Review: You can't go wrong with a SAK!!! - Swiss Army Knives made by Victorinox are still the best out there and still a fair value. Overall the Forester has what I need, a locking main blade, awl and a great little saw. I spend most of my time outdoors in the desert southwest region, so this meets all my needs because I'm not dealing with large diameter trees. I like this larger format as a one tool option over the standard size.
Review: Light duty bushcraft tool - The usual excellent fitment and quality control one expects from Victorinox. The Forester is the more bushcraft oriented tool than the comparable 111mm One Hand Trekker. The larger non-serrated blade is easier to use simply because the spine is flat and more comfortable for resting the thumb when carving and the lack of serrations makes it far easier to sharpen/strop. Don't dismiss the corkscrew as it is useful for loosening knots and serves as a handy storage device for holding a 3/32 inch ferrocerium rod. Wrap the rod and corkscrew with some heavily waxed jute twine and you have excellent tinder for fire starting. Use bees wax as it is slightly sticky and will keep it adhered to the corkscrew and rod. The back of the saw blade also serves as a very good striker for a ferrocerium fire starter rod. The saw is certainly adequate for cutting notches and the like. This is a fairly large knife and a sheath/pouch can be a more comfortable way to carry it. Victorinox makes a pouch or you can make your own by waxing some cotton demin and hand stitching it into a usable carrier. Waxing the cotton demin will make it water repellent and in an emergency it can serve as tinder for a starting a fire.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have the larger locking screwdriver and liner lock blade also?**
A: The larger screwdriver does lock, doing it by having a piece of metal that springs into the base of the blade, thereby locking it. So you have to unlock it by pushing that metal out of the way. The blade locks the same way also.

**Q: Where is this made? thx**
A: This knife is a genuine Victorinox, made in Switzerland.

**Q: How much does it weigh in ounces?**
A: My kitchen scale says 127 grams or 4.50 ounces

**Q: What is the steel? It saus first cless stainless but it doesnt state what it is.**
A: Victorinox doesn't advertise the composition of their steel, but it's a high amount of Chromium and a medium amount of Carbon. Their process is more or less a trade secret, but usually it's one of these grades X55CrMo14, X50CrMoV15, X46Cr13 and X38CrMo14--at least according to some sources. And it depends on the knife and/or tools found in the knife.
