This thing is Sexy [Posted on 2006-10-25]
Great Swiss Knife with useful tools on it. I am a part time EMT and the seat belt cutter justifies me carrying this beautiful black swiss around. Though it is a little big to carry on a keychain.

great knife, but beware [Posted on 2007-01-09]
I researched long and hard for a knife that would suit my needs. In other words, I wanted it to have everything I needed, and nothing I didn't. Being as I work in construction, I knew I wanted a locking blade, as well as the woodcutter. I also knew I wanted the bottle opener and corkscrew on hand for after work. :) The Fireman Lockblade seemed the best fit-- and it is. I'm very happy with the quality and features, and use it every day. The only thing to know is that it's quite big-- much larger than other pocket knives. This means it takes up a bit more room in your pocket. Some may find that obtrusive. On the same token, it's much harder to lose or misplace. If you want a knife that won't let you down, but don't mind it weighing you down, this is the knife for you. Victorinox quality at a great price. Highly recommended.

Great simple knife [Posted on 2007-07-06]
Great knife with everything you need and nothing you don't. As other reviewers said, it is on the heavy side, but is well balanced, and fits my hand well.

Amazon's description seems to lack a list of all the implements, so here they are:
- One handed locking serrated blade.
- Can opener + small screwdriver that can also be used for Phillips screw heads
- Bottle opener + larger flathead screwdriver + wire stripper
- Belt cutter (a serrated blade with a rounded tip)
- Wood saw
- Reamer
- Corkscrew
- Toothpick and tweezers on alternate sides of the handle
- Keyring

The reamer, the only implement on the back of the knife besides the corkscrew, is pretty hard to get open without breaking your fingernails. All other implements open relatively easily.

Top end knife from a Top End Company [Posted on 2007-10-24]
The only "bad" news is that I likely wouldn't call this a true "One Hand Opener" and that's rather a disappointment for to me. So far, I haven't made any effort to loosen the setup so that it will work properly in that role.

As with all Victorinox equipment, everything is tight and fits perfectly. I have this basic unit (the "Fireman" and the "Rescue") in two configurations. One I'm not able to "One Hand" at all. The second (fireman) I can "thumb hole" the blade out to just sort of 90 degrees. Both of these will be "worked in" till they're true "One Handers", so the star value selection isn't dimished to me. Secondarily the main blade has a cut style I've not encountered before. Short, narrow serrations from the tip 2/3 the blade, then straight blade. The cut of the blade is from one side only (no angle on the "back" side) and is one of the sharpest, best cutting blades, "Out of the Box" I've ever used.

Given the experience and use of this one so far, I'm very impressed. Eventually I'll get the blade as I want it, but that's always part of the process.

An excellent unit at a very good price.

Fantastic Multitool [Posted on 2007-12-12]
The One-Hand Firemen Lockblade is a great multi-tool for daily use. It's a bit large, but as long as you aren't looking for a tool to keep in your pocket at all times I think you will enjoy. Anyone familiar with Victorinox/Swiss Army knows the kind of quality your getting, this is certainly in line with those expectations.
