I purchased one of these from Redflare a week or so ago. Now that I have had the chance to play with it, here is a review for anyone that is interested.
Rather than give a detail by detail description that won't actually tell you anything, please look at the link above.

Ok, this is what I think of the knife:
1) Build quality - The usual Victorinox high standard. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
2) Shaving sharp out of the box - Good.
3) The blade is about 3" long, with a 2/3 serrated & 1/3 straight edge. Liner lock. One handed ambidextrous opening. The serrations occupy the front 2/3 of the blade, unlike the conventional 1/3 serrated, 2/3 straight. This is a very sensible arrangement that is superior to a conventional lay out. With a normal knife, you have to get most of the blade under the item that you want to saw through. With the Trekker, you don't. The survival and rescue advantages of that are too obvious to need reiterating here.
4) It has a 3" saw. The saw is a draw saw. That is to say that all the cutting is done on the draw stroke. This is a very efficient saw. It is actually better than the one on the Leatherman Wave.
The saw does not lock. I did think that this would make the cutting of reasonable sized branches quite difficult. I expected that the saw would try to fold up when I used it. I was pleasently surprised when it took every thing than I threw at it. The saw is quite thin with a little flex in it. That seems to make it easier to use. I sawed through a 4" thick branch is about a minute. It took two cuts. One from either side. Effort was minimal. I would own one of these just for the saw.

Other impressions:
This knife has a place in any survival kit or E.D.C.. In terms of cost, usability and size it is very reasonably priced, well designed and it's light enough to carry all day.
It does, ofcourse, have the inherent limitations of any folding knife. Respect them and this is a very good little lifesaver.
There is a cautionary tale in the Survival Tales section of the Home Page. Had the poor soul, who died of hypothermia a couple of days after his plane crash, one of these in his pocket, along with a Ritter PSK or even a book of matches he would have lived.

***** Sorry. There seems to be a technical problem with the link Reflare sent me. If you access his site, you will see both models. The review holds good for either of the one hander's****

Hi Leigh!
I looked at the link and the knife shown there seems to have a third blade besides the regular blade and the saw. I did not know that the trekker has that other blade. Or is this a mistake and the knife in the link is not the trekker.
Anyway, thanks for the good review.

The knife pictured in the link is the Vic One-Hand Fireman Lockblade (which should have a thumb hole rather than a fingernail notch as the one pictured).

I'm confused...

So the knife you reviewed is not the Trekker as shown here ?

(no serrated blade)

Leigh is refering to this knife: a One-handed Trekker:

Victorinox- One-hand Trekker 111 mm
* One-handed serrated locking blade
* Bottle opener with large locking screwdriver & wire stripper
* Can opener with small screwdriver
* Phillips screwdriver
* Key ring
* Toothpick
* Tweezers
* Reamer
* Wood saw

Sorry for all the confusion, I gave Leigh the wrong link.

Victorinox One hand Fireman
* One-handed serrated locking blade
* Bottle opener with large locking screwdriver & wire stripper
* Can opener with small screwdriver
* Corkscrew
* Key ring
* Toothpick
* Tweezers
* Reamer
* Wood saw
* Seat belt cutter

Right, thanks... but the blade pictured in the link you provided is not serrated as Leigh described, so I'm still confused... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Oh... I guess what I'm asking is: Did Leigh review the One Hand Fireman or the Trekker? And (as has already been asked) if it was the Fireman, what is the second serrated blade for and why wasn't it mentioned? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not trying to be a pain-in-the-butt, I just thought it would be nice to pin down what we're talking about. Peace. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Leigh reviewed the Trekker.
Originally, instead of giving Leigh the link to the picture of Trekker, I gave him the link to the picture of Fireman. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (tearing my hair out) <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
That "other" blade in one hand Fireman, is Swiss-army's version of seat belt cutter.
You can kind of see it better here:

Thanks, Redflare... But I still have to ask: If Leigh reviewed "the Trekker", why does no one else's idea of what is considered to be the "Trekker" agree with Leigh's version? I'm referring to the image that you provided for the "Trekker" that clearly shows that the main blade is not serrrated as Leigh described. Sorry man, still trying to pin this down. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The main blade is serrated

Victorinox- One-hand Trekker 111 mm
Here is another view:

Meat,

The Trekker is serrated, but Victorinox serrations are very minor. You can make them out in the picture but just barely. The nice thing about them is that if you don't like serrations (like me) you can just sharpen them out into a straight edge.

For the money this knife is tough to beat. The saw is excellent for making figure 4s and deadfalls, and the one-handed opening locking blade is great to have on a swiss army knife. And if you lose it you don't feel quite as bad as if you lost your Sebenza.

The reason we can hardly see the serrations is that they are ground on the other side of the blade, the side facing away from the Victorinox shield on the handle. I haven't been able to find a photo of the knife from the reverse side. BTW, the main knife blade is entirely sharpened from the reverse side, both the serrated and plain edged portions.

I agree, the serrations are very hard to see in a photo -- I think people are thinking major serrations like in a Spyderco, but they are not that pronounced in the Victorinox

Here are the OHT serrations.



Here's the other side. The main blade looks the same as the one on this OHF.



I am partial to a non-serrated edge myself, but this blade design was well thought out and works well. I was thinking of putting a plain edge on mine, but I think I will let time and wear do it for me.

That's the knife I keep in my kit as a backup to my EDC Charge Ti. I filed the serrations off the main blade and added some bright colored reflective tape (since it's black). For the price it's hard to beat.

My perfect version would be a one handed fireman with a file similar to Leathermans (diamond on one side). <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
