Victorinox Huntsman Swiss Army Knife – Red 1.3713

Description

A pocket tool for small field-kit jobs

The red Victorinox Huntsman 1.3713 helps with ordinary setup tasks: trimming a label, cutting cord or adjusting a suitable slotted fastener. Keep it with your packing supplies so you do not have to search through camera bags for scissors. It is a utility tool, not an investigation sensor.

What the Huntsman includes

Victorinox specifies 15 functions, including large and small blades, scissors, a wood saw, tweezers, and 3 mm and 6 mm screwdrivers. Its red ABS/Cellidor scales enclose a tool measuring 3.6 inches long when folded and weighing 3.4 ounces. The linked Amazon listing is the red Huntsman; a separate chain, belt clip or pouch is not promised with this listing.

Use it for the right tasks

Set the item you are cutting on a stable surface. Open only the tool needed for the job and keep other tools folded away. Check that the screwdriver fits the fastener before turning it; small camera screws may require a dedicated precision driver. Clean and dry the tool before returning it to your equipment bag.

One important limitation

The blade does not lock. Avoid twisting or prying with it, and keep fingers clear when closing the folding tools. This pocket tool is not a substitute for insulated electrical tools or equipment-specific repair tools.
