  The right tool set for me May 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Victorinox Climber is a superb tool to carry with you at all times. Scissors, corkscrew, awl, caplifter, and screwdrivers will get used every week, and at least one every day. Small enough to take every place (except the airport), and sturdy enough to rely upon.
Oh yeah, it has a knife blade that will work passably well for a pocketknife's two main functions: food preparation and opening mail (Big blade for making sandwiches, and a small blade so you don't scare the poor little hoplophobes when you open letters).
All this a price that encourages you to use it rather than protect it from use.

For the price, this is a great knife. The blade and tool selection is good. Some may think that the knife is borderline too heavy to carry everyday, but I think it is OK.
The biggest disappointment with this knife for me is that it does not have the finish that I am used to seeing on a Swiss Army knife. Instead of the smooth red plastic with the inlay Swiss Army insignia, this knife's case is a textured red plastic with a stamped insignia. In my opinion, it feels and looks cheaper that what I have come to expect from Victorinox.
Overall, the casing is of little concern to me. What's inside is most important, and this knife offers a lot for the money.

what i need is mostly scissors and a corkscrew,
sometimes - long blade and can opener.
They work perfect.
Nice item to be stolen (which is the truth
for my previous dozen)
A great gift! January 13, 2008
Victorinox makes great swiss knives. My humble opinion is that for a knife to balance functionality and practicality (what's the point of having a knife with 150 different functions- you can't carry it comfortably in your pocket, let alone comfortably grip the thing to actually use it), it must have 1 blade, a can opener, a bottle opener, a corkscrew and scissors. The tweezers are a nice thing to have as well. This "Climber II" fits the bill (with a few extras too), and at $13.99, I bought a bunch of them to have on hand for gifts.
