Swiss Army Knifeless..

[PeteXXX]

A bladeless knife/tool is being developed, plus a knifeless tool aimed (not literally) at cyclists.

NB This one does have a blade.

What's the date?

Mine got confiscated by NZ security.

I think it's a good idea. You can still get a traditional one if you want a blade, but one without blades and with more "tools" would be handy for cycling or to keep in the car maybe

It's a little sad that it's necessary but from Victorinox point of view it is a good business idea. I'm a fan of SAKs and if it had the right mix of tools I'd be interested in a cycling tool with Victorinox quality. I'll still carry a small compact traditional one every day, dependent on context, as long as I'm legally able though.

“We are in the early stages of developing pocket tools without blades,” a spokesperson for Swiss firm Victorinox told CNN in a statement Tuesday, adding that they will compliment the existing range of multi-tools rather than replacing them.

I accidentally took my small SAK in my backpack, from UK to Portugal in an aeroplane. It didn't ring bells at security, nor was it spotted during a search!

They do make a bladeless one, the Jetsetter.
For bike use, I use a blade to ease flint shards out.

 

[Drago]

I don't know why they're bothering. My hands are registered as lethal weapons all on they're own.

Or rather than looking at them as being "bladeless knives" or anything daft like that, simply look at it as Victorinox expanding their product line into multi tools.

I have several cycling multi tools and none have blades.

Surely most of us have a cycling multitool.
Which is basically a load of tools packaged into a Swiss army type shape.

I also did the same; packed a SAK in my first aid kit. Armed guards in Sri Lanka searched my backpack but didn't notice the knife. When I left the airport I threw the knife away!

TBH the knife blades on my Swarmy knife get barely any use and i doubt i'd miss them if they weren't there.
The corkscrew on the other hand...

The corkscrew is only useful for storing the mini screwdriver. As a specs wearer that's nearly the most useful tool of them all!
Wine you say? They all have screw tops now don't they?

...

err... nope.

The corkscrew is prohibited in some jurisdictions due to its pointiness. Following the current chain of logic, the ultimate legal Swiss Army Knife will be reduced to just a handle!

 

[Dadam]

err... nope.

The stuff we drink does!
