The All Purpose Knife

For decades, the Swiss Army knife has represented the finest in multi functional knives. Before multi tools were widespread, Swiss Army knives were in the pockets of millions of people around the world. While the Swiss Army knife might not be as functional in some respects as a multi tool, one can’t argue with its convenience. These knives have become staples of camping, hunting, boating, fishing, and backpacking because of their compact and lightweight design. Even the standard Swiss Army knife has dozens of different practical uses. Some of the more common tools on a Swiss Army knife include tweezers, scissors, long blade, short blade, can opener, and tooth pick. However, the more advanced Swiss Army knives have tools like screw drivers, bottle openers, pliers, magnifying glasses, and needle threaders. With a vast assortment of tools suited for different purposes, Swiss Army knives are still the premier multi tools for the outdoorsman.
You can find Swiss Army knives at virtually any location that sells knives. These pocket knives are so popular that the name Swiss Army knife is often associated with all brands of pocket knives and knife multi tools.
