The Victorinox Compact is a special little Swiss Army Knife (SAK). It offers a lot of useful items in a really small (ie, "compact") package.
tools on the Compact:
- Knife
- Scissors
- Hook with nail file: the nail file is coarse and will aggressively file your nails.
- Combination tool: bottle and can opener, flat screwdriver, wire stripper, wire bender.
- Corkscrew
- Eyeglass screwdriver

- Pressurized pen: this is veryuseful. How often have you needed a pen and one wasn't handy?
- Tweezers
- Toothpick
- Straight Pin

The Victorinox Compact offers the tools you'll need on a daily basis, and it vanishes in your pocket.
