Victorinox Swiss Army Classic SD Small Pocket Knife Silver 58 mm

Over the years, I've owned dozens of knives, but I recently returned to my first, the Swiss Army Classic in Silver Alox. I still have the same red one I got when I was nine years old, but I don't carry it because I don't want to lose it. br>br>The basic functions you'll need in an EDC knife are all present and correct, and they'll serve you well. Scissors are perhaps the most effective cutting tool available. My extensive experience spans decades. The razor-sharp edges of the old red model are still present. Despite having been used a thousand times, the scissors are still sharp. This is the knife you want to carry if you only have one. The Silver Alox model does not come with a toothpick or tweezers, but it is so small and light that it is ideal for carrying on a keychain. This is an excellent backup knife if you carry a larger knife. br>br>The Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife is one of the few items on the market that offers so much functionality and utility in such a small package.

a design flaw that is both breaking and egregious - The key ring is on the wrong side of the knife, and when you open it, it opens up towards the keys, making it very difficult to use. You can't get a good grip or leverage because the keys are in your way. It's inexcusable that Victorinox would overlook the functionality of the tool's primary part on their "classic" version, especially when the ring is in the proper location on the rest of their line. If you're looking to buy something to use while it's on your keychain, don't expect to be able to do so. I'm forced to return this and buy a Leatherman because any other SAK option with Alox is either more expensive or heavier than it's LM counterpart, which is obviously a few rungs higher in quality than SAK. It's incredibly disappointing because if it was just on the other side, this would be a faultless tool that I use all the time; this is a huge oversight that needs to be addressed immediately.

It's so tiny! My wife recently requested that I use my EDC Swiss Army Cadet for the nail file, as she had previously used it and enjoyed it. She was pleading with me to use it more frequently. That's fine, but I wanted to give it to her as a surprise. br>br>It turns out that it's simply too small - Even in her hands (5'4", 120 lbs. ), she can put it to good use. I'm going to get her her own Cadet. I'll probably have it engraved in her favorite color. br>br>I'm not opposed to this classic. I'd never held one before, so I didn't realize there was such a big difference in size; additionally, my wife claimed that opening this tiny knife was so hard on her nails that it would probably chip the paint with those tiny nail Nick's- When compared to the Cadet, the Cadet is a much more powerful vehicle.

For decades, I've carried a Classic SD around with me. The classic red design dominated for a long time. I once purchased one with an engraving plate, which turned out to be quite nice. The Silver Alox raises the bar on design. It appears to be excellent. It has a better feel in the hand, and the implements are of the same high quality as the other Victorinix knives. Tweezers and a toothpick aren't included in this design. I haven't missed the toothpick in a long time. In any case, it was the first item to go missing. Tweezers are useful for a variety of tasks, so I'd like to have some. The advantage is that the knife is slimmer than SD knives that do not have them. This keychain knife is ideal for me because it is small, light, of good quality, and quite sturdy.

In both alox and plastic scales, I have a Victorinox Classic SD. Both knives, of course, provide a useful tool set and excellent build quality in a small and light package. The question is which version to purchase, and I'll list the benefits of each model below based on my personal experience. Alox version: br>br>Alox version: br>br>Alox version: br>br> br>* Scales are more durable and won't scratch or crackbr>* Solid scales make the knife easier to clean and drybr>* Slightly lighter and slimmer, allowing it to fit into tighter spacesbr>br>Plastic version: br>* Comes with a toothpick and tweezersbr>* Smooth scales provide better tractionbr>* Wider handle provides a better grip and more control of the knife while cuttingbr>* Doesn't make as much noise when bumping into other items on the keychainbr>* Is typically cheaperbr>br>The verdict:br>The plastic version is the winner. In tasks that are more demanding than opening envelopes, the wider, smoother handle allows for noticeably better control and grip of the knife. Peeling and cutting an apple, for example (yes, the small blade can handle it). It gets scratched against keys, but it's not a big deal, and I've yet to get a crack. br>br>I also own a Victorinox Rambler, which has a number of advantages over the Classic - Specifically, an extra tool and a key ring on the blade's opposite side. Out of the three models, that is the one I prefer.

If you're wondering how big it is when it's closed, it's about the size of a standard house key, give or take. The knife is small, and I haven't used it much, but it does have its uses. The nail file does the job, but I'm not a big fan of it. I definitely prefer the cadet alox's nail file. I've never used the screwdriver that comes with the file, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. The scissors, on the other hand, are my favorite tool on this tiny knife. I frequently use the scissors to remove small threads from clothing. They're simple to use right out of the box and have a good amount of sharpness. It is very easy to cut small threads with this tool. The alox scales are my favorite because they are so comfortable to wear. In general, this is a good keychain knife.
