As a bottle opener, I didn't find that it worked that well, January 18, 2011
I read most of the reviews and bought this product and maybe I'm the only one but I had trouble with the bottle opener in that it would slip off the bottle cap. I would get it under the bottle cap and start to pry and it would start to come off but then it would slip because you couldn't get proper leverage. I let my friend use it at a party and gashed his hand up pretty badly when the thing slipped off the top of the bottle cap. I found the knife to be pretty useful when opening packages or anytime you needed a small knife. I know some people have said they can get it past security but I just saw a TSA agent confiscate one on my last flight. Overall I wouldn't buy this product again and would just a regular Swiss Army knife which I can get better leverage.

A good everyday pocket knife, July 19, 2008
I grew up almost always having a pocket knife with me at all times. Although I went through periods when I thought it was a good idea to carry pocket knives with blades that are 5 inches or longer, over the years I realized that a small knife is all you need most of the time and and is much more convenient to carry.
The Buck Metro is a nice, small knife and bottle opener in one. This is without a doubt my favorite key chain knife and is with me all the time. Sure, it's not meant as a camping and survival knife and it certainly isn't going to be helpful in Rambo-style knife fights, but it's the perfect little pocket knife for average people who go about their lives and sometimes need a knife to open a box or cut a loose thread, etc. The fact it has a built-in bottle opener is also a nice plus.

Good luggage knife, August 19, 2007
I bought several of these to give away as gifts and kept one for myself. This little knife definitely has it's place. The only problem I have with it is that it's all knife and no blade - the blade itself is very small. On the other hand, that's what makes it useful; I can put it in my luggage without worrying about it being confiscated. When folded, it just looks like any other bottle opener.
If you're visiting places where they are sensitive about the type of knife you are carrying, this one is perfect. It's utterly inoffensive, small, light and the bottle opener even works.
I carried it around Ireland for a couple weeks and it did fine for all the little jobs you carry a pocket knife for. I keep it in my luggage and it has traveled dozens of times with me.
