This gift set by Victorinox, the company that introduced the original Swiss Army knife in 1897, pairs a SwissTool Spirit Multitool with a Swiss Army Rally pocket knife. The multitool measures just 4-1/4 inches in length and weighs only 5-3/4 ounces yet offers 27 tools. Among features for campers are bottle and can openers, saw and knife blades, and scissors. Other tools include 2- , 3- , and 6-mm screwdrivers; needle-nose pliers; wire cutter; chisel/scraper; wire bender; wire stripper; and crate opener.
The handsome red pocket knife, just 2-1/4 inches long, has nine tools, including a knife blade, bottle opener, mini screwdriver, nail file, tweezers, and plastic toothpick. Completing the set in a leather belt pouch for the multitool. Swisstool Spirit Multitool is made of stainless steel, with a pair of folding pliers. Many tools open from the outside without disturbing the handles. Tools are controlled by springs that hold them securely in place open or closed. Both the multitool and the pocket knife carry a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
About Victorinox In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Spirit exudes quality, but its blade is an odd duckling:
I own Leatherman multi-tools including the new Wave, Pulse, Juice S2, Skeletool CX, Micra, Squirt S4, and Squirt P4. I also own about 20 Victorinox Swiss Army Knives ranging from nearly all the recent Alox models and many cellidor models including the old Champion, Swiss Champ, Swiss Champ XLT, and Cybertool 41. After owning all of these types of pocket knives and multi-tools, I can say that Victorinox makes the highest quality, highest consistency multi-tools and pocket knives. (Don't get me wrong, I like... more info
Vcitornox multi tool:
This was a gift for my son. He was very excited to get it. He especially liked the leather case that came with it. And the bonus pocket knife was nifty.
