Great for anyone

I am a 20 yr old female college student and this pocket knife is the only one i would ever want. Even though it has a lot of tools and i personally might not use all of them, it's great to know that i have them just in case, and a peace of mind is priceless. I don't mind the size at all because it'll fit into any of my bags, and i usually carry around a messenger bag or my backpack. The pen is awesome, but i'd just like to know if they sell refills!

Often useful. Always reliable.

All the tools are extremely reliable. I have cut wood with the wood saw and metal with the metal saw. The various screwdrivers have served me well without shearing. The scissors are just excellent. The tools are diverse enough that this knife often comes in handy.^M

This is my third champion now (1 loss/theft, 1 surrendered at Bangkok airport because I was so sick I forgot to put it in my checked luggage), and this latest model seems to have noteworthy improvements over its predecessors. There are useful and effective pliers, and the tiny screwdriver in the corkscrew that used to be available seperately now comes with the knife. Also, some bright spark has included a pen and a pin; genius. Another addition is a tent peg puller and a few refinements to the other tools.^M

The overall feel of the tool is outstanding quality, and you can see why Victorinox have been leading the pack in this field for such a long time. I could not give anything less than five stars.

5 stars from a GIRL!

Ok, I know what you're thinking. I'm a girl with a large pocketknife...hmmm. But honestly, I love this thing. Now, I don't use it to saw wood or cut wire fences, but this is very useful for me to have. I don't use this as a "pocket" knife....more or less, it's a "purse" knife. It has gotten me out of quite a few jams in the year that I've owned it. It is always with me, and I'm thinking about buying another one to keep in my car for when I forget it. You never know when you may need this handy tool. It has everything you could possibly need, maybe a little more than I would need, but still, I love it. I also don't have many tools in my home, so when there's a small need for a screwdriver or a small pair of pliers, I just go to my swiss army knife, and it does the job.^M

Guys, get your girls one - to keep in their cars. They may laugh and think you're crazy for buying them a pocketknife, but what are they going to do if they are in a bind and you're not around with your knife?
