I got this out of curiosity, more as desk fiddle toy than anything else, and to see what the mini pliers at this size felt like in the hand (not bad at all, although they obviously aren't going to win over anyone who's used a pair of Knipex mini pliers or a full sized multi tool). Swiss Eagle might possibly assemble in Switzerland, it's difficult to find any real info online, but as a brand they only seem to exist to closely copy household name products including some dubious reuses of product photos. At less than a third of the price of a Victorinox SwissChamp I think it's fair to say you get what you pay for, which is something that can be sacrified without too much concern.The rest of the tools, like the pliers, feel fairly robust and decently machined with no rogue sharp exterior edges. It's definitely better than some of the knock off Swiss Army knives I've come across, provided you have reasonable expectations and accept that you may want to sharpen or file certain edges. Some of the tool layers have a bit of sideways flex that you'd never get with an official knife, apparently due to backsprings that don't exactly match the tools, and I assume the steel is nothing special. It's unfortunate that this includes the opener layer since a large flathead screwdriver tends to be used by people for prying things. Tools such as the saw and file aren't quite aligned well enough to return to position without being slightly guided into place, which I think is because on a real SAK the small flathead screwdrivers would be thicker and e.g. the saw would have a hilt that's wider than the cutting edge.To be fair the parts aren't super thin, but are definitely a fraction thinner than cellidor scale SAKs and much less solid than those on alox models. Roughly 30mm including scales versus 33mm quoted by SAKWiki. I'd fully expect the corkscrew to snap off if used to open a bottle of wine because the base isn't quite as reinforced, for example, but it'd probably do for helping to unpick knots. Various other points are that the awl isn't sharpened, the tweezers are fully metal, the toothpick is strangely small and the glasses screwdriver has thinner spiral (either there's a patent that's still valid on the real ones or the factory has used a different manufacturing process to get a tiny driver into a plastic surround) although unlike some other reviewers elsewhere there were no problems with nail nicks or stiffness. The magnifier has a very small usable area, but works to some extent and is in a metal surround.As a kid I'd have been delighted with this. As an adult with various real SAKs (Swiss Army is a trademark in this context, not just a generic term, and Victorinox knives are very well-made) plus other multi-tools, this would only be a choice of carry where it's be likely to be lost and where not much is at stake in terms of needing something reliable. Or as a curiosity and desk toy.

Lots of different tools which is good but the small screwdriver fell apart on first use (it could be because I am used to a Swiss army knife that I expected too much)

It seems I’m the first to write a review, rest assured I write as I see and find. First of all there is no Compass, second of all the discount for purchasing two items was not applied!Now I have the original Swiss Army knife and this is a very good copy, side by side you would be hard pushed to spot the difference.. I’ve had my SA knife for twenty years or more and it’s served me well and is still as good as new. So I bought two of the Swiss Eagle knives as gifts… There are three areas that the SE falls short of the SA knife accessories, the plastic toothpick is flimsy, the tweezers are easily bent and the screw in micro screwdriver is not as sturdy.. Comparing the weight of the two I would suggest the SE comes in ever so slightly heavier.Other than that I believe the SE knife represents very good value and I would recommend for self use or as a gift that should last a long time and give good service.

Very poor build quality, there is too much play between the tools and the first time i took out the magnifying glass the lens fell out. I have a few swiss army knives but this just doesnt stand up to the quality. You get what you pay for. My advice is save your money for a proper swiss army knife where you know quality is guaranteed.

This item is very well made and excellent value for money.It feels nice and weighty and looks very attractive. It has an impressive amount of tools and seems very sturdy.
