It’s what every girl needs. Have you ever thought, “Damn, I wish I had a nail file”? Or tweezers or a wine bottle opener?
Chic and compact, the Swiss Army knife is a must-have for every girl’s purse. Form and function define the Swiss Army knife– so well designed it’s been added to the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.

It’s true. The Swiss Army knife is that versatile/practical/necessary and not at all intimidating. I keep mine attached to my keys … If you do this, just remember to remove it before a flight! (Hubby forgot and was quite sad, truly!, when he had to hand HIS over to a security guard. “But you’ll keep it, right? And use it?” If he couldn’t have it, he at least wanted to make certain someone else would use it instead of ditching it!)
love this!
