5 Stars Swiss card lite ruby
Great product - tools very useful and handy - fits well in a purse or pocket. Geat for a unique gift.

3 Stars Wallet sized, but not for the wallet
I had one of these a relatively short while ago. I bought it up in Boston, and it seemed like a good investment. It is cheap, and has a lot of useful things on it. I kept it in my wallet because it seemed like a convenient place for it. It worked perfectly for the first two months or so, but then I started having issues. Behind the edge with the ruler, there is a seam. Because I had my wallet in my back pocket (like most people), the seam started to break, and the plastic cracked. This worsened over a month or so, and then the tweezers and the toothpick got stuck inside, and the only way to get them out was to crack it open. I closed it up with Krazy glue and some duct tape, and went on with my life.

The little knife is pretty crappy, but comes sharp. It shouldn’t be used for much more than opening letters and cutting light plastic.

It is a great thought in general, but I recently switched over to the Tool Logic equivalent, and I much prefer it.

4 Stars A Swiss Army knife in a credit card
I’ve been a fan of Swiss Army knives for many years, but lately I have not been carrying one around in my pocket. I saw this one at a business I was visiting and said I need one of those. That night I found them on Amazon and ordered one. It fits perfectly in your billfold, it is credit card size. Do not try to take it through a metal detector because it will set it off. It is a well made product, as are all Swiss Army products.

5 Stars Exactly as expected
I purchased this item for my wife to replace a similar one she had lost after having it for years. She absolutely LOVES this new Swisscard! She used the tools it holds almost daily and it fits so easily in her purse that she’s never without it. I highly recommend this item for any woman out there. I don’t know that this item would hold up well in a jean pocket, and it’s likely too thick to fit easily in a wallet.

5 Stars functional gift for friends
ideal for gift to friends. it is compact and has useful functions. very clever gizmo…

    5 Stars Great Sandals
    Just as advertised. Great fit. I’ve been wearing them everyday since I’ve taken them out of the box.

    3 Stars Sizing isn’t consistent
    Newport H2 Full Sandal -Mens

    I recently purchased my second pair of Keen newport sandals. The first pair I got were awesome right out the box. I wear them all the time. So I decided to purchase a second pair. Same size different color. They don’t even feel close to the other ones. I’m wearing a pair of socks with them trying to get them broken in. Seems that Keen is not consistent with their sizing. Hope they start feeling good soon or they’ll end up in my wife’s annual yard sale.

    5 Stars Very Pleased!
    Bought this for the “urban jungle” of NYC. I’ve been wearing them almost every day for the past month and they are very comfortable. They seem to be well made and are holding up well. I’m very pleased with the purchase and would recommend them.

    5 Stars Outstanding Performer
    I have had my H2 sandals for over 3 years, and have put well over 1K miles on mine. Around town, in the water, and on the trail. They have not worn out or fallen apart, or lost color. I did have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seams on the fabric where the side panels meet the sole, maybe 100 miles ago, but after 1K miles, I guess a little seam repair is more than reasonable. I just bought another pair, on sale, but they are still in the box cause the old ones are still going strong.

    4 Stars Newport H2
    A lot of people say it feels a half size too small but I think it feels true to

    both size and width. I received these shoes and was pleased to find that there

    isn’t any break-in time. I have a job where I walk around for 8 hours straight;

    I wore these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day.

    There is an adjustable elastic cord that can be tightened, but I think the shoes

    are more comfortable if they are left a little loose. I had them tightened one

    day and noticed a pinching sensation after a couple hours of use. Another reason

    to wear them loose is that it makes it easier to put them back on if your feet

    are wet or sweaty

    They feel like they have very good traction but I’m not walking through rivers

    with slippery rocks so it isn’t the best test.

    Because these are closed-toe sandals, it creates a problem when small rocks,

    sand, or other objects get into the shoe. I found that I can’t just wiggle my

    foot around to get rid of the nuisance, I need to take the shoe completely off

    and dump it out. Another thing I noticed about these shoes is that it dried out

    the back of my heels. I only had to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and

    I have not had a problem since, but it is something to be aware of.

    Overall this is a great sandal and I don’t have to worry about sticks or other

    objects stabbing my toes because of the closed-toe feature. I have owned these

    for about a month now and they don’t show any signs of wear so I expect them to

    hold up for a long time. I would not recommend them for walking around on the

    beach because sand and rocks get trapped underneath your feet and up in the toe

    area, but for walking through rivers and as a casual shoe these are great. One

    last problem that I just thought of is that they aren’t comfortable for standing around with minimal movement for long periods of time. It’s possibly just my feet, but anyone interested in these should try them on and stand around for a while to see how they feel.
