Swiss Army ... tool

[Jim Becker]

They make a variety of "tool combinations" already so doing something like this for folks who don't want/don't need/can't have a blade fit into their line perfectly. This is just a "new tool"; it doesn't replace what needed for folks who want/need/can-have a blade.

Wild guess here - maybe omitting the blade makes them acceptable to take on a plane?

Before 9/11 the claim to fame of Swiss Army knives was that they were airplane and airport approved worldwide.

If it goes past the TSA, I’m in. It could be my travel knife. Of course there will be plenty of pointy things that could be a weapon. For that matter, it wouldn’t be hard to come up with some sort of shiv that would pass through security.

Maybe it should be a requirement for the Exit row--so the passenger could torque the door bolts before take-off.

As of a couple of weeks ago, The Royal Mail now has a total ban on all bladed objects.

I carried a pocket knife since age 15-ish - but not Swiss. After TSA took 3 (or 4?) nice ones, I gave up.
