Exceeds expectations; fillets fish in a pinchJun 14, 2006
By Andrew J. Riemer
"Andrew James Riemer"
I've always loved Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, but I must admit that I when I purchased this one, I was not sure if I made the right choice, but my expectations were soon exceeded. It was right before a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota, I had lost my other Swiss Army Knife (a Tinker), and I was looking for a versatile knife with a locking blade. I did not need dozens of other tools for my pending stay in the wilderness. I settled on this one because it was on sale (around $20), and I have not been disappointed.
The handle has a mild contour that made it very comfortable to handle. For its size, it had just the right heft, but it was not too heavy to weigh down my shirt (where I kept it in my buttoned breast pocket).
The 4" locking blade worked wonderfully. I could close it with either one or two hands. When closing it, the blade pauses at the halfway point, reducing the risk of closing it on your fingers when closing it one-handed (that said, it does not eliminate all risk, so close the knife with one hand at your own risk). During my recent canoe trip, I lost my fillet knife on a portage trail and was surprised that cleaning a 24" northern pike with this blade was quite painless (though it did take some skill).
Beyond the blade, I've always found the leather awl and the screwdriver handy, but the can opener blade is a primary reason why I prefer Victorinox Swiss Army knives over those produced by Wegner.
The knife shipped in a simple cardboard box. A sheath or pouch would have been nice, but I was able to fabricate one with duct tape before my trip. Since I kept it in my shirt pocket for most of my trip, the sheath wasn't necessary, but it is one accessory you should consider purchasing if you choose this knife.
I recommend getting one. You will not be disappointed.

VERY GOOD POCKET KNIFEJul 07, 2007
By gary green
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.

A man sized knifeJun 02, 2009
By Robert R. Franke
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.

Just what I was looking forJul 12, 2009
By A. Hansen
"gordon freeman"
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.

Very Nice KnifeSep 13, 2006
By M. T. Swartz
"lickfire"
I am pleased with this knife. The main blade was sharp and the other tools work well. I think the handle feels on the cheap side. I was expecting the knife to be smaller. (I didn't read the description carefully). Overall, I would recommend this handy knife.
