Anyone catch the TV program on the History Channel -
"Axes, Swords and Knives" in the Modern Marvels series?
There's one more screening in about an hour's time - at least where I am at 2AM EST Friday August/15 -
I caught the tail end of the program - there was quite a long section with Charles Elsener of Victorinox, talking about the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife.
Here are the details in my TV Guide area:
2:00 AM Channel 52 HIST Friday, 15
