Surely the pictured knife has a "sharp blade"? I must admit the "and/or", did throw me.

Might be just me but why would anyone want to take a knife on a plane.

to peel an apple, or halve an orange.
To clean your nails.
To fix a stuck IFE remote.
To remove a loose thread from a garment.
To remove old flight luggage labels when changing flights.
To use the toothpick.

There will be many more, these are just things I have done, usually with a Swisscard.

It's not that you would want to use it on a plane but to allow you to travel with hand luggage only. A Swiss Army knife is fairly essential when backpacking

Yep.....I feel lost without my Swisscard.

I realised in the cab en-route to LCY that I had my SwAP on my keyring; so I gave it to the cabbie with a label on it in the futile hope he'd leave it in the office!

Then forgot about it for 3 months...

... and popped into the cab firm... to find my prized toy in their bits n pieces drawer!

Phew

In SE Asia I'm sure you could find a cheap knock-off on a market stall or in a 7/11 and then chuck it or give it away before you come home.

Well whadya know, on Sunday for the first time in over 10 years I actually had by hand luggage inspected by security, at Schipohl, because of my Swisscard, they didn't confiscate it, just looked at it and put it back.

I blame this thread :rotfl:
