This is my first larger Swiss Army knife. I was surprised at how well it fits in the hand. It isn’t overloaded with unnecessary features. The blade sticks out enough that, with a bit of practice, you can open it with one hand. The lock holds the blade firmly. The matte scales feel nice to the touch.

Good Swiss Army knife, quite big. Until now, I’ve used a smaller model. This one has a blade lock, which is very useful. It will come in handy on various trips, camping, or on a boat.

Victorinox Picknicker is a real "machine" – it has a large locking blade like the Sentinel and other tools typical for Swiss Army knives :) It can serve as your only EDC; it’s quite heavy (which is understandable with so many tools), but it feels comfortable in the hand.

Very good Swiss Army knife, previously available under the WENGER brand, but since Victorinox took over the company, it’s sold under this name. Great knife for trips, the mountains, or excursions.

The nylon scales are comfortable and resistant to scratches, unlike the plastic ones from the company's smaller Swiss Army knives. There aren’t many tools, but for most camp tasks, more aren't needed. Fewer functions mean the knife isn't too thick, making it slimmer and easier to fit in your pocket. However, I still recommend a dedicated sheath, since it’s more convenient to carry on your belt (then any extra thickness doesn’t matter). People who like minimalism will choose the version with just the blade anyway.

It's like a Forester, just without the saw, but a forester doesn't really need a saw. I highly recommend the build quality and the way the lock works when closing.

Victorinox – that's already an assessment in itself. Top-level quality, as always with this brand.

Excellent. It doesn’t disappear in the hand like those smaller models.

If you don’t need a folder for your EDC, and the classic Victorinox seems too small to you, this model will be perfect for urban EDC!

Very good Swiss Army knife. Perfect for everyday use — not too big, not too small (the Ranger is better for trips). It's sturdy, and in my example there’s no play in the blade, although I’ve heard that older models sometimes had it. WARNING — very sharp, I managed to shave my arm with no problem (although not perfectly).

A very pleasant knife, it's just a shame it's matte, but even so it's great.

Great Swiss Army knife, solid and very sharp!
