You Get What You Pay ForAug 10, 2010
By Johnny Saigon®
I got this for super cheap (five something), but from the photos it looked really good.
I didn't have high expectations for it, and I'm glad I didn't.
Superficially, it's very nice.
The wood handle gives it a feel that it's a lot more expensive.
However, when you try to open the tools, that's when you realize why it's so cheap.
It's not that the quality of the metal is bad, because it feels just like an authentic Swiss pocket knife.
It's just that it's almost impossible to pry these open.
Like another reviewer wrote, you do really need strong fingernails.
But that's not it, as the positions of the pits for you to pry the tools out are really poorly placed, or maybe just the tools themselves are poorly placed in relation to each other.
There are no spaces in between them to allow you to properly open them.
So then you try to open them on the tip side, which is also almost impossible.
I wouldn't say that I wouldn't recommend it, given that it's so cheap (maybe 5 times cheaper than the real thing), but like my title says - you get what you pay for.
Buyer beware!

 You get what you pay for...Jul 18, 2011
By Domingos
More of a novelty item than a functional tool. Many of the inserts stick and are difficult to pull out. My son, a Boy Scout, used this product for a day before I took it away for fear of injury due to the tools sticking.

 gud deal for moneyJul 29, 2010
By niks
the product is very nice, i used the knife and scissors in it, and worked well, also can be easily carried in pocket due to its small size
need strong fingernailsAug 08, 2010
By D. Neeley
The side containing the main set of tools was easy to open but the side with the secondary tools was very hard to open with out breaking a fingernail or other item used to raise the tool.
Could have been better designed for use out in the field.
Not bad, but not a swiss knifeAug 08, 2010

The Winchester Swiss style pocket knife is similar to the Victorinox Super Tinker. The Winchester knife is cheaper and has a saw blade suitable for cutting wood. It's also heavier, has sharp edges on the outside, and requires considerable force to open several of the tools. In fact, you'll need very strong finger nails or another metal tool to pry some tools open. Don't carry this in a pocket with a cell phone, as sharp edges of the knife may scratch the screen.
After carrying this for a while, I prefer the Victorinox Super Tinker that is lighter, has smooth edges, and includes tweazers and a Philips screwdriver bit that's closer to the common #2 size.
