A couple of knives made by SWIZA have caught my interest......
Would any members recommend the brand?
 
I do know that they are high quality. I don’t own any, but have handled them in my local B&M store. Not sure how much that helps.
 
I've likewise heard good things about them, but have not yet tried them.
 
I have one but I don’t remember the model. It has a unique set of tools that includes a comb which at the time of purchase was useful. Now that I don’t have hair it sits in an edc pouch. It’s similar to my Explorer but w/o the scissors because it has a magnifying glass (designed for tick removal). It has a locking blade and a rubberized grip. Unfortunately the corkscrew doesn’t fit the micro screwdriver from SAK. Quality is good but not better. I prefer my SAK Explorer because it has Philips screwdriver and scissors. I also like MKM if looking for SAK alternatives.

Thread 'Swiza review'

As there was an old swiza thread resurrected. I thought I would share a review for an Aussie forum that I did in December 2019.

Swiza
is a relative new knife making company but an old company., that is now producing their own swiss army style knife. A swiss watch making company that dates to the late 1800's.
As most people are probably aware, Victorinox bought out wenger a few years back, as I read the CEO of Wenger became the CEO of Swiza knife division but I couldn't verify it.
I have the swiza D04, since they first come out.


I have included a pic with my SAK...

I’ve read (google ”swiza long term review”) and seen youtube reviews where people have experienced the rubbery scales peeling off in long run.
 
they are fine. I bought mine when they first came out, and it is still working. the weak part is the button/scale cover material, as mentioned, but if they are not used constantly they will last a decent amount.

As I said above I still have mine, scales are fine.

I own one or two, and have found them to be a great continuance of the Victorinox "a lot of knife for the money", and their knives are a pretty high level of fit and finish. Where it may take some getting used to, is the soft-touch nature of their scales, although the cool thing is that if you get one of the models with a locking main blade, the "button" to unlock the knife for closure is the shield! I can recommend them, and hey, worst case, you now have another knife that you can throw in a pocket or in the center console of your vehicle, etc. I like them, and would own more, but I'm just a Victorinox guy at heart.

TLDR; I like Swiza knives, and think they're worth a purchase to check out.
