Victorinox uses a proprietary steel, which I hear good things about does seem to me to be a very good steel. That said, I'm still not a fan of Victorinox blades for much beyond letter opening because of their size & geometry. As others have said, if you want a knife, there are WAY better knives. If you want a bunch of tools, okay. Still partial to Leatherman myself, as much as I like the Swiss Army aesthetic.

i carry a knife but also a thin victorinox money clip. the scissors in it hold their edge very well and are extremely handy. the knife in the clip is also quite good, especially in situations where pulling out the more serious 3.4" blade is inappropriate. https://www.gpknives.com/victorinox-money-clip-red.html https://www.gpknives.com/victorinox-money-clip-red.html i also have a victorinox Fieldmaster multi-tool, but the knife in it does not get a lot of use since i cannot EDC the thing due to its heft. i've used the saw in it multiple times and that thing is fantastic.

  Oh that money clip is pretty cool. I would probably go for that if I carried cash much - but I pretty much just use cards now. >> i cannot EDC the thing due to its heft Ha ha! I EDC'd a WorkChamp for a long time. Super handy. Not that comfortable!

    > I would probably go for that if I carried cash much - but I pretty much just use cards now. i don't use it for cash, either. but it's extremely thin and is comfortable in the jeans front mini-pocket. much lower profile and no cheap plastic compared to their standard keychain knife: https://www.rei.com/product/403028/swiss-army-classic-knife https://www.rei.com/product/403028/swiss-army-classic-knife the clip portion of it goes high enough on the frame where you could use it as a pocket clip, with ~0.3" protruding upwards.
