I've worn out, bent, broken, lost, or given away so many of those things, I feel like a freakin' Quartermaster (Army variant).

Can't carry a knife here in Australia, as it is illegal. Swiss Army nifes are fine but combat/survival knives aren't

Anyone else see the irony in that, the land of ol crocodile Dundee.. mr. "thats not a knife"

Anyhow as for the kitchen knifes being used for other purposes. I know if anyone ever EVER touched mine (heck even in the kitchen), I would assuredly skin, fillet, and de-bone them.

I used to carry a Swiss Army Knife that has all sorts of computer repair oriented tools (I am often called on to do on-the-spot IT services when then designated IT staff isn't available). A former co-worker went on a ski trip to Switzerland several years ago and I jokingly said "Bring me back a Swiss Army Knife"; much to my surprise, he did! He said I had saved him in a few pressing situations with my IT skills and the knife was his way of thanking me. I carried the knife for quite some time after that and used it as my main tool for IT repairs. However, after 9/11, security in many buildings became so tight I found it difficult to enter while carrying my knife. This was particularly true in the building I was working in at the time since it was a local county headquarters. I was familiar to most of the guards and they didn't bother me about the knife, but I would run into the occasional new guard on duty and would have a bit of a problem until some other known guard would intervene on my behalf. After a while I just stopped carrying the knife and instead carried a "normal" tool kit. The irony is the kit contained items that were more capable of damage or deadly results than the knife they would not allow me to bring in to the building. I still have and use the knife, mainly at home.
