Product Description
It's getting a bit dark and the large knife blade of your Victorinox Camper Swiss Army Knife has already come close to stabbing your buddy's toe in your Split the Kipper game. Time to get dinner and a camp-fire going. With a little practice, the Camper Swiss Army Knife's can opener becomes easy to use, while the bottle opener and corkscrew aid with opening whatever kind of beverages you brought. This knife's wood saw makes quick work of thick rope and will even cut through a two-by-four, given enough time and arm sawing.

 Super Knife!! March 6, 2010
Roselyn M. Weber (Gvarv,Norway)
I only had this model for two years
(I lost it at a graveyard LOL) but it was a great outdoors knife. Blades were sharp and the wood saw worked perfectly. Its the right size for for any pocket and it was fairly lightweight. I highly recommend this knife to anyone!!!

In my humble opinion this model has the optimal set of features, and for most things a bigger Swiss Army knife (SAK) would be overkill. Like practically all SAKs, this one has large and small blades, can and bottle openers whose tips double as screwdrivers, and a cork screw (sometimes replaced by a Philips screwdriver in other models). For most daily tasks, this does the job well. What this model adds on top of the basic set is a wood saw, which can come handy when camping, cutting wood for a fire or building shelter. I guess you can also cut plastic tubes or other tough things around the house which can't easily be cut with a small knife.
All of the tools snap into position pretty solid, although they don't lock in place, so you should still pay attention when using them to make sure they don't snap closed. My minor disappointment with this knife is that the large blade is actually rather short, somewhat awkwardly positioned in the middle when closed, and is not ambidextrous (there is only one nail slot for opening). Something easier to open would be much better, ideally with just one hand. The latest SAK model called Trekker solves this issue, but it is also noticeably larger, heavier, and more expensive.
SAKs bigger than this one tend to get too bulky for carrying in your pocket, and if you need more than what this one offers, you are probably better off with a multi tool from Leatherman, Gerber, SOG, or Victorinox - those have pliers, more screwdrivers, files, etc. But then again, SAKs are normally cheaper and more fun than multi tools :)
If you don't care about the wood saw (which is rather useless if you don't camp and live in the city), get the Spartan model, which is the direct descendant of the original Swiss Army knife, and also thinner and lighter than this one.
If you want the wood saw but would rather have a Philips screwdriver instead of a cork screw, check out the Tinker model.
