Victorinox Swiss Army Fibrox Chef's Knife Black 8 in

The Wave+ uses 420HC stainless steel for all blades and tools — a high-carbon stainless that holds an edge better than standard 420 stainless while resisting corrosion. The needle-nose and regular pliers are wire-cutters with replaceable cutting inserts — when the cutting edges dull (which takes years), you replace the inserts rather than the whole tool. All tools lock open in both directions with a liner lock, preventing accidental closure. Leatherman backs the Wave with a 25-year warranty. Made in Portland, Oregon since 1983. Users on r/BuyItForLife report 15-25 year lifespans on their original Wave models.

The Buck 110 uses 420HC stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC — harder than most stainless knives, soft enough to sharpen on a basic whetstone, and hard enough to hold an edge through a full hunting season. The lock-back mechanism uses a rotating bolt that drops into a notch in the blade tang — one of the strongest locking designs for a folding knife. The nickel silver bolsters and genuine leather handle scales develop character with age. Buck has been making the 110 since 1964 in Post Falls, Idaho, and it's been the best-selling folding hunting knife in America ever since. The Forever Warranty covers workmanship and materials for the life of the knife.

The ProTac body is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum and anodized to military specification (MIL-SPEC A-8625 Type III hard anodize) — this is the same surface treatment used on aerospace components and is far harder than standard anodize. The single Cree LED is a 350-lumen output with a certified 50,000-hour lifespan. IPX7 waterproof rated (submersible to 1 meter). The dual-fuel design accepts either one CR123A lithium primary battery or one AA battery — universal battery compatibility that works anywhere in the world. Streamlight backs all ProTac products with a lifetime warranty.
