Pros & Cons
Pros
This feels stronger, thicker bladed, yet slimmer for the pocket. Almost the ideal size - only 2 layers thick and 92mm or so long. The big blade is thicker than the 91mm red knives.

Price is right aswell! Nicely made, feels quality with useful tools. Baffles me how they can make such a high quality item at such a low price.

The box was a bit crushed even with the amazon packaging.
Competitiveness
Also the useful addition of a sheep’s foot blade should be a game-changer with fireside whittling and bushcraft.
The small combo tools is as expected fro other such victorinox products.
Big blade has a 62mm (just under 2.
