In addition to the classic red Swiss Army Knife, MacGyver might also choose a proper multi-tool for today's challenges, and so should you – Victorinox is also the choice of the Finnish Defence Forces! This multi-tool features pliers, a knife, scissors, a can opener, and a seatbelt cutter, plus many more.
Features
The Victorinox SwissTool Spirit MXBS may have a long name, but it's a medium-sized multi-tool. There are 24 different functions – the knife blade and serrated seatbelt cutter can be opened with one hand. The tool's metallic black color is achieved through an oxidation process, which means a corrosion-resistant substance has been absorbed into the surface over an extended period. You may experience some black residue on your hands during the initial uses, but this will quickly stop. The blades and tools of this multi-tool lock into place.
