Amazon.com Review
From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army knife a century ago comes this complete set of tools for men and women to tuck into pocket, purse, glove compartment, fishing-tackle box, or anyplace else where it can be found in a hurry. Measuring just 2-1/4 inches long--smaller than a pack of gum--and sheathed in the famous Swiss Army red plastic, the MiniChamp II pocket knife is a toolbox and manicure kit small enough to fit into a pocket or clip onto a key ring. A valued companion, this pocket knife consists of 11 separate tools and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

The tools folded inside the pocket knife include a small knife blade, scissors, a nail file, a nail cleaner, a cuticle pusher, tweezers, a cap lifter with a magnetic Phillips head screwdriver, a scraper, a ball point pen, an emergency blade, and a screwdriver with ruler. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Surprisingly useful, but get the Midnite MiniChamp instead
I originally received this knife as a gift, and I gave one of those fake "gee, thanks, this is swell" reactions because I didn't really think it was something I'd ever use. After all, I'd never had a pocket knife, and I never felt the need to carry one.

Man, what a dope I was! I use this little beauty almost every day. It's well-built and the steel keeps its edge for a long time. It's so compact, it's no trouble to carry in my pocket. Scissors are an attachment that usually doesn't work very well in pocket knives, but these have worked well for over 3 years and counting.

I knocked one star off the review because the nail file and cuticle pusher attachments are silly. I would have rather had other items like screw drivers, or just leave them off and make it narrower.

The ball point pen is a clever touch, and has proven surprisingly useful.

Thus is a solid knife, and a great personal accessory. However, that said, if I was making the purchase today, I would skip this and get the Midnite MiniChamp or Midnite MiniChamp II instead. I think the addition of the minilight is a must-have, and if I ever need to replace my little MiniChamp, I'll do it with one of the Midnite models.

Good but there's a better alternative in the Rambler
I had this knife until I donated it to security at the airport. When went to replace it I found the Rambler. Very similar knife but without some of the tools I rarely used. It has the blad, nail file, phillips/bottle cap operner, scissors, and toothpick and tweezers. Ends up being a little thinner too. Also was a bit cheaper. I recomend the victorinox knives in general, very well made and last a long time. I've got my rambler on my keychain with a maglite solitaire as well and find that very convenient.

Four years and counting with almost daily use
I have had this knife for four years and it has yet to fail me. When I first got the knife, I was VERY careful with it so as to prevent it from being scratched - since then I realized something - IT'S A POCKET KNIFE! USE IT LIKE ONE! I can and have used it for almost anything. The features I use most often in order are: the scissor, screwdriver (with a magnetic tip), pen, tweezers and knife. I have at one time or another used EVERY feature for its intended use or otherwise and LOVE this little knife. Its size also makes it really easy to keep around - in a pocket, on a belt (with the little leather case - not included), etc.... I take it everywhere I go and am always saddened when I have to leave it at home when flying. This knife is of the smaller of the two sizes Victorinox makes but includes the most and best features within this category. This is one of the best investments one can make.
