VictorinoxVictorinox Swiss Army One-Hand Sentinel Non-Serrated Pocket Knife

Light weight , easy opening ,

This is a left-handed knife. It's not in the description. I bought the same knife with a serrated cutting edge some years back. This one has a straight cutting edge. The liner lock is built to be disengaged by the user's left thumb The liner lock is extremely stiff. The opening and closing of the knife is very stiff. Not a fidgety knife by any means. 5 stars because it is a good knife. Easy to sharpen. It won't survive a torture test but it will open letters, boxes, etc. Comes with the Victorinox tweezer and toothpick.

LOVE IT ! Do not pay attention to other reviews; it is hard to open and close. My left hand is weak due to an accident, and I can open and close it just fine.

The knife is of good quality, and lightweight. It comes sharp out of the box. The locking mechanism is very tight and a fair amount of skill is required to close the knife. It opens very smoothly. My only complaint is with the scales on the pocket knife. The scales are very smooth and the knife slips when wet. I am going to dimple the scales so they hold better in my hand. The knife was inexpensive. I don’t know how it will hold up with repeated use. I liked the larger blade and it was the main reason for trying out this particular knife.

Always loved these knives for sharp blades and great handles, you can get better but it will cost you.

Knock me over with a feather.For years, I resisted getting a 115 mm SAK, because I thought the only one I would want would be the One-Handed Trekker with a non-serrated blade... and those are hard to find.I found one, and loved it, and then I went on a 115 mm kick. Forester, Soldier, etc.Knock me over with a feather. I had always thought that there is no point to the Sentinel... since the one-handed lock-blade is the most contested, most populated genre of knives... and I have plenty.I was wrong...The Vic Sentinel is, basically, the perfect knife. It does a bang-up up job of imitating a Gentleman's Folder in your pocket, and then when you open it, it is a totally competent bushcraft/wilderness knife... blade same as your hand, greate for for camp chores, great for fire prep, great for food prep.I have $10,000 worth of knives (or I did before I sold a lot of them).This is the knife I reach fore each morning.(The steel is soft, but I can bring it back to razor sharp in 20 seconds each morning, on the crock sticks. It's like brushing my teeth.)

Buena navaja

The media could not be loaded. This knife is very difficult to open with one hand. There is a space between the blade and the casing on one side but not the other where it is tight, rubbing metal on metal. This is putting arc shaped scratches on the side without the space. I suppose its just will get easier to open after its used for a while but the scratches are unsightly. Perhaps putting a teflon spacer on the side that is tight would correct this. Or some other redesign.
