4.0 out of 5 stars It's 84 degrees in my pocket, February 6, 2007

My son gave me this for Christmas, having picked it from my Amazon.com wish list.

Like all Victorinox Swiss Army knives, it's a brilliantly designed gentleman's multitool. I wanted the altimeter and thermometer features for my occasional travels to Colorado and motorcycle camping.

Since my home state of Indiana is pretty flat, especially the northern half where I live, the altimeter's chief value is as a barometer - if the altitude goes up, the pressure is dropping and stormy weather is coming, if the altitude goes down, the pressure is rising and good weather will follow.

Likewise, I haven't done any real outdoor stuff since Christmas, so about the only temperature readings I've seen have been straight out of my pants pocket, which I can report is a pretty consistent 84 degrees Fahrenheit.

I love gadgets and this is a cool little gadget.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lifetime warrenty for knife, not altimeter, November 28, 2010

I loved this little guy...but after about 2 years of *really* gentle use--day hikes, an overnight or two, skiing--the electronics went haywire and the screen compartment started to get condensation in it....the electronics aren't covered by the great warranty, only a very limited one. If I had seriously used this in the back country, I doubt it would have lasted a year.

First off. The knife is great. I wouldn't expect anything less from swiss army. only bad part about the knife is that the altimeter has an accuracy error margin of about 75%. And since this is both the title of the knife and the main feature of it, I give the knife a two. Only because you can get a knife just like it without the altimeter that works just as well.
