VictorinoxOne-Hand Sentinel Pocket Knife with Lock Blade, Carry Clip and Key Ring - Black

Very solid knife and not to heavy. Hard to open when you first get it but it loosens up. Blade is super sharp and stays that way. Definitely recommend.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. This is my favorite knife probably I’ve ever used. Simple, lightweight but still relatively large. Get it with the clip and non serrated lock blade with the one handed opening. So easy to carry you don’t even notice the weight clipped on your pocket.

Nice pocketknife. Good quality materials used. The blade was sharp enough for me of the box. To me , the locking mechanics call for two hands which is ok with me. The handles are made of that”mystery substance” that Swiss Army knives are known for , but , this “mystery substance” doesn’t show scratches . The knife seems to lock into position nicely and the handle size allows for a good grip when cutting.This one is the first with the clip , so that remains to be seen. I have one with out the clip and that’s held up well. Rate it about 4.5

My daily carry and has been for YEARS. Excellent quality. Inexpensive. Holds an edge, but sharpens well. DOES NOT RUST. Excellent size. Lightweight. Clip works really well. Cannot recommend enough.

Quirky comfortable knife with a left hand liner lock that is super stiff - not a bad thing but definitely not fidgety. Lightweight and a sharp blade (ask my thumb while wiping off pivot lube). I carry a small SAK Alox cadet in my wallet and it doesn’t have the toothpick. The Sentinel does and has a locking blade so perfect to edc them both. Has a little vertical play when deployed. Not horrible and similar to my SAK Ranger in that way. Wish it had the same style unlock as the Ranger where you push the ‘shield’ to unlock the blade. If Victorinox does that in this size knife I am buying! Good value for money and definitely different compared to a lot of other folders.

This is a good knife overall, but the action is super stiff. Way too stiff. I also get that a lot of people would like the liner lock set up to work in the opposite direction. This does not bother me so much, as I am left handed. Can it be opened one handed? Yes, But, man, it’s enough to make you grimace doing so. Can it be closed one handed? Yes, but the whole operation borders on being unsafe, due to the extreme stiffness in the action. I don’t know if it is just this knife, or what. I suspect not. I think this is set up in line with the manufacturers philosophy concerning safety. Ironically, this makes the knife less safe imo. I don’t have a problem with the way Victorinox does these liner locks generally. I like the two handed 111mm knives pretty well, with their half stops and stiff actions. They are very secure. In fact, my perfect Sentinel Clip would be the two handed model, just with a clip. Unfortunately, they do not make the two handed Sentinel with a clip. I really wish they would. I gave the Sentinel an overall rating of five stars, the lock feature, two stars, and ergonomics and craftsmanship four stars. I really like this knife, but the one handed feature is problematic.

I use it for nearly everything. The stainless steel blade is easy to sharpen (highly recommend the Victorinox sharpener), looks great, is easy to clean, and is not too thick or too thin. Good to cutting up apples as well as cardboard boxes. Lightweight enough to clip on your back pocket & not know it’s there. Easy to open one handed once it breaks in a little. My only (very) minor complaint is that the blade wiggles a little bit when locked open but it’s hardly noticeable and hey - how much can you expect from a $30 knife. Overall love it. 4.8 out of 5 rating. I suppose if I wanted a little sturdier knife I could upgrade to the Alox version but this one does a great job and is a great price.

Its very light, yet extremely durable, and extremely useful multitool.Its lockback release action is backwards from all other manufactures, yet is superior for this type, and easily usable single handed, right or left, with practice.It is safer, more secure than other lockbacks of this type.It is highly corrosion resistant.The blade design is exceptionally usable for all common tasks and more.I use the tweezers and toothpick tools regularly.I wear mine clipped over a belt loop.Leaves me pockets open for large folding combat knifes and a small hatchet I can draw throw and carve with. Leaves my belt open for clipping dog to, carrying canteen, or foraging bag or tomahawk whatever.Clip a tiny thumb squeeze LED light to it and its even more useful.I lost first one moving, ordered another as soon as I could a year later.
