Surprisingly useful, but get the Midnite MiniChamp instead [Posted on 2004-08-16]
I originally received this knife as a gift, and I gave one of those fake "gee, thanks, this is swell" reactions because I didn't really think it was something I'd ever use. After all, I'd never had a pocket knife, and I never felt the need to carry one.
Man, what a dope I was! I use this little beauty almost every day. It's well-built and the steel keeps its edge for a long time. It's so compact, it's no trouble to carry in my pocket. Scissors are an attachment that usually doesn't work very well in pocket knives, but these have worked well for over 3 years and counting.
I knocked one star off the review because the nail file and cuticle pusher attachments are silly. I would have rather had other items like screw drivers, or just leave them off and make it narrower.
The ball point pen is a clever touch, and has proven surprisingly useful.
Thus is a solid knife, and a great personal accessory. However, that said, if I was making the purchase today, I would skip this and get the Midnite MiniChamp or Midnite MiniChamp II instead. I think the addition of the minilight is a must-have, and if I ever need to replace my little MiniChamp, I'll do it with one of the Midnite models.
replacement Swiss Army Knife [Posted on 2006-09-20]
I lost my Swiss Army Knife after about ten years of use. I missed not having it for small jobs that I looked for another. The Swiss Army MiniChamp II had more usefull blades that I could use. When It arrived I was surprised to find that it was much more usefull than my old one. The service and the knife were so great that if I lose this one I will come back and order another. Can't do without it.
A great small pocket knife [Posted on 2007-05-09]
I do a lot of camping as an adult leader with youth. In the past I have carried a small one bladed-knife or a significantly larger multi-bladed knife. The former has limits in what you can do with it, while the latter is bulky to carry around in my pants pocket. The MiniChamp II has so far proven to be the perfect compromise. Small enough to be easily carried but with the additional tools that make it possible to deal with the unexpected. Linked to a small MagLight, it has become my constant companion on outings.

I probably own over 100 pocket knives, but this is the one that I carry with me every day. This is the second Mini Champ II that I have used(I wore out the first one). This is a very compact knife, that easily fits into your pocket. It has 8 different blades, as well as tweezers, that are all very useful. The ink pen feature really comes in handy more frequently than you might think. It's a "must have" in my opinion.
Best little pocket knife [Posted on 2008-08-17]
This MiniChamp knife is the best little pocketknife for everyday use. It is not to big for your pants pocket or purse and does not weight it down. To my surprise, it has the ball point pen and actually came in use too. My favorite part of this knife is the citrus peeler that really works well for oranges and grapefruits.
I will not leave home without it!
