This model of Victorinox featured knives is very special to me. It has not only achieved a perfect balance of features to size, but has 3 tools that are from the older "medical" Swiss Army knife featured before Victorinox broke away from the other company (name escapes me).
The first such feature is a second blade that cuts like a scalpel... Not literally, but this blade is shaped so one can run it across something, while it is flush to the surface. This cutting architecture is very handy for cutting many items. For example, across a piece of paper to disengage it from a pad... The second feature is a small "gut hook" looking cutter. This has been rebranded as an "orange peeler" but again, it is a unique cutting architecture that allows one to go under to cut across an area. This could be used to cut straps, as an awl, and other things where leverage is needed... it is handy! The third such feature is a small spoon like tool that looks like a coke spoon lol. This tool is an excellent pill crusher, divider, it can pry, and even chisel. It has been rebranded as a cuticle pusher or some such nonsense lol.
In addition to these very special tools which are no longer featured in most of the models this model has an excellent pen that uses the same technology as a fischer Pen... these pens are vacuum sealed and can write in any position. A Fischer pen alone will run one at least 30 bucks! why not just buy the whole tool? There is a scissors, and another great multipurpose tool that I am in love with! This tool features a very sturdy small, multi purpose Phillips head, wire stripper, and small bottle opener/hook. There is also a small regular screwdriver with an etched ruler, a file with point and a tweezers.
ALL these items on a keychain sized knife! The build quality on this knife is "Swiss/Victorinox" quality... I cannot think of a tool that has as much to offer at such a small size. Just a fantastic value for keychain level carry. This is my favorite Swiss army knife... with no caveats. I would encourage people to buy it for reasons that stand out among the rest: Who knows how much longer one will be able to get those three "medical" tools mentioned above. We may soon not see those two cutting implements and the pill crusher. And, your getting a very well made pen that usually., by itself cost more than this entire instrument.
