Victorinox Swiss Army Farmer
Company:
Victorinox was founded in 1884 by Karl Elsener I in his culter's workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland. The company's name is derived from the amalgamation of Elsener's mother's name, Victoria, and "Inox," the international term for stainless steel. Victorinox is now managed by the fourth generation of the Elsener family; the comapny celebrated its 130th year anniversary in 2014.

Review:
The Victorinox Farmer is a "medium pocket knife with a wood saw," according to Victorinox's website. The knife pays homage to the Soldier's knife with the addition of a saw, which is sharp and able to cut through wood and softer materials. The knife itself does not have scissors, a toothpick or tweezers, but it is still durable and useful as a daily carry item. The Alox scales provide a strong grip for the user; the knife itself is relatively light and compact; the components of the knife are sturdy enough to last with frequent use; and, as a Swiss Army Knife, the farmer has excellent build quality.
For the aforementioned reasons, the Victorinox Farmer is recommended by Lion Stationers. It can be purchased from the following vendors:
