You can compute the cost using the fold-out solar calculator, then pull cash out of the built-in money clip. There's even a helpful heat and massage system to soothe muscles worn out by carrying the beastly thing. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The little Swiss guy is included only if you have a numbered Swiss bank account.

Can someonw tell me why Swiss ARMY knives are the most PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. friendly, do not look like a military device, etc.?

I know, the rounded ends, red color, etc... but really, wouldn't the name alone make it less PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.-friendly?

I think that people have been exposed to camp/Swiss Army Knives for a very long time. Many individuals likely associate these knives as tools and therefore are viewed as “friendly”. People who might not carry a fixed blade knife or a knife of just blades will very often carry a SAK. Pete
