Question by ianbell: Plain or Serrated blade?
I’m thinking of getting a swiss army knife, and I have a small but important decision-a plain or serrated blade? Ideally i would get a combo blade, but that isn’t an option for what i’m looking for. My options are the Victorinox Soldier knife (the new one), and the Wenger Ranger Grip 78. The knives are virtually identical, the only differences are in the design of the can opener, the length (the Wenger is 5/8 of an inch longer, though both blades are almost 4 inches), and the Wenger has a plain blade while the Victorinox has a serrated blade. I plan to use the blade both for everyday stuff and backpacking (so preparing food, cutting random stuff, but nothing that require a particularly fine cut). I’m not a whittler, but I’m just nor sure which blade is better.
A knife review on the Victorinox Cadet. Keep in ming that the knife comes with various models with different tools. Mine came with a knife, can opener, bottle opener, and filer.
www.bandungbarcodesystem.info A Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is a combination of solid hand tool and inventive creativity. A characteristic feature of the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is its multi-functionality, which makes it indispensible for many of lifes situations. All Victorinox Swiss Army Knives are made from first class stainless steel and are guaranteed against any defects in material and workmanship. The Climber Swiss Army Knife has large and small blades, a corkscrew, a can opener with a small 3 mm screwdriver, a bottle opener with a 6 mm screwdriver and wire stripper, a reamer/punch tool, a keyring, tweezers, a toothpick, scissors and a multi-pupose hook.
My take on the Victorinox Cadet. With a weight of just 48g (1.7oz), and a useful set of tools the Cadet is a great pocket knife. I’ve carried it a lot at work and it’s become a firm favorite. It handles my daily tasks and I have no problem using it in the presence of others. It is very sheeple friendly. The Alox handle scales look great and are nicely textured. Tools included on the Cadet are; blade, key ring, bottle opener with large screwdriver, wire stripper, can opener with small screwdriver, nail file with nail cleaner. I once thought Swiss Army Knives were old fashioned and over rated. I sure was wrong about that. They are well designed and made, very practical, and are good to use. The Cadet is a standout model in the range and I highly recommend it. Music: Raw by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com). Licensed under Creative Commons “Attribution 3.0″
