Victorinox Swiss Multi Tool Spirit

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 ...

Review of Victorinox - Swiss Army Knife

The multi-functional tool

Advantages: Very compact, lots of functions, useful in any situation
Disadvantages: Quite easy to lose or misplace, due to size and shape

Having been involved heavily in outdoor activities for most of my life, I have found the victorinox multi-tools invaluable. The most recent addition to the family, the swiss card, is particularly well designed. It contains a blade, small scissors, stainless steel pin, nail file, screwdriver, ballpoint pen, ruler, protractor and toothpick. The revolutionary shape allows it to fit comfortably in a pocket or even some wallets, and I found that the individual tools are far less fiddly to extract than in previous pen-knives. The blade itself is safer, as there is no chance of it flicking shut on fingers, as was possible before. The designers have fitted every essential for the outdoors onto this card, similar dimensions to a credit card (82 x 54 x 4mm), and no space has been wasted. There are only one or two aspects of the design that I feel ...

Review of Victorinox Swiss Card

The best multi tool by a long shot

Advantages: countless features crammed into a strong compact multitool
Disadvantages: pricey

I work as a female technician, and a multi tool is an absolute must for me in my line of work and it is widely known that leatherman is the industry standard that is known for its durable and practical multi tools. The charge is the top of the leatherman multi tool family, and it has a pretty heft price tag to match. It is worth every penny! I have had mine for three years, using it on a daily basis and it is still as good as new! These tools come with a 25 year guarantee too, and you can send them back to be sharpened properly if they blunt at all. ( I have made use of this service , and it is very efficient. ) The tool is compact, and comes with a belt pouch made of thick durable leather. It includes a massive collection of tools which I have listed below; - S30V Stainless Steel Clip-point Knife - 420HC Serrated Knife ...
