Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife (Silver Alox)

I love that this tiny knife has scissors and a file. The alox feels like a quality in a tiny, super lightweight package. The scissors steal the show. They're small but sharp and surprisingly useful. I have zero regrets on this purchase.

This review is for the Alox version (aluminum scales instead of plastic)... This knife is missing the toothpick and tweezers when compared to the regular version with plastic scales. But what you get instead is a knife that is only ONE HALF as thick! 99.9% of the functionality of this knife is in the 3 main tools (rather than the toothpick or tweezers). This thing is so amazingly slender that you can carry it around in your front pocket all day every day and never even feel that it is there. It will not rub in an irritating way like most things carried in pockets. Also, it will not show a lump in your pants. The fine aluminum scales look sleek and elegant and are even suitable for engraving. The scales are well textured without being abrasive and provide a secure, comfortable grip. It is perfect as an executive pocket knife. It is also the perfect pocket companion for people who don't want or like to carry a pocket knife, but still may need to open a package or envelope, trim a loose thread, clean a fingernail or turn a screw once in a while. Let's face it, tool use is what sets us apart from the beasts. Mine has been carried daily for 7 years and still looks perfectly new. I sharpen it when needed and it will shave hair. With this great pocket companion at hand, my life is made a little easier and more pleasant each day. My preference for this version is not a criticism of the standard plastic Classic knife, of which I have several. That is also a great product. I just feel that the Alox version takes a great concept to its ultimate refinement. If they tripled the price, I would still be a fan. [update:] Carried daily now for 13 years and still as happy as ever with this great tool. One of the best purchases of my life. The only time I don't carry it is when I fly in a commercial airliner, where it is not allowed. I missed having it so much that I took another Victorinox Classic and sawed the knife blade off so I could carry that. [July 2016, update 2:] I have carried this particular one now daily for going on 16 years. Counting previous ones owned, I am an owner for 34 years. Still as much of a fan as ever. I have replaced the scissor spring in my current one twice now. Inexpensive and easy. I just sharpened it up again and it works better than new and looks the same also (photo attached). I never stop finding uses for it on an almost daily basis. The scissors comes in handy for cutting packages open, clipping hangnails, grooming hairs, snipping threads, removing hang tags, and along with the file, can repair a broken fingernail. The screwdriver fits slot head and the common #2 Phillips head screws. It is also good for prying and can clean under fingernails. I recommend squaring off the polished tip by touching it to a grinder (or filing it). The knife can cut cord, open boxes or envelopes, etc. I can't really overstate what a nice, useful, easily carried item this is. I have tried several other small multi-tool devices thinking they would be even more useful, but none can match the efficiency of this one.

A high quality, well designed everyday carry tool for any man or woman. Open packages and letters, fix the occasional finger nail issue, and trim those pesky threads on your clothes. Compact and functional.

This is a QUALITY, well made and designed little knife. Although it lacks the tweezers & toothpick of many similar pocket knives it is excellent. ADVANTAGES: * It is only about 1/2 to 2/3rds the weight similar knives. It may feel "cheap" to some because case is made of what seems to be aircraft grade aluminum alloy. This is why it is so light weight and so nice in a pocket! IF you doubt the sturdiness of this unit, open the tools and try to bend the case. It is STRONG. Unless you really apply a GREAT amount of pressure you cannot even slightly distort it. * It is much thinner than similar knives, as it does not have the toothpick & tweezers, nor bulky combo plastic and steel case. * Great styling -- I usually am not impressed by fashion or "styling", but this little gem says "Professional", it is not plastic looking or glitzy neon preppy garbage. * Blades are strong and screwdriver can actually be USED as a screwdriver, nail file works okay, and knife blade is as sharp as it needs to be as it will cut through plastic, nylon or fiber cord easily with minimal fraying, even cuts type III paracord easily. (I did sharpen the knife blade as I like sharper one, but that is personal preference.) It also has a nice point for nail cleaning, although if you sharpen you have to be a bit more careful using it for this function. * The scissors actually work well, both for trimming finger nails and cutting paper. Many similar knives fail at one of these being improperly angled or mis-aligned. * Riveting of the unit is tight and very smooth & professional. DRAWBACK: * This little knife is somewhat expensive, but you get quality, still, I think it is a bit overpriced so downgraded by one star. Other than price -- OUTSTANDING product.

Cieńszy od zwykłego Classica i sprawia wrażenie odporniejszego. Dużo bardziej mi się podoba.

Loads of people seem to like this thing but for me it’s too small and flimsy to use for anything except opening boxes and envelopes. And even then you’d have to be careful because the blade is the size and shape of a toothpick. I sent it back and got a Ruike S11 instead. Two thirds of the price, still keychain size but much beefier, with a blade that is actually big enough to cut an apple or a sandwich.

bıçak hakkında şunu söylemeliyim ki hiç eyvallahı yok mükemmel bir keskinliğe sahip

I love Victorinox products, they are always sharp and long lasting. This is no exception. The sharpness is no joke I have cut straight through things that shouldn't be able to be cut through. It is very practical and every sane person should have one. The scissors are also an appreciated addition. The metal frame is stylish and high quality, I feel like a million bucks carrying this. It's also a perfect gift for the men in your life. (SERIOUSLY BUY ANY MAN THIS AS A GIFT) (they will love you). However keep in mind it doesn't come with tweezers.

Very sturdy, a great size, super useful, very light, easy to use and pretty adaptable in use. They blade and scissors are just right for being useful without being dangerous. This thing looks nice too and has been a surprisingly useful addition to my keyring. It's also been a very popular gift to give
