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.

Dynamite in a small package February 8, 2010

The Victorinox Swiss Army Midnite Minichamp Pocket Knife is a great little pocket companion. Excellent quality and a very nice set of useful tools. You'll love it!
The perfect small pocket knife/tool February 3, 2010

It would be difficult to improve on this device. Its small size belies how many really useful implements are packed in. Two knife blades including a concave-curved blade perfect for cutting clippings, scissors, spatula, nail file, flat-head and MAGNETIZED phillips screwdrivers, bottle opener, a short ruler, a ball point pen that writes well and lasts, a lanyard ring and a red LED that illuminates remarkably well, including where one is writing. It does not have the magnificently superfluous toothpick or the tweezers, and I haven't missed them. One caveat: it is so useful and so easy to carry that it quickly becomes a part of you, and you run the risk of forgetting about its blades and having it confiscated at airport security. Outstanding tool!

Having the most important tool when you need it!
This Swiss-made quality pocket knife has in a ~3" long package:
A Small Phillips screwdriver to change the batteries in Jonhny's and Janet's Xmas toys.
A Small Flat screwdriver for much the same reason.
A general purpose knife blade to open all your Amazon packages when they arrive
A separate knife blade to hold in reserve so it isn't dulled by years of opening Amazon packages
A scissors that have oh so many uses, including trimming your nails and cutting out articles from magazines in waiting rooms.
A cuticle spoon to tidy up your cuticles
A really good nail file to finish the job
A small ruler to see just how long that screw is that you need to buy at the hardware store, or to see how big a set-back that new window shade will need.
An LED flashlight to find that elusive keyhole in the dark, or the quarter you dropped in the blackness of the cinema
A ball point pen to write that critical note at the most unexpected time.
A ring to fasten a fob or spare key so everything is neat and tidy.
AND, a bazaar little tool for peeling oranges. Apparently the Swiss think you need a separate Orange Peeling Tool. Personally I use this tool for cutting string, ribbon, etc.. Like all the cutting blades, it's RAZOR sharp.
Lastly THE MOST important reason to buy this knife as a gift, is SO YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER, and SONS-in-Law WILL STOP BORROWING YOURS!
I bought on Victorinox Midnight Minichamp pocket knife for all three of my daughters, their husbands, and my wife, this past Christmas. Christmas is only 2 weeks past and each and every one of them has told me they've used their new Victorinox Minichamp knife MULTIPLE times, AND no one has asked to borrow mine.
Two daughters and two sons-in-law have told me The MiniChamp is THE favorite Christmas gift they got this year, period! Very satisfying since one of those daughters got a 42" LCD Flat-screen TV and all the daughters got modest jewelry from me. SWEET! Hardware rules!
These knives are great products in our high-tech world! I've carried this model or a similar one for nearly 40 years.
Only bad point. I now have to check it in my luggage when I travel. BUMMER!
Love it, wish I didn't keep giving them to the TSA December 1, 2009

I have had one of these on my key chain for as long as I can remember. It is amazingly useful, with all the right tools (especially the pen, which will surprise you how often it comes in really handy).
I hate bulky items on my keychain, as they usually live in my front pocket. I find this knife isn't too big, and its usefulness outweighs its size.
Unfortunately, I am back at Amazon, to buy yet another one, as I sometimes forget to remove it before I get on an airplane, and the stupid TSA always takes it from me. If the TSA thinks I can do any sort of effective terrorism with a 2 inch blade, a nail file, and a bottle opener, they have more problems than even a useful tool like this would help them with.
Bottom line, this is a great small, incredibly useful pocket tool, that has proven extremely useful to me on many occasions.
