Do You Own A Swiss Army Knife?

They are handy! Why, it was only the other day when a local boy scout performed a emergency brain surgery procedure on a fellow scout! Swiss army knifes are commonly used to perform lobotomies I am told! Would I kid you? Naw!!
 
Yes, I have several, plus a half dozen assorted Leatherman's, 10 or 12 Gerbers, several Buck knives, two Schrades, and about 5 Cutco hunting knives.

I have a "thing" for good quality knives. I have no China made knives that I know of. If I find a China knife, I keep it long enough to walk it to the trash barrel.

I have one but don't use it. I have found that multi purpose tools are just about useless for any of the tasks they are supposed to be able to do. The right tool for the job at hand works best. I have a Gerber which I use most and a couple of other knives.

Are some Gerber knives made in China Larry?
 
I never owned an Swiss Army kife. I remember back there somewhere wanting one of their pen knives. The best I could was a 1950s model Boy Scout knife.

Yes, I've got one. When my children went to university, I bought them a Swiss army penknife each. Well, I figured that it had all they would need to survive - a knife, a can opener, a bottle opener and a corkscrew! On another forum, an irate parent called me an irresponsible parent because in all likelyhood my daughter would probably get drunk at a nightclub and end up killing someone. I wasn't going to stand for that, so I took my Swiss army disintegrater ray gun and zapped him.
My daughter didn't end up killing anyone, but she did get a first class degree, a scholarship to study for her Phd, a prestigeous fellowship and is now a senior university lecturer. Such is the power of the Swiss army penknife.

A sneaky way to brag about your daughter, but I think that's great. Congratulations! I'm sure you contributed much more than a Swiss army knife to her success.
 
I've had a few over the years. You don't need the big bulky ones. Mine just has a couple of blades, an awl, screw driver, bottle opener, cork screw, and tooth pick. Not as bulky as my car keys.
