Hi my 12 yo kid would like a MacGyver style swiss army knife. But I can't find one...
Does anyone know where I can get one that's cheap and half decent?
Thanks

Not hard to find, eg:
https://www.huntingandfishing.co.nz/victorinox-soldiers-knife-official-swiss-army-issue.html
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
When I was about nine or ten, I was desperate to have a ‘pocket knife’. They had some in the local general store.
My mum said “No, you’ll cut yourself”.
“No, I won’t - I’ll be careful”.
“You will”.
“I won’t - I promise”.
Etc etc.
Eventually my parents gave in and, after I had had the knife a few days, I cut myself and they took me to the doc for stitches in my finger.

did exactly the same thing as a kid , i still have the scar running through the centre of my thumb 45 years later, still blame the parents for giving in lol.
Common sense is not as common as you think.
Looks like torpedo7 has them too.

thanks we're off to torpedo7!
about the fingers and toes .... it's on SWMBO
Go with the first one though - you haven't lived until you've opened a tin of baked beans with a swiss army knife then eaten straight out of the tin with a knife blade ;D

There are two companies that make the official "Swiss Army Knife" and Victoriknox seems to be the more popular brand.

thanks all.
just in case someone wants to buy the torpedo7 $35 dollar one, it's a mini pocket knife, about 1.5-2 inches long. get the ones that start fr $45 and they're the 4-5 inch ones.

You can get them pretty much anywhere, e.g. Mr.Minits have them...
