Sometimes less is more, and that rings especially true when you’re trying to minimize the gear you carry or when you’re trying to free up pocket space for other gear. Victorinox is well aware of that principle, so they made a Swiss Army Knife for when you need to carry just the essentials. Measuring in at 84mm and weighing 1 ounce, the Bantam Alox is one of the most pocketable Swiss Army Knives you can EDC.
It comes with 5 critical tools that you will probably make use of wherever you go. It features a large, sharp blade for general cutting, slicing and piercing tasks, a can opener and a bottle opener for food prep, a wire stripper for a quick electrical job and a flathead screwdriver, for tinkering and small repairs. Despite being this minimal, you’ll still get the same quality construction that Victorinox offers in embossed aluminum scales with anodic oxidation that will make it last for years to come. You can pick one up at the link below.
