Well made02/16/2025 ByKeith As I was looking for a pocket knife, I wanted something with more than just a blade. I was drawn to the Pioneer by Victorinox which had a good reputation and a long history that I found to be intriguing. It fits nicely in my pocket and is not overly aggressive. The delivery by KP was quick and the price was reasonable. I would recommend this low key, but enough, pocket knife.
Victorinox 53960 Pioneer07/07/2018 ByDon When looking for a general purpose pocket knife, as an owner of several different Victorinox knifes, each having a specific use, I looked no further than Victorinox. I have had an older Electrician model which I keep in my electrical repair tool box, which led me to look at the Pioneer, being similar, no need to look further. An online search led me to Knives Plus, easy to use web page, very easy to use check out, and super quick delivery. Knives Plus will be my first stop for any future knife purchase.
True Everyday Carry03/15/2016 ByPhil I have carried a Pioneer since 1988. (This one is a retirement gift for a colleague.) It is the most useful, versatile, and practical knife that's also comfortable to carry, unlikely to violate any laws or ordinances, and not threatening to non-knife people. Placed in the same pocket as my wallet, it stays vertical and doesn't rub on my leg. It's the same as the one issued to the Swiss Army for decades, except it has a ring attached, which is useful for a lanyard. The tools are basic, but strong. The awl is great for starting screws in wood and dry wall, and the two screw drivers can handle most Phillips and flat head screws. The knife blade is thicker than on most SAKs and is just long enough to be useful for food prep. Mine has held up well over the years with minimal maintenance. If it becomes really dirty, just open it all up and put it in the dishwasher. Then oil its joints. Sharpening is easy, too. It's not sexy or tactical, but it sure is useful and easy to live with.

Excellent. Great quality.07/18/2015 ByMark R If you don't like the bulky leatherman style utility tools but need/want some of the tools, buy this slim but quality knife. Personally I like this over the Cadet because of the reamer. The ALOX handle screams quality and style. 5 stars.
Great all purpose pocket knife07/16/2015 ByMitch Received the knife as promised and as ordered. Good service. I would buy again from Knives Plus.
This knife was to replace the same model that I carried for 20+ years and lost recently. I like having all the extra tools and a single blade that holds a good edge. I also like having the metal handles vs. other materials. The all metal knife can take a lot abuse and last a life time, provided it is not lost or misplaced in a very safe place.
I recommend buying your next knife from Knives Plus
