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, rope, wood, and some types of wire. It also has a pointed tip which comes in useful for making marks and holes.

Relatively robust design - the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife stands up to most normal use, but I wouldn't take it with me when I go out walking in the Scottish mountains - it just isn't tough enough to be dropped or accidentally stood on.

Attractive Design - My knife is camouflaged with different shades of army green, but I'm sure you can get the right colour to match your mobile phone case...

===============================================
The Verdict on the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife, Advantage Timber Camouflage
===============================================

My son loves the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife and it comes in really useful when he works out in the shed. I can personally tell you that it is an excellent knife and is worth the money.

================================================
Details of the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife, Advantage Timber Camouflage

=============================
Other Knives To Try
=============================

Victorinox Esquire Translucent Swiss Army Knife - A very attractive little knife.

Classic Barleycorn pocket knife - A little more expensive than the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife, but virtually indestructible.

Victorinox Porsche Design Swiss Army Knife - if you hadn't figured it out from the word "Porshe", I'll tell you that this is a very expensive knife. £150 and no leather seats.
