The World's First Roman (Swiss) Army Knife

The world's first Swiss Army knife has been revealed, made 1,800 years before its modern counterpart. It features a spoon, fork as well as a retractable spike, spatula and small tooth-pick. We are fixing things with multi-tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and so on, But this Roman predecessor is more useful for enjoying the pleasures of food. The tool includes a spike which historians think was used to snag snails out of their shells. A hook-like spatula is thought to have helped coax sauce out of the bottle.

The tool was found in the Mediterranean area nearly twenty years ago, so technically it's not Swiss at all, and it predates the modern Swiss Army Knife, invented in 1897, by nearly 1,800 years. Know More about this Roman Army Knife Here.
