Swiss Army Knives

I have had these since I was a child and find them invaluable - they are tough as nails and never break. I have lost a couple of them before.

My current one just has the knife, general use screwdriver and bottle top opener, cork opener and the toothpick and tweezers. I've had it around 10 years now.

Does anyone else own one?

Re: Swiss Army Knives

I have several and agree they are way more durable than you'd imagine.

My favourite is the Farmer alox model.

Re: Swiss Army Knives

I used to have one years ago but lost it somewhere. Does the Swiss Army actually use them?

I have an old Camper like this:

I remember my dad had one
He used a part of it to cut, file and clean his nails! He also sharpened my school pencils with the blade

Thats not an army knife
That's a tool box!

Re: Swiss Army Knives

Does it come with bandages?

Re: Swiss Army Knives

AFAIK, it's not meant to be used - it's just a collector's piece - it even comes in a presentation box:



Victorinox is big business nowadays - they even do female fragances:
