After a fairly long break from development, BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife) has been updated to version 1.8. The update brings with it some fixes as well as a few new features. If you aren't familiar with BBSAK, it is a desktop utility that allows you to do a ton of stuff for your BlackBerry like wipe, load a new OS, install CODs from your desktop, take screenshots and much more. In my use I have to say it's one of the best ways to salvage your device from the dreaded 507 error. Features include:
A Swiss Army knife (French: Couteau suisse, German: Schweizer Offiziersmesser, Italian: Coltellino svizzero) is a type of multi-function pocket knife or multi-tool. It originated in Ibach Schwyz, Switzerland in 1897. The term Swiss Army knife is a registered trademark owned by Wenger S.A. and Victorinox A.G., longtime suppliers of knives to the Swiss Armed Forces. Generally speaking, a Swiss Army knife has a blade as well as various tools, such as screwdrivers and can openers. These attachments are stowed inside the handle of the knife through a pivot point mechanism. The handle is usually red, and features a Victorinox or Wenger cross logo or for military issue knives the coat of arms of Switzerland.
The term Swiss Army knife was coined by US soldiers after World War II, presumably because they had trouble pronouncing its original name, Offiziersmesser .[1] Sometimes, the term Swiss Army knife is also used metaphorically to describe usefulness, such as a software tool that is a collection of special-purpose tools.
Although red cellidor scaled Swiss Army Knives are most common, there are many colors and scales available.[11] Many textures, colors and shapes now appear in the Swiss Army Knife. Since 2006 the scales on some knife models can have texturized non-slip inlays incorporated, intended for sufficient grip with moist or wet hands. A modding community has also developed, resulting in custom models produced with colorful anodized patterns or wood handles.
