Victorinox Cadet - knives (Stainless steel)

Absolutely fantastic - victorinox Swiss army knives are wonderful, and this model might just be my favourite for edc use: slim, lightweight, small but sturdy and has genuinely useful tools whilst not bulking up with unnecessary ones. Victorinox is so perfectly engineered - really really high quality fit and finish, these represent absolutely excellent value for money (compare them to summink like a leatherman... Bargain for what you get!). I really like the alox scales as they're tough, slim and look awesome. I'd been trying to find the perfect edc multitool with pliers so had been looking at all the usual suspects (leatherman, gerber, sog, etc etc) - all either really expensive, really heavy, or both - then it hit me - carry lightweight "real" pliers and a SAK - it's been a real revelation! I now carry a pair of 125mm Knipex mini cobra pliers, which are absolutely flipping womderful and beat the crud out of ANY multitool pliers, and a SAK: so I now have a lightweight, versatile edc that can seen me through most situations that's lighter and much cheaper than anything equivalent by leatherman or the others. I love this little victorinox tool - classic piece of kit that's stood the test of time, right!? 👌 I've got numerous different models but this one is just about perfect in terms size vs utility. Get one!!!

Why choose ALOX? It is thinner (1.3mm scales), lighter and more scratch resistant than the more common cellidor (plastic) scales and it looks better. Why choose a CADET? It has pretty well everything you may need on an edc knife; it is also lightweight and pocket friendly (47grams on my scales). The main blade is the same thickness as 'normal' 91mm SAKs and is plenty big enough for most tasks. The small reduction in length obviously makes it easier on the pocket and keeps the weight low. If you are a boy-scout, then a traditional multi-tool SAK may well to suit your needs better. There are so many variants that you can get pretty well whatever mix of tools you want - except a PoziDrive screw-driver (Come on Victorinox!). The 'Huntsman' meets my needs and is often the cheapest 91mm Victorinox knife on offer. The attached pictures should tell you most of what you need to know. The ALOX ARMY 2 is also a superb knife, exactly the same 47 grams on my scales but with a bigger & thicker blade plus a superb, thin hawksbill blade. It has thicker aluminium scales to make it the right thickness to hold and is also thoroughly recommended.

I got this after getting locked in a room when the door catch failed, Luckily I had a broken old screwdriver and a wallpaper stripper handy and managed to jimmy the catch - Before I found them I thought "I wish I had a pocket knife". The alox version is much thinner than the classic plastic version - I'm not sure which I like more style wise, there is something about the charm of the classic red plastic penknife you just can't get away from. I do like the rivets showing though. However, when it comes to daily use, as I carry it around in my pocket all the time, the alox version is much more suitable. Overall its just over half the width and lighter. The only down-side is not having tweezers. So far, the finish has held up well (silver), I'm glad I didn't go for a colour version. I got this version because of the nail file and screw-drivers. I occasionally use the bottle-opener and never use the can-opener. Being more of an urban knife (as suggested by the nail file!) the can opener seems a bit of an oddity to me - it has a super useful Philips screwdriver on the end though so it gets much more use that say a pair of scissors would. I have, while having a full tool-kit next to me working on my car gotten it out to use the screwdriver just because I put the proper one down somewhere and can't find it instantly. The blade is good - came very sharp. I have used it a few times and its a good size. There is no locking mechanism (probably partly due to UK laws) which means you have to be careful not to cut yourself. Overall I am very pleased, if I lost it I would get another.

This little knife is excellent. It contains all the tools you really need for the little jobs around the home or on a walk. Can opener with a small flat point screwdriver Wire stripper bottle opener and large flat point screwdriver excellent cutting blade and a small file which replaces the small cutting blade on other pocket knives. It also comes with a split ring for attaching to a keyring. You will not be disappointed with this

Wanted something with a bigger blade and tools than my tiny Victorinox Manager but not as large and weighty as my full size Victorinox Fieldmaster. This is perfect! It has all the tools I need day to day. A decent sized knife blade, can opener, bottle opener, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, and a very effective nail / general purpose file. It's the perfect size. The silver alox scales make it a true object of beauty and it's so thin and lightweight that I don't even feel it in my pocket. And of course it has that legendary Victorinox build quality which means it will last for years.

I love Victorinox knives. Always have done, there is a reassuring quality about them. The Cadet is no exception and i really like the tactility of the alox handles. Measuring 83mm in length, its a medium size pocket knife in the Victorinox line. Its nice and light and great for EDC (every day carry) I bought this one as its unusual to get a standard nail file on anything other than the smaller knife versions. The larger knives tend to have a full-on metal file for more serious work. The screw driver has a midpoint setting at 90° angle as well as the usual fold out point. The can opener is the same as the usual Victorinox ones - probably the best design ever made on any pocket knife and as usual the full size blade is very sharp out of the box. Its not the toughest of metal but is highly resistant to rust and easier to sharpen if it does go blunt. Only problem i have with mine is the nail file - if taken out in isolation, it doesn't always retract back to its home position without a little help... but its a small niggle. I will still give it 5 stars. TC

I like to have a sturdy knife for general opening duties ,amazon packages etc, but one that does not feel to heavy in the pocket ,my main goto knives are pictured ,the cadet ,the bantam and the classic ,each one offering slightly different abilities ,the cadet brings the best of these models in one package ,the classic scissors are great if not a little small and the bantam while being ultra thin has no key ring loop and can fall out of a pocket if not secured ,the cadet covers most jobs bar the scissors, while never feeling too small even at the slightly smaller length of 84mm,the finishing and edge sharpness are second to none as are all victorinox ,all the tools are time proven and work well with practice. The new style file has a more aggressive feel than the old version but not in a bad way and is probably more versatile. I waited for the cadet to come down to a fair price of 26 ish pounds ,the alox range have a unique feel as opposed to the plastic scaled versions and feel more solid.

One of the best basic edc knives you can get? Now if this had scissors I think it would be perfect! What a pity it's so hard to get pocket knives online these day's and I can't purchase from Amazon now for some reason?

Petit couteau de poche, fin et léger, pratique et Il est très bien fini. Plier il mesure 8cm de long et son épaisseur est de 7mm.

Resistente e confiável,ótima qualidade

Vorweg: Meiner Meinung nach, das beste Taschenmesser der Welt! Ich trage das Messer seit Jahren jeden Tag und bin absolut überzeugt davon. Vorteile: + Minimalistisch, aber alles dabei was man braucht + Lässt sich perfekt in der Hosentasche tragen. Durch die flachen Aluschalen und das kompakte Design trägt das Messer überhaupt nicht auf. Man bemerkt oft gar nicht, dass man es überhaupt dabei hat. + Perfekte Verarbeitung, wie man das von Victorinox gewöhnt ist. Alles passt und rastet satt ein. Besser gehts nicht. + Schlichtes, aber zeitlos elegantes Design. Sieht klassisch, sehr schön und edel aus. + Die Werkzeuge sind gut durchdacht und nützlich + Preis-Leistung stimmt. Wenn das Messer wirklich mal verloren geht hält sich der Schaden in Grenzen und man holt sich ein neues + SUPER Kundenservice von Victorinox + Lebenslange Garantie + Ein Punkt der meiner Meinung nach nicht zu unterschätzen ist: Es verschreckt niemanden. Soll heißen: Das Messer ist klein und sieht keinesfalls nach "Waffe" aus. Somit kann man es auch mal im Zug, in der Bar oder der Uni rausholen ohne dass man komische Blicke oder Sprüche kassiert. Nachteile: - Sehe ich keine Tipp: Ich würde ein kleines Kordel (gibts auch von Victorinox) oder etwas Paracord etc. an den Ring machen. Damit kann man es immer bequem aus der Tasche ziehen. Fazit: Absolute Kaufempfehlung für jeden der ein qualitativ hochwertiges, schickes und leichtes EDC-Messer sucht.

Med tanke på att den här fickkniven har två lager är den otroligt tunn och mer eller mindre försvinner i fickan. Känns nästan som en leksak när man först håller i den. Men den är väldigt användbar och håller en fantastisk kvalité.

El envío estaba bien embalado en el sobre de cartón habitual tamaño A3 de Amazon, pero al abrirlo la navaja venía fuera de su caja y la caja estaba aplastada. El transporte debería ser más cuidadoso con los paquetes. En cuanto a la navaja es muy ligera y fina, apenas se nota en el bolsillo. Los utensilios son adecuados para un uso diario en oficina o en casa. La calidad de los modelos alox es sobradamente conocida. El acabado alox le aporta resistencia a la vez que resalta la estética. Sin duda una de las compactas más útiles para llevar a diario.
