 A+ pocket knifeDec 24, 2005
By Bruce Q.
I had been looking for this exact knife literally for years since first having identical promotional "free-b's" which became lost. (Ya gotta luv Amazon.com)
Definately great for pants pockets since it's only about 3/16" in thickness. Stainless steel blades eliminate corrosion problems.
Highest recommendation.

 Incredibly Slim, But Feels FlimsyJan 13, 2007
By Joshua Villines
If you want the slimmest possible full-size (or nearly full-size, the blade is slightly smaller than I expected) Swiss Army Knife, the "Secretary" is the model for you. Unfortunately, it felt too fragile and slippery for me, so I went with the thicker "Solo" model. Either knife is an excellent solution if you want a single, useful blade that's neither heavy nor inconvenient to lug around; but if your primary concern is the thickness of the knife, go with the "Secretary." If you intent to put a lot of wear and tear on the knife, I would recommend the "Solo" (which has a slightly larger main blade and no secondary blade - despite being noticeably thicker).

Interesting Product DifferencesNov 01, 2011
By Ricardo
I have had the red plastic-handled version of this knife for a while now and actually had to return the first one due to poor finishing by the factory. The replacement was better, but not as good as I had hoped for.
Yesterday I received the Silver Alox version and the difference in finishing is like night and day. This is how I remember the quality of Victorinox to be. My only concern is the logo which seems to be "painted" on. I'll be surprised if it doesn't wear off eventually.
A nice surprise, which I don't see mentioned in the product description, is that it came with a vinyl pouch. If nothing else, the pouch will protect the logo from wearing off. A nice touch for an inexpensive knife.
As always, SAK blades are exceptionally sharp. I have no idea what type of stainless Victorinox uses, but it's easy to sharpen and holds its edge fairly well. If I was to guess, I'd guess 440 or possibly one of the Krupps alloys. In any case, it really doesn't matter.
A few folks have mentioned it feeling flimsy. I don't think I'd use that word but it is very light. Unless someone were to really abuse this knife, I don't think that it would disappoint them. It's not meant to be more than a light-duty pocket knife and that's just what it is.

Before buying the knife, check the dimensions! This is an solid small pocket knife that's great wherever you go. Except airports.
perfect kittle knifeFeb 02, 2012
By armed guard
At work when I need a knife and I don't feel like using my multi tool I grab this little bigger out if my pocket and It does the job just right. It's so small and light that you forget you even have it in your pocket. It comes to you very sharp right out of the box ready to do whatever small quick jib you need it to do definitely a good knife... Just remember paper and cardboard dull knives if you do a lot of both get a razorbox cutter or get a pocket sharpener.
