My problem with the Swiss Army Knife has always been that it was a pretty lousy knife—the steel used for blades was hard to sharpen and easy to dull. Back when you could still carry a knife when you traveled, I would carry the Tourist, which had a bottle opener, corkscrew, tweezers, toothpick, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and two useless blades.
I carried a Opinel ringlock knife for actually cutting things, like sausages. I'd say that when you actually have to carry an extra knife to do the stuff that a knife is supposed to do, a company ought to call its product something else.
