The new and improved Swiss Army Knife
Victorinox, the maker of the original Swiss Army Knife, has been granted approval by the government to make a new series of the Swiss Army Knives for the...... Swiss army!

Victorinox hopes the Swiss government will agree to allow the new knife to be available for retail business as well.

Here a picture and story of the new army knife:

I'm disappointed that the new knife was not equipped with an izmel blade.

I think the mini-saw would cut through just about anything.

Well, the young blades might be, but they dull with age...

"They dull with age"

That's incorrect. They dull from wear and tear.
