Flying from Geneva to Frankfurt to San Francisco, will my carry on bag go through the x-ray again at Frankfurt airport? - Ethnic group of people moving in street

I'm planning to buy some Swiss army pocket knives as gifts at the Geneva airport (there is a store past the security check point that sells it). However, my concern is that when I am in Frankfurt, my carry on will go through the x-ray again, in which case I will not be able to carry the pocket knives with me.

So I wonder if y bag will need to go through the X ray at Frankfurt airport. Thanks!
