Incredible Nov 29, 2007 By Joost DMK (New York, NY)
This is a great piece. I got it for my father in law. Its a sturdy knife and appears more than durable. The victorinox website lays out all of the features but it doesnt describe the size. This is a big knife. The blade is big, the seatbelt cutter is big, the grip is big. Its larger and thicker than a standard pocket knife because thats not what its intended for. That being said the grip fits comfortably in hand and it comes with a nylon case with belt loop. I wouldnt recommend trying to take it on a plane or anywhere where you might get frisked, as due to the size, authorities might mistake it for a weapon. But as an in car safety tool, I dont think you could ask for more.

I also want to note that the Chelsea Watch Co., whom I purchased the knife from, was excellent. I ordered the knife on monday, asked for expedited shipping, and had it in hand when I got home from work on wednesday. Not only that, but they were the only ones who had the knife in stock anywhere in NY or on websites that I could find.

This gets my full endorsement.

Fantastic upgrade ot the classic version Jan 17, 2009 By Rossat Julien
Being Swiss, it's even a little harder not to be overenthusiastic about the Wenger/Victorinox contribution to the Great Outdoors. After a trip around the world backpacking, dragging the hunter's version trough grit/sand and salt, with utter confidence and only minimal maintenance, I'm still amazed they could come with an even better one.
My favourite is the protected tip blade, I find it well designed, of useful size and angulation. One feels safe to use it on a victim. We use it to cut heavy ski jackets and trousers open, cut safety belt, and it works like the dedicated pound-heavy hospital tool. The locking blade is easy to open and its serrations are dead on for the thick rope or tough rubber.
It is heavier than the camping/hunting version BUT the added features and traditional ruggedness outweigh that disadvantage.

Close toPerfect May 23, 2008 By Pilgrim
I first saw this tool showcased in Outside magazine. After researching it quite a bit, I thought it seemed like a great rescue tool. I have not been disappointed. It's an extremely durable tool. I especially like the blade and the screw drivers are as sturdy as I've ever seen on a multipurpose tool. The only thing I disliked was the sheath. I went to a local saddle shop and had a leather sheath handmade. ALthough a little heavy, I highly recommend it for backpacking and other outdoor use.

I think I'll keep it... Jun 12, 2009 By B. Fischer
I'm beginning to like the Rescue Tool more all the time. Initially I was going to send it back but now I think I'll keep it. It's well-constructed, pretty well-designed and it GLOWS IN THE DARK! How cool is that? It's also a bit of a handful but I think that's a plus since you need a bit of leverage and a solid grip to operate it properly anyway. The seatbelt cutter is amazingly sharp and easy to deploy and both screwdrivers are very substantial. I'm not sure I'll ever use the glass saw but it's nice to have anyway. My only complaints revolve around the large locking blade. It's got a weird partial serration that runs back from the tip. It should be either be fully serrated or better yet, not serrated at all so it could be sharpened. My other issue is that the liner lock is counter-intuitive. Instead of pushing it with your thumb to release the blade you have to pull it toward you. It's awkward to operate and makes it hard to close the knife one-handed. The mystery is that the liner-lock for the screwdriver blade works the proper way. I'd give this thing five stars if they changed the blade serrations and liner-lock but it's still a good product and well worth the money.

The Victorinox Rescue Tool Mar 07, 2011 By ffks999
The Victorinox Rescue Tool is a great rescue tool. I am a firefighter and have found the knife easy to use even in service gloves and the blades are all sharper than expected. this is a great tool for any rescue workers.
