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 Huntsman Knife - Not Just For Hunting!

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...

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. 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...

A cut above the rest

Advantages: Stylish, durable, sharp, versatile, last a life time
Disadvantages: Nothing to lock the blades open

...As a young boy my father gave me his old pen knife for me to use, that may sound pretty irresponsible today in the 'knife culture' we live in, but one of the first things he taught me was how to use it responsibly & never to use it in anger. I certainly used it, I fixed the steering in my wooden box cart with it, well it was steered by thick string, nothing too technical there!! I fixed my bicycle with it, used it when I went fishing, got myself out of many fixes when my shoelaces were completely knotted & guess who had the sharpest pencils in the classroom? When I was older I purchased a Swiss Army knife & for about 20 years it was used on a regular basis until one day I forgot to remove it from my hand baggage at the airport & it was confiscated. I bought a near identical replacement & take it with me everywhere, these knives...

Survival Kit

Advantages: small and compact size, durable tools
Disadvantages: tools may be too small for those with big hands

...Victorinox SwissCard Lite I've had this small pocket-size set of tool since quite some time and have found it perfectly helpful particularly because the tools are small but well-made and from strong materials and are packed in a tiny compact case that fits basically anywhere. It comes in a variety of red, green, blue or black translucent hard plastic case with the Victorinox logo on the front. Victorinox is a company famous particularly for their Swiss Army Knife and a more than wide range of multi-purpose pocket knives, but besides these items they also produce a lot of top-quality kitchen knives and tools. However, they specialize in small, multi-functional cat's paws. Founded by Karl Elsener in 1884 this company has won great reputation and probably everybody has at least heard about a swiss knife or seen a small red...

Review of Swiss Army SwissCard Lite

One great piece of hardware!

Advantages: Good quality
Disadvantages: Can rust if exposed to salty water

...It's so hard to do a review for this Victorinox Camper Swiss army knife because there are so many very good things to say about it and i just don't know from where to start with this review. Let's start with the design of this Victorinox Camper Swiss army knife. It's a very simple but very practical design in the traditional colors al Victorinox, red and white. The materials are very good, resist to shocks very well, the colors of the handle will stay there for ever but in time some scratches will appear, that depends of how you use it. I my opinion this is not an heavy duty knife, so don't treat him like one. The steel used for the blades in, as you expected, very good. Is has the right flexibility and rigidiness so it can be used in many activities. You can sharpen the blades of t his Victorinox Camper Swiss army knife very easy, if...

The media equivilent of the Swiss army knife

Advantages: Good phone, decent enough camera, easy connectivity with PC, lots of features
Disadvantages: No headphone socket for the mp3 player, many features drain battery very fast

...the quality of the camera on the phone. I have had two phones with cameras in them and the quality has been terrible. The k510i takes beautiful shots in full size mode. Despite having only 1.3 megapixels the pics are very smooth and don't suffer from the terrible compression artifacts of its predecessors' images. I have printed a couple of the pictures onto A4 paper and apart from being a little soft the colour is vivid and the image undistorted. This is a very handy tool for capturing the moment, the media equivilent of the Swiss army knife. There is a video mode but the pixelated picture quality and the low frame rate is fairly horrendous. Having said that, it is still perfect for capturing the moment if you are stuck without a proper video camera, and is perfect for doing little family clips for YouTube. I am very glad of it when my little...

the features of army of two

Advantages: a very violent and enjoyable game with great coop gameplay
Disadvantages: it is shorter than expected

...Army of two is about two rangers, who after their first mission of watching a mercenary in action are offered a job as one. they decide to join and become mercenaries too. This game is inventive in the way that you can customise your weapons and armour. This varies from the size of the barrel to pimping your gun to make it look cool (make it gold!). But each one of these add-on's affects your damage, range, magazine cap. and aggro. This brings me too the most important feature of the game which makes it stand out from most other games. Aggro: this is where the focus of fire is concentrated more on one person. This means they have the "aggro". The reason aggro is important for this game is that your strategy in the game is based mainly around it. For example, if one person takes the "aggro" then the other player can sneak round...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

British Army - sorts the men from the boys

Advantages: Good Experience
Disadvantages: Often Dangerous, Underpaid for half the work !

...The British Army provides a real way out for many people, it gives morales and standards to many young people, who otherwise wouldnt have a chance of survival in their home environment. As an employer, it often neglects its duty of care, and the work environments can be exceptionally challenging, the day to day life often crosses the thin line of ridiculousness, and again, as an employer, the Ministry of Defence fails to protect its employees from several areas of harm that should not be found in the Army. The Recruitment process usually starts in the Recruiting Station, where a potential recruit will make several visits to discuss their options. After a few tests, they can choose a trade, in which the Army will train them to be proficient in their undertakings. As time continues the Soldier will gain valuable experience in his...
