• Compact Swiss Army pocketknife for campers, hikers, and all-around users

• Includes small blade for cutting, pair of mini scissors, and plastic toothpick

From city slickers to masters of the agrarian sciences, everyone who carries the celebrated VICTORINOX Swiss Army Knife finds a multitude of uses for it! The Classic is the perfect pocket-size model, with seven functions, including tweezers and toothpick. 2-1/4 Inches in Length Built to last. Don't leave home without yours!

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.

The classic still a sentimental and useful favorite  Jul 26, 2002 By Joanna Daneman
I have been a collector of pocket knives since I was a kid and I'm always doing something around the house, needing to file a nail, tweeze a splinter, cut off some twine or open a letter. I bought one of these years and years ago in the train station at Zurich with my leftover change and I have it to this day...

The knife takes a bit of sharpening--the type of steel used is resistant to rust and holds its shine, but it also makes it a bit more difficult to hold an edge. Nonetheless, with a good sharpening stone and some care, you can make a fine edge useful for opening letters, cutting twine or cutting open a box.

This version contains six tools, including the knife blade, scissors, nail file with screwdriver on the end, plastic toothpick, tweezers and lanyard/key ring attachment. If you attach a string to the ring, you can use the pocketknife as a makeshift plumb bob.

This is a small knife, just 2-1/4 inches long, so it fits flat in a pocket or purse. I personally like to have a corkscrew and Philips screwdriver as well, but that is on a larger model that doesn't fit so well in the back pocket of your trousers. Since this is so small, don't forget to remove it from your pants pocket before you head to the airport, as passengers are no longer permitted to board with such items.

Like it, but it has an annoying design flaw  Nov 02, 2010 By kudzu9
I've been carrying one on my key ring for years. Unfortunately, this handy little knife has an inexplicable design error: the attachment ring is at the "wrong" end. When the blade is open, my key ring attachment is in the middle of the opened knife, rather than at the end. This is not a problem with the scissors because they open out from the other end. However, since I use the blade about 99% of the time and the scissors about 1% of the time, the awkward placement of the ring is annoying in normal use. The other problem with this placement of the attachment ring is that the toothpick and the tweezers are more likely to slip out and get lost because they are hanging on the "down" side (mine disappeared long ago). If you look at many of the other Swiss Army brand knives that have an attachment ring, the connection point is in the "correct" place for easy use of the main blade. I still wouldn't part with mine, but I'm not happy that the design fights with the use of the tool.

One of the best X-mas gifts I ever got  Sep 04, 2006 By Cindy L. Gordon "peechies"
I got this little pink gem as a X-mas gift about 10 years ago (give or take a few years) from my sis-in-law. I have used it more than I ever thought that I would. Plus my son uses it. My friends all know that I have it wirh me & they've used it too. While the scissors are tiny, they are sharp enough & great to have on hand for cutting out coupons while standing in line at the grocery store. It's also nice to have a little nail file for when your nail chips or breaks. That way you can smooth it down before it gets snagged. This stays on my keychain at all times (unless someone is borrowing it). one side of the outside has finally came off. I think because it got cracked a little from me dropping my keys so much. Other than that, it's still in great shape.
