Cool tools, but too wide May 7, 2009

I've had the Wenger Tool Chest Plus for over a year now. The blade is sharp, and the tools are well selected. This really is a useful knife.
This knife compares competitively with the Victorinox Swiss Champ, almost tool for tool. However, the Tool Chest Plus has some tools which the Swiss Champ does not have, including a working compass, a wrench for nuts and bolts 8mm or smaller, and a nail file (instead of a small blade), and the magnifying glass has a real glass lense. The scissors and pliers are also different, and arguably better, since they use Wenger's springless system and the scissors are self sharpening--very cool, you should check the springless system out! Adding to the cool factor, the pliers have a slip joint, just like the pliers in your toolbox.
Now for what I don't like about it. These are small things, but they detract from the perceived quality of the knife. The back springs aren't as strong, so the tools don't snap shut the same way as a Victorinox knife, I miss the pleasing *click*. Also, the Wenger knife doesn't have quite the same look of precision about it. The square edges aren't quite as square. Finally, this knife is wider than the Victorinox. That might be a plus or a minus, depending on whether bigger is better for its own sake. I found it a little too wide when doing some tough cutting, but for everyday stuff it's great.
