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.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Classic knife is a very useful daily utility. It comes with a small knife blade, scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver head, tweezers, and a toothpick. Overall it's a quality knife but people who are buying this because they don't need the additional tools found in the other knives should beware.
When I opened the package for my new Classic Knife, I found that it is incredibly tiny. To put this into perspective, my neighbor has a Swiss Army Champion knife and I was expecting pretty much that minus 90% of the tools. What I got was a knife with a handle and blade so tiny that it can really only be used for smaller household things like opening letters and packages. You can use it for other things but when I attempted the things I originally intended such as cutting some annoying thorns in my backyard, the knife ended up slipping and cutting my fingers. I then borrowed my neighbor's knife and the large blade was able to pull of this task with ease, accompanied by the bigger scissors. So, all in all, if you intend to use the knife blade for cutting things, I'd recommend you buy a different model with a large blade.
The Nail file works just as it should, and the screwdriver head is very useful but, accompanied by the tiny handle, occasionally clumsy. The scissors are incredibly convenient and work very well, although I would definitely consider its larger counterpart more useful at times.
Stored inside the handle are a pair of tweezers and a plastic toothpick. The tweezers work great for splinters (tested, and it works very well) and are very secure in the handle. The toothpick works outstanding and much better than wooden toothpicks that break when I have something incredibly deeply lodged in my teeth. Also secured well in the handle.
Overall this is a good knife for people who use knives for more simple household tasks such as opening packages or letters, but for people oriented toward more outdoor or handyman use, consider a model that includes the large blade.

I really wish SWISS ARMY would make an "ALL POCKET SCREWDRIVER". This would be mans best friend.....REALLY. Ten times more useful than the pocket knife. All you have to do is make 2 sizes of FLAT HEAD on one side of the knife and a MED. SIZE PHILLIPS , on the other. ANOTHER VERSION would be a FLAT HEAD ( med. size ) on one side and a MED. PHILLIPS on the other.......BUT IN THIS CASE...." Both Shafts are round ( Like real normal screwdrivers ). This would be for power, using it. MAKE A SMALL POCKET SCREWDRIVER and a larger 3in. version. But, the important thing is to leave off all the extra, tools. THIS WOULD BE SCREWDRIVER ONLY. I'm writing this hopeing SWISS ARMY company gets this IDEA. I know it will out sell the pocket knifes. REALLY. Men and lady's really need something like this.......BUT AVERTISE IT, so everybody knows it's out there. " I WANT ONE hurry up and make this SWISS ARMY. It will be a BIG HIT.
