Customer Review: Best Pocket Knife Ever
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have been using these little wonders since the early 80's. I have had all types of knives over the years big to small and this is easily the best of the lot for daily use, especially if you are a city dweller. First it easily has the sharpest little pair of scissors that come in handy for cutting loose threads to trimming paper and they don't dull easily. Secondly the blade is very sharp and very easy to sharpen when it does get dull ( a little ceramic sharpener for 3.99 will keep it tip top). Thirdly the screwdriver/nail file comes in handy for those little emergencies. And then to top it off it has little tweezers that actually work and a toothpick when you get caught and need to get that little piece of food out for a meeting or a lunch date. I do a lot of shipping and receiving in my job and it cuts boxes better than most box cutters and slices through tape with no problem. I don't think I have ever lost one...although it is easy to fall out if you lean back far. It has become second nature to me and I know if it is not there. One reviewer stated he liked his Leatherman Micra better. I have one of those also, I use it for camping, hiking. The leatherman is much heavier with more tools. The Victorinox very light, non-cumbersome and like i have said perfect for everyday needs. Highly recommended and for the price unbeatable. Do no accept imitations...This model is the real deal and IS a Swiss Army Knife. Quality is excellent!Customer Review: Great Gift & Every Day Tool for Yourself

I have had one of these on my key chain for over 15 years now; it's only been replaced 3 times and I use it almost daily. It comes with a removable plastic toothpick and tweezers. I love having a toothpick handy after eating out somewhere and the tweezers work very well. The tweezers do not have the strongest grip because they are very thin and therefore a bit flexible, but I have never had them fail to work and they have very sharp edges for getting out the finest hair and/or splinter.
The knife and fingernail file/screwdriver are obviously useful in many instances; the only problem I've ever had is that if you are trying to remove/loosen a very tight screw it might close on you if you press too hard. The implements do not 'lock' into place, so you have to use some caution.
The scissors were originally my primary reason for purchasing these and are fine enough to help trim your cuticles and strong enough for smaller cuts. They are definitely not super strong but definitely cut paper and thin plastic easily.
Overall, these are a terrific gift for just about anyone and a great purchase for yourself. I've seen them in the store for upwards of $14 but you can get these for less frequently on sale at Amazon.
Customer Review: Bought a red and blue one together -- this is the same review I wrote for the red one

We collected a bunch of these over my husband's employment -- his company used to hand them out for various rewards. My husband loves them -- always finds the scissors, little screwdriver, and tweezors handy -- and keeps one attached to his keys. When airport security began prohibiting any kind of sharp object from passing through security, and my husband had his first business trip after that ruling, he forgot that his little Swiss Army knife was on his keychain, and it got confiscated by security. Not to worry -- we had several more at home. Well, one by one over the past few years, he managed to have them all confiscated. Now we have to buy them, so I bought two for him this time -- a red one and a blue one -- and I hope they make it through the year. The only tool on this knife that he never uses is the toothpick -- I notice that a similar S.A. model has a little ballpoint pen instead of a toothpick, and I think we will try that version the next time. Great little tool.Customer Review: Perfect

This knife is the same as many others of class, only it looks more cool. I like both the color and the fact that it somewhat transparent. The scissors really work well enough to be useful - I use them for cutting paper and for when I break a finger or toe nail. The toothpick is OK, the knife and tweezers are great. The knife is not a weapon (a pencil is a better weapon) though it satisfies the "concept" of a weapon well enough to have it confiscated boarding a plane (I have lost more than one this way). The knife is not big enough to slice a grapefruit in half (the blade is too short), but what do you want for a knife that is perfect for your keychain? I have found the knife very valuable for many things and is worthy of its Victorinox breed. This knife is perfect for your keychain (did I mention it includes a screwdriver too?). It is just the perfect size. The nail file might be nice for women - I don't know, but it does not not detract from anything.Customer Review: Terrific Litle Keychain Tool
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've been carrying these little knives on my keychain for over twenty years. These pocket knives have done terrific service all this time, opening packages, cutting up fruit, removing splinters and all of the light-duty chores that this minature knife was designed to to. My only complaints are not the knife's fault: (1) when I remove the knife from my keychain, it's doomed. I'll lose it before it ever gets the chance to return to my purse, and (2) cow orkers and the like "accidentally" pick them up, and they disappear forever. Airport security considers these knives to be deadly weapons, although the only danger would be from a plane crew laughing themselves to death at the sight of a hijacker trying to overcome someone with a two inch long knife. But for trimming an errant nail or cutting an apple into manageable chunks, this is a great little tool.
