the original multopurpose Sgain dubh

[GMan]

Interesting, the original Swiss Army knife is from the 1890's but the multi-tool Sgian Dubh has silver hallmarks from 1874. Yet another invention that came from the Scots but for which the credit has wrongfully been claimed by another group, in this case the Swiss.

Just goes to show the influence that was brought on to the entire world, by the Scots.

the above mentioned tool should be called
