Jimshaw member Registered: 10/22/03 Posts: 3983 Loc: Bend, Oregon	After testing several knife/scissor/cutting edges on this trip, I have decided to carry my victorinox swiss army knife again as my standard camping tool. Its a full sized one with 2 blades, a saw, scissors, cork screw, and screw driver bottle opener. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> 3.7 oz. The scissors are preciscion enough to cut a hangnail. The two blades are just slightly sharp. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Jim <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ These are my own opinions based on wisdom earned through many wrong decisions.
