Swiss Army Knives - Silly Knife Poem by a Gadget Lover By Lisa Gunther At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

I've had a Swiss Army knife with me since I was a college student. I had to have one when I went off to college. I guess it was something about the "be prepared" feeling a Victorinox swiss army knife exudes. That knife is long since lost, but I foundly remember it. It was the Mechanic model.

These days I carry a pink classic on my key chain so that my keys are easy to spot when on my desk or in my purse. I also have a yellow one in my desk drawer just in case I can't find my pink one. Or, maybe someone needs to borrow a little pocket knife in an emergency.

Anyhow, I wrote this goofy little poem one day when I was thinking entirely too long and hard about swiss army knives:

Kill a bear
Chop down a tree
My Swiss Army Knife
Is there for me

Clip your nail
Open a box
With my tried and true
Victorinox

Boy Scout pal
Officer’s friend
When you need a tool
It’s what you send

Up in space
Down on the ground
It’s in your pocket
And can be found

Always there
When times get rough
There’s never a job
That is too tough

Stainless steel
Red cellidor
When you need to cut
There’s nothing more

Open some wine
And pop a cap
If there’s a party
Drink in a snap

Plug it in
To USB
Transfer documents
So flawlessly

MP3
And a laser
Show your girl your knife
You’ll amaze her

Whatever else
Could possibly
Be the coolest thing
For us to see?

When it rings
I will not roam
I’ll just flip open
Swiss Army phone

Swiss army knives are perfect gifts for everyone on your shopping list. The Classic model is small and will fit on anyone's keychain. It features a key ring, small blade, nail file with screwdriver tip, toothpick, tweezer and scissors. I find the scissors to be especially handy when I need to clip my nail or cut a little string off my clothes. The most popular colors for the Victorinox Classic include the red 53001, pink 53005 and black 53003 models. But you can get a classic in these colors as well: assorted rainbow tie dye colors, yellow, camo, blue green, white, grey, purple and with white flowers on them. The Classic even comes in sterling silver models which rival the finest pocket knives available at places like Tiffany.

Someone that fancies a larger model should definitely look at the 53501 Red Swiss Champ. That has been the most popular large knife Victorinox has ever made. It has a lot of stuff packed into it without it costing a fortune. It runs about $68 to $75 online. Those that want the Champ on steroids best take a look at the SwissChamp XLT.

There are several hundred models of swiss army knives to choose from. The best approach is to think about which features you must have and then pick a knife with those features. Some people can't live without scissors, others really want pliers. A small pen really comes in handy on the Signature models. It's up to your taste and budget which one you pick.
