I kind of thought the Victorinox ones were the only authentic ones. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Yes, they're very good. Most of the other ones I've owned have been crap.

Are Victorinox any good? Are there any better brands?
Forschner knives are the finest professional cutlery known to man. Anything else is second rate. The plasctic handles have the name Victorinox on them, which leads me to believe the Swiss army knives have blades made by Forschner, or the 2 companies are the same or related.

ya their a well made knife. the steal is pretty average though. but if your just going to beat the crap out of it camping or something, then their great.
