I carry the nail care version of this card in place of my Compact Victoronix Swiss Army knife when I fly. I have my Rovyvon A8 flash light so I don’t need the lite and the knife is replaced by a rounded tip glass nail file which is allowed by TSA. Also, holding the scissors partway open works well for opening boxes.
Thank you Mark for adding EDC items in your reviews. Your humble, down to earth, and smart approach to men's item is a fresh and important one. Edc community can and often is a snobby and excessive one. I believe your edc reviews will give younger men like me great insights to important thing to carry to protect and help our important ones.
Love the additional content beyond wallets! Your reviews are always thorough and presented well. I'm personally hoping to see some key organizers in the future, I've currently got the basic keysmart but have been looking at the Bellroy key cover recently.
I have the SwissCard lite model , I improved it by slipping four neodymium magnets into the empty finger ring of scissor , it can be used to magnetize a pin to make a compass ...
I've had a Swisscard Classic for as long as they've been available. I also have a Gerber Dime, Leatherman Squirt and Gerber Suspension. If I had to pick the tool I use the most, it's the Swisscard. I use it every single day and it's 4 credit cards thick. When I'm carrying my Open Sea leather wallets, it fits easily. Without doubt, one of the most amazing pieces of EDC ever made.
Great video Mark. I'm a big multi tool fan and I've bought a few that have turned out to be disappointing. I'd love to see more videos like this and maybe I'll find the multi tool I've been waiting for
Hey Autumn, thanks for the comment. I've been collecting a number of multitools for a top 10 video and I'm always interested in the lesser known one's out there. Can you give me an idea of anything you think is unique or generally not widely known?
@@walletopia Thanks Mark. I've backed something called the Pathfinder on Kickstarter which I hope will be really useful. My daily driver for quite some time now though has been a small Swiss Army Knife with the knife, nail file, Philips screwdriver/bottle opener, scissors and letter opener with a couple of other things I don't really use. It has a pen so only one slot for the toothpick or tweezers, so I have to chop and change the one I think I'll need at any time. For the size it's pretty powerful.
I’ve been carrying a Swiss Card Classic daily for over 2 years now and I love it. I use a Lost Dutchman Finnigan so it fits nicely in the one roomy compartment together with 6 cards and folded cash. It amazes me just how many times the little tools end up being useful in a pinch.
I carry a SMK Rambler on my keychain, and the blade, nail file, scissors and toothpick are the my must haves. You can get these features cheaper in a Classic, but the Rambler gives you a small Phillips screwdriver (which I have only used occasionally); and a bottle cap lifter (which is very small, and I have never used). With the Swiss Card you can always cut your nails with the scissors, but there are times when using a nail file is the better solution for a ragged nail.
I have had this exact card in my wallet for a few years, for daily city usage I would recommend it, it isn't for survival or camping,etc it is for when you're out and about and you need a pen, blade, scissors etc. I find having the magnifier very handy reading small print/instructions, the blade and scissors are sharp and I find to be good quality that you would expect from Victorinox but they have their purpose and there are things they might not be able to cut through but most things you would run into in a city environment I think they should get through. The tool I think they should remove is the light I think a nail clipper or file would be better as the light is pretty weak.
The only time I'm not carrying at least one knife is when I'm not allowed to carry a knife, so the included blade in these cards will always be redundant, or a liability (something to forget about until I'm getting tackled to the ground). That's why I choose the Nailcare, and a small Rovyvon flashlight to supplement the lack of a flashlight in the Nailcare.
Cool, I didn’t know there were wallet multi-tools. I’d definitely be interested in learning more about them even though I already carry a leatherman multi-tool.
BTW - Victorinox has partnered with Secrid to integrate the Swiss Card into a hard shell push button wallet with a cash band. It's called the Smart Wallet.
Nail care variant for me (alongside a Swisstool and Maglite) after carrying the OG Swisscard for years. I also have a keychain Victorinox Signature with retractable pen on my... well... keychain. I'm just a Victorinox kinda gal.
I wish it had a way to open bottles... so...this goes with my LeverGear multitool card in My VaultSkin Nottingham. Btw, you can insert the handle of the miniature blade in its holding slot if you need a better handle.
Nice video...The one tool that would make this a perfect multitool card would be a bottle opener. I actually tried the multi screwdriver portion of the card to see if it could function as a bottle opener with no success.
That one feature would likely require this to be more metal than plastic. Not a bad way to go, but they figure the bar will open it for you or a table edge can do it 😂
For light, honestly with most phone, I don't think it is needed. For travelling I would remove knife and scissor, due to airport security. For pin, i am not sure whether it is can be used for sim replacement, if it can not it needs the sim replacement tool or at least small paperclip. I would also prefer to have slot for simcard and microsd, or even sdcard. Tweezer is very good idea there. Pen is useful in a pinch, but not sure on how useful is that writing that form during the flight given the size and I usually use thin neck pouch to hold passport and those long plane tickets, with full size pen there.
To me, a multi tools supplement a pocket knife, so I don’t really use the compromise knife blade. I’d rather see a nail file in place of the knife. I’m also a minimalist wallet user. My Swisscard is going directly in my pocket with a card pocket with medical information and a handkerchief or bandanna, all laying flat.
I wish there was a nail file that could fit into the knife slot so I could fly without thinking about it. Plus the knife is kind of the least useful feature on it for me since you can cut a lot of things with the scissors and the doohickey on my keys and the knife I carry when I'm not getting on a plane are sturdier and more accessible than the swisscard knife.
The Swisscard nailcare has you covered. It has everything all the other Swisscards have other than the torch and useless knife. It’s nail file is also an upgraded glass file in comparison to the normal one from a multitool they use in the other versions. It’s by far the best iteration in my humble opinion. Unless you really want a weak LED torch for some reason.

Excellent, thank you. I carry a Swiss Card in my wallet for 2 years now. Great tool to have when the need arises.
OMGosh yes! I love credit card sized gadgets. More please!

I use the classic. The nail file has a flat head so useful for some small screws. Loose the square flat multi-tool, the magnifying glass and light.
Nail file instead of the blade. Light and magnifier are superceded by better functions on cell phones.
Excellent video, hope more EDC reviews in the future
I noticed the background music at the beginning... The original walletopia Anthem !
Due top several comments wishing for its return, I've been putting it back in 👍

I would be interested in hearing your opinion on various multi tool cards. I carry either the Lever or the MRF 3.0 Universal.
I have a top 10 multi-tools video coming up :)
@@walletopia did you release this video?
Nice Pelagos 42 👊

I'd be interested to see the carry kit you mentioned.
Do you think the hole in the screwdriver is so you can look through it and use it to signal for help???? Just seems like you could do that
Mark, a side question: where is a good place to try and buy Pelican pen? Your pen is timeless classic.
BTW - Victorinox has partnered with Secrid to integrate the Swiss Card into a hard shell push button wallet with a cash band. It's called the Smart Wallet.
Nice, hasn’t heard about this. Looks like an awesome integration. Thanks for the heads up!
Interesting review Mark.....that would never fit in My Stelth Areo wallet though.
I’d want to add a small bottle opener

Check out the Swisscard Nailcare or mods. You can slip in a cardboard file in the knife slot.
Hola. TH-cam no me avisa de los vídeos de ustedes. Muy buenos. Estuve compran billeteras de cuero argentino, muy buenas. Saludos
Rustico wallet looks good
Missing a bottle opener

Really love thèse . 😊
just got one its way way thick... too thick if your wallet is limited on space
My favorite Swiss Army Knife feature is the corkscrew. So what if I've never used it! It's still my favorite.
Sad reality this will break in wallet when you put in the butt pocket of your pants. Mine was turned into jigsaw puzzle..😂
Wonder if they fit into an xsto card holder , thanks for the video.
replace knife with nailphile and just by regular one
LOL. Have a look at what they want for these things on Amazon!!!!!
How can you review this without using the tools?The pin bend easily and the scissor is hard to use.The magnifier get smudged fast.
Use and review it.
“Burn ants”. Yup! Pretty much that’s what it’ll be used for.
😮
Burn ants, whatever 😂
