So correct on all counts. I've been carrying Swiss Army knives since about 1969, but since 1997 the classic has been my daily go-to. I still have a couple larger models, but they live in the glove box of my car or daypack. In an urban/suburban environment, the classic does all you need to do with a daily carry pocket knife. I've used the SD tip on Phillips screws with good results, as well as opening imported beer bottles. I use the SD tip to slid under the edge of cap and twist gently so the cap material bends out. Do that a couple times around the cap and you can push it off with your thumb. The Phillips capable SD tip also let me fix a Vespa motor scooter out on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, and a trolling motor on a canoe. Its adjusted gun sights, and adjusted door lock assemblies. The knife blade has opened uncounted plastic packages and Amazon boxes. Everyone should have this little SAK on their keyring. I used to be a knife nut, but as I entered middle age, I sold off and gave away my knife collection and just kept my few Swiss Army knives. The classic has been my real world EDC since the mid 1990's and hasn't let me down yet. It IS like a Toyota Corolla! My last Corolla went 26 years and 293,000 miles. No major problems until the end, and it was just worn out. My current 2019 Corolla has 56,000 and some change with zero problems. Swiss Army knives and Toyota's are what I swear by. Neither will let you down.
I'm 70 years old and I've carried one since the 6th grade. I own several though years mostly because I've given them away or lost them. I currently own three one with my cigar tools, one for EDC and one in my bushcraft gear! They are damn near indispensable!
I love knives and have a decent sized collection. But this video reminded me (almost embarrassingly so) that my MOST USED knife is actually a SOG that looks like a key, and a small knife folds out. As you'd expect, it's on my keyring and it's always there when I need it. So yeah, these tiny knives are invaluable.
A few years ago I bought a Case 2nd cut stag Jack and the seller sent me a blue Classic SD as a gift. It was my first taste of a Victorinox. Now it or one of my several Cadets always back up my main EDC folder.
A great little knife, but I own the Rambler as I love the additional magnetic Phillips driver/bottle opener/wire stripper tool. Unfortunately the Rambler is much more expensive than the Classic and hard to find outside the Victorinox store.
Just bought one with translucent pink scales. I plan on getting the Tortise Gear Firefly to have as a fire starting option. Might even get a leather pouch for my Classic SD. And Titan cord for a lanyard.
I have a yellow classic Sd just like that which was in my grandfather's pocket when he died, it was his preferred knife and he'd use 'em up then just buy another for $10. I own 5 Vic classics now, and one was my very first pocket knife. I carry a classic in my pocket organizer pretty much just for the scissors these days though. Theres just something about it that keeps me from seeing it as a pocket knife. It's not the blade length though, one of my favorite pocket knives is the Buck 305 lancer which is not much bigger. I think it's the narrow blade offset in the much wider handle that does it for me, it just doesn't scream pocket knife to me.
“Chances are you’ve already got this knife” Me: I don’t “If not I’ll almost guarantee you know somebody who does” Me: I do, because I bought it for them. And now I wish I had gotten one for myself, too, which is why I am watching this video. BTW, nice color choice with the blue lanyard attached. I didn’t think I liked the yellow until now. I’m gonna get me one or six of these. LOL!
No, buy the Victorinox Rambler. Yes, it's unreasonably more expensive, but it has the extra multitool. And most of all, the key ring at the correct side: the knive opens away from the key ring.
In my opinion the Classic is a totally missed opportunity to be a great keychain tool. First, instead of the file, they should have used a slimmed down version of the combo tool....can, bottle, screwdriver tool. Secondly, the blade could be a smigine wider.

You prefer the classic SD version? Or a different one?

Found one of these under a register stand while buying lunch around 2003, it's never left the change pocket in any of the pants I've worn since.
Same model? I’m surprised they haven’t altered the model to change anything on it like the file. I don’t really know why that’s on there to be honest.
You should get the Victorinox Rambler and then you can "Ramble about the Rambler."

If your making a Altoids tin survival kit this knife is a must!
