The SwissCard

10.04.2020

Smart card!

I have had this Swisscard with me for a good time and the Swisscard is perfect to carry for almost everyone. In today’s world we have important laws and regulations regarding what is legal to carry. From the people I have talked with the Swisscard is regarded harmless. Even so it is up to you to decide.

I will write a few words about how useful it is. If you carry it in a wallet it is smart to have it inside a folder protected from coins and too much bending. I have tested it in a wallet for a year and no problems there as you see. Many times if you open a box or package with the hands you have to use brute force with the result that things comes flying everywhere. With this little blade big things can be opened nice and easy. The scissors can be very useful to cut a thread with comfort. Even today a pen is required when you write a message on a package or writing a note. Today people use smart phones but it cannot write a signature or message on paper. The tweezers can remove a splinter or to pick out something lost between materials or objects. The nail-file with the screwdriver tip can be a relief when you have to fix a fingernail or to adjust a little device. The functions I mentioned do not represent all the functions. On the picture you can see that it contains more nice things. Today the selection of Swisscards got many models. Models with magnifier and a small LED light too.

It would take all day to write about what the functions can be used for. The scissors cut paper with precision so it is up to the user and imagination.

I did not store this in a separate folder. I just used one of the folding compartments in the wallet. It is in perfect shape. In the outdoors one can carry or use almost any knives and tools. In public places it is very different because you need a reason. I know that people that use a suit need or carry the card format Victorinox solutions. In many ways these helpers represents the difference in the everyday life for people. I cannot say it is legal but as mentioned the people I have talked with have these as harmless, unless you take it out at bar or use it improperly.

I have gathered some information on the durability on them and seen used cards and so forth. If people use some care they can last for many years of use. They are absolutely quality made. It was introduced in 1997 according to my information. On them the sliding lid could be the weak part. I have seen used ones with missing lid, Victorinox changed this design. I know that many people use the sliding lid models with good result. Not sure if this is to be found in the production anymore. The new open design that’s been around for a good time is better and it is secure.

The 58mm Classic SD is a little knife that can be very helpful. They are so small that they disappear in a pocket. Some use them with the keys. The scissors are very functional. The SwissCard and the Classic categories are not just for show. They are very functional. Not to forget very cool looking.

This is my latest 58mm. It is in very nice used condition.

The 58mm Classic with screwdriver tip is small but for sure very relieving to have if no other tools are available.
