Victorinox Signature Lite Pocket Knife

I own a ridiculous number of Swiss Army knives, but have settled on just two I actually use and carry constantly:The versatile Compact for everyday use, and this knife for when the Compact is too bulky to carry, like in dressier clothes, pants with small pockets etc.It has 75% of the functionality of the Compact in about 1/3 the size. Small enough to always be with you, in a suit, jeans “watch” pocket, golf slacks, on a key chain, etc. The multitool with small Phillips driver is great- really comes in handy on most small electronics (changing batteries, etc) and the myriad of consumer goods held together with little Phillips screws. The usefulness of the other tools is obvious.

Most everyone can appreciate having a scissors, nail file, tweezers, small blade to open letters and packages, and toothpick in their pocket, making the Swiss Army Classic perhaps the most popular pocketknife in the world. And, as a wilderness backpacker and camper, I have been a fan of the Swiss Army Classic because the scissors and tweezers add great value for First Aid, and the blade and toothpick as well.This Victorinox model is enhanced with a white LED light (for close-range illumination of dark places or in the darkness) and a small pen - but these replace the tweezers and toothpick. In an actual everyday carry sense, if a person doesn't ordinarily carry a flashlight or pen, this model provides a good set of in-pocket tools, so I replaced my Classic with this model as part of my everyday carry, even carrying it in the wilderness because it is so small and lightweight. However, I still have a Classic in my backpack's First Aid Kit.

This Swiss Army Knife arrived very quickly. It has all the features as advertised. They all work very well. Features include scissors, knife, nail file/screwdriver, pen, and flashlight. It is a good small size that fits easily in my pocket. The pen is a great feature; I am never without a pen now. The other tools are very handy to have.

This is a tiny little pocket knife, and just the perfect thing for someone who wants to be ready for any little event that might come up!It is important to always be prepared. This belief has led me to always have a pocketknife on my person, but in my goings-about I discovered that I also often needed a pen and a notebook, so I started carrying a Fisher Space Pen everywhere, as well as a small notebook. It was occasionally convenient to carry a small flashlight (which can be more maneuverable/helpful than using a cell phone flashlight), so I started carrying one of those, too, and soon my pockets were forever bulging and a-jangle with 4 different items.The Swiss Army Signature Lite is such a wonderful, useful, light, and compact tool! It combines 3 of the most useful items you can carry into one unobtrusive little device. Always at the ready, well-built, and reliable. The small size means it isn't as unsettling to others when you pull a knife out of your pocket, and the little blade is more than capable of doing 95% of whatever a person might need a knife to accomplish. The scissors are robust and the pen writes without streaking or smudging.The light is enough to take care of any brief task, though it should be noted that the button must be depressed to maintain the light You can't click it on and set it aside. Good to reduce flashlight battery drain from being on in the pocket, but it does reduce the usefulness some in the field.The scales are thicker than a typical Swiss Army Knife, obviously to accommodate the pen and the battery. It is somewhat less aesthetically appealing due to this, but it cannot be avoided.I could not be happier with my little knife. It has reduced my pocket load and allows me to be prepared for all the little things that come up in my day. Perfect, perfect, perfect, and worth the cost!

This is a great tool! I love it, but it is not perfect. Sometimes when using, the blade will close on you. I notice this with other Swiss Army knives. Pretty annoying.

This is a wonderful knife. The small flashlight works very well.

When I first got this, I would forget I had it. I wear it on a string around my neck, and it is super handy. I teach clinical classes all over the campus of a hospital, and sometimes I forget to bring a pen. This is no longer an issue. You wouldn't want to write a novel with it but for taking notes or signing out some equipment, it works just fine. The pen writes smoothly with no smudging. The flashlight isn't particularly impressive but provides slightly more light than a note 5 screen on full brightness setting when shined across my dark living room. I've had it for close to a year and use the light occasionally and it is still bright. The sharp little knife, screwdriver/file (protip: the little screwdriver tip is tapered and will work on flatheads and Phillips screws) and scissors are the same quality as on the small SAK with the tweezers and toothpick. It doesn't do any one job as well as any of its full-size counterparts, but it is literally smaller than my pinkie. Everything I own is valuable to me and I baby my things. If you abuse this tool, it will fail. If you are a reasonable person and use this good tool with consideration of its limitations, it will most likely serve you well.

Clip it to your keychain and you'll use it every day. A pen, flashlight, scissors to cut tags and more. I received so many compliments, that everyone's getting one for Christmas! Shhhhhh
