Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Card


... I have had one of these in my wallet for years and it is surprising useful. All of the gadgets are small so don't expect to build a house with this thing or "survive" in the jungles of South America. However, the various options really do work. I have used the little pen when I don't have one in my pocket to jot down a phone number, the little knife is useful when opening packages and I have used the little scissors countless times to trim my nails (great when you have a hang nail at work). The tweezers are also useful as is the mini screwdriver (but don't expect a lot of torque). The gadget also come with some other features which I have not used but which may be useful to you.

The best feature of this card is the fact that you can put it in your wallet and it is always there when you need it. There are a couple of other CC gadgets out there, some of which offer better knives. With that said, after years of use I would recommend this one to your list of considerations.

Victorinox Swiss Army Centurion Pocket Knife (Black)


... I bought the Centurion because after owning an OH Trekker, GAK and OH Parachutist I was looking for a slimmer profile in a knife. I found that in the Centurion, it eliminates the saw and/or belt cutter blades found on the above mentioned knives while still using a double liner lock for main blade and flat head screwdriver. Lighter and easier to carry, the Centurion provides you with an impressive amount of useable tools for a very low price. The only thing that I would like to see are a pair of scissors which is easily solved by adding either my Victorinox Minichamp or Executive to my EDC, rather than adding another layer of tools to the frame. That being said if Victorinox in its infinite wisdom chose to add a pair of scissors opposite an in line phillips driver as a third tool layer on the Centurion it would be hands down my perfect EDC knife. Buy this tool, you won't be disappointed. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Rucksack


... This is a great quality knife that hasn't failed me. I bought it almost 12 years ago and still carry it around wherever I go. I was drawn to this model because I wanted a slimmer, sturdy pocket knife that didn't skimp on the important stuff. While other knives have 2 blades, the Rucksack's 1 large blade is sufficient for me. The Trailmaster (or Trekker) and Locksmith are similar models that both have a phillips screwdriver in place of the corkscrew, but I've found that the flatheads on the Rucksack have worked just fine in a pinch. (Also, I've actually used the corkscrew a few times.) Finally, the locking blade is a great safety feature.

As I mentioned earlier, I bring this knife with me wherever I go. That said, although the knife is sleeker than other models due to its minimalist nature, it isn't even the smallest or most compact product out there. I'm personally satisfied with the size, but I'm also usually toting it around a purse. I don't know how it would be to try to lug it around in a pocket every day.

I generally use this knife for "urban survival" (in other words, "everyday living"). However, I am a fan of emergency preparedness and was pleasantly surprised to find it recommended on a website as a good, basic survival knife. Of course, I never fail to bring it along on a camping trip.

All-in-all, I'd say it's a great quality knife with a great value. ...

Victorinox One Hand Sentinel Clip Pocket Knife


... I like the Swiss Army line and own and use a bunch of them. I ordered this one to use as just that; a knife. I liked it because it did not have all the tools that sometimes are not needed, and I wanted a locking blade and the liner lock; while an old design, is a simple lock and more reliable than most. This one works well, but in my opinion the liner lock is on the wrong side of the blade and tends a right handed person has to reach ACROSS the sharpened edge and PULL the lock out of the way to close the blade, putting said thumb in peril, as opposed to PUSHING the lock out of the way to close the blade from the side where the thumb is located. A small issue, but in a quick "use it and close it" situation it is much easier to cut yourself. The only other issue I have is the serrations on the blade. They work well, but are on the tip end of the blade and should be on the hilt end with a smooth, non serrated tip of the knife blade for fine work. (ever tried to remove a hang nail from the side of your finger with a serrated tip of the blade?) The blades in these knives are generally easy to sharpen and take a razor edge and a non serrated tip and point is far superior, and the serrated portion should be farther back toward the handle for heavy work if needed. (I would prefer a non serrated blade but could not get one in this model) The pocket clip works well, and appears to be sturdy. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Handyman Pocket Tool


... Just make sure you don't collapse it on your finger when you are turning it.

Screwdrivers work well without dulling -- Knife blades keep and retain a sharp edge, can opener is great for the field. The metal saw is awesome, as is the metal file -- the wood saw is too -- I've been able to do some quick and fast cuts to furring strips or molding with pleasing (well, not professional, but good) results.

My only gripe and this has been the same -- with the many generations of Swiss Army knives that I have had in my lifetime -- is that spring on the scissors -- it breaks all too soon. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Cybertool Pocket Knife


... I bought it since I work in IT, but am also a computer hobbyist at home. While it is not my primary computer tool, I keep it on me and it has come in handy quite frequently. The bits fit all standard screwheads, knives come in handy in more way than one, and it even has a bottle opener to pop the top on that post-shift beer. The pen has yet to dry out on me. And although I have not yet tried the corkscrew, it seems a bit too small to actually open a bottle of wine. Great little tool to have around for those computer geeks. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Altimeter Multi-Tool


... My son gave me this for Christmas, having picked it from my Amazon.com wish list.
Like all Victorinox Swiss Army knives, it's a brilliantly designed gentleman's multitool. I wanted the altimeter and thermometer features for my occasional travels to Colorado and motorcycle camping.
Since my home state of Indiana is pretty flat, especially the northern half where I live, the altimeter's chief value is as a barometer - if the altitude goes up, the pressure is dropping and stormy weather is coming, if the altitude goes down, the pressure is rising and good weather will follow.
Likewise, I haven't done any real outdoor stuff since Christmas, so about the only temperature readings I've seen have been straight out of my pants pocket, which I can report is a pretty consistent 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
I love gadgets and this is a cool little gadget. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Cybertool 29 Pocket Tool


... Victorinox currently makes the CyberTool 29, CyberTool 34, CyberTool 41, and CyberTool Lite. The SwissChamp XLT and XAVT are also officially part of the "CyberTool" line from Victorinox.

The CyberTool 29 is by far the thinnest and lightest of the group, which makes it actually possible to pocket carry this tool. The four double-sided bits is what distinguishes the CyberTool models from the regular Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. (Note that the SwissChamp XAVT actually contains eight double-sided bits.) There are also additional bits which can be purchased from third party sources, such as SwissBianco.

If you absolutely need the scissors and pliers, which is quite possible when working with computers, then the CyberTool 34 will be the thinnest model to have those tools with the bits and driver. I found the CyberTool 34 still far too heavy for pocket carry.

The CyberTool 41 is the same as the CyberTool 34 with the addition of a woodsaw and metal file. This tool is for most people too heavy for pocket carry, and usually carried in a belt pouch or bag.

One of the least mentioned and discussed CyberTools is the "Lite" version which has a magnifying glass and small flashlight. Although not as popular in sales, this is a terrific version which allows you to use the flashlight while working inside a computer case and the magnifying glass could be useful for inspecting bent pins.

Whichever CyberTool you choose, you will want to be careful in not losing the bits, as the replacements for those are actually fairly expensive. ...

Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip (Black)


... Slim and light so it disappears in your pocket. The money clip is tight and secure. You'll find yourself using the blade, or scissors nearly every day. The nail file gets less use but makes a fine phillips screw driver in a pinch. Typical Swiss army quality, solid.

Just remember it's in your pocket, most concerts, sporting events, airlines, etc will take it from you because of the blade. ...
