After doing some research, I have come to the conclusion, that Swiss does not make a specific sharpener for this knife.
The Swiss Army Knife was designed for the Swiss Army to be a pocket tool for opening supplies and for looking after their service rifle requiring therefore a tin opener, knife and screwdriver. Additional tools are scissors, bottle opener and tweezers.
Perhaps manufacturing, they do make the Swiss Army knife which is produced by SWIBO and that product is known around the world.
The best survival pocket knife to buy would easily be the Swiss Army knife, and the largest version that they make. This survival pocket knife has every tool in which a person could need in order to survive on their own in the wilderness.
I am enjoying a delicious Swiss cheese sandwich for lunch.

A swiss army card is some kind of multi-tool - but in credit card format. Usually swiss army cards come with the following tools, but it may depend on make and model: scissors, pen, screwdriver, needle, ruler etc.
My collection of old Swiss Army knives is extensive.

Swiss Gear doesn't actually make their luggage. They contract it out to different manufacturers to make it for them on their behalf (most brands do this actually). I've had a couple Swiss products (other than their amazing pocket knife) and the quality differs by a lot depending on where, when, and what you got. If you like Swiss and want quality, might I suggest Victorinox luggage? Previous Answer: its heavy , and not really practical for traveler, its only has a brand doesnt mean its good, swiss gear is specialist for knife not luggage
