For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Well, yes Theland, my knowledge on Swiss weaponry has been a talking point for some time. As for the correct amount of blades/tools on a Swiss Army Knife rather depends on the particular range we are talking about and of course the pig stabber would not of been one of them as that is an English name not Swiss!!
Come on Theland keep up please!!
And Athley, no they haven't, would you want to go to war with that poxy little penknife? by the time you consulted the manual as to which is the disemboweling blade, you would either be dead or the war would be over!!

You must forgive my ignorance on such military matters, as my little pocket knife (used only in work of course) cost a quid in the market and says, "made in China" on the blade. Iguess that Switzerland and China must have some kind of military pact. Some of the blades on my little cheap impersonation defy the imagination as to their uses.
here we are, just downing a 'Spitfire', lovely.

Lonnie - There you go! I WAS right! Maybe it's to do with the Geneva Convention, where a broken nail could be classed as an inhumane weapon in close combat. The Swiss troopers must be the best presented soldiers in the world, and probably have their manicures inspected on parade!
