether you need a magnifying glass to read fine print or a metal saw to cut through iron, the Swiss Army knife has your back. In addition to a blade, these gadgets include various implements such as screwdrivers, bottle openers, and scissors.
Innovation is our Tradition
Innovation is our tradition and has been ever since we patented the first Swiss Army Knife in 1897. Here in the Swiss Knife Valley, we take lumps of molten steel and blend with generations of experience to forge knives which are loved all over the world. As we continue to find new ways to improve our knives we also strive to apply better solutions that meet new requirements and our customers unarticulated needs.
Iconic Design
In 1891 Karl Elsener, the owner of Victorinox, was under contract by the Swiss Army to produce a folding pocket knife to be suitable for use by soldiers for opening canned food and disassembling the Swiss service rifle. Elsener invented a special spring mechanism allowing him to attach the tools on both sides of the handle, using the same spring to hold the tools in place. This innovative design meant Elsener could put twice as many features on the knife, which included a blade, a second smaller cutting blade, reamer, can-opener, screwdriver, corkscrew, and wood fiber grips. The Swiss Army Knife is the most recognizable icon of utility and smart design, and the knives are still made exclusively in only two factories in Switzerland.

First, it just looks and feels fantastic. The yellow is not as "bright" as appears in pictures, think that's the lighting. The primary "best thing" is that it has all the best of the Wenger tools (who originally designed and produced it) and all the best of Victorinox tools wherever they would be an "upgrade". I'll digress a moment here to say that I think the Victorinox tools are, when speaking generally; better. But it's not the case 100% of the time, and there's a few places where Wenger tools do come out ahead. But on this model, wherever Victorinox had the better tool, it went in. Wherever Wenger had it right, their design stayed. Here's the run-down: The awl/reamer is just a pointy, unsharpened spike on the Wenger model. Yeah, it'd work, but the Victorinox has the eyelet, is sharpened, and has a hollow grind on one side. The Victorinox reamer is simply better and it was incorporated. The Wenger toothpicks are sharper, but also shorter and a bit flimsier. WIth the tweezers, it's less clear, the Wenger is spot-welded & doesn't have the plastic tip. If the tip is the only thing connecting the two sides on the Victorinox, the Wenger might win this, but I can't tell. I think the plastic tip aids in getting it out and in handling. Additionally, the Victorinox seats their location (on all models, as far as I know) on the outside of the scales. I think they are easier to access from there, but I understand those who feel the Wenger design preserves more of the round edge look of the scales. I prefer the Victorinox designs and location, and both are replaced by Victorinox versions on this model. The saw is still Wenger, and the tip has more of a downward drop that might help keep it from pulling it all the way out of the cut you're making. Probably an advantage and disadvantage, but the difference is so minimal that I just don't think it matters. The Wenger main blade was kept and has a little more belly to it making the cutting length just slightly longer. But, like the saw, this difference is too minimal to factor in. I'd consider it a plus if I considered it at all. Same steel I believe. But, unlike [maybe all] the Victorinox models in this size category, the blade locks. I love that. They do make a non-locking version, the 18 - no "S", Some will mind the push-button style release, and I get their arguments, but having edc'd this model for a many weeks now, I have zero beef with it. Another example is the flat head screwdriver. The Wenger design has in an internal lock to it. If pushed hard, when you're really bearing down on a tight screw, the blade moves inward, very slightly on a spring. It recesses into the knife and engages a lock. Won't close up on you. Locks on it's own when pressed on firmly. Wenger design, very slick. Lastly, the can opener: for no valid reason I prefer the cut-away-from-you design of the Victorinox model. It's what I've always had/used. Either works fine, I've compared the two. It's personal preference only, but I do prefer the Victorinox design for another reason besides familiarity. There's a more significant trade off in my opinion: The Wenger can opener doubles as an excellent box-blade which can cut cargo tape and open boxes very well with a pull stroke. That's a very handy "second blade", sort of - it's not sharpened to a honed edge but works well for things like this. That's "two-tools-in-one" for the Wenger can opener. That said, the Victorinox can opener also has a small flat head driver on it, but this also doubles as a small 2D phillips driver. That's "three-tools-in-one" for the Victorinox. For me, the Victorinox wins there too, and I'm glad that Victorinox version replaced the Wenger version there as well. In all, at least four tools were were replaced with the Victorinox versions on this model. Oh, the scissors: I like the Wenger design better and it was retained. The spring design is feels sturdier and the blades have micro-serrations. One would think the serrations a drawback until they go to cut a cable tie. The Wenger hangs on and bites into slipperier things like that. The Victorinox kind of "pushes" things away. Definitely makes a difference. Either will cut paper so I give the advantage to Wenger here and it too, was retained. All this leaves out the scales, the shape of which (I think) is a Wenger design. The ergos of the shape and inlays are just fabulous. I do wish the scales were mated flush with the tools on the bottom like all my other Victorinox knives are, but I can over look the small overlap to gain the rest of the awesomeness of the Wenger grip design (now incorporated in several Victorinox patterns, overlap and all). This knife is still available in the all-Wenger design and also in this "hybrid" Victorinox-branded model. I'm glad I chose it and I think it's better for all the reasons I just went through. I wish neither one of them had the nail file, would prefer a second small blade instead. That said, the tip of the nail file doubles as a #1 2D Phillips driver often enough to be useful. I've also used it to pry molded plastic parts apart without having to dull my knife blade. You dads opening toy battery covers know what I'm talking about.
This knife has replaced my other models for weekday edc (Every Day Carry). Very easy to carry in work slacks. I still opt for the stoutness of my Hercules model on weekends when I have jeans or cargo shorts with heavier fabric and deeper pockets, and I'm not driving so much where the fabric pulls tighter on the leg. I absolutely love this model and heartily recommend it to anyone trying to buy "the one" Swiss Army Knife to edc. I live in the sticks and use the saw, but if you're not likely to need that, I believe the S16 is the same model without the saw. It'll be a bit thinner & lighter and is also available in a non-locking version, the 16. All in all I completely recommend the S18 (or 16) and would opt for the Victorinox version first.
3 YEAR UPDATE: Of all the SAK's I own, this would still be the last to go if I had to surrender them one at a time. I have changed over to carrying my Explorer model at the office, however, as I find the tool set more suited to an office environment. That said, I still feel the S18 has the best 'over-all' tool set if confining my choice to only one SAK. The rubber grips have held up just fine and there's been no issues around reliability at all - which holds true for my other SAK's as well. A testament to the brand. My S18 is still found in my pocket every weekend, and more, without fail. Other than routine sharpening (ceramic rod) and a little oil, it gets nothing but use. Still offer my sturdiest of recommendations to this model.
But there were two surprises. (1) The smaller, secondary blade is gone, although in the product pictures it appears to be present. It's been replaced by an identically shaped... nail gunk scraper-outer (?) with a small rectangle of file-like material on the side. This is NOT what I wanted, and I see no real use for it.
(2) The knife is a LOT lighter than red Swiss Army Knives with the same blades and accessories. That seems to be due to the low density of the yellow plastic. Only time will tell if this is a result of a new, high-tech yellow polymer that saves weight without skimping on strength, or just cheap plastic that will break easily.
ADDENDUM: After three years of use, it's clear that the yellow material of this knife is extremely resilient, and the grippy surface is as well.
After carrying this knife around for about 2 weeks my thoughts have been changed. I've come accustomed to the size and slight bulk in my pocket, actually finding it's not so bad after all. Some might say this is border line for needing a belt-sheath but if that were the case I have a Kobalt tool without scissors but with pliers. Another product would be a Leatherman which I also lost, but those are also much larger needing a sheath as well. This fits the bill for having the tools I need, being small enough to keep in my pocket, a solid feel to it, formed to fit in your hand, all that AND the black and gold colors I so dearly love! And by the way, the scissors - the item I had to have on whatever I bought - are sharp, solidly built, and have a nice spring action to boot! This Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife has already helped me out on three or four occasions in so short a time. The reputation of Victorinox is still intact! Another great product that will last a lifetime - as long as I don't lose it like the others.

Pros.
-The scissors are serrated, and super sharp.
-Has all the classic Swiss Army tools.
-Has a nail file (trust me, I never thought I'd use it but that little guy is handy)
-All tools and blade are made from high quality stainless steel. No rust.
-The blade has a VERY effective and easy to operate locking mechanism. The extra security is very nice when doing a bit of heavy cutting. Although it is a great lock, this knife is not made for extra heavy camp chores such as batoning.
-The yellow is beautiful and vibrant. It stands out and would be difficult to miss place.
-The new style "Evo Grip" is actually a nice change as it does as advertised. It feels much more secure in the hand.
Cons.
-I love the lock. But it is slightly raised. Some may find it uncomfortable to their index finger while doing heavy cutting. I personally think it's fine. Although my only complaint is that the lock sometimes snags your pocket while trying to pull it out. Not a big deal, the lock is totally worth the extra hassle.
-My biggest complaint is the spring on the scissors. After a year of use the spring tends to slip sideways quite often. (falling off the scissors) Swiss Army has a great warranty backing their tools, and I will send it away to get fixed.
All in all, a very awesome knife. I purchased it a year ago when the price was $80.00. You won't be dissapointed.
I would say I'd buy it again, but they last a lifetime.
