Since 1897, the Swiss Army Knife has been the ultimate pocket sidekick, packing in everything from blades to scissors to wine openers. Some even have USB memory sticks!
“We are in the early stages of developing pocket tools without blades,” a spokesperson for Victorinox told CNN. “With innovation at the core of our brand, we are constantly listening to our consumers and their needs; and acknowledge that there is an appetite for the functionality, versatility, and craftsmanship the Swiss Army Knife is known for in more specialized fields and situations.”
