ReviewFrom the famous company that devised the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this classic version of the pocket knife. It holds 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 translucent blue plastic, the Classic pocket knife is a toolbox and manicure kit little sufficient 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

A Trusty Little Pocket Toolbox
By B.P.
This peculiar pocketknife has become one of my personal favorites for galore reasons. For it's little size it might appear to be a sissy, but it will out do any single blade or three-blade pocketknife of comparable dimension with it's extra utilitarian options.

When all tools are folded in, the unit measures in regards to two and a forth inches long or a little more that five and a half centimeters. Weighing just a few grams, it's a pocketknife that is fundamentally so light; you won't even observe you're carrying it. Comes with a single blade which is with regards to one and a half inches long (3.5 cm), a nail file with a regular screwdriver head, toothpick, tweezers, scissors and a tiny key ring for attachment, not to mention the Swiss Army quality.

Often inside or out, I'm doing a great deal of kind of little project that involves typical constructive handy work, and have come to love the tweezers on this contraption. So nice to have that on hand the moment I get a splinter, particularly when dealing with a painfully nasty one from fiberglass. I may just reach into my pocket; use the tweezers to pull out the sliver right on the spot, therefore preventing infection and further aggravation. The least utile tool for me on this pocketknife has been the toothpick, I never seen it as anything grand, but it's there anyway and doesn't take up too much space.

All tools except the toothpick are made of stainless steel, and I was peculiarly impressed with the scissors, made in good quality construction that will enable it to last for a long while. The toothpick on the other hand is made of a plastic, lasting sufficient for it's indicated task. To use them, the toothpick and tweezers slide out of their slots and detach from the finish unit itself. This might manufacture a potential for loss with these pieces, if they're not returned to their lawful slots after use. But the only other draw back that I may see with this pocketknife is the little size might make it hard to operate. If you're not very nimble with your fingers, catching the groves on the tool edges to open them might be a little difficult. But in general speaking, all features are easy to pull open and put into position when desired.

Although it's not incisively intended for heavy-duty work, it's still a fantastic all-purpose tool well adapted for every day encounters, like plainly opening a box or envelope, cutting a string with a tight knot, or whittling a stick for roasting marshmallows. This little gadget provides the tool requisites and will save the day some times over. Plus the littler compact size makes it travel a lot having little impact in the pocket and the transparent blue color makes it stylish and distinguishable from it is Swiss kin. Simply made for resourceful persons with a strong desire for things of ingenuity and practicality.

Terrific Litle Keychain Tool
By K. Varraso
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 vanish forever. Airport security considers these knives to be deadly weapons, even though the only risk would be from a plane crew laughing themselves to death at the sight of a hijacker attempting to win a victory over someone with a two inch long knife. But for trimming an errant nail or cutting an apple into manageable chunks, this is a outstanding little tool.

Utilitarian 'Le Must'
By Terry Sanders
A little Swiss Army knife has been my ceaseless associate for the last 30 years. It's uses are myriad & often. They last like objects made 'like they used to make them'. This one is a lot more beautiful than it's predecessor which, even though still useful, is showing it's 28 year age.
