I have four Swiss Army knives, the oldest one is 25 years old, and especially it has taken its fair share of abuse. Still works like a charm. This new one looks as if it's made from even better steel, and its assembly and finish appear to be superior. Its blades lock in with a solid thunk, and the file and rasp are just phenomenal. Sharp, useful, well-made, what more do you want? These are the ultimate knives, and unless you are on a plane, you should always have one with you. Maybe not the big and heavy one, but the one appropriate to the task at hand - even if you just work in an office. There is always something that needs fixing, and these knives do just that. So put one in the car, one in your pocket, and one in the office desk drawer. One for the bike, one for this, one for that, you get the picture...
