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... Read review

Advantages: Plenty of tools, small size.
Disadvantages: Pricing could be considered steep, tweezers and toothpicks easily lost.

...*Product* Small, smart, safe - three words out of many that could be used to describe how useful the Swiss Army Huntsman Knife is. With a size being slightly smaller than an average male middle-finger, and yet still thinner than a thumbs width, it is no wonder that it is more commonly known as a the more popular 'Pocketknife' - a place where it is perfectly safe to hold, might I add. As with most items, the size has no impact on the innards of the instrument, although it is definitely helpful that it can slide neatly in and out of the palm of your hand, but, have no qualms about it; the durable plastic outer-shell (usually in a firetruck red, but comes in a range of colours) a slight grip of the hand will keep it in place. As with all Swiss Army Knives, this comes with strong stainless steel and some dangerously sharp edges (Warning... Read review

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. If you are really out in the woods or somewhere else in the middle of nowhere, a knife will always come in handy as might a saw and scissors and the whole lot of things that come on those knives. 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. The hook is great for tightening those hard to tighten... Read review

Advantages: Generally an awesome piece of equipment
Disadvantages: Knife slightly too sharp :)

...My father bought me this as a present for my birthday. My immediate reaction was to do what i think most people do, flick out all the tools! I was suprised when after 10 minutes i still hadn't managed to get everything out, as my small fingernails were no match for the fiddliness of it. When i had taken everything out, i was in shock about how many tools there actually were. My mind was raking over what each tool would be used for. I was in for a nasty shock when i was to put everything away, the large knife, which i didn't realise sprang shut when you pushed it, sliced the top of my finger. That kind of ruined the day as my mom was stressing about blood being poured on the carpet. Five months later, all the tools have stayed sharp, not something you normally find with un-branded penknifes. I think that every person... Read review
