101 Gadgets That Changed The World

Has anyone seen this show on the History Channel? It was a pretty cool show. Popular mechanics actually made the list up. They of course had a SAK and a Leatherman, among the other 99 items. They spoke a little bit about each. What bothered me is that they showed a scissor from a Victorinox, looking like it came out of a Wenger knife, or was it the other way around? (I can not remember) They had one behind the other one, and for some reason purposely showed the wrong scissor. I had to stop and replay it to try to figure out why. You can just about make out that there was one behind the other. They didn't really speak on the mechanics of the scissors or anything like that. I posted a link to the 101 items. You wont see the knife they showed on TV, they actually show an XLT on the website instead.

I found it weird, and I blame Grant.

Seen that show (the same one) a bunch of times. Its been on TV for years. Victorinox and Leatherman both deserve to be on the list.

I hear ya. I thought it was a newer one because the smart phones were on it, etc.... Either way I still blame Grant
