Great knife., July 21, 2004
Reviewer: Dustin Woehl
I've purchased several Victorinox Swiss Army Knives and
this one is by far my favorite. I've had it for over ten
years and it is still going strong. My one complaint in
general with buying pocket knives is that you always end
up with at least one tool that you don't need and at least
one tool that you wish you had. This knife has 3 tools in
its back, 2 of which I never really use. One of those is
the hook thing. I think you can use it to hook on to a
piece of wire that is wrapped around something heavy then
you use the rest of the knife as a handle. Haven't had the
opportunity yet. The other is the sharp thing with the
eyelet. Has something to do with being able to work with
leather, I think. Haven't had the opportunity. The other
tools all come in very handy although I wish the phillips
screwdriver was more conveniently located. Use caution if
you need to try to get much torque using the
screwdrivers--because they don't lock, they can close on
your fingers if you are not careful. And the tool I wish
it had . . . the saw. One of my former swiss army knives
had the saw blade, which worked incredibly well at cutting
small pieces of wood and that sort of thing. In general,
cannot complain at all about the quality of the knife; the
blades open and close smoothly and the knife has served me
well for a decade.

I love this knife..., February 1, 2006
Reviewer: M. Walker
This knife is really just my toothpick holder, my favorite
feature by far. I've used half of the features so far at
one time or another, but I'd have to say it's nice to have
the other half around just in case. Nice knife, well worth
the price...

Very useful tool, December 31, 2005
Reviewer: T. Alexander "Cryogenix"
I like this pocket knife because it is slim enough that I
can attach my keys to it and it would not make my pocket
bulky. It has all the essential tools that I need.
The only problem I have with this knife is the location of
the phillips screwdriver. I find it very difficult to use
a screwdriver like that, especially in my case where I
have my keys attached to the knife.

My favorite Swiss Army Knife, November 20, 2005
Reviewer: Arthur F. Shunk
I have had a Super Tinker for 15 years or so and it is
great. The scissers are far superior to those on Wenger
knives(which work off the mainspring rather than a
separate leaf spring) and are the tool I use most. I have
only had to replace the spring once over the course of
those years and much use. The spring is less than two
bucks at a Remington store.
I also like this model because the corkscrew is replaced
with a much more useful Phillips head screwdriver. The
knife has a collection of useful tools and a reasonable
weight. Some of the knives become too cumbersome when they
have feature after feature.
My old Super Tinker does not have the carrying hook. The
toothpick and tweezers are also long gone. I am buying a
new, shiny one for myself and a couple for gifts since
this price is about a third less than I paid all those
years ago.

Lives up to expectations., September 19, 2005
Reviewer: Shogun to the Panda "Internet shopper"
What can I say, it's a swiss army knife. It lives up to
the quality and expectations you would have. Plus it
eliminates the cork screw and repalces it with a
Philipshead screwdriver.

Don't leave home without it!, April 30, 2004
Reviewer: Chris
I've had this knife for over a year, and I don't know what
I did without it. I started carrying this with me
everywhere I went, and it's helped me out more times than
I can remember. I never realized just how helpful a Swiss
Army knife could be until I got this. Need something cut
here, need to loosen or tighten a screw there, tweeze a
splinter out of my hand, you name it.
I've purchased one for my dad, and, although reluctant at
first, he feels the same way I do now.
This is a definite no-brainer of a purchase, as far as I'm
concerned. I'm only sorry that I can't give it more than 5
stars.
