Swiss Army Knife-ventures & A Carhartt T-Shirt Giveaway

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Victorinox Swiss Army. All opinions are 100% mine. There are several tools which are invaluable to a farmer. nike air huarache avis Many people would think we would list a pitchfork, pick up truck, or a tractor as invaluable items (and those are all very nice), but what should one keep on-hand? If you were to empty the pockets of a farmer (and in many ways that is exactly what this country has done, but that is for another post at another time), what would you find? More than likely: a Swiss Army Knife. I know you want to know more. After all, there’s a Carhartt t-shirt on the line.

According to my husband, an active duty soldier in the United States Army and a farmer, he doesn’t go anywhere (except maybe the airport) without a pocketknife and a lighter in his pocket.

He’s not the first soldier to appreciate the versatility and all-around handiness of a Swiss Army knife. nike air max 90 homme It turns out that U.S. 6 s iphone case soldiers used the knives during WWII but couldn’t pronounce “Schweizer Offiziers-Messer” (Swiss Officers Knife) so they nicknamed the Swiss multi-function tools the “Swiss Army Knife.” Swiss Army Knives are also showcased in the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Swiss Army Knife was also MacGyver’s signature tool/prop. (Remember him? What a guy! *swoon*) And so concludes our little history lesson. It’s great to learn because knowledge is power!

  • Andrew Odom - I must say that I love both the Swiss Army knife (although I do have a Case that I adore….wedding gift, mind you) above the Leatherman’s tool and other various gadgets. However, when Swiss came out with the 4GB Ruby (features a USB) I was smitten. I now have one and find it to be the perfect tool for a hobby farmer/IT guy. hahahahah!

    Great post and for the love of Peter, Paul, and Mary…put down the video cam!ReplyCancel

  • Thy Hand - I was given my own little swiss army pocket knife as a going away gift when I left to study in Mexico for five months. I used it to peel fruit, cut things (scissors) and even got to use the tweezers on some splinters. I keep it in my purse, now, in a hidden compartment. I just feel better knowing I have it along.

    Great giveaway! Thanks:-).ReplyCancel

  • Steve Garver - Swiss Army knives always struck me a a cheap tool that fortunately had a bottle opener for the cheap bottle of wine in college. Looking at their website changed my mind.
