About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.
Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife
Customer Review: Great knife - useful for so many common tasks
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have owned many different Swiss Army and leatherman knives. In the end, the only things you really end up using are the scissors and the blade. This has both of them - although they are quite small. This is not one of the full size knives. This is more of a "keychain" knife. Although you will need to be careful not to take this to the airport. I keep one of these in my desk drawer at work and another near the front door (for use opening packages.)Customer Review: Great sidekick
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Obviously if you do a lot of cutting or need a companion on the trail, this is not the knive for you.
If you need an easy to carry companion for every day use and something light for the office, this is for you.
I can't tell you how many times I've 'spruced up' before a meeting, needed to put out a splinter, etc. I've had mine for years! It's a great investment.
Customer Review: A Must-have Tool!

I've been carrying one of these for about 20 years now. I wonder how I ever got along without it before! I gave one to my father-in-law, and he just rolled his eyes a bit. Now, he doesn't go anywhere without it. Knife, scissors, screwdriver, tweezers....covers just about every pesky little need that comes up and no other tools are available.Customer Review: Great for Everyday Carry

Just recently bought this victorinox product to replace an older version I had for 5 years. It works the same as the original. It's convenient, doesn't get in the way of everyday tasks. It's great for everyday things.Customer Review: Perfect for Your Key Chain

It's small and light (3/4 oz. -- 2-1/4" long). Put it on your keychain. Except when going through airport security.
All handy, especially the toothpick and knife blade. A great deal for 10 bucks.
