Victorinox Recruit Knife

The Victorinox Recruit Swiss Army knife is a light and compact pocket knife that still contains all of the basic tools and blades that you might need, in a convenient medium-sized format that is not bulky in your pocket. In fact, the Recruit knife only weighs 50 grams (about 1 3/4 oz), which is the weight of about a dollar's worth of change. Yet it still delivers a full complement of useful tools.

NOTE-- This model has also been called the Squatter Swiss Army knife. The matte version has also been called the Driver knife.
