5.0 out of 5 stars Best pocket knife ever August 1, 2008

By Scott S.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I was given one of these knifes my father when I graduated from high school to replace a cheap pocket knife I had recently broken.

I carried that knife and used it nearly daily for 23 years until I made the mistake of going to visit the Statue of Liberty last month, where after investing a lot of $ and 2 hours in line the Federal government in the infinite wisdom told me I had to turn it over for disposal or leave ... it was a very tough thing to do, but I turned it over.

I was kicking myself for weeks after everytime I put my hand in my pocket for my knife and re-discovered it was empty.

I looked at a lot of knives but couldn't find anything that was small enough to carry daily and still as useful as this knife. The combination of the small and large blades just can't be beat. Anything more is too bulky, and just a single blade isn't as useful.

I finally found this knife on a Boy Scout website in a Cub Scout edition (which is blue) and discovered it was called a "Pocket Pal" ... that is a VERY apt name.

I then searched on "Pocket Pal" and finally found it here on Amazon for a reasonable price. I bought 2. One is going to stay in it's original package unopened on my book case "in case of emergency", but the other is in my pocket, and I am a "happy camper" again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most used pocket knife I own February 23, 2005

By David Bliss

Of all the many Swiss Army Knives I own, this is the most used. Not only is the Pocket Pal small enough to easily carry in a front jean's pocket, its simplicity makes it perfect for quick use for fruit peeling, paper cutting, and a whole host of tasks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always carry one! January 25, 2008

By J. Sanford

This is one of my favorite Victorinox knives. I love its compact size and simple design. If you consider one of these look at the "Secretary" version - same size with Alox (metal) handles. If you want a knife that is a little larger, with two blades, look at the Bantam II. Even larger, the Pioneer Settler is an excellent choice.
