Sometimes, life throws us curveballs, and there's something sexy about being able to pull out a multi-tool from your pocket and say "I got this!" When it comes to multi-tools, there's a reason Victorinox's Swiss Army Knives are top of mind. Although they were originally meant for (literal) battle, Swiss Army Knives have slowly started developing options for everyday carrying. Because of this, it's available in several sizes, ranging from pocket-sized to those that are a little heavier.

While Victorinox has been making multi-tools for a long time, they have never really stopped trying to make them better. And while better is a pretty relative term, Victorinox has truly risen to the occasion. In fact, with so many possible uses for the same tool, Victorinox has taken up the challenge in both the number of tools and the variation of functionality, even within the same model category. These days, there are hundreds of Swiss Army Knives in the Victorinox portfolio, so it's no surprise that the Swiss tool manufacturer even makes sets for users with specific needs, whether for their jobs, hobbies, or even caring for animal friends. 

Victorinox dedicates its expertise to everything from office work to outdoor adventures. If you're wondering if there's an option that is perfect for you or someone you love, here are some unique models that might be better suited to your life than the typical Swiss Army knife.

Among the options in this list, the Victorinox Huntsman has some of the most variations in terms of color options. As of writing, there are nine colorways that range from the typical red, black, and white to translucent and camouflage options. With over a dozen capabilities, it can do everything from sawing wood to cutting ropes to opening bottles. 

The Huntsman can be used as a screwdriver or a wire stripper. For more outdoor needs, the Huntsman has two blades (large and small), a corkscrew, a reamer, a key ring, and a hook. Similar to other models, it also has tweezers and a toothpick that you can opt to replace with alternative tools. To help ease your hunger and thirst, there's both a can opener and a bottle opener.

On the Victorinox website, it generated an average of 4.9 stars with a stellar 96% recommendation rate. And its positive reviews seem to be quite consistent, because on Amazon it also boasts 4.8 stars from more than 1,800 people. It's important to note that not all colors are available on this channel. But, if you want something that's a little more elegant, there is a Huntsman Wood option as well. Apart from being slightly cheaper, this variant is similarly reviewed with an average rating of 4.8 stars from more than 1,100+ users on Amazon.

For those who work in the corporate environment, battles have shifted from the fields to the boardroom. Although they're not as violent as before, it's not uncommon to experience a heart-stopping moment during an important presentation in front of thousands of people (or even just your own boss). With this in mind, Victorinox has developed an entire line for the modern office worker, easily identified by the "@Work" brand tag.

Working in the office requires a completely different set of tools from surviving at war. Because of this, Victorinox swaps out the long blades and saws, which may not have been able to make it past your building security. Instead, you can expect things like ballpoint pens, scissors, and even nail files to help you stay well-groomed. The @Work knives include USB drives, among several other Swiss Army Knives which fall under this group as well. 

On the official website, there are several options in the @Work lineup that you can choose from, such as the Victorinox@Work, Midnite Manager@Work, and Jetsetter@Work Alox. In particular, the Jetsetter has even won the 2018 reddot design award. However, there are also older models available online. Just make sure that you take note of some of the added maintenance for SAKs with USBs, which includes making sure they don't get any viruses or corrosion damage.

In every office, it's common for things to break or stop working exactly when you need them to, like in the middle of printing or when you're trying to use a projector. When this happens, there's always one guy that everyone calls who saves the day. With the right Swiss Army Knife, it could be you. In recent years, Victorinox has developed the Cyber Tool series that fits into the pocket of everyone's favorite office hero. Available in two variants (M and L), the Victorinox Cyber Tool series has more than 30 features designed to support technicians in modern times. Available in the classic Victorinox red, it has everything from hex drives, bits, screwdrivers, pliers, and even ballpoint pens. 

On the official Victorinox website, the Cyber Tool L has been rated 4.7 stars and scored a 94% recommendation rate. On the other hand, the Cyber Tool M has a slightly higher rating at 4.9 stars, with all respondents recommending it. On Amazon, the Victorinox Swiss Army Cybertool is priced at $86, and has an average rating of 4.9 stars. Among the positive things that people have said about it include it being the best bit driver they've used on a multitool. That said, some users did mention that even the medium-sized option can be a little too big for everyday use, but that they still think it's worth having on their office desk.

While we already live in a time wherein hydrogen-powered robot horses are a thing, one can't really replace the connection riders have with living, breathing animals. For equestrians, the comfort of their horse companions is well worth any investment. In fact, we've mentioned before how some racing horses even fly on luxury planes, which are modified to give them everything from sawdust to adjustable stall sizes. So, if you or someone else you know takes their horses seriously, the Victorinox Equestrian multi-tool might be a good gift.

The Equestrian is about as heavy as a Hershey's Milk Chocolate XL Candy Bar at 4.5 ounces. It comes packed with a dozen features, including a compact hoof cleaner and wood saw. Apart from this, it has a large blade, screw driver, and reamer, plus typical features like tweezers, toothpick, and a key ring. For long days of riding, it also comes with a corkscrew, bottle opener, and can opener. 

On Amazon, the Victorinox Equestrian SAK sells for $65. So far, it has received an average rating of 4.7 stars from horse lovers. Although it has significantly fewer reviews on the official Victorinox website, it does have a slightly higher rating of 4.8 stars, with not a single review below 4 stars. In fact, one user even mentioned that they've bought this particular knife three times already, with their oldest model lasting about two decades (and still working).

These days, there's no shortage of gadgets that can make you a better golfer and get your handicap down to single digits. For example, there are tools used to help measure performance, like rangefinders, watches, or launch monitors.

However, if you're looking for a pocket-sized tool that can be a great companion for your sunrise tee-offs, the Victorinox Golf Swiss Army Knife might be a fit.

Available in three colors (black, red, and blue), the Victorinox Golf Tool even has a cute little golf ball built into its design.
