4.0 out of 5 stars Great Football, January 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Wilson TDS Composite High School Game Ball Football (Sports)
This is a very nice, but typical Wilson composite football. The size is intended for High School age kids and is made very well and is intended to last a long time with heavy abuse. I really like the Wilson college footballs, and this is built the same, just a bit smaller. My one small negative, I love the look of this ball, it feels solid, has good grip (for composite) and throws really well, but the one thing that gets me... put a sticker on the ball with the barcode and other useless junk... don't burn this in to the ball itself... you take an awesome looking ball with the classic Wilson logo, add TDS and then mess it up with useless junk... Like I said it's just a small negative and more of a personal preference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing quality from Wilson, January 9, 2009
This review is from: Wilson TDS Composite High School Game Ball Football (Sports)
We ordered two of these supposedly better-quality game balls. On both of the balls, the leather was cut so poorly under the lacing that the lacing itself was crooked. The leather sat-up off the bladder creating what would appear to be air pockets or pimples under the leather. This condition was particularly bad on the stitching under the lacing. On one of the balls, other stitching aside from those under the lacing was also bad, and this area, too, had small bubble-like pimples. This ball would not even hold air.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good knife, but I still like the original Climber more, August 25, 2006
By 
Carlos Wesley (Princeton, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victorinox Climber II Knife (Sports)
I like this knife. It's a more affordable version than the original Swiss Army Climber which is one of my favorite knives out there.

All of the tools on this knife are good. The knife is sturdy and sharp. I've gotten good use out of the bottle opener and the scissors. Corkscrew is helpful, as well.

Is it as nice as the original Climber Economy? No. It's got a plastic or nylon handle which makes it lighter but less cool in my opinion. But is it worth $15? Definitely

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Basics, August 3, 2009
By 
This review is from: Victorinox Climber II Knife (Sports)
I had to order this to replace the identical knife that I have owned for 7 years: airport security had to confiscate and destroy it when I accidentally left it in my laptop bag.

The Climber II knife is the knife I carry with me every day: even in the office, it always comes in handy. The can opener has a knack for staying sharp, the scissors often trim stray threads, and the long blade is just the thing for peeling a piece of fruit at lunch. I've also used the leather punch to add holes to my belt (thank you, regular exercise!), the corkscrew easily opens a wine bottle, and the bottle opener and screwdrivers get regular use. What's impressed me the most is the durability of the Victorinox steel: I've put all sorts of stress and leverage on the parts and have yet to break one, even prying loose the lid of an old stuck paint can.

Some quick tips for you:

1) Periodically clean out your knife: carefully open all parts, blow dust out, clean... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond the Basics, November 3, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Victorinox Climber II Knife (Sports)
This version of the fabled Swiss Army knife adds a number of useful tools to the basic portfolio of large blade, can opener, bottle opener and awl. With this substantial (yet still pocketable) knife, we now have an additional small blade (GREAT for opening packages), a small pair of scissors, tiny tweezers, a toothpick (how sanitary!) and a corkscrew (a lifesaver for forgetful picnic-ers). The matte finish red plastic grips offer a secure hold.

While this knife is a bit heavy for everyday toting, it's a welcome companion on a hike. Durable and sturdily constructed, I give it a thumbs up.

By 
Derrik Mantel (Maplewood, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife (Sports)
I really like all the features of this Swiss Army Knife. It was affordable and really has a lot of useful tools. Some tools not mentioned above packed into this knife include:

Needle (near the corkscrew)
Micro Small Screwdriver within the corkscrew
metal saw
wood saw

These things come in really handy in the tackle box or glove compartment in the car. They also really work well hiking/backpacking/camping or unpacking or whenever a quicktool is needed.

A great knife at a great value with a great warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars More useful then you may imagine, December 27, 2007
By 
Jose Sanchez (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife (Sports)
The Victorinox Swiss Champ Plus is a very well designed multi-tool. The more you carry it, the more it will endear itself to you by proving it's worth in the field as well as in the workplace or at home. At first glance some of the tools may seem superfluous, but in the long run you may very well use some of these tools even though you originally never imagined yourself being in a position that requires them. Fit and finish are first rate, as is always the case with Victorinox products. It amazes me that Victorinox is able to offer this tool at such a fantastic price while still manufacturing in Switzerland.

This tool is basically the same as the Victorinox Swiss Champ, minus the pliers. Losing the pliers gives you a tool with a considerably smaller profile which is therefore more pocketable, and as such I consider this more of a trade-off then a negative. If you plan to carry in a toolbox or glove compartment, you might very well choose the regular 'Victorinox Champ',... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the botanist/biologist as well as the handyperson, December 7, 2005
By 
Jane Healy "repto" (Blue Island, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Champion Plus Pocket Knife (Sports)
I like this particular Swiss army knife because it has a bit more than the standard knife. As a botanist and biology teacher, the hand lens has been used many a time to examine detail on a moss or beetle. The saw is great for camping, as well as collecting specimens. Additionally, you have all the basic handy gadgets you need on a knife: screwdrivers, scissors, nail file, tweezers, etc, as well as your basic, essential knife blade. I've had one of these for over 25 years, and have used it on five continents and for a hundred picnics. My only complaint is that as a lefty, food/muck can get lodged in the grooves of the handle when you use the blade (e.g. cheese, bread crumbs, etc). I use the toothpick to clean it up, but a hassle nonetheless.
