How long does this knife last.

I don't know exactly, but I have one for more ten year and still very good.

I've been using another one more than 7 years. I didn't use this everyday, but it's still as good as it should be. I think this will be the same, if they didn't change much for 7 years.

The life of any knife depends upon how much it is used and how well it is treated. Most knives wear out from repeated sharpening wearing away the metal rather than from general use. If abused, the this tool like any can be broken. This tool will last most people a lifetime. I have a friend who carried his in his pocket for 20 years and the red scales finally fell off, but the tool was still perfectly functional. Mine is several years old and is still like new.

I bought my VicSAK SwissChamp in 1993. It has been on my person constantly except when I sleep or shower. It has seen rough use. There are some chips taken out of the red side scales,and the files are semi worn, mainly for using them against metal objects,and the main knife blade is worn from repeated sharpening. I paid around $50.00USD for mine back then. I have used this knife at least once every day, sometimes more than once. I have never had a product this well built or one last so long. I can not recommend them more highly.

I bought it for my son in June, so I cannot really say. I did get a simpler version when I was a child and it has lasted till today (40+ years).

In my experience, Victorinox knives can last years of regular use, even decades, as long as you use them in a sensible way and keep them clean.

Hello,We purchased this item about 4 months ago, Just used it three time and love it.Just make sure you wash the salt water off and dry the blade before storage it will last for a long time.

For the price this is a great knife. Long lasting??? not sure yet. Some reviewers claim they've had screws come loose and have had to use lock-tite to resolve the issue. I haven't had any problems with screws and after I sharpened it once, I haven't had to touch the blade since. Makes a great hiking/backpacking knife.

Got it about 3 years ago as a gift for my husband. He considers it a dress knife and does not carry it every day but does carry it frequently. Still looks like new condition. Also, had it engraved and that looks new too. Hope that helps. A-

I haven't had to replace the blade yet.This is my second one as I gave my first to my son since he kept borrowing it.

I can't say how long the blade lasts for sure but it does have a 10 year warranty so if it breaks before 10 years, just call the company. My sharpener lasted a little over 3 years in an elementary classroom that sharpened more than 20 pencils a day. (I do not allow the children to use the sharpener and do not sharpen colored pencils with this sharpener.) When the sharpener quit, I called the company and had a new sharpener in a week. Highly recommend this sharpener and company!

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

There is a lifetime warranty. This is a top quality knife/tool that has served me well.

I carry mine every day, but probably only use it a few times a week. Under those conditions, I'd say it holds its edge extremely well. I've sharpened mine 3 times in 2 years. The first 2 times with an inexpensive pocket sharpener that worked surprisingly well. The 3rd and last time I sharpened it with an oilstone that gave it a razor sharp edge. I *love* this knife.

Ours has seen heavy usage for over two years, and I still don't think it needs sharpening. It still slices easily.

If youre only grooming one dog or your own dog it will last a forever, oil the blade and take it to get sharpened when It gets dull cost like 5$. But if ur a groomer doing mass amounts of dogs it can last maybe 1 or 2 years. This is if ur purchasing a good quality blade as well

Mine is 5 years old, and I bought 2 for Christmas gifts for my girls. It works as good as it did when it was new, and does a wonderful job of cutting potatoes, onions, and anything else that I need to chop up or dice. I use it often!

I don't need to use it daily because after you use it the first time (edge of blade upward 12 o'clock position swiped around 4 times) your knife should hold it's sharp edge for many uses. I hope this helps.

I have had it now for about a year (can't remember exactly when I bought it) and it is holding up great. I have sharpened the blade a few times and tightened the pocket clip bolts but other than that I haven't had any issues. It has been a really good knife.

I had nice knife for 2 years and it NEVER rusted. I always took care of it and drying it. GREAT knife. Only thing that I had to do is to sharpen it.
