Do You Own A Swiss Army Knife?

Do I own one?
Yes; this is my 3rd Victornox Tinker
https://www.swissarmy.com/us/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Medium-Pocket-Knives/Tinker/p/1.4603

Lost one, wore one out (you know the end is near when the plastic scales get loose and the metal cross logo falls off), this one resides in my pocket.
After quite a bit of thought I came to the conclusion that the tinker model had the best (for me) combination of tools while still remaining pocketable, from a weight and bulk standpoint.

Enjoy!

I have a travel kit which contains an "Explorer" Swiss Army Knife, which has a small magnifying glass- great for reading timetables and a Leatherman. between the two I can fix almost anything except a rainy day.

How the Swiss Army Knife was the iPhone of its day​

swiss_army_knife001.jpg

The first Swiss Army Knife, which was issued to soldiers in October of 1891.


With an iPhone in your hand and thousands of apps at your disposal, you may think you have the one gadget that can get you out of any situation.

But there’s a kind of analog handset that offers sharp solutions to cut through unexpected challenges. The Swiss Army Knife comes from the 19th century but never gets old.

The red handle and silver cross is enough to inspire confidence knowing that what unfolds from it could help you solve problems, build things, keep you on the job or possibly save your life.

The trademark red handle was added to the knife a few years later.
