I use a pair of seam ripping scissors that I got in a fabric shop.
Very light and they work way better than those itty bitty scissors that
come on swiss army knives. I've used these seam rippers to cut mole
skin and they work like a champ. If you choose to go that way, then
you might end up being able to go with a knife that is just a knife.
Lots more options to choose from in that arena.<br>

Well, I like the idea of a locking blade....i've never had a knife with
that feature, but after nearly amputating various parts of my body
while trying to perform other tasks with my knife, it seems like a
valuable feature. Gotta have nice scissors too. Can get by without
all the other stuff except what I mentioned earlier. I may have to
bail on Victorinox and try Wenger. I'll research it. I've already
reviewed all the Swiss models. (Not THOSE Swiss models, guys....).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

hi gail,<br>
i carry a wenger securite'. at least that is what it's called now. it
has a large, locking blade, nice set of scissors, can opener, bottle
opener and nailfile. it also has an awl, corkscrew, toothpick and
tweezers. i've used nearly all of these tools backpacking. the bottle
opener has a flat blade screwdriver on it that i've used to open my
bear container, the awl i've used to clean the holes in my alcohol
stove. i bought the tiny screwdriver to put with the corkscrew so i can
change the battery in my photon flashlight in an emergency. you can see
all of the swiss army knives at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.swiss-knife.com">www.swiss-knife.com</a>. i hope this helps.<br>
