Of all the SAK’s out there, the Deluxe Tinker is my favorite. It’s small enough to comfortably stay in your pocket (instead of those side pouches many of the larger models require), and every single tool in the collection is useable. While I own eight different Swiss Army Knives, this is the one I constantly grab when it’s time to go. The only problem I had with it is the scissors. The small metal piece that pushes the blades apart got twisted once when I let someone borrow my knife (never again) and I could never get it to work right after that. I recently purchased my second to let my first retire after several long years of rugged use. If not for the scissors getting messed up, I’d still be using it today. After years of daily use, it’s still good. The blades have had to be sharpened and there are a few chips out of the red cover, but I have no complaints with the quality. It holds up to hard usage.

Swiss Army 53481 Deluxe Tinker Review Review by Charles M., June 11, 2008
I have always used a leatherman but recently got rid of my leatherman for this knife. Victorinox is the best at making a swiss army knife that is both practical and expendable. Pablo said it best, this has the best of both worlds.
Swiss Army 53481 Deluxe Tinker Review Review by Pablo Brown, September 11, 2008
I love the knife, it cuts good. I use the scissors to cut open stuff. The can opener is used all the time, and the i always use my toothpick. This is a kitchen in your pocket.
so good
