Did You Know The Swiss Army Knife Is The Best Pocket KnifeThere Is?
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.
Because of its intent, there is a main blade and then a smaller secondary blade. The original also had a corkscrew, a can opener and a bottle opener. There is both a flat head and Phillips head screw driver, nail file and scissors. Other tools include a saw blade for wood, a file for metal, a hook to tighten the shoelaces of hiking boots.
As technology presented additional needs for human conditions, some additional tools have been added. Tweezers and toothpick were found to be handy, and a fish scaler were added for assisting with enjoying and preparing food that was caught in the wild. When on maneuvers for many months at a time, survival meant hunting and fishing to stay fed, and alive.
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.
If all those tools were not enough, a few more were included to make the Swiss Army knife even more practical. A hex wrench with bits and carry case were added, along with pliers. These could be used to help build shelter from the wind and storms by using the pliers and hook to lace through rain slickers to create a roof like lean-to.
The computer industry took it toll on this product and made it possible to have a USB flash drive on the device, along with a digital clock and altimeter. You can even get a laser pointer, LED light and an MP3 player with these devices. The hex wrench and pliers have been found useful in maintain related computer equipment, while traveling.
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.

**Hardware**
* PlayStation Vita review: "It offers the most power, the widest variety of
input methods, and the most convenient method of getting new games, of any
handheld system in history."
**Games**
* _Uncharted: Golden Abyss_: "... though Uncharted: Golden Abyss brings a
little too much reality to Drake's day-to-day by making him polish artifacts
in gimmicky touchscreen nonsense, there's still a good, if formulaic,
adventure to be had." ★★★ 1/2
* _Little Deviants_: "So ... you get a virtual house filled with square-
headed cats. You can't do anything with them. They just sit there. " ★★
* _Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3_: "Even with the trouble I had pulling off
combos, and the frustration of feeling lost and alone in the lobby, I still
think this is an amazing port in many respects. _Marvel vs. Capcom 3_ is a
game I would ...
