An excellent pocketknife, but you'll miss the screw-driver.. Sep 26, 2001
By Steven Dennis
This classic Swiss Army knife will serve you well -- I've had mine for going on 10 years. However, this model does not have a Phillips-head screwdriver function, which I find extremely useful. If you can deal with that missing element, I'd say, buy away!
Enjoy!

A classic. Perfect for the urban backpacker. Dec 01, 2005
By John Truslow
I purchased my Climber in 1991 and have enjoyed every minute of it. It was - and is still, as far as I can tell - the most compact Swiss Army knife with both the scissors and the corkscrew, the two attachments I felt were the most useful (to me, an urban backpacker at the time) after the two basic knives. I have given The Climber as a gift many times, with great success. The Climber is amazingly sharp, strong, and helpful. I love it.

Nice clasical Sep 30, 2005
By GiriGiri
I've had my Climber knife for almost 14 years now, and it is as good and shiny as new. (And I bought it from Switzerland, not that this would make any difference).
Lost the tweezer, and just ordered a replacement, so that my Climber is "whole" again.
Very nice and faithfull tool!

Nice piece Jan 18, 2006
By N. Ninan
Great, handy tool that I use around at the house for almost everything. I do wish there was a philips screwdriver along with, but I think I'll just het another model that has one. This scores big with me because it has most of the essential tools and is compact at the same time. Definitely worth the buy.

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Climber Jul 21, 2009
By Flying Woods
This is a great multi-purpose tool. I did a lot of research looking for a Swiss army knife that would best suit my hiking/camping needs. So far the Climber has proven to be a very good choice. I've used this on two or three camping trips and keep it inside of my car glovebox outside of that. I've had the tool for about 6 months now. Below I will break down the advantages of each individual part.
Can opener - Use this a couple of times each camping trip. Pretty handy to have when camping rather than some either bulky or hard to find addition to all of your other items.
Reamer - I've found this very useful for getting loose extremely tight knots that you wished you'd left some slack on, or even shoelaces that knot too tightly.
Cork screw - Works great. I've used it several times now and plan on using it much, much more. (Cheers) I think this is a good sacrifice over the screwdriver!
Scissors - Very nice to have, good for cutting nails/coupons. Nice to have on hand in the car.
Bottle opener - Does its job.
(Attached to Bottle opener) Wire stripper - Haven't used (or really plan on using).
(Attached to Bottle opener and Can opener) Flathead screwdrivers, haven't used these yet but figure they may come in handy one day.
Tweezers - Haven't used these yet either.
Hook - Very nice for pulling out smaller, metal tent pegs.. although, my tent situation has recently been upgraded to the larger plastic ones (too bad).
Toothpick - Nice to have if you've been eating corn on the cob!
Blades (Large and small) - These are great! Very sharp and retain their edge pretty well, too.
Overall, I would say that I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
