Last year, the Swiss Armed Forces decided to update their standard-issue pocketknife for the fourth time in . . . 117 years. Seven suppliers submitted bids, but Victorinox Swiss Army took the prize. Meet the new Soldier: one-hand serrated locking blade, three screwdrivers, and a wood saw that can hack down a small tree. Best of all, the knife won’t lose its grip in cold or rain, thanks to a curved, dual-density handle ($58; swissarmy.com).
Do you have a gear crush these days? Let us know in the comments area below.

The glassy aquamarine waters turned a churning brown and we were forced to move back from the stream bed. Monsoon rains in the Grand Canyon are nothing to mess around with.

I don't know why you're so up in arms about this knife, NatGeo Adven. It's been out for literally 2 years and been out for 10 years as the "Trekker."
...Old news, NatGeo Adven.

That looks bad-ass. Though probably still useless.
