Sports reviews of Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Pal Pocket Knife

Customer Review: A perfectly adequate little knife
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I have a large collection of more expensive knives, but I also sometimes appreciate cheap knives which deliver quality beyond what you might expect for the price. This Pocket Pal is one of those.

If you just want a basic little pocket knife, not a large fancy modern thing, this is a perfectly useful knife for a good price. It looks slick and is just the right size to travel in a pocket without overcrowding your other gear.

It has the standard Swiss Army construction and quality. Precisely-shaped blades, aluminum liners under the plastic handle, and the blades/spring are both polished. The result is a strong snap open/closed, but still a smooth feel.

The standard red plastic handle isn't as fancy as a W.R. Case with metal bolsters and bone handle slabs, but all of the important parts on a Victorinox are actually made better and fit together more consistently. The plastic and aluminum handle also makes this little Victorinox a conveniently low weight if you don't want a heavy knife bouncing around in your pocket.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few Victorinox models with the logo printed on the handle, not a nice shiny metal insert like the standard models.

Description of Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Pal Pocket Knife

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener started his cutlery factory in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. In 1897, he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time, the Elsener family has continued to craft tools in the Victorinox tradition of in genius design, durability, and quality. This is why all Victorinox multi-tools, made of first class stainless steel, have a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship. If it doesn't say Victorinox, it's not the Original Swiss Army Knife.
