Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet Knife

Victorinox offers the most consistent quality of any brand of knives, and this alox Cadet is no exception. It's very slim and would fit comfortably in a pants pocket. The textured alox (aluminum oxide) handles provide a better grip than the standard Swiss Army Knives' smooth plastic. The alox looks great too, making this suitable for gift-giving. I would recommend this knife for basic outdoor use - hiking and simple camping. It would also be at home in an office or professional environment. My gripes: The alox models lack the tweezers and toothpicks. The tools on this are redundant - the can opener also opens bottles, so why a separate bottle opener?

This is one of the most useful pocket knives that can also be comfortably carried in a pair of dress pants that I have ever owned. I wish the nail file was a drilling awl like the one in the larger version, but even it is handy for untying belligerent knots.

Excellent knife for the $'s as usual from Victorinox, Swiss Army Brand.

Great price, and practical! The thing I like best about this knife is that it has features I like best in a knife, and doesn't have a lot of extra gadgets(that I rarely use anyway) that add bulky weight. It has a nice appearance and is reliable. I'm a big fan of Swiss army knives. I like a sturdy, lightweight sharp knife. The screwdriver/openers/file blades are handy. I'd recommmend it for a permanant fixture of any back pack, hiking vest or pants pocket. I'll probably get a few extras for family and friends.

Compact but very handy

Light and sharp.
