About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Great Knife March 25, 2010

This is not the small knife you might be looking for to put in your pocket, it's a good size knife for the Computer Tech like me who rip computers down and up. I just bought this knife and love it so much. It does go in my pocket :-) great product, 5 stars.

I was looking for a victorinox that had a larger blade, but didn't have too much clutter and the centurion was right up my alley. Don't get me wrong, its a big knife on its own, even with its stripped down accessories, but this is a nife I won't be afraid to beat up on, versus my victorinox champion that I dote over.

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.

My only complaint is that this knife is not available with a shackle key as the mariner is. The mariner which I have also has a serrated blade that is difficult to keep sharp and is just not as usable as a regular sharp smooth blade for opening boxes and blister packages for example. Knife could also stand to have the phillips head attachment in a more usable place. You know what i mean like opening at either end of the knife instead of from the bottom.

I carried the very similar Victorinox Swiss Army Adventurer model (red handle) knife for years but did not like the fact that the large screwdriver blade did not lock. In my opinion this Centurion is better and safer to use than the Adventurer model because of the twin locking feature. I bought two of these. One for my pants pocket and one for a spare in case i lost my other one. If you think the knife is too big and heavy to carry in your pants pocket then maybe a belt pouch will solve your problem. But having the lock on the large bladed screwdriver is important to prevent it from collapsing during use. This is a good general purpose knife.
