The victorinox limited edition damast Swiss Army Knife is a head turner.
Although the details may be a little fuzzy from the years that separate then and now, I remember my first Swiss Army Knife. I was young and it was the thing that told me that I had arrived. I was now responsible enough to be trusted with my own knife. I remember being intrigued by all the different tools and feeling like I could now fix the world.
Having grown up a little, I now see the Swiss Army Knife for what it really is, one of the most useful tools in my pocket for urban or wilderness use, and I never leave home without mine anymore. My late friend, Ron Hood of Hoods Woods and Survival.com, used to swear by the Swiss Army Knife and even included a discussion on them in his video “Woods Master 4 Making and Using your Outdoor Survival Kit,” because it is one of “the most useful tools you can have on you.” It’s hard to argue with one of the world’s foremost leaders in wilderness survival.
Due to my personal love for and history with Swiss Army Knives it should come as no surprise that I was quite thrilled to be able to be one of the first people in the United States to see, hold, photograph and write-up the 2017 Limited Edition Damast Swiss Army Knife from Victorinox.

KITCHEN KNIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE DULL
I have a confession to make. See if this sounds familiar. I take meticulous care of the knives I use for everyday carry, hunting, and general woods wandering. I wipe them down with an oily cloth after use and I never let them get too dull. Seldom do I have to restore a damaged edge. Most of the time I simply touch up the edges of my pocketknives with a few careful strokes across the rough bottom of a ceramic coffee cup. That’s usually all that’s needed. I don’t use my knives as screwdrivers or pry bars. As a matter of fact, I still have the very first knife I ever owned, an old Boy Scout knife that was handed down from my older brother. The blades have a deep patina that comes with using carbon steel over the years, but the knife is very usable still.
