Victorinox Survival Kit Swiss Champ

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

Survival Kit

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

pocket knife with a white cross scutcheon logo. The most handy tools in this knife? The blade, scissors and corkscrew! SwissCard Lite is a flat (3mm thick) credit-card sized case containing 6 removable tools and 3 built-in tools that can be always handy to have in your pocket or handbag as it contains basic survival agents such as blade, light and pen. Now let's have a closer look at the smart things. Blade - they also call it a letter opener, but I prefer a blade, since I believe 99.5% of humans don't really need a tool to open a letter. It's pointy, 3.9cm long from the tip to base which is embedded in a flat plastic handle that bears the Victorinox logo and a notch to make it easy to pull the blade out as it clicks into its place in the case quite firmly. Scissors - looks like half scissors only as the top handle doesn ...

Review of Swiss Army SwissCard Lite

Compact Kit For Soldiers

Advantages: Huge range to choose from.
Disadvantages: Some you will need deep pockets for.

I have owned Swiss Army Knives for more than thirty years and always own at least two I seem to have to buy replacements every year, this is not because I lose them nor is it that they wear out, it is just that someone always takes a fancy to mine and talks me into giving it away. This can be expensive as a genuine Victorinox knife starts at about £9 for the small single blade version and soon runs up to £50 for a good multi-tool knife and into the hundreds for a solid gold pocket knife. The Multi-tool knives are what it is all about they come in so many configurations that it just is not possible to list them all, suffice it to say that there is one that will suit your needs. About the only tool I have never seen on a Swiss Army Knife is a razor but you could argue that the blade holds such a keen edge that you could shave with it ...
