My Review of Swiss Army Minichamp

Originally submitted at REI

This versatile knife features a retractable pen that allows you to use the pen without removing it from the knife.

Gift: No

Pros: Durable, Versatile, Sharp Blade

Best Uses: Home, OfficeWork, Camping

Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational

This is a great, all-around pocket knife that I've owned for about three years. Of the many Victorinox knives I've owned, from the smallest to the largest, I still keep the Swiss Champ in my computer/commuter pack, but this smaller Champ is by far the best one I've owned. Not because it can do everything, but because it has a good suite of tools and functionality in a small package. It's the one that I'm most likely to have with me all the time.

The small Philips is great for computers and around the office and the ball-point pen is useful in a pinch, though one wouldn't write more than a few sentences with it. One of the tools not listed is a cuticle-pusher. This is NOT a knife that I'd use in the woods or camping, but for a tag-along in a pair of slacks, it's perfect.

Living in a pocket it can get dirty and linty, but that's easily remedied with some warm, soapy water and a toothbrush.
