Good knife, but I still like the introductory Climber more
By Carlos Wesley
I like this knife. It's a more lowcost version than the firstborn Swiss Army Climber which is one of my bestloved knives out there.

Just the Basics
By Pyanfar Chanur
I had to order this to replace the identical knife that I have owned for 7 years: airport security had to confiscate and destruct it when I in an unintentional manner left it in my laptop bag.
The Climber II knife is the knife I carry with me each day: even in the office, it always comes in handy. The may opener has a knack for staying sharp, the scissors often trim stray threads, and the long blade is just the thing for peeling a piece of fruit at lunch. I've also employed the leather punch to add holes to my belt (thank you, regular exercise!), the corkscrew without apparent effort opens a wine bottle, and the bottle opener and screwdrivers get regular use. What's impressed me the most is the durability of the Victorinox steel: I've put all sorts of stress and leverage on the constituents and have yet to break one, even prying loose the lid of an old stuck paint can.
Some quick tips for you:
1) Periodically clean out your knife: cautiously open all parts, blow dust out, clean pocket lint, etc. Check the screw keeping the scissors and tighen it.
2) Oil the knife: if it starts to get hard to pull out the parts, a drop of 3-in-1 oil at each end and in the middle (for the leather punch/hook handle) works wonders. Let the oil soak in, wipe up the excess, and don't put it back into your pocket until you've had a chance to work the parts back and forth a few times (to get the oil into the hinges) and then let it sit out on a cloth to pick up leftover leakage.
3) Sharpen with care: you ought to seldom have to sharpen the may opener, but the rest will need periodic sharpening. Think conservatively with regards to which angle you implement the whetstone to the scissors: you don't want to have the scissor blades abraded further detached from each other.
Do these things a couple of times a year and this knife will last you forever.

Beyond the Basics
By W. Gaboda
This version of the fabled Swiss Army knife adds a number of utile tools to the basic portfolio of big blade, may opener, bottle opener and awl. With this significant (yet still pocketable) knife, we now have an further and added little blade (GREAT for opening packages), a little pair of scissors, tiny tweezers, a toothpick (how sanitary!) and a corkscrew (a lifesaver for forgetful picnic-ers). The matte finish red plastic grips offer a secure hold.
While this knife is a bit heavy for each and everyday toting, it's a welcome associate on a hike. Durable and sturdily constructed, I give it a thumbs up.
