Looking for nice (small) pen knife w/ scissors

[kodiak]

My wife is buying me anything I want ($100.00 or less) for our anniversary! I bought her a $100.00 gift certificate to Sephora. I would like a nice small pen knife with sissors. I've seen the Case Peanut, very nice, are there other ones around?

Victorinox makes the Classic model in sterling silver. You can get them with a few different patterns in the silver.

Looks like there are a few here: http://www.knivesplus.com/VICTORINOX-KNIVES-CLASSIC-SD.HTML

Around 60 bucks or so.

Another vote for the Classic.

3rd vote for a classic from Victorinox. Especially the silver, or alox ones.

Cheap, but still very high quality.

Edited to add: Victorinox fit and finish is better then Case usually, and the Victorinox stainless steel is better as well.

I've carried a Victorinox Classic for over 20 years (well, lost two, but had the current one for ~ 10 years). It's a great little pen knife. Their newest model is slightly thicker, but it comes with a USB mini-drive! Depending on my job, this might be a handy little gadget.

I picked up a neat model called the Rambler, same as the Classic but comes with a very handy mini magnetized Phillips screwdiver/bottle opener blade. Very cool, and a godsend on keychain. I wish it came with scale options though, stag scales would be awesome!!

AG Russell has one, I believe by Victronix, in sterling with a panther on the scales.

Another vote for the Victornox. I got mine at Target for around 6-7 dollars. I keep it in my car for splinters, hangnails and general fingernail maintenance. It is a very nice little knife.

The Victorinox Classic has been suggested by numerous people.

Of course in its basic Cellidor/plastic handled form it can be had as low as $9 (at places like WalMart and Target - which only goes to show what good value these are) - the transulcent handled versions can be very attractive.......

But to go upmarket and more luxurious - also suggested are the Sterling silver versions -

I like the looks of the hammered finish:

The sterling versions are also available in polished, swirl, barleycorn, and basketweave. If you shop around (use froogle.com) I've seen the sterling versions for as low as $53.......

The Classics are 2 1/4" length closed - compared to the Case small pen knives with scissors at 2 5/8"


Edit: I didn't see the Case Peanut with scissors on the WR Case web site - but there are still many vendor listings - the Peanut with scissors is 2 7/8" and in mother-of-pearl it is very nice looking (I've seen prices as low as $90+)

Thanks for all of your input. I endded up getting a Victorinox Swiss Army Broker, Stainless Steel. It's small and thin, just what I wanted. It also has a small rectangle to engrave somthing if desired! I like that Case Peanut, but it's to big for what I wanted it for.

Anything Victorinox is good.
