Swiss Army Knife on a table
Swiss Army Knife

A swiss army knife is a pocket knife that also contains other tools. They are usually red with a cross on the front. They're not so good for carving things because they tend to fold up when you don't expect it.

There are some slightly larger, locking versions available too.

Dove thoughts by LeicesterLass

"I am carved in ice, framed in flame, carried by wind, whispered in waves, and grounded in stone. The strength of ice is in the stillness. The passion of fire is in the heart. The freedom of air is in the spirit. The wisdom of water is in the mind. And the knowledge of earth is in the roots." Dove Hepburn (1980–2025)
