Review on Multitool Swiss card VICTORINOX Sentinel one-hand black by Wiktor Jak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

Overall conclusion: the knife is overall very good. I recommend it for daily wear, if the task is not worth some specific one. True, someone will have to get used to a somewhat peculiar ergonomics, but those who learn how to use the lock will appreciate an interesting solution. Of the minuses, perhaps only the material of the dies, I want something more durable. But if there is no task of power work, then this is perhaps one of the best knives for the urban EDC. There is also a version with a clip and a semi-serrated blade, it is even better, but this is a slightly different story.

Pros
  • The knife is basically fine! If they work, not admire. Steel does not rust in any way, does not require special care. Relatively well keeps working sharpness, moderately plastic, does not break under lateral loads. Very easy to sharpen and straighten. The knife is extremely light for its size. Very compact, barely noticeable in the pocket. One-handed use is very convenient. Peaceful civilian appearance, does not scare grandmothers when you take it out and help them open the package. Perceived as a tool, not a knife. Tweezers and a toothpick help out almost more often than the knife itself.
Cons
  • The dies are not very securely attached to the liners, they strive to separate under lateral loads. In addition, the texture is not to say that it would not be slippery. Pleasant to the touch but without any notches, because of this it does not really cling to the hand. The material of the dice is too soft, there are scratches on it literally from everything that has a hardness above the nail. And due to the extra elasticity of the material of the dies, the overall design of the knife is also subject to deformation under transverse loads. Another disadvantage of the dice material is its literally no resistance to heat, another thing is who might need it . But at a picnic, a knife can be accidentally dropped into the barbecue (this happens) or other quite probable circumstances, in which case the dice will end immediately . Most knives now have G10 dies, and you will have a good chance of getting the knife out of the fire without serious damage (if you don’t hesitate). If the knife is squeezed hard in the hand, the liners are easily pressed through and can be deformed, not to say that this is a pleasant feeling, although with such a thickness, hardly any knife can handle it.

Some pros: There are no backlashes, it fits comfortably in the hand, a sharp blade, waved off half a finger at once (healed for 1.5 weeks) Different cons: Slippery plastic and tight lock, sometimes not very convenient to open
