[pct-l] KNIFE?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I use the Swiss Army Classic. I like the scissors. I hardly ever use  
the knife. I use the nail file a lot. I think the scissors and nail  
file are the main things. Nothing drives me more insane than having a  
fingernail that snags on my clothes or sleeping bag. I've used the  
nail file to open my Garcia bear canister and I've used the scissors  
to cut my nails. I have used the scissors to cut some dental floss  
which I used with a needle to sew my shoes and my pack. I've used the  
knife to cut cheese.
