 Victorinox Pocket Pal Knife July 24, 2010
Mt Walley
It's about as simple as they come: two blades and nothing fancy. But ... does it work ... oh ya ... every time. You know why ... because having with you at all times is effortless. I prefer this red Pocket Pal to the aluminum Secretary because the red version is thicker in the hand and pocket. I should say I am a long time, happy, repeat customer of Victorinox. I use the small blade for non-food cutting, and the large blade for cutting fruits and vegetables. These are the ever sharp Victorinox SS blades and as such will easily handle a myriad of activities. No fancy locking systems, no fancy assisted opening systems, not intended to intimidate in any way imaginable. Just a plain old, good old pocket knife still made in Switzerland, and with no degradation of quality or continuity. Victorinox is wonderful brand that stands for value-priced quality in all of its products. A definite buy for you, and for gifts.

This is the third one of these knives I have owned. Very light weight and thin, sits in your pocket very unobtrusively. Nice Knife.

It seemed to be a big hit with everyone who received them. lots of comments "perfect", "small, just fits in my purse", "great gift", etc.
A perfectly adequate little knife December 4, 2009

I have a large collection of more expensive knives, but I also sometimes appreciate cheap knives which deliver quality beyond what you might expect for the price. This Pocket Pal is one of those.
If you just want a basic little pocket knife, not a large fancy modern thing, this is a perfectly useful knife for a good price. It looks slick and is just the right size to travel in a pocket without overcrowding your other gear.
It has the standard Swiss Army construction and quality. Precisely-shaped blades, aluminum liners under the plastic handle, and the blades/spring are both polished. The result is a strong snap open/closed, but still a smooth feel.
The standard red plastic handle isn't as fancy as a W.R. Case with metal bolsters and bone handle slabs, but all of the important parts on a Victorinox are actually made better and fit together more consistently. The plastic and aluminum handle also makes this little Victorinox a conveniently low weight if you don't want a heavy knife bouncing around in your pocket.
Unfortunately, this is one of the few Victorinox models with the logo printed on the handle, not a nice shiny metal insert like the standard models.
That was fast! April 24, 2009

I don't know how they did it, but my order was here in two days!
The knives are Victorinox, so they're great, and I have never gotten such a low price on them. Put me down as very pleased.
I'll be back.
