    The ultimate pocketknife to take on the camino

    Last year I walked on the Camino Frances for almost 6 weeks and staying in Albergues. I did not bring any knife and I never had any use for it. One time I needed a sicsor(?) and I asked the host in the albergue for one. For me a knife was just extra grams, nice to have but not nessecary thing.
