If anyone would be able to tell the difference between a "combat" knife and a fucking "pocket knife", you would think it would be the y'all quaeda brigade of Trump supporters. But the fact that they'll buy this shit up in droves despite knowing damn well it's not what it's advertised as just points to how brainwashed these cultists are.
A Pocket knife is one of these: https://www.victorinox.com/de-CH/Produkte/Schweizer-Taschenmesser/Mittlere-Taschenmesser/Swiss-Champ/p/1.6795
I will not accept or tolerate linguistic differences as an excuse, you're being assimilated. Aswissilated if you want so. This is now a pocket knife, everything else not. I have spoken in my full authority as a owner of one of these.
Hope you have a lovely day, fellow pocket-knife owners.
That, good sir, is a Swiss Army Knife.
This is a pocket knife.
This is a combat knife.
and this is a hunting knife.
Outside of the US or at least outside of English, a Swiss Army Knife is known as a pocket knife, and they're not always Swiss-made either. As you can see from Victorinox's own website (and they are the official manufacturer of what Americans call the Swiss Army Knife - which, indeed, got famous because it was used by the Swiss army), they call it a Taschenmesser, where Tasche translates to pocket and... I think you can guess what Messer translates to.
Nah that's a knoyfe
Crikey I feel like over 100 bucks US for a swiss army knife is a bit steep
