The Victorinox Fieldmaster art. n.1.4713 is a standard 91mm 4 layer SAK from Victorinox, of course made in Switzerland like all Victorinox models.
It is the more complete camping-version of the Spartan, it is similar to the Tinker Deluxe, the difference is it has no pliers but a woodsaw and a Phillips Screwdriver.

Large Blade
Small Blade
Can Opener
3mm small screwdriver (flat)

Wire stripper
Awl / Reamer / Punch / thread hole multitool
Phillips 1-2 Screwdriver
Scissors
Woodsaw
Multi Hook (great for shopping bags)
Toothpick
Tweeers (some of the best out there, I keep a spare one in the wallet)

Here is the stock photo with all the tools available for the Fieldmaster I don’t like to stress the springs opening all tools at once
Check Amazon Warehouse Deals, I got it for only 18€
it’s brand new without box, comes in a bubble wrap with barcode and amazon WHD Sticker
The FieldMaster sports the classic “Swiss Army Knife” design and classy look! the main difference is that it’s a 4 layer model.
The blade is the standard lenght with standard thickness for Cellidor handled ones
Proudly made in Switzerland out of Stainless Steel
Standard Non Locking blade, drop point with shiny stonewashed finish, fullflat
comes pointy and well sharpened
Bottle opener – flat screwdriver – wire stripper
standard non locking size
Can Opener – small flathead screwdriver
standard non locking size
The BEST Scissors on the market! Period.
the position enables a good grip and gives out good control and torque.
Woodsaw! insane cutting ability and long lasting sharpness, it cuts in both ways too
standard 91mm non locking size
small blade, for finer or cleaner tasks
the multi-hook is the strangest tool Victorinox offers, they call it the “multihook”, i’ve only used it to tie strings and to carry plastic bags, without cutting your fingers.
The punch/awl is a multitool that can be used to punch holes in leather, wood, plastic, cardboard, belts and to sew through them easily.
Phillips “1-2” cross head screwdriver, fits almost all sizes, the BEST you can find, the position makes it hand out a lot of torque.
tick and tweezers (best ever)
the tick is good for, well, many things
the tweezers are mostly used for splinters
the lanyard/split-ring is the most fun tool offered, as it doubles as an embellishment option as a safety not to loose the knife, lanyards can be fun but are also useful not to loose your precious companion.

Last Words and Conclusions:
Price: I paid 18€ on amazon for this sample, it was a WarehouseDeals awesome deal, it’s currently in my EDC Rotation
What I like:
- GREAT Price and quality
- Swiss Made…since the beginning
- Good Steel, stupid easy to sharpen and good enough for most people
- arrives sharp and well sharpened
What I DON’T like:
- nothing else in particular
- lacks the small pin
Other considerations:
- given the outdoor backing idea a sheath would be a nice option to have
Notes:
the knife was bought with my own money, i was not paid for the review
