Had this since the 1980s; bought on hols in Interlaken. Still have the tweezers and toothpick.
Need strong thumbnails to lever some of the tools out.

I'm guessing it was for sales reps to show the shops what went into making up a knife, I've certainly not seen another one.

Whilst not a pocket knife, this is made by Victorinox:
The blade is 20” and the whole thing 31” long

PM me your address and I can sort some out for you. There are two sizes, the lengths are both the same, but the heads are slightly different depending on the size of the knife. I think I've only one size but if you tell me how many you need I will post some to you.

My colleagues gave me a SAK as a present when they got shoot of me. Mostly because I was lucky enough to come up with solutions to problems on life's highway.
It was later confiscated by NZ Airport Security. Miserable sods.
At the very same moment I was meeting my prospective daughter in law.
Arguing with a jobs worth whilst meeting the love of my son's life didn't go well.
I know, for me I was being restrained with the twerp. She decided I was insulting her entire Pacific nation.
Sort of never got any better after that.

From the mid-1980s to 2007, I could legally carry a gun in my state, but carrying a knife was highly restricted, and if it had a blade over 2" long, it might be a felony. (knife laws were complicated)
No Leatherman tools or Swiss Army knives, unless you shortened the long blades somehow, and even then iffy to legally carry in some places.
In 2007 the Legislature voided most of the knife laws. You can carry anything from a cigar cutter to a Klingon bat'leth if you want. [pepper spray, tear gas, clubs, axes, war hammers, spears, Tasers, and silly chopsocky movie weapons are all legal now too] But I never got back into the habit of carrying a knife again, even though one would often be handy. The amount of "stuff to carry" has pretty much reached my limit.
