Did the Swiss army ever win a war?

Published 2/19/07

Yeah, your Swiss Army brand Swiss army knife might have a zillion blades and screwdrivers and corkscrews and such, but it’s got nothing on the Gerber Multi-Plier 600 Pro Scout DET.

Why, you ask? Because in addition to the standard pliers, wire cutter, can opener, and the like, the Pro Scout DET also includes a blasting cap crimper and C4 punch.

And who among us hasn’t said at least once, “Dammit, base! I can’t stop the explosion without a #@$%& C4 punch!”

Oh now I have got to have one of those… My old Gerber is looking a little baron now.

Actually, it’s “Dammit, base! I can’t start the explosion without a #@$%& C4 punch!”

i thought the swiss were neutral. i’ve always wondered what they would need a swiss army *anything* for? do they sell an accessory kit containing the c4 and blasting caps?
