5 Promotional Swiss Army Knives To Consider For Promoting Your Business
Swiss Army knives are loved worldwide for their stylish appearance and user friendly functionality. There are many different types and those manufactured by Victorinox are some of the most popular. Here I would like to tell you about some of the options available to you for promoting your brand with promotional Swiss Army knives. It is worth noting since you may be purchasing these for your good customers that all of these pocket knives are backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The Escort Keyring Knife
This is the least expensive Swiss Army knife available. It is a miniature knife on a keyring yet is still has six features including a blade, nail file, screwdriver, tweezers, key ring and a toothpick. Printed with your logo and details, you can rest assured that your customers will have your brand with them wherever they may go.
The Classic SD Keyring Knife
The next step up is the Classic SD. This full size keyring pocket knife has seven features including a blade, nail file, screwdriver, scissors, key ring, tweezers and toothpick. It is only slightly more expensive than the Escort and the additional top quality are worth the expense.
The Spartan
This is the best selling knife and it is excellent value for money. It has 12 features including a large and small blade, corkscrew, reamer, punch and sewing eye, bottle opener, large screwdriver, wire stripper, keyring, tweezers and toothpick. It is really a tool set all wrapped into a nice little package.
The Swiss Card
You may have seen these before as they are very popular retail gifts. The Swiss Card is the same size as a credit card and it has 9 tools to help you through your day. The print area is larger than most knives because of its size. Purchase these for your customers and you will be giving them a letter opener, nail file, screwdriver, scissors, keyring, tweezers and a toothpick. Be sure to remind them to take it out of their wallet before boarding a flight, however, or they may end up in like me in a far off back room of an airport trying to convince three officers that they are not terrorists.
The Rest
I have told you about the budget options, now I will tell you about the other possibilities. There are Swiss Army knives for fishermen, campers, computer technicians, sailors, builders, electricians, you name the occupation, there is most likely a specialty knife for them. Ask you supplier to send you visuals of products that meet your individual requirements.

33 Inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword Review
The 33 inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword is the most exotic looking of a long line of traditional Chinese- made swords that date back thousands of years. The Chinese began fashioning swords made from stone and then bronze, which have been found in many tombs of ancient kings from the Zhou Dynasty, about 1,000 B.C.
The Chinese were the first to develop sword-making practices that also were highly copied by other cultures as evident in the development of the Japanese sword-making from 793 to 1185 A.D. The Chinese began creating iron alloys for sword-making around 500 B.C. creating export weapons that were traded throughout the Far East.
Steel Sword-Making Techniques Developed
The Chinese were the first culture to discover sword-making techniques blending two different strands of steel with separate carbon elements to produce an exceptional hard compound that also possessed great resiliency.
This became the very foundation for creation of Chinese swords that eventually include manufacture of a weapon such as the 33 Inch Chinese Twin Hook Sword. To accomplish the creation of exquisitely fine and effective blade weaponry, the Chinese employed three different methods that included Twist Core, Steel Wrapping (Baogang) and Steel Inserting (Qiangang).
Culturally Popular Choice
As far as Western popularity goes, the Chinese Hook Sword has gained the most. This is due, in part, to its unique appearance and specific wielding movements that make its "live" usage appealing to viewing audiences. Although not a specific "ancient" Chinese blade weapon, the hook sword traces its origin back to the late 1700s where it became popularized through its adaption into several Northern Chinese schools of martial arts training including that of the Shaolin. Several fictional accounts of Shaolin combat practices have been created in recent times including the popular television series, Kung Fu, starring David Carradine.
Two Training Forms
All weapons training in martial arts has a two-fold purpose, the first being actual combat use and the second as a display of grace and finesse. The combat approach displays exceptional hard-hitting techniques while the second produces the visually exciting maneuvers that are typically seen in many of today's modern martial arts productions.
The Shaolin called the weapon a "tiger" hook sword or a qian kun ri yue dao which translates into the Heaven and Earth Sun Moon sword. A Hook Sword is considered a very dangerous weapon due to the number of blades projecting from a variety of directions and should never be wielded by anyone without proper professional training.
Unique Look
The actual construction of any 33 Inch Chinese Hook Sword is borrowed from several sources. The blade is similar to jian style. However, it is usually much thicker. The hook is placed at the tip of the sword where it is well situated for both blocking and grappling enemies but also looks appealing hanging above the fireplace as well.
Since these are often used as pairs, consider obtaining this pair to display in your home in conjunction with many other Oriental weapons you may encounter worthy for you collection. This product is made from black stainless steel and includes a cord-wrapped handle.

What are the consequences if i shot a person in the leg with a .22 long rifle?
I got pissed and shot my friend in the leg with my .22 long rifle. He is pretty pissed and plans to sue me, what are the things i will be facing in the future.
Personal experience talking here. You will be charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. This is the same charge they would charge you with if you had hit him in the brain and he was on life support but had not died yet. It is serious and very expensive. Lawyers fees and fines, etc. However I don't believe you have shot him yet. because the first thing that happens after a gunshot wound is treated at the hospital would be for the police to be called and interview the guy that got shot. The second thing would be for you to get arrested and placed in jail with bond set at around $100,000. Since none of this has happened yet, I can only assume you are thinking about doing it. My advice is -DON'T. It just isn't worth it.

Firing A Flintlock Rifle In Twelve "Easy" Steps
I wonder if we ever consider how easy we have it with modern firearms? Aim,pull the trigger and fire. We even have scopes that allow anyone to hit a target with pinpoint accuracy.
It was not always so simple. In the 17th and 18th centuries, before the advent of percussion ball and cap and long before metal cartridges appeared on the scene, loading a flintlock rifle was an involved process at the best of times. It's hard to imagine how those shooters of long ago were able to perform all that involved business with an enraged grizzly or a determined enemy rushing at them!
Here are the twelve steps it takes to load and fire a flintlock rifle or musket:
1. Bite down on the paper cartridge and tear it open with your teeth.
2. Push the striker (called a <i>frissen</i>) forward and pour a small amount of powder into the flash pan.
<i>The powder in the pan was intended to ignite the main powder charge inside the firing chamber of the barrel, which would then propel the lead ball out of the barrel. However, the spark struck from the flint often caused a quick explosion in the pan which failed to ignite the main charge. This is where we get our expression, a "flash in the pan."</i>
3. Push the <i>frissen</i> back into position to cover the flash pan.
4. Hold the musket with the muzzle pointing up.
5. Pour the rest of the powder into the barrel from the muzzle.
6. Insert a lead ball into the barrel.
7. Push the cartridge paper into the barrel (called the "wadding").
8. Remove the ramrod from its storage pipe beneath the barrel and use it to push the wadding and the ball down the barrel.
<i>This was easier to do with a musket than with a rifle. The musket barrel had a slightly larger diameter, and its interior surface was polished smooth. A rifle had spiral grooves cut into the metal inside the barrel, which made the ball spin as it exited the barrel, thus increasing the accuracy of its flight. The fit of the bullet inside the barrel had to be tighter to impart the spin, so the grooves and smaller diameter made it more difficult to ram the wadding and ball all the way down to the firing chamber. Even though the rifle shot farther and more accurately, its slower rate of fire was the primary reason muskets continued to be used by military units until the late 1800s. Rate of fire was an important consideration in a battle where speed of firing was a matter of life and death. The invention of metal cartridges and breech loading (loading the bullet through an opening at the rear of the barrel near the firing chamber) finally put an end to the musket's dominance in military use.</i>
9. Replace the ramrod in the storage pipe.
10. Raise the musket to a firing position, bracing the butt against the shoulder.
11. Pull back the hammer.
12. Aim and fire.
<i>We've all seen scenes in movies where an intrepid frontiersman, pressed for time by an approaching danger, simply left the ramrod in the barrel and fired, rather than removing it from the barrel and replacing it in the storage pipe. The ramrod then became part of the ammunition propelled out of the barrel when the charge fired. In an extreme situation where those extra few seconds were a matter of life or death, this may well have been done. But unless you had time to recover the ramrod from wherever it flew, the loss of it would render the weapon useless, so it seems unlikely that those frontiersmen made a habit of doing this. Whatever became of the ramrod once it was used, though, it is clear from the steps above that loading and firing a flintlock was far from a simple proposition, and Dan'l Boone and countless other frontiersmen and soldiers who used them certainly deserve our admiration for being able to do it with such a high degree of dexterity and skill.</i>
