What this solves
Victorinox makes 100+ models. The famous Classic SD is fine for cheese at the picnic — but useless for the cabriole of screws on a hut. Most "best Swiss Army Knife" lists default to the Climber (good all-rounder) without asking what you actually use it for. This tool gives a precise model recommendation.
How to read the results
- Model = the specific Victorinox product name.
- Tools = the count of features.

- Why = a one-line case for the choice.
What this tool ignores
- Wenger (now merged with Victorinox) and other Swiss knife brands.
- Custom engravings — available at any Victorinox shop (CHF 8).
