One of the best multitools on the market, competing with Leatherman’s Charge models. Very solid tool. Negative point – doesnt have straight blade knife.

i’ve been a boyscout for years (gonna say it right now, i don’t agree with some of their policies, but it’s been fun, and i have learned a lot, don’t be hating) and i grew up in a family of handymen, hunters, fishermen, campers, and generally people who carry pocket knives, so carrying a knife, if only a small swiss army knife on a keychain, is pretty much second nature to me. i’m going to be starting college in the fall, and want to know what the general attitude is towards carrying knives on campuses. if it helps, i’m going to montgomery county community college in blue bell, pa.
also, because i know someone’s gonna ask what i want to carry a knife for, i’ll answer that right now.

i’ve been brought up with the view that a knife is a tool, not a weapon, not a toy. i use them for literally everything. sharpening pencils, fishing, first aid (sterilized of course), cooking (washed), if you can think of it, i’ve probably used a knife to do it. if you’ve ever carried a pocket knife, you understand the utility of having one, if you haven’t, you’ve really missed out on something good.

A humorous song in praise of the Boy Scout’s most famous tool, the Swiss Army Knife.

I’m 14 years old. I’ve recently got a swiss army knife for scouts. But away from scouts there has been so many situations where it would have been so useful. I was just wondering if it was legal to carry it around with me. The blades are under 3 inches, so smaller than the legal maximum. I also have NO intent on using it to harm someone. I would just use it as a tool. And also, just to be sure, would it matter if it’s in my pocket and not shown to the public?
