Description of Victorinox Swiss Army Classic SD Pocket Knife, Red
Classic / Red Swiss Army knifeFrom the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this classic version of the pocket knife. It contains six tools that put life in order again when they're needed. Measuring just 2-1/4 inches long--less than a pack of gum--and sheathed in red plastic, the Classic pocket knife is a toolbox and manicure kit small enough to fit into a pocket. (It also comes with a key ring.) Stainless-steel tools contained inside are a knife blade, scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a removable plastic toothpick, and removable tweezers. --Fred Brack

Customer Review: Indispensable, don't leave home without it
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was on a tour bus in Bavaria with 40 of my closest friends when a woman said, "Ouch, I broke a nail!" I grabbed my Swiss Army Classic, flipped open the nail file and offered it to her saying, "This should help." And it did - she was happy but it took about 30 minutes to get it back. That's because someone else used the screw driver to fix his glasses. Another person used the tweezer to pick at a splinter. A fourth person used the scissors to cut some threads and so on throughout the bus. Over the rest of the week, I must have loaned my classic to nearly everyone on the tour.
I used to be able to bring it along when I flew, but those days are gone. Now, when I check luggage, I pack it with my toiletries - otherwise, it's always with me. I must use mine every day for something or other. I especially love the scissors. They are sharp and work great at opening CDs, cutting articles out of the paper and snipping loose threads. What else in the world is so good and so inexpensive? Note, I didn't say cheap - because this knife is definitely not cheap.

After 14 years of service my Victorinox mini-Swiss Army Knife (SAK) has finally begun to show its age: the toothpick went missing, the enamel casing cracked, the insignia fell off. So I've bought another (the original sits in a drawer, its knife blade as sharp as ever, the screwdriver still perfectly utile, the scissors are gummed up but could probably be cleaned out with some rubbing alcohol).For versatility and simplicity it's hard to beat this item. Sure there are SAKs with more blades and tools, but the simple knife/screwdriver/scissors combination is going to meet the vast majority of your needs (ok, it doesn't have a bottle opener: use a door strike plate, MacGyver). The toothpick is so-so, but I can't count the number of times I've needed to tweeze something and used the SAK tweezers when I couldn't find the bathroom set. The key fob, while not the most exciting of features, does provide a convenient way to carry the SAK around with you.
This item is sure to please. I love mine. You'll love yours. Buy one for someone else - they'll love theirs.
Customer Review: Great little everyday knife
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I received two of these knives as promotional items from a software company. I put one in my pocket every single day and it gets used about every single day. People need to consider that it is what it is. No, it's not big and you can't use it for every job. If you have specific needs or want something bigger, then carry something different (I also carry a Leatherman multitool around the property). The knife is perfect for opening envelopes, boxes, those annoying plastic packaging containers, etc. My wife is always asking me if I have my scissors on me so she can cut tags off clothes. I've used the scissors on numerous occasions cutting out a coupon while on the go. The tweezers are especially good for really tiny splinters. I've also used the toothpick and screwdriver on many occasions. The file is the least used part of the knife for me. This is a great little knife for my everyday uses. I think the spare one will be perfect as my son's first knife when he's old enough.Customer Review: Very Handy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The reviewer who wrote about loaning his pocket knife out to everybody on his tour highlights the strength of this tool - it's just so handy to have around all the time.
The small size allows it to sit on a keychain without weighing it down. The quality is superb. The price is reasonable, especially at Amazon. The uses of this knife, however, are almost limitless - I can't think of a day when I didn't use it for something.
Some examples include: opening boxes, letters, CDs and anything with a wrapper; cutting plastic ties, tape, nails (the finger kind, not the hammer kind :-) paper, cardboard; unscrewing small screws, removing splinters, filing nails (I'll agree it's not as good as a proper nail file, but it works for me) and even the toothpick, while a little flimsy, does the job.
To be sure, there's a better tool for all of those applications. The strength of this tool is that you'll always have it with you. It gets my full 5-stars.
Customer Review: I Wouldn't Be Without It
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This knife is a "must have" item in my pocket ever day. I use mine every day, and I do mean every day. Because of it's size some will think it is a joke, but that is only until they have had one for a while. The knife blade is very sharp out of the box. The toothpick and tweezers are very handy to have, and the screwdriver is beyond handy. Because of the size of the scredriver tip, it can almost always be used in common phillips tip screws as well as standard slot screws. It is true that this knife is way too easy to lose. I have owned probably upwards of 10 of them. I have also given out 10 or more as presents they are always appreciated. Get one, and keep it with you at all times. You will only be dissappointed if you forget to put it in checked luggage when you go to the airport as did I. The Will Rogers World Airport Security lady liked getting the gift. It was that or give it to TSA and I wasn't going to do that. A great product!
