I would like to give my grandson a pocket knife. He will be 11 - which one would you recommend?

I got this exact same knife (Victorinox Tinker, with the scissors and the Philips screwdriver) when I turned 11 and became a Boy Scout. It's 35 years later, and I still carry it every day. Fantastic knife, and the perfect combination of tools.

does the knife come with a small hole for a straight pen under the phillips screwdriver tool?

Depends. Most older ones (mid 90s? and before) don't. All new 91mm SAKs since then do, I have two old SAKs (both two different models of the Craftsman--one from the '70s, another from late '80s). Pen hole--no that only comes on a few Plus scaled models (SwissChamp, Champion, Compact (also the Climber had them at one time), and the occasional dealer who puts them on, not counting used knives that were upgraded to Plus scales).

Does the large blade have the words "swiss made" at the base?

On one side, the large blade has "Victorinox Swiss Made Stainless" and on the other side it has "Officier Suisse".

do the knives click into place?

Maybe. The blades and tools do click as the open, but they don't click into place like something actually locking. So, short version; they click from being under tension, but not from any mechanical system to latch things in place.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT & PRACTICAL A ZILLION STARS!!!!!

Perfectly practical! My other SAK is the biggest one with everything but the kitchen sink...I have had that one an incredible 40 years...and it is still in good condition. That one is however a little bit bulky in my jeans pocket. So happy to get this model for it lightweight but very practical array of tools. Fit and finish is flawless and all springs have a respectable snap for retention. Mirror polished tools and accessories. Scales are immaculate. Priced right and sized to fit comfortably in the front pocket of your jeans without any bulging or sagging. I own several multi-tools, and this one is a very nice and welcome addition to my collection. It has every practical tool and accessory that I use with any frequency except for pliers. This one is definitely a keeper!

Calidad y gran equilibrio en funciones, peso, tamaño y precio

La Super Tinker se diferencia de la Tinker convencional al incluir tijeras y un gancho multiusos. Lo que más uson son las tijeras y el desarmador Phillips. Saca de muchos apuros. Es práctica y cómoda. Cabe bien en el bolsillo sin hacer bulto ni pesar. Equilibrio perfecto entre precio, funcionalidad, volumen y peso. Excelente calidad: hecha en Suiza con acero de primera, perfectamente afilada y lubricada. Gran compra.
