I got this to gift my husband's friend. It's a useful tool and great quality.

This is still one of the most best "multitools" out there. It has a great set of tools in a package that isn't too small, isn't too large. I have a number of "pliers-style" multitools, but they generally stay in my 72-hour bag because I find them bulky and heavy for everyday carry in a pocket, and they are awkward to use as a knife because of the bulk of the frame. This SAK suffers from none of those problems, and yes you sacrifice pliers, but you get everything else you might need if a package that fits perfectly in the hand and in the pocket. I'm never that far from a set of a pliers anyway unless I'm deep in the woods... and the last time I needed pliers deep in the woods, the hook on this baby would have done what I needed (pull a mess kit pot out of a campfire).

I don't use the pouch, but the knife does fit perfectly in it. Nice and snug fit with a solid, tight snap - just the kind of nice fit you expect from Victorinox.

I got this on a Cyber Monday deal to replace my 30-year old SAK... which had nothing wrong with it apart from the fact it lacked the saw and hook of this model. I don't leave home without it.

This Victorinox multi-tool is just that. A versatile multi tool. I purchased it specifically for its multi-tool functions, and the tools I have utilized have not disappointed. I was quite impressed with the wood saw, and the scissors are quite useful. The knife blades are very sharp. The can and bottle openers function well. Due to the smallish size of the tool's handler. the screwdrivers lack the mechanical advantage to be really effective. But, for smaller lighter tasks seem adequate.

The only real complaint, and it's really more of a personal preference, is that it is a bit too heavy to comfortably carry in a pants pocket. Guess that's why the leather pouch to attach to your belt is included.

This really deserves the FIVE STARS I gave it.

Came right on time just as advertised. I was a little nervous because of aggravation with a previous seller but it came through. The pouch is much like one for a cell phone and the loop doesn't button but does get closed tight by pressure. Some of the blades are hard to see and need a little searching as they easily mistaken for bulwarks in the handle. It can also be a bit tough to open.This comes easier when one remembers that some functions are meant to be opened from grips closer to the ends like the hook and the saw while the scissors(which with the main blade are the tools most likely to be used for urban chores like package opening) is best got at simply by opening the saw first. Another thing to remember is that the white and grey marks on the end opposite the Swiss flag Victorinix logo are not just decoration but a detachable toothpick and tweezers. On the whole I am pleased.
This is the best line of knife I have. The large blade and the scissors are my favorite as they can do any normal task(to get proper use out of it you have to carry it about wherever you go otherwise when you want it it will not be there). The saw I mainly use on cardboard; sometimes it is needed when cutting up boxes for recycle. The awl interestingly enough I found a few uses for. I could add loops to my belt. I also put holes in the envelope of tool cards so they can be stored together by running a wire ring through them. And so on. You can find plenty of tasks you like for it.

This is a must-have tool in my book. Bought this one to replace an older, almost identical Swiss Army knife I lost. That one lasted forever, so I expect this one will too.

Pros:
* Extremely sharp blades
* Well-oiled hinges; easy to open and close
* Good mix of tools in a compact form factor
* Tweezers! (worth the price of admission all on their own)

Cons:
* No file. Really hard to find in knives this size.
* The included pouch is disappointing. It looks and feels cheap, and it is WAY too large. Might be useful for putting the knife on a belt, but this is a pocket knife. The knife on its own is nice and small, but the pouch makes it big and clunky. I put the pouch away in a drawer and don't expect to get any use out of it. Would have bought the knife on its own and saved some money if I had known what the pouch was like.
