Step right up, folks - you will never need to buy another Swiss Army Knife (or any other tool) for the rest of your life once you get your hands on this baby! It has 85 different attachments on it, including a laser pointer - very handy when you have to give a PowerPoint presentation on the Matterhorn! Of course, they don't mention that keeping it in your pocket is likely to cause severe imbalance, with the predictable result of falling off whatever sheer rock face you happen to be rappeling down at the time. No worries - I am sure there is a climbing tool included in the knife for hooking into solid rock. After all, it is Swiss.

WHO the frack would put that pocket knife in their pocket, anywhere near bodily parts near and dear to them?!
