My dad gave me this Explorer model Victorinox Swiss Army knife when I was 16 or so. I know that it was manufactured before 1991, because it doesn’t have the updated hook.
While it’s neat accessory feature is the magnifying glass–for inspecting small things or helping start a fire when the sun is out, the part that I’ve used the most is the in-line Phillips screwdriver in the top layer tools. Unlike models with the back-side Phillips, the in-line screwdriver works in so many more situations. In particular, I can’t count how many computers I’ve worked on with this knife’s screwdriver–removing cases, installing components, etc. It has held up remarkably well over the years despite how often I’ve used it. However, it does need a proper cleaning.
