      Comments about Swiss Army Classic Knife:

      This is the absolute perfect knife for any camping trip. Unless you plan on skinning animals or whittling in mass quantities, this knife is all you're going to need. and it's a Swiss Army Knife so it's a high quality piece of equipment. Bottom line; it isn't bigger than it has to be, so it's perfect for backpacking

      Comments about Swiss Army Classic Knife:

      I use it mostly to carry around just to have it with me ,but whenever i go on boy scout trips it is my number one knife.my favorite thing about it is that it does not take up alot of space and is lightweight. the problem with it though is that it does dull after even casul use and needs to be sharpened frequently.

      Comments about Swiss Army Classic Knife:

      My upteenth purchase. All my other purchases have been lost, "borrowed", or given as gifts. My most recent loss was to airport security. It's so light and so compact you'll forget it's there, but TSA will find it!

          Comments about Swiss Army Classic Knife:

          Have owned half a dozen of these over last 30 years and given a like number away as gifts -- they're small and do get lost. Can't live without one for more than 2 weeks, take it with me always. Obviously too small to be a workhorse, but incredibly versatile and useful. Just watch out for airport security, that's how I lost my last one.
