Victorinox 4.1860 Multiclip Belt Clip with 2 Loops Hanger with 2 Chains, Silver, 520 mm

As they say, 'I liked it so much I purchased more!' I originally set out to buy what I believe is called a 'biker chain', a security device that attaches a wallet (say) to a trouser belt so that it cannot get lost or stolen. They are often worn by motorcyclists in the USA but the fad has crossed the Atlantic and they are now to be found being worn by non-motorcyclists too, everywhere. I went in search of a biker chain solution but none of the examples I found completely satisfied my requirement. It was pure chance that I stumbled upon the offering from Swiss company Victorinox. I own several Victorinox multiplex pocket knives and I carry one everywhere with me. I know from long experience that Victorinox make products of unsurpassed quality and that reputation made me take a closer look at the Multiclip which includes 2 chains, one for a wallet, the other for a bunch of keys, although both chains could be used for entirely different uses. The Multiclip was not expensive so I purchased one and I was delighted by what I found. The 'clever bit' is the solid metal belt hanger which clips over the trouser belt without the need to first remove the belt. The clever mechanism clips over the belt and 'locks' in such a way that it is virtually impossible for the belt hanger to detach itself, yet it is sufficiently simple to operate that it can be removed or attached within seconds. The chains are very strong without being heavyweight. Often chains can be over engineered and therefore heavy or overlong. The Victorinox Multiclip strikes a very acceptable compromise being both strong and light and heavily chromed to resist corrosion.I use my Multiclip for my wallet and my car keys. I purchased a second Multiclip for my brother which has numerous uses and applications. I plan to buy more Multiclips to present as practical birthday gifts. An excellent device all round and highly recommended.

I use this belt clip with my Swiss Army Knife on the long chain, in a belt pouch, and a pocket watch on the short chain. I put the clip immediately over the watch pocket of my jeans (yes, that's what that little pocket is for), and the watch hangs straight down into it.The clip is really easy to attach to your belt, and you don't need to undo the belt to fit it - it just slides over. Once on, it's completely secure. It can't slide back off as there's a sprung clip which latches in place.The chain is very good quality. I've had loads of cheap wallet or key chains, and the weak link is always the ring at the end. Not so on this chain, which appears to be indestructible.I'd always assumed that Victorinox was a quality brand, and having bought several of their knives recently, I can confirm that it is. I can also confirm that the reputation for quality extends to the accessories as well.

This snaphook and chain match the quality and build of their penknives and other products. Its bright finish is complemented by its usefulness. Attached to my multiclip my car key sits safe deep in my pocket but it’s simple to retrieve it without the usual scrabble in my handkerchief and other contents of my pocket.

I wanted a belt clip to suspend a Victorinox SD knife in the front pocket of my chinos and have a longer chain to attach my keys to when I go out. This does both of those things very well.Over the years I have had as the item I always have with me, first one of the larger Victorinox knives with a locking blade (unfortunately no longer legal carry in the UK), then a Swiss Card (excellent except that I never had confidence in the robustness of the blade included) and most recently a Champ (great piece of kit, does just about everything you could want but weighs a ton, even in a belt pouch). The SD knife gives the 2 tools I most use, a sharp blade and a pair of scissors, small though it is.I particularly wanted to avoid the knife sitting at the bottom of my pocket where it gets mixed up with other stuff and tends to imprint its shape on the outer material (particularly with denim where it wears a knife shaped outline into the material). The short chain ends in a clip which opens easily, but has been secure so far, and lets the knife hang freely halfway down into my pocket, exactly as I wanted.The longer chain ends in a split ring, not what I wanted as I don't like dragging keys around with me all day, but the addition of a small clip I had lying around solved that and I now just pick up my keys on the way out, snap them into the clip and drop them in a pocket. Perfect. Chain is just the right length for me although I had been unsure how long I would need as I am 6'6".This belt clip seems robust and the finish durable. It clipped over a 1 1/2" belt easily and securely. Definitely happy at this point and I will update this review in a few months time.

I bought one of these to attached to the inside my backpack so that I could tether items of high value that I didn't want to risk losing on my walks and it does a perfect job. I have since bought another two of these for other members of my family. My young daughter uses one to attach her house key to the inside of her school bag. One of the chains is long enough to allow her to open the front door without having to unhook the key from her bag, which she finds is very convenient.

Interesting product! The belt attachment is far more elaborate than I expected but substantial and well designed. That part is stainless steel with a nice little Victorinox badge. The chain, rings and spring attachment for the knife are plated steel, so eventually, if used everyday I can see the plating wearing through and allowing rust. Not impressed with that. Although I suppose they could be replaced with SS parts as they aren't special designs unique to Victorinox.Overall, the chain is a good length, construction is substantial, it will keep your knife safe and it's convenient to use.
