The knife is pocket sized. I bought it because I Had to fly to Minnesota and was going to be there for a few days without a knife. I went to the Target looking for cheap Swiss Army knife, assuming it was going to be left at the Hotel. After seeing the prices, I decided I grab this one for $10. It came it real handy. Turns out the post office was a block from the Hotel so the morning of my flighht, I decided I'd spend another $3 and I mailed the knife home!
