Legendary Swiss army knives, with
their familiar red handles, are staples in the outdoor world.
High-quality and durable, Swiss army knives have features to meet
any need in camp or on the trail. Single- or double-bladed, the
knife integrates a variety of tools into its design. Depending on
model, your knife may have a screwdriver, can and bottle opener,
corkscrew, tweezers, toothpick, scissors, wood saw and pliers.
Also available are a built-in ruler, fish scaler, magnifying lens,
ball-point pen or reamer. A key ring allows you to attach the
knife to your pack, belt or lanyard. There is also a scaled-down
beginner's model for younger users. Blades and tools are made of
stainless steel. Handles can be stainless steel, nylon,
acid-resistant plastic or aluminum. Color is usually the signature
red with silver cross, but some models are available in bright
primary colors.
Swiss army knives are available
in many price ranges and have all sorts of combinations of
features. You also can find some clever high-tech innovations that
put these knives in a class by themselves. One model has a digital
LCD clock built into the handle. Another sports a digital
thermometer and altimeter combined. Several versions have built-in
flashlights and there is even an ingenious one with an integrated
butane piezo electric lighter. Accessories include leather
sheaths. Replacement pens, tweezers, toothpicks and screwdriver
heads are widely available. To keep your blades sharp, you can
also find a compact pocket sharpener.
Durable, versatile and affordable
pocket tool kits, Swiss army knives will continue to serve
generations of outdoor adventurers. You're sure to find the one
that seems custom-made for you.
