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
