I bought the Midnite MiniChamp four and a half years ago, back when the TSA announced they were going to start allowing small pocketknives on flights.  It never happened; they reversed the decision (grrr) but I still had the knife.

And it has become a favorite.  I carry a "regular" size folding knife clipped inside my pocket as part of my EDC but I also include this one loose in the opposite pocket.  It's just too useful.

The nail file / cleaner is awesome.  Much better than most nail files found on nail clippers - I'll clip my nails with a regular clipper then pull out this file to polish them off.  The "cuticle pusher" is an effective mini-prybar.  Mini-phillips screwdriver is nice.  "Orange peeler" can work as a clamshell pack package opener.  Scissors are solid.

If I'm dressed too "gentlemanly" for my larger knife, I can just carry this and still have blade options.  Alternatively, if I'm traveling with checked baggage, I can throw this in and bring a fair amount of functionality with me, I just have to make sure I don't forget and accidentally try to carry it on.

This is definitely the mini Swiss Army knife of choice.  The only question should be, get the regular MiniChamp or the Midnite version?  What's the difference?

Only this - the regular version has the traditional tweezers and toothpick in the handle while the Midnite version lacks those, instead has a retractable pen and a LED flashlight.

I got the Midnite version at the time because I thought the light and pen would be more useful.  And they do work, though not super impressively.  Battery swapout takes a small needle or probe to open the compartment.

These days, though, I carry other lights and a proper pen as part of my EDC that perform much better.  If I had to do it again, I'd get the regular one with toothpick and tweezers.  But, no biggie.
