What would you put in a Swiss Army knife?

Post by G-force »

After seeing the new knife with a 512 MB flip out USB drive, it got me thinking. What else would be a good and useful thing in an army knife?

Here are a few ideas I got. Please share yours.

Superglue cartridge - How useful would that be?!

A philips screwdriver that is long enough to ACTUALLY fit in the screwey screw hole..

Refillable ibuprofen container - could carry about 5 pills for those people that get annoying headaches all the time (me)

A small MP3 player -Put the ipod to shame.

-large and small blades

-philips head screwdriver

-flathead screwdriver with the GameBit mod

-bottle opener

-can opener

-iPod Shuffle 1gb

-scanner radio (would use Shuffle's headphone jack. No I don't mean a police scanner, I mean an FM radio with the "Scan" button for tuning.)

Man this is one big knife! :P

I wonder if they'll ever let you custom-order one? (Yeah I know, "wishful thinking"... :P)

-Large blade
-Small blade
-Tweezers (missing, but when my dad wears his knife out I'll take the tweezers)
-toothpick
-corkscrew
-tool that makes holes bigger
-wood saw
-can opener
-bottle opener
-flathead screwdriver

I've seen ones with everything from philips-head screwdrivers to scissors on them.

I have like this weird pocket knife (almost like bicostp's but, it's not Swiss Army, and it's completely made of metal!) it has...

1. A knife
2. A saw
3. Some sort of not sharp saw (descaler?)
4. Scissors (which work quite well)
5. Two can openers
6. Bottle opener
7. A primitive needle with hole?
8. Nail file
9. Hole widener
10. Phillips screwdriver
I won it from one of those 25-cent rotary merchendisers in a restaraunt.
