Review of the Victorinox Century Swiss Army Knife

Advantages: Sharp serrated blade, attractive design.
Disadvantages: None that spring to mind.

I am a little bit sad. You see, I'm a pen knife anorak... I have four of the things, and use them for camping trips, jobs around the house and those bizarre tasks that pop up from time to time (ever got a lump of chewing gum stuck to your shoe before a meeting?!?) In short - I KNOW about penknives. Features of the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife Serrated/Straight blade - this is pulled out from the cover by gripping a little groove on the back of the blade. It is made of stainless steel, so it won't rust, and it "locks" when it is in line with the handle. The blade is 4" long and has about 60% serrated edge and 40% straight edge. It is an incredibly sharp blade that cuts just about anything - string ...

Swiss Army Knife - Don't camp without it

Advantages: so many different varieties, for whatever purpose
Disadvantages: may need oiling if not kept properly

The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is an essential tool for anyone going on any sort of a camping trip or hike. These knives can be found anywhere in the world with a huge assormtment of functionalities. They can be as small as your pinky or as long as your middle finger and as fat as a hot dog bun.

Some of them even have compasses (extremely useful tool). You can get addons to your knives as well. If you wear glasses you can get a special little screw device that screws into the cork puller-outer, which has such a small screwing nozzle that it is perfect for tightening your lenses.

Review of Victorinox - Swiss Army Knife

A knife With A Point

Advantages: Sharp blades, expected host of features, Victorinox quality
Disadvantages: Reliability of electronics not proven

This review is for a Victorinox Altimeter Swiss Army Knife. It was bought as a present so although I do not know exactly what it was bought for I have had a quick look around on the internet and standard prices seem to be around £50. This cost surprised me at first but I suppose you do get what you pay for. Before I tell you about my experiences with this knife I will quickly outline it's features, which as expected for a Victorinox Knife is sufficiently long! These features are taken directly from the manufacturers descriptions and I do find one or two of the features are a bit dubious, but on the whole they all function well: 1. large blade 2. small blade 3. corkscrew 4. can opener with - small screwdriver 3 mm (also for Phillips screws) 5. cap lifter with - screwdriver 6 mm - wire stripper 9. reamer, punch 10. key ...
