This is a great knife for every day carry and I keep it on my keychain. The knife has the following functions: knife, bottle opener, wire stripper, phillips head screw driver, a scissor, a nail file, a flat head screw driver, a pen and a light.Overall, the knife is quite lightweight. In terms of the size of the red plastic part, the length is 5.8cm, the width is 1.3cm and the height is about 1.1cm. If you include the tools, the length is 5.9cm(the keychain part sticks out a bit), the width 1.9cm and the height stays the same.The knife blade is double edged and has a pointy tip. The flat part is about 2.7cm long before it starts to taper up. The total length of the cutting edge is about 3.3cm. There is a little triangular notch near the end of the cutting edge which I don't really see the use for, but it's there. If you hold the swiss army knife completely parallel to the ground, the knife will be slightly tapered down and point ever so slightly towards the ground.The bottle opener, while it works, is a bit on the small side. This means that if you want to open up a bottle, you would need to work around the bottle cap for a bit before you can pop it off. You cannot do it in one motion.The wire stripper has a diameter of about 2mm.The phillips screw driver is quite small and I use it a lot for opening up electronic devices. It isn't small enough for eyeglasses though. The longer of the edges that makes the cross is about 2.4mmOn the other side of the knife, you can find the nail file. The area is basically 3cm by 0.5cm. I don't know exactly what grain it is, but I guess I would say its a coarse fine? I have definitely seen sand paper with finer grain compared to what is on this knife (the knife is obviously all metal)The flat edge screw driver is 2mm at its thinnest part and tapers up slightly to 3mm. The depth is about 3mm. If you are worried about going into a tight spot, you have about a 3.5cm reach (base of the flat head) due to it being at the end of the nail file. The thickest part of the nail file including the edge is 6mm so that would be the smallest diameter you need the long hole to be.The scissors are pretty self explanatory and work great for cutting nails. Opened up wide, the cutting edge is about 1.5cm long. Realistically though, with just the metal spring opening up the scissor, the cutting edge is only about 1.2cm long. The scissors are quite sharp and have a great cutting edge. That said, I wouldn't cut hard plastic with it since the handle is only 2cm long from the pivot point.The light is pretty dim and I only find use for it with finding the keyhole on a door. Do not expect to use it as a flashlight to walk around in the woods. I have a fenix ld01 (1 AAA battery and up to 80 lumens, but that's another for another review) for that which I definitely use more than the light on this knife. The battery is a button type battery and is quite exposed so I don't think this is waterproof. I haven't tested this though. You turn on the light by pressing the red shield on the side of the knife.The pen I think is pretty cool. It's a standard oil based pen and it has blue ink in it. If you flip the nail file out while you use this pen, it is actually quite comfortable. Replacing these is also quite simple. Just pull the pen out and insert another one in. I wouldn't use this as your main pen though. The reservoir is quite short, about 4cm, so I mainly use the pen in "emergencies".Overall though, I like this knife and use it a lot. It's convenience and lightweight is it's main selling point.

This is the perfect slim Victorinox knife for EDC. It has a good blade, great scissors, screwdrivers, a pen, and a light. All of that in a small package that I easily carry every day just in case I might need it. If I know I will need a tool, I will grab my bigger Victorinox. I also prefer the white light over the old red light.

This knife has been perfect for my keychain. Its length is such that it fits in with the rest of my keys. Width and weight are reasonable.All the tools are very functional and useful. This is a great combination of them.LED is fairly bright, and good enough for most reasonable situations where you need light in the dark. It wont work all that great for a worklight or whatever, but good for not tripping over the toy in the floor when you turn the lights off, or finding that keyhole in the dark. You use a pin or similar to push into a little hole on the side which opens a secret door on the other side of it. Then you slide the battery into it. I actually had to look this up, because it wasn't well explained.Scissors are surprisingly useful. Most little ones are junk but these have worked quite well, even cutting zip-ties and such when opening amazon packages.The pen is extremely useful! Its not as usable as a standalone because you'd have to take the knife off the keychain for extended usage which is a pain. Note that you can open the phillips screwdriver to extend the length of the "pen" which makes it a bit easier to use.Phillips head/bottle opener is nice and thick. Good for getting into tighter locations such as a screw under a doorknob I tightened. You can open it halfway to 90degree angle and get a lot more torque on the screwdriver if needed. Don't overdo it, but this is an option.bottle opener works ok.All in all, very lightweight but sturdy and quite convenient. just dont forget to take it off when traveling by plane! Least till some of the more stupid provisions are removed...I belive there is some talk about allowing small utility knives.
