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.

I've seen a decent one here in Kyrgyzstan selling at lower than the UK retail price, seems the real deal. Thanks for the advice.

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.

It's just for general use, to be honest though, I never remember needing anything on it, I just like them and think I could find a use for most of the things now and again.

Victorinox would like to apologise to bot6 for using only pretty average steel. I'm sure they will try harder now that he has pointed out this shortcoming..

In my experience victorinox are the best. Other makes seem to fall apart, stop opening or rust.

My one has a little pair of pliers which is actually really useful and well made.

For the money I think they are the best made pocket knives in the world.
