The One-Handed Wonder – Victorinox’s One-Hand Trekker

Outdoor gear comes in many different types, shapes, and sizes. From small pocket tools to large family camping tents. One of the most commonly used pieces of outdoor gear is the outdoors pocket tool. Many people are familiar with these tools because of the popularity of Swiss Army Knives. Victorinox Swiss Army is perhaps the most well-known and renowned pocket tool manufacturers in the world. Many people who are not into outdoors activities such as hiking or camping carry around these pocket tools because of their functionality and portability. The Victorinox One-Hand Trekker is a simple pocket tool that offers all of the basic tools needed on a common outdoors trip.

Victorinox’s One-Hand Trekker offers 12 different tools made out of stainless-steel. The tool is small and portable, measuring a tad over 11 cm long. This tool features a one-handed serrated locking blade, which is where the tool gets its name from. Canned foods and bottled beverages can be easily opened with the One-Hand Trekker, as it features a can and a bottle opener. The bottle opener has a large locking screwdriver and wire stripper as well, while the can opener has a small screwdriver for other purposes. Victorinox’s product also comes with these other tools: Phillips screwdriver, tweezers, toothpick, reamer, key ring, and wood saw. Basically, these are almost all of the essential tools that are likely to be used on a hiking or camping trip.

The benefit of the Victorinox One-Hand Trekker over other pocket tools is that it has the convenient feature of one-handed opening. Unlike many other pocket tools, which require two hands to open the main cutting tool, this tool allows users full mobility of one hand, while opening and using the knife in the other. Overall, the One-Hand Trekker is simple, effective, and efficient for use on outdoors trips.
