Victorinox Evolution S557 Grip Swiss Army Knife, 21 Function Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Screwdriver and Wire Stripper - Evolution S557 Grip Red/Black

The Victorinox S557 is a good and versatile knife with many different tools. It looks and feels slightly different than most Victorinox knives, with its contoured scales and locking blade, since it is based on the Wenger Evo S557 (Victorinox acquired Wenger in 2005). In terms of size and functionality, I find it quite similar to another great Victorinox, the Handyman. In fact, the S557 is almost exactly the same height, but a bit shorter than the Handyman. The S557 looks and feels a bit more clunky and less streamlined than the Handyman, but the Wenger overall seems to have a broader range of tools and includes an inline Philips screwdriver, among other things. Overall a great and versatile little knife. Pros: - Many useful functions/tools (seems to be a bit more versatile than the Handyman) - Shorter and lighter than its sibling, the Victorinox Handyman - Locking knife blade (lower risk of cutting yourself) Cons: - Looks and feels a bit more clunky than its sibling, the Handyman - Somewhat thick (but still fits comfortably in the pocket) - Locking knife blade (may not be legal to carry in all countries) - The locking mechanism feels quite prominent on the side of the knife - I imagine it might annoy your hand, if you use the tool a lot

Buena calidad según lo previsto. Queda probarlo, por ahora contento con el producto evogrip S557 con 21 servicios. El vendedor estuvo pendiente de comunicarme las fechas previstas para recibirlo.

As always quick delivery and item was correct and very well made.

Re: Victorinox Swiss Army Knife S557. I can’t speak to any other model. I have two of these Victorinox Swiss Army EvoGrip Swiss Army Knife Model S557. In reality these “knives” are small, light duty, versatile multitools. I also have a bunch of other Swiss Army Knives. This model emphasizes having a variety of tools not having more than one knife, or a long knife, or a super study knife. The tools are clearly aimed at light duty use. I seen low ratings that actually reflect a lack of research or hands on experience rather than a flaw with the device itself. (A few reviews address actual flaws and some of those reviews indicated that both Amazon worked to address real construction issues. It will be interesting to see how Victorinox handles the consolidation of its one time competitor, Wenger. This model is from the Wenger Line.) All the tools of both of my S557s work flawlessly. However I won’t be using them for heavy duty tasks. I’d switch to a Full Sized SwissTool or a Full Sized Leatherman or skip right to well made individual tools. With respect to everyday carry, depending on the day, carrying this device might be my only tool I carry. It is bulky. If I’m wearing dress pants I’d likely carry a Tinker or a Spartan if I think a corkscrew will be needed. Heavier Chinos or Jeans permit a Super Tinker or Deluxe Tinker or when wearing cargo pants this, the EvoGrip S557. I may or may not believe a study, good quality folding knife might also be necessary.

It’s a bit in the big side but I love all the functions. Great quality.
