#  Why Every Man Needs A Swiss Army Knife  


 Victorinox is the definition of a heritage brand. Since 1897, its Swiss Army Knives have been a trusted tool for adventurers around the world. Made to master everyday situations, its products are still made in Switzerland – and the reasons we want one today are as numerous as the many functions you’ll find neatly tucked inside the iconic red cover of our favourite model…

The light and compact [Climber Pocket Knife](https://www.victorinox.com/en-GB/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/Climber/p/1.3703?utm_source=SL+Man&utm_medium=SLman_victorinoxwebsite_Climber&utm_campaign=SLMan_UK_NewsStory_Climber) is a multi-functional icon with a singular mission: to deliver peace of mind when preparing for anything, from climbing the corporate ladder to scaling mountains.

Moving house? Having an impromptu DIY weekend? Heading into the outdoors? The Climber is up to almost any task. With scissors, a multipurpose hook, a wire stripper and more, it encourages feelings of total preparation – whether in the city or the wilderness.

With 14 functions, it will be your constant companion all the way to the top: blade (large), blade (small), corkscrew, wire stripper, reamer, punch &amp; sewing awl, scissors, multipurpose hook, key ring, tweezers, toothpick, can opener, screwdriver (3mm), bottle opener and screwdriver (6mm).

## WHY WE RATE IT 

 

For us, the model that stands above them all is the 91mm Climber in the brand’s iconic red cover. Starting at £39, customisation is an option and, best of all, every knife comes with Victorinox’s lifetime warranty.
