Editorial Review:
From the renowned Victorinox that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this Classic SD Knife. It contains 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 red plastic, the Classic pocket knife is a toolbox and manicure kit small enough 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.
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife a century ago comes the Swiss Army Classic pocketknife, a compact set of tools for campers, hikers, and boy scouts. Measuring 2-1/4 inches long, the Classic is stylishly cased in a timeless solid-colored housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. More importantly, the unit contains all the classic Swiss Army tools, including a small blade for cutting, a pair of mini scissors, a nail file with a screwdriver tip, a toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. As with all Victorinox items, the Classic is made to exacting standards, with dozens of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. As with all Victorinox multi-tools, the Classic carries a lifetime warranty.
About Swiss Army Knives In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The original product dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor for versatility.

Great little gadget well worth the price.:
I got this knife for $9. It has a nail file, small knife, scissors, toothpick and a tweezers. I attach it with my key ring and carry it with me in my pocket all the time. It does come in handy occasionally. I rarely use the tweezers since it is pretty small and I don't find it as handy. However, all the other ones are decent, especially the knife. The blade is unexpectedly sharp. The built quality is great. This is a great gadget and I high recommend it.
classic swiss knife:
This is my 3rd baby Swiss knife. The 2 previous ones were lost. This is a real classic and I always carry one in my pocket wrapped up with a handkerchief. While the steel in the blade isn't capable of serious carving, the extras -- scissors, file/screw driver -- and the tweezers are worth their weight in gold sometimes. I wouldn't be without my baby Swiss knife and I wish the &%@%@@ Airlines would let you keep it with you when your travel.
Pink Swiss Army Knife:
The case was torn when I received it, but the quality of the knife was in good condition. Everything functions and well.
I WISH FOR !!!!!!!:
I really wish SWISS ARMY would make an "ALL POCKET SCREWDRIVER". This would be mans best friend.....REALLY. Ten times more useful than the pocket knife. All you have to do is make 2 sizes of FLAT HEAD on one side of the knife and a MED. SIZE PHILLIPS , on the other. ANOTHER VERSION would be a FLAT HEAD ( med. size ) on one side and a MED. PHILLIPS on the other.......BUT IN THIS CASE...." Both Shafts are round ( Like real normal screwdrivers ). This would be for power, using it. MAKE A SMALL POCKET... more info
