VictorinoxSwiss Army Classic SD Pocket Knife (Black)

This pocket knife is really handy when you least expect it, need a toothpick this has it, need a nail file this has it need to screw in something this has it, need to cut something this has it, tweezer this has it. This doesn't rust if it got wet.CON: it will be taken from you if you try to get on a plane, enter major events like concerts etc.

I collect every color of this knife. I love this little knife, but I don't carry on anymore. Instead, I use this as the around the house knife. I keep them beside my recliner, in the game room, on my nightstand, in the office, in the car, etc. Anywhere I might be and need access to a knife for small tasks. I especially like the blade for opening mail and packages. The tweezers are good for pulling splinters. etc.The black one specifically went into the knife collection. I sue the red ones as the house knives because of higher visibility.

Hard to beat the quality of a Swiss Army knife. This knife is on my keychain and it’s a perfect size as a utility knife without the bulk.

The knife blade itself isn't much, but this model is for fixing your fingernails on the fly, with the added benefits of opening boxes without gunking up your clip-knife, ever-present toothpick, and cutting those stray threads instead of yanking them and compromising the seam.

Th size of this and the tools inside it make this an excellent accessory for your key chain! Especially for women!

Great product and 1 day delivery!!

The other day, I was rushing to the airport to catch a flight and as I exited my car and sprinted towards the airport, I forgot to remove my Swiss Army SD from my keychain. At the TSA checkpoint, the agent made me throw away my trusty Swiss Army SD which I've had for over 10 years. Of course having a .5 inch blade be prohibited seems pretty ridiculous. The toothpick had long fallen out, so I told myself maybe it was for the best. Every other part worked just like the day I bought it! The black shell hardly even looked like it had a scratch despite 10+ years of carrying it everywhere.I remember paying around $30 when I first purchased it, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was ten bucks cheaper now. As I removed the new one, I saw right off the bat that this one came in a small cardboard box. My old one, I remember, was sealed in a plastic card with a small instruction/care book and paper warranty. Okay, so maybe they saved some money on packaging to get the price down.When I removed it from the box, I noticed it was about 25% lighter weight than my other one. The shell's plastic felt a bit more 'hollow' and cheaper. Clearly, my old one was made of a more compact bakelite-type of plastic, whereas this one was not quite the same. I noticed some small lines on the black finish just from the knife moving around during shipping. My other knife looked brand new after 10 years. Oh well ... that's the world we are living in these days. Questionable quality ... tje blade's edge also doesn't seem quite as beveled and sharp as my last one, which I never once sharpened but it remained razor sharp.Beyond that, it is the same size as my old one. Same tools/functions. Keep in mind for those complaining about the placement of the key loop on regard to the knife, the knives and the scissors must open opposite each other due to the way the knife is made. You'd MUCH rather use the blade with the keys on top a bit awkwardly vs. the scissors, which would be very much tougher to use if they were inhibited by the key placement, like the knife.So why is this so great? You'll use this little knife ALL ... THE ... TIME! I can't tell you how many times I walked into a bathroom before a client meeting or a date and snipped an errant nose hair out. Little splinters of wood are no match for the tweezers, whereas few other options are usually available. These won't remove a tick or anything ... but when you need to pull a little glass shard out of your foot ... they are amazing to have.When you have a clothing tag or a hanging string ... or you need to cut a wild flower stem, or even a small tree stem ... these are great. Are you out and need to cut a little cheese and pepperoni for a snack in the hotel room? Need to start and orange peeling ... or shave a little citrus skin for a martini? The sharp knife has you covered.The scissors and blade will also allow you to perform emergency self care. Work on a painful hang nail, pop a blister, etc. I've used this knife so many times to open packages, remove the shrink wrap on vinyl ... and as sloppy as the screwdriver head on the nail file seems, it actually does work to remove screws! I used it to remove a curtain rod one time when I forgot my flat head screwdriver! There are SO many little jams and scrapes this thing will help make your life easier by getting you out of!I'd have paid a bit more to get back the quality of the one I purchased a decade ago. That one was made as strong as a tank and every part worked just as good as the day I bought it, except the toothpick, which fell out. I am a little concerned this one will crack, or the scissors will break as they are not made as well as my old one.Trust me when I say you need one of these! I like the black colour with the silver shield logo. It's sleek looking. Just remember to take it off your keys if you'll be entering a federal building, airport, or concert. The little key ring also never failed me. This is of the best purchases you could make and a super nice gift. Glad I replaced mine. The SD is the perfect size.

Not a lot to say other than I'm totally satisfied!I've carried these little Executive models for years, and it's nice to have a new one. I'm pull this out of my pocket almost every day for some use... scissors, knife, and file.
