I have two swiss army knives. I happened across a camper on a hike more than ten years ago, and have been sold on victorinox knives ever since. Now I have a card too. I have had it for a year now and really enjoy it. I carry it in the credit card slot of my PDA wallet and use it often. The camper is a stronger knife but I like this one's portability. The other knife was more than I wanted in my pocket all of the time and this one is just automatically with me. My only complaint is that it lacks the heft and strength of my other knife, but to be portable you go small. I compared it with the spydercard but I like to have more than just one blade available. Hope this helps!

An invaluable tool, although not flawless. The blade is great for stripping off CD packaging (most use), and always handy to have a pair of scissors, although the scissors cover tends to snap off through use and cannot be re-attached.

The pen, whilst tiny and not that comfortable to use, has proved an assett.

There are a number of great credit card knives, (so called because they are when folded the size of a credit card) made by both S.O.G. which makes the "Access card", and Spyderco which makes the "Spydercard". The cost nearly is the same and the others have actual useful blades. This thing is cheap, cheap, cheap incomparison. Do yourself a favor and take a look at those others before buying this one.

Have had this for years now, with additional gifts at various times. Although I'd expected this to come in quite handy, I have found the scissors and knife not quite up to what I need at the time. (I probably use the tip of a ballpoint pen as well or better.)

The small knife no longer locks into the card, It generally is floating around in my pocket and I have to be careful not to stab myself.

The scissor cover broke off a long time ago, and also floats around in my pocket.

The pen is useless. Its diameter is so tiny, only the smallest fingers have a hope of operating it.

It is a good idea, but I would wait for some much needed improvements to be made.

The plastic door for the scissors could easily break off.

By the way, the Swiss Card was advertised as 10 fuctions; but the blade was counted twice - blade & letteropener.

It has a ball point pen which is quite useful.

I use this every day, and keep it in my pocket, except when traveling. It has kept in perfect condition for over a year. The scissors are perfect for needlework, as are the 2 mini-rulers. The tweezers can even be used for lacemaking, even though they are flat-headed. The knife is *very* sharp and stays that way.

The plastic door for the scissors is set in a groove, and would be difficult to break off, and the pen is too small to wield properly, but works in a pinch.

This card fits perfectly into my wallet and contains all sorts of goodies that come in handy all the time. Just when you think you don't have the tool to do a job, you'll remember you've got this card in your wallter, whip it out, do the job and impress your friends at the same time. A great addition to any do-it-yourselfers wallet. Just make sure you take it out of your wallet before you go through airport security!

This Swiss Army card is the best ever - has everything the knife has PLUS convenience of being card size. I've given dozens of these as gifts after receiving one myself.

Not as sturdy as I had expected; the instruments will not survive repeated use. But it's handy to have around in case of an emergency and makes a cute gift, tho a bit pricey.
