...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 VictorinoxSwissArmy Century SwissArmyKnife
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...

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

...strongly.
12. (scissors)
These may be small, but they are sharp and fit together very well so cut things quickly and precisely as long as the material isn't too thick. So far they have cut paper, card, wire and string very well for me.
13. (multipurpose hook)
A slightly odd looking thing without much of a hook on the end but again I'm sure you could find a use for it if the situation arose.
14. (altimeter)
This is quite a nice addition to these newer range of SwissArmyKnifes. It calculates the height based on atmospheric pressure so doesn't need to be calibrated at a known height before you start walking, or biking each time you use it. It seems to be reasonably accurate, but as warned on the packaging it is slow to react so is no use to skydivers! Calibrating it is done with one button (this replaces the Victorinox symbol so...

Why does Delia Smith use such good knives as Victorinox on her television series 'How to cook' and then sell completely different makes on her web site? Not only are the prices on her web site extortionate for knives at £110.00 for a set of three,... more
