Can't live without it April 25, 2008

I was bought a swiss army climber about 6 or 7 years ago by my mother. since having it I have found all the blades useful with the possible exception of the multi purpose hook, but I am not a climber. Presumably if I was this would be the icing on the cake.
Every other blade has been used often, even the reamer although I always thought reaming was an intimate pastime. If this is so, although my innocence can't confirm it, I would suspect this tool is not named with that (whatever it is) in mind.
It is compact as swiss army knives go. It fits well in the pocket and for all it does, it is not obtrusive or heavy. You will at some point need spares, the tweezers and toothpick do go walk about. These are available for 2-3 pounds each. I have lived for many years without either but at some point when you have a few pence in your pocket you will want them, and before that day you will miss them so you might as well buy them as soon as they go missing.
I would advise you, if you do buy this knife to also buy an extendable cord keyring because you will want the certainty that an extendable cord will give you, in that your knife will always be attached to a belt loop, and also whilst being firmly tied to the device you will still be able to use it. I once lost mine for 6 months and many times during that period I cursed my absent mindedness.
 Good Knife! April 2, 2008

Mine is about 10 years old - I was given it by my Dad after he "lost" it, went out and bought a new one then "found" it again. I've been using it for whittling odd things quite a lot and the blade seems to still be quite sharp, although I have sharpened it once. The stainless steel edge keeps very well.
All of the other functions are very good, and the scissors will easily cut through most things. Not sure what the reamer is supposed to be for but it does a good job at punching holes and untying tough knots.
Just one word of warning though: if you are looking for a proper knife which locks and is more suited for cutting, try one of Victorinox's large lock-blade knives. I own the Picknicker, and the only tool on that I ever use is the blade, though you can get ones with more functions like this one.
Overall, a good pocket-tool with lots of good functions, and a great edge that will hold; but if you are looking for a more full-time knife, try elsewhere. Great for odd jobs.
Best Swiss Army Knife September 13, 2007
L. V. S. Jennings (London, UK)
All Swiss Army knives are great - unbeatable quality and they'll last forever. Having said that, the climber is the best Swiss Army Knife in my opinion, it has the best combination of tools that actually get used - can & bottle openers, blade, scissors, tweezers. Having one of the giant ones just isn't necessary and you end up not taking it anywhere because it's too heavy.
Rediculously useful! August 31, 2007
zivi browning (london)
I got one of these just a few months ago, but it has allready had its share of ware and tear... Luckily however you don`t notice it because it`s such a tuff little thing. My blade remained razor sharp ever since I got it, and it has needed no maintainence. Even though it only has a few attachments, you can improvise and make up for it. That seving needle thingy on the back can be used as a: fish scaler, shallow-cut knife, punch, chissle, needle and alot more! Also note that the hook is handy for getting you`r pound out of a trolly if you don`t want to return it, as it acts like the little mettal slat you feed into the opposite end. I couldn`t have been more satisfyed!
Great! March 20, 2006

I was given one of these climber knifes a while ago, it was my dads before and is still in perfect condition, it is infinitely useful, a great first pocket knife. And the price is absolutely fantastic, for a knife that should last forever, providing you don't mistreat it of course.
