...company famous particularly for their Swiss Army Knife and a more than wide range of multi-purpose pocket knives, but besides these items they also produce a lot of top-quality kitchen knives and tools. However, they specialize in small, multi-functional cat's paws. Founded by Karl Elsener in 1884 this company has won great reputation and probably everybody has at least heard about a swiss knife or seen a small red pocket knife with a white cross ...
...blade, scissors and corkscrew! SwissCard Lite is a flat (3mm thick) credit-card sized case containing 6 removable tools and 3 built-in tools that can be always handy to have in your pocket or handbag as it contains basic survival agents such as blade, light and pen.

Advantages: Cheap and robust
Disadvantages: gets dull pretty quick

I got this swiss army knife a few years ago for xmas and is still serving me well. I find the large blade to be a bit of an annoyance because it gets dull quite quick and is really hard to shapen without disforming the look of the blade. However its worth every penny. What you get is what you see, ingenius swiss engineering at its best (their watches are better). Every feature is made from high quality stainless steel(probably carbon steel) Features: ...

Advantages: Generally an awesome piece of equipment
Disadvantages: Knife slightly too sharp :)

My father bought me this as a present for my birthday. My immediate reaction was to do what i think most people do, flick out all the tools! I was suprised when after 10 minutes i still hadn't managed to get everything out, as my small fingernails were no match for the fiddliness of it. When i had taken everything out, i was in shock about how many tools there actually were. My mind was raking over what each tool would be used for. I was in for a ...
...large knife, which i didn't realise sprang shut when you pushed it, sliced the top of my finger. That kind of ruined the day as my mom was stressing about blood being poured on the carpet. Five months later, all the tools have stayed sharp, not something you normally find with un-branded penknifes. I think that every person should own one of these, simply for handyness reasons ...

Advantages: Plenty of tools, small size.
Disadvantages: Pricing could be considered steep, tweezers and toothpicks easily lost.

...to describe how useful the Swiss Army Huntsman Knife is. With a size being slightly smaller than an average male middle-finger, and yet still thinner than a thumbs width, it is no wonder that it is more commonly known as a the more popular 'Pocketknife' - a place where it is perfectly safe to hold, might I add. As with most items, the size has no impact on the innards of the instrument, although it is definitely helpful that it can slide neatly in ...
...in place. As with all Swiss Army Knives, this comes with strong stainless steel and some dangerously sharp edges (Warning: Do NOT test these on your skin. It will cut!). *Tools* This version of the Swiss Army Huntsman Knife comes with (usually) sixteen features, although this can vary. All of tools are indefinitely useful, and will cut through just about most things without breaking into a sweat. The tools include: - Bottle opener, - Can opener, ... Read review
