Do You Own A Swiss Army Knife?

When I was in the Army I got on a bus full of Air Force personnel to drive to a wine fest. They passed out wine and realized they had forgotten a cork screw. "Have no fear the Army is here" and I passed my knife with cork screw around the bus.
Today a carry one of the small ones. FYI......it fits in the old squeeze type change purse I carry.

I do now own a small, genuine Swiss army knife, and it was obviously a lot more expensive that the imitation ones I had previously with many gadgets on them, but they broke pretty quickly.

Can't say I carry it everywhere but I do use it quite a bit, and am always annoyed if I get stuck when I don't carry it for some reason. I do occasionally lend mine to a friend for a short time, but feel a bit protective of it and whether it will be returned straight away.
 

I have been collecting knives for 45 years so yes, I have three Swiss Army knives but rarely carry them as I have lots of other knives to carry and I rarely need those tiny tools on the knives. If I need something like that I will carry a multi tool which is more practical.
 
I've got a pretty basic one. It has a corkscrew, so I use it about once or twice a year to open a bottle of wine. Other than that it just sits in a kitchen drawer.

And I have a little lock blade case knife that I keep on my key ring. That one is pretty handy especially for opening that almost impossible to get into plastic packaging that a lot of things come in now.

I had both of them for many years. I don't think I spent more that 12 bucks for either of them. I'm not much of a knife person.

I would never even think of using a knife as a weapon. That's what guns are for.

"I suspect the knife may represent veganism solving the issues presented on the tools simultaneously, much in the same way a Swiss army knife my be used to do a large number of different things."
