Great pocket tool
This is a great pocket knife/tool for its size and price. It has all the tools I need for most small jobs or just tinkering around. Excellent quality and design.

Good for what it is.
One of the better small/pocket multitools, for sure. I already carry around a full size Leatherman Charge TTi everyday, so I was looking for something more focused on, say, trimming my nails and peeling an orange, than, you know, building a civilization. In that regard, the MiniChamp is quite nice. You can see the list of tools here, and they all work as expected (and it's very well made, with the typical Victorinox quality control) so I will focus on a few very minor design quibbles I have. This would've been five stars but I had to knock one off for the following reasons:1) There is a separate ruler/flathead screwdriver and nailfile. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see how these could have been combined into one tool.2) You get two very similar blades. I'd rather have just one, that is a little bigger (the size of the nailfile.)3) Cuticle pusher? Seriously?

Great, All-Purpose Knife
This is a great, all-around pocket knife that I've owned for about three years. Of the many Victorinox knives I've owned, from the smallest to the largest, I still keep the Swiss Champ in my computer/commuter pack, but this smaller Champ is by far the best one I've owned. Not because it can do everything, but because it has a good suite of tools and functionality in a small package. It's the one that I'm most likely to have with me all the time.The small Philips is great for computers and around the office and the ball-point pen is useful in a pinch, though one wouldn't write more than a few sentences with it. One of the tools not listed is a cuticle-pusher. This is NOT a knife that I'd use in the woods or camping, but for a tag-along in a pair of slacks, it's perfect.Living in a pocket it can get dirty and linty, but that's easily remedied with some warm, soapy water and a toothbrush.
