Plus it take full size Hex/Torx heads... And good and solidly mad with lifetime warranty.

Or if you want one to beat a users head-in for disturbing your /. reading, try the Victorinox Swiss Champ XLT

How long before victorinox starts selling swiss army knives without any type of blade? If they did, would they still call it a Swiss Army knive?

Presenting ... The most pointless(!) knife in existence! AKA the Swiss Memory USB Air Travel.

Features are :
* Weight - 33g
* Length - 58mm
* Red translucent handles
* Red LED light
* detachable USB storage device
* ballpoint pen
* Supplied with USB extension cable

Why? Seriously, just... why?

And yet the damn thing STILL hasn't got a bloody corkscrew. The only reason that I still use my old crappy swiss army knock-off is for the corkscrew. For everything else, I use the Wave

Seriously, with the latest craze for putting bit-drivers in multitools, how much work would it be to have some sort of corkscrew-bit? You would have to anchor it someway before removing the cork but c'mon! Can't be that difficult, can it?

Instead, there is this craze of fitting more and more useless crud into a multitool.

My opinion is this : If it won't be of use in ten years time or if it won't survive being dunked in soapy water or if it takes up so much space that a seperate unit would be more efficient then there is no point in putting it in the tool.

That means no memory cards, no LED lights and no bloody lighters

Otherwise, you end up with something like this monstrosity!

The Victrinox XXLT has both crimpers and wire strippers. And a pharmaceutical spoon. Of course, they're pushing the limit of "pocket" knives...
