Swiss Army Knives

[FishBearer9845]

Hello
I figured, for some reason, that this forum would be a good place to ask about Swiss Army knives.
I want to get one for my husband for Christmas but have no idea on best brands etc
I have about £50-£65 budget for this gift and would love some recommendations
Many thanks in advance

What is he looking for exactly? I have the Pioneer and it’s an amazing knife

 

[FishBearer9845]

I’m not entirely sure to be honest. He’s a nurse, so it comes naturally to have a pair of scissors and other bits as part of his job but I thought an all in one would be really nice for ‘everyday’

If he has a huge pocket and you hit the lottery, you could buy him this one.

85 Tool Swiss Army Knife: Giant, Useless, Amazing

Wenger, the inventor of the iconic pocket tool, has made this special edition to celebrate its 100th anniversary, and has rendered the device thoroughly useless by packing in every single blade ever featured in one of its knives – all 85 of 'em. It weighs almost three pounds, cost almost $1000...

this one looks pretty cool and useful
But it does weigh 6 oz.

It's on sale at least in the US on Amazon for $70.

All I can think of when someone says Swiss Army Knife, is MacGyver (the original one, not the new one).

You could get him something like a leatherman multi tool. Although for a nurse, you might want to get him some counseling and a hippy commune where he can unwind and relax.

We call that a toolbox overhere hahaha

I don't think a multitool could replace the very specific scissors that nurses uses. For other purposes Wenger, Victoinox and Leatherman are good products. Don't get carried away with the everything but the kitchen sink units.

Skip the Swiss army knife. Get him a Leatherman Wave Plus.

I never liked my victorinox knives because the blades don't lock. I'm too much of a clutz to use non-locking knives. I'd go with the leatherman, too.
