There are hundreds of models of Swiss Army Knives, each with its own set of tools and appearance. It’s hard to pick just one above all the others, but if you only have one choice for EDC, consider the Victorinox Pioneer.
With the Pioneer being the civilian version of the Soldier — “the true Swiss Army Knife” — it has everything you need to get by, nothing more and nothing less.
The Pioneer has eight functions. It has a large blade, reamer, can opener with small screwdrvier, bottle opener with large screwdriver and wire stripper, and key ring.
Instead of using the classic red cellidor scales found in the familiar models, the Pioneer uses handsome silver Alox aluminum scales. It brings a level of classiness and versatility hard to mimic in other models.
With an overall length of 3.7 inches and a weight of 2.5 ounces, you can take this Swiss Army Knife with you everywhere you go without issue.
