Did You Know That The Swiss Army Knife Is The Best Pocket Knife Selection ?
Many people believe that the best pocket knife is a Swiss Army knife, originally named Offiziersmesser, which was too hard for those in the English speaking nations to say, so it is known as the Swiss Army knife. This little marvel is equipped with an assortment of handy tools, that can be of use to many people. Let's look at some of these and how they can be used.
As with most knives, it has two blades, one of which is the main blade and a smaller one for other purposes. There is a corkscrew, a can opener, along with a bottle opener. You can choose between a flathead or Phillips head screw driver, a nail file, and scissors. It also has a saw blade, a regular file, and it has a hook to tighten shoelaces on your stomping boots.
With each progression of technology, more tools have been added with a couple of them for personal hygiene. A convenient pair of tweezers, and toothpick became standard issue, and for food preparation they added a blade to clean the scales off fish. During extended tours in the wilderness, these knives proved to be indispensable for hunters and catching fish.
This little European marvel continued to evolve with the addition of a ballpoint pen and magnifying glass. This glass is used for starting a fire in dry leaves to create a means of cooking and to provide warmth from the cold climates. There is always a possibility of needed something to write with, and the ink pen fills that bill.
A few more items which can be found on one of the Swiss Army knife are a hex wrench with bits, and pliers. By using the hook and a pair of pliers, a person can easily make a shelter from the rain by using a rain slicker and string (or vines) to fashion a lean-to structure.
The age of computers added its necessities when they added a 32GB flash drive, a useful digital clock and an altimeter. Then they added a few more items like a LED light, a handy laser pointer for office personnel, and an MP3 music player. May as well count on there being a hex wrench with a snap on case holding the nuts and a set of pliers.
The addition of the 32GB Flash drive and the Bluetooth technology were both added in 2010, to make this even more handy for travelers, even campers enjoy these features. There are some plans to create a version of this device which will be flight-friendly, and allowed to be carried on board air planes. However, don't expect it to have any sharp blades.

Frequently Asked Questions...
i have a 3.2 inch pocket camping knife can is it legal to carry it how old do u have to be 13,18,21? any age?
i live in Pennsylvania
Answer:
Pennsylvania weapons law is very generic. The Commonwealth is concerned with how you are using it. If you use it during the commission of a crime or other offense, you will be charged with Possession of an Instrument of Crime under state law. However, carrying the pocket knife could be prohibited by a local ordinance or disciplinary code of the business, school, or building in which you may enter. At most, a local ordinance can imprison you for a maximum of 30 days.
To see if a local ordinance prohibits the carrying of blades greater than 3 inches, you can look up the code of your local municipality. It will be different for each county and perhaps the larger cities like Allentown, Harrisburg, or Lancaster.
It is legal for you to carry the knife in general, but where you carry it can get you into trouble and if you take it out when it is in your possession, that can get you into trouble as well.
Taking out a pocket knife and holding it in your hand could be interpreted as a display of force under in the Commonwealth and subject you to prosecution for a number of crimes. A knife is a weapon, so you better have a good reason for carrying it. If your reason is defense, you use it in a fight, and the other person doesn't have a weapon, you are looking at a felony aggravated assault or attempted aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person (REAP), possession of an instrument of crime, harassment, disorderly conduct. and simple assault. Getting into a fist fight will usually just be disorderly conduct. As you can imagine, a knife changes everything under the law.
