What are the best and brightest consumer electronics, personal productivity tools, gadgets, and gear? Every couple weeks, the Fast Company team will highlight what we think are the best of breed tools you can use.
THIS WEEK...On the Cutting Edge Back when I was in the Boy Scouts, I remember fastidiously sharpening my Swiss Army knife in front of my disapproving dad. Repeating the mantra told to me by Scout camp counselors not much older than myself, I said to him, "A sharp knife is safer than a dull knife." I then sliced off the tip of my finger. Wenger, one of two Swiss companies that make the iconic knife (and which was bought in late April by the other company, Victorinox) has slightly reimagined the knife, remolding the red plastic handle to add indentations for your thumb and fingers. The slightly convex shape of the handle also makes for slightly easier access to the tools, a plus for all you fingernail chewers. The toothpick and tweezers are also located on the inner part of the handle, which makes them more difficult to lose, but more of a pain to take out. |
