If you carry one of these, you'll forget you have it. The Alox are extremely thin. High quality.

The first thing that struck me when I got this knife is that it was very thin. I believe the lack of a toothpick and tweezers makes it slightly thinner than most Swiss Army knives; it fits nicely on a keychain and is darn good to have around. It's quite sturdy feeling, pretty nice looking, and best of all, it's cheap. I think it would make a good stocking stuffer.

This knife Victorinox - Swiss Army Classic SD- Silver Alox Knife is lighter, slimmer and more handsome than the typical Swiss Army Classic with the plastic sides. Although the product description says it has a tweezer and toothpick, as are found on the Classic with plastic sides, this model has neither. That's why it is so much thinner and lighter than the other models. I've carried it on my key chain for about a month, and it looks no worse for the wear. A great value at about $15.00!

The review by "Barry" was right on. After reading the review I realized this was the little knife I wanted. I did not need the tweezers and toothpick. The little knife is quite small and as noted not as thick as the regular Classic Swiss Knife. It is top quality and well made...

I gcarry this knife with the one key I use at work all the time. Lightweight,use it at least 10 times a day to cut something,file a hangnail, tighten a small screw. Chicks dig me when show them my blade. TW.

My dad has loved these knives for the longest time and it was time for a new one (his last one has lasted ~5 years) and I asked him if he used the tweezers or toothpick and he said no, which I assumed (who really uses that huge toothpick and the weak tweezers) so I thought this knife would be great. The metal case with the indents feels great in your hand and is a very solid knife, it is thinner than the older models but feels even more sturdy and looks great. I highly recommend this knife for its quality and price and I'm sure it will last a long time if not longer than the older ones!

This knife is missing the toothpick and tweezers when compared to the regular version with plastic scales. But what you get instead is a knife that is only ONE HALF as thick! Besides, who uses the toothpick or tweezers anyway. 99.9% of the functionality of this knife is in the 3 main tools. This thing is so amazingly slender that you can carry it around in your front pocket all day every day and never even feel that it is there. It will not rub in an irritating way like most things carried in pockets. Also it will never show a bump in your pants.

The fine aluminum scales look sleek and elegant and are even suitable for engraving. The scales are well textured without being abrasive and provide a secure, comfortable grip. It is the perfect executive pocket knife (except that it is not overpriced). It is also the perfect pocket companion for people who don't want or like to carry a pocket knife, but still may need to open a package or envelope, trim a loose thread, clean a fingernail or turn a screw once in a while. Let's face it, tool use is what sets us apart from the beasts. Mine has been carried daily for 7 years and still looks perfectly new. I sharpen it when needed and it will shave hair. The only time I do not carry this knife is when I want to have a pen on me. In that case I carry the similar Signature knife with retractable pen and tweezers. With either of these great pocket companions at hand, my life is made a little easier and more pleasant each day.

These comments are in no way a disparagement of the standard plastic Classic knife, of which I have several. That is also a great product. I just feel that the Alox version takes a great concept to it's ultimate refinement. If they tripled the price, I would still be a fan.

dazzled my daughter with this when she asked for a swiss army knife for her birthday. makes a special keepsake gift. excellent value.

The knife arrived in a very timely way, and it was in its original Victorinox packaging as expected. Very pleased with the purchase.

I have carried the plastic version of this for many years. It is the most useful thing I own. I like to refer to it as my WMD (Weapon of Minimal Destruction).
I almost ordered this one, until I noticed it is missing the toothpick and tweezers of the plastic version. I would miss the toothpick, especially the look on my wife's face when I offer it to her to use (Ewww, gross).

This small knife is so light weight you barely know it is in your pocket. It comes to the rescue several times per week. At a family gathering during Christmas it helped open most relatives presents. The knife blade and scissors stay sharp for a long time.
