Brings a new meaning to gadget wars , i bet the Swiss Army is already tooling up ready to confront this pretender lol

looks a decent bit of kit ..

They missed frying pan. Maybe they didn't have any bacon. What sort of army doesn't have any bacon? Impressive though, I counted at least three functions. Dig, chop and all the others.

Did I say dig already.

And chop?

 

[OG.]

Slightly more useful than the Nato issue - The Nato one doesn't have a ruler, or a can opener (though I doubt how much use that one was really) or cutters for doing wire. Still a bloody useful bit of kit though....

I'm sure i've seen these before , or something very similar anyway from when i was a kid and we used to run around shooting each other with 22 air rifles and throwing fireworks pretending we were all Rambo I'm thinking British Army in WW2 ?

If any one is interested, you can pick them up on ebay from around £50 from the US, and from China of course. Useful for opening beer bottles.
