Rambler
Victorinox, the only manufacturer of Swiss Army knives, makes them in three sizes: small, medium, and large. The standard issue army knives fall into the large category. This article is a review of the Rambler, a knife so small it counts itself among the smallest of the knives within the small category. At only 5.8 cm in length, it’s about half the length of the standard 11.1 cm army knife. And at 29 grams, it’s probably light enough to comfortably fit in your keychain.

Tools
- Key ring: It’s a small key ring. Nothing fancy.
- Toothpick: A small piece of plastic that is fairly bendy, and mine came a little crooked. I don’t use toothpicks, but I assume this would do just fine in a pinch.
- Tweezers: Not exactly the strongest tweezers, but they work.
- Small blade: For anything I do day to day, this small 2 inch blade will do just fine.
- Bottle opener: They say the best bottle opener is the one you always carry. This tool is a lifesaver, but not the easiest to use. It takes a bit of wrangling to get a bottle cap off with this.
- Wire stripper: I have never used this, but I’m sure it’s fine.
- Phillips screwdriver 0/1, magnetic: This will only really work with smaller Phillips screws, but that’s understandable.
- Nail file: Smaller than your usual nail file.
- Screwdriver 2.5 mm: Nothing much you can say about this.
- Scissors: For its size, it works well. I’m not worried about it breaking anytime soon.
