Advantages: 101 uses for your knife

Disadvantages: On the expensive side, but isn't quality worth paying for?

A companion for life indeed! I bought this particular multi tool as I was going camping - being my first time, was scared of being in some woods without A. a light and B. some form of defence/deterrent. When I saw this a few weeks prior to going, I knew it was the one for me. As with all Victorinox products, it is extremely well constructed. It has 19 features which I find to be pretty amazing and very handy - not just to ward off invisible monsters in a forest, but in more practical times - around the home, for example. The lenght of the knife, when closed is 91mm, making it something you can have on you at all times, should a need arise. The features are as follows:
Bright white LED - with a flick of a switch you get this precise light that can pretty much brighten a room.
Digital clock - the number of times i haven't had my watch on me and had to rely on this are countless.
Digital alarm - very much an audible alarm.
Digital timer - another excellent feature, has come in handy when boiling an egg.
Large blade - having recently moved house, I have found this incredibly useful in tackling well packaged boxes - it literally rips them apart.
Small blade
Corkscrew - not being a drinker myself, my friend's have made use of this one.
Can opener - especially to get into a tin of custard - haven't been able to locate Ambrosia with a pull off top, so the knife was definetly a godsend at this point!
3mm screwdriver - an excellent flat headed device
Wire stripper - hmmmm.......must admit, I am not that adventurous to have used this one.
Scissors - slices through paper with ease.
Philips screwdriver - again, for the house move and also in general. I can tell how brilliantly constructed the knife is when I use this, as I have tried to open the tighest of screws, and managed it without the fear of breaking the product.
Multi-purpose hook with nailfile
Reamer / punch can be used for poking holes in leather and other touch materials like rubber or sheet metal.
Stainless steel hook - can be used on bottles (with sharp ridges on the cap)
Ballpoint pen - those moments when I have needed a pen, and thought I know I haven't got one, then remember that Victorinox included this nifty number in this multi-tool.
Tweezers - not really capable of tweezing hairs, but have found these useful for picking up delicate minute screws.
Toothpick - cream in colour, made of plastic, having eaten an apple/orange and found it useful in gleaning the remnants from my teeth.
Keyring - I have mine attached to my keys so i know where it is.
What sets the Swiss army knife apart from others is the use of stainless steel, maing the notion of rust a concern that can be batted away. This versatile knife can be purchased for £44.95 (don't think the price has changed since I bought mine, but it's definelty worth it!) You can even buy one with a USB or even a red laser.
Victorinox guarantees a life time against any defects in material and
workmanship. I haven't found any problems with mine at all.

Summary: Excellent construction and extremely versatile
