A great gift for yourself [Posted on 2008-06-16]
It is everything I have expected.
I am giving it four stars because I
cut myself when I try to pull the knife
blade out.

I've had my Swiss Army Ranger since February '08 and I must say it's one of the best gifts I've ever given myself, certainly the best thing I've bought on Amazon. Just some of the many uses I've found for it: I use the screwdrivers to tighten up screws on my laptop weekly, the sewing needle eye/leather awl for an art project which involved hole-punching carboard and threading the holes. The large knife used to pry up a metal sticker on my university-issued laptop which used some industrial adhesive, and the chisel to scrape off the remaining glue. The hole punch/leather awl to put extra holes in the ankle straps on a pair of sandals so I could tighten them. The nail file I use almost daily, also the small knife which is a handy envelope/box opener. Did I mention how awesome it is to have those handy supersharp scissors? Great for a quick manicure on the go. The metal hook is fascinating...I haven't used it yet but I have a feeling the day will come that I'll be more than grateful that it's there. Same with the saw, which I think outdoors-y people would get greater use from. Can/bottle openers I use more for their screwdrivers. I didn't find the corkscrew that efficient (it broke the cork twice) but I feel like you have to practice with it.
The only drawback I would attribute to the Ranger is its weight, which is understandable considering all it comes with but makes it kinda cumbersome for a keychain accessory, which I use it as. It's damn heavy, and when carrying a small handbag I usually take it off my keys but then it's greatly missed. I would suggest a smaller SAK for an everyday keychain, like the Super Tinker or Classic. The Ranger is heavy duty. I also wish it had a Phillips screwdriver, but with the larger SAKs there's always going to be tools you wish it came with to replace the ones you could live without.
Overall, a masterpiece in practical design, with thousands of uses. Just be wary of how heavy it is if you plan to carry it on a keychain.
Solid and Practical, A Great Value! [Posted on 2008-08-05]
The "Victorinox Swiss Army Ranger Pocket Knife" is one of the handiest tools I own. The 3 1/2" size is just right for slipping into my pocket when going hiking or puttering around my house working on my "Honey do" list.
The tools are surprising useful, especially the VERY SHARP knife, the practical scissors, the little sharp wood saw, and the great leather awl. The corkscrew also saved a "date night" with my wife when we inadvertently bought a bottle of wine with an actual cork :-) The only missing tool is a philips head screwdriver, but I knew that before ordering. This knife is like a portable tool box in your pocket and the solid construction will make it last for years!
Highly recommended!

Excellent product. Great combination of tools/blades, sharp, well-made and at slightly less than $20, an terrific value for the money. I'd highly recommend this knife.

Only sorry it was a xmas gift to an unexpected guest. Yeah I don't even know the dude and he never gave me my gift. Oh well I guess my karma will beat up his some day.
Just kidding.
Great knives.
