Coghlan'sFolding Multi-Tool Army Knife

Absolutely epic swiss army style tool, as the title says, Victorinox quality, in my experience. Got this for an Ultralight Camping trip and then kept carrying it long after.If you don't know if you'd like a "on-brand" Swiss Army or Leatherman style multitool, get one from Coghlans first.

OK, it's not a "real" Swiss Army knife but it costs way less and will perform, very well, all the same functions. What it's got is functionality, what it lacks is elegance and higher class steel. I'll confess my SAKs are all from many years ago (20+) and today's SAK may be of inferior steel (compared to those of 20 years ago), someone else will have to address that point. I have several Coghlan's 5 function Army knives and I am pleased with them. I also have some Coghlan's 11-function and 9507 knives and I prefer the 5-function. IMHO the extra blades are nigh-useless.The 5-function main blade comes decently sharp but quite rough. A bit of work with a steel and a ceramic "crock-stick" will get the blade quite sharp, enough to slice paper (standard sharpness test) and most anything much else within reason. I suppose the blade is 2CR13 or 3CR13 steel, most any sport cutlery is today. It sharpens easy and dulls fairly fast but not discouragingly fast. It does sharpen up well, getting very sharp with minimal effort.The caplifter works adequately, if you will be using it frequently deepen the "hook" with a oval-cross-section needle file so it works first try all the way to the end, otherwise it's adequate for infrequent use. Take a file and sharpen the can opener, it needs it (most mutli-function knives need this sharpened). The phillips screwdriver and corkscrew look ok but I have not tested them.One of my 5-function Coghlan's is my everyday carry knife. I quite like it.UPDATE 2018-09-05 I'm still quite pleased with my "5-function" Coghlan's pseudo SAK. Worth noting that the scales (the red plastic parts) are probably glued in place; I've had no luck removing them. So any fix that would require scale removal is simply not doable.UPDATE 2022-03-20 I'm still pleased

great knife I've had it for a little over a year now not as bulky as a 11 function or 15 function knife I put it in my pocket daily very useful basic functions use the can opener almost every day at work to open canned goods has not rusted knives or tools are not hard to open up the difference between this brand and other more expensive name brands is only price again this is only a 7 function knife and if you're looking for basic tool to have or just a knife for the little extras carry in your pocket with little bulk and this is the knife for you I also have used the corkscrew a few times it works exactly how it should

I've owned this knife for 2 years now and use it all the time. Lost the toothpick. Cathy in customer service helped me get a replacement. I am a very satisfied customer.

A fair copy of a Swiss Army knife, but the manufacturering tolerances on quality appear a little lax. It’s a usable knife, but I don’t feel like it will last a long time, and some of the features (scissors and tweezers) do not work reliably, and some of the tools open with a little difficulty.

This is a beautiful creature that works just as planned. It is hard to get out the blades and utility's so it is only for those with strong fingers. Amazing price amazing product.

I got (1) lime green 7-function to replace my expensive, but lost, Swiss Army 7-function. I was amazed at the quality of this Chinese knife; everything is tight, the toothpick is better than the Swiss models and it and the tweezers are held tight. The scissors on the first one I bought would only cut well using the first 3/8" of the scissors, but it would cut cloth & paper just fine.So I ordered a second knife as a spare. The scissors on the second knife were great and cut with the full length of the tines so I switched it to be my daily knife and the other as a spare.The knife blades of both knives were rather dull, but they sharpened right up with a 3-slot diamond sharpener.Now, will these knives retain an edge or be as tough as the Swiss models? Probably not, but they cost only 23% of what my Swiss models cost. If you lose one, you won't weep!These are fully ok for light-duty usage. I wouldn't use one to gut Musk Oxen above the Arctic circle, but they're plenty good for daily use or light camping.

Great product
