Hope I'm OK posting this here. It's a knife and it's said you can shave with it. Take some skill though..
This was my old swiss army knife I had as a kid (1980s) and if you see any going at car boot sales ect maybe grab. Plus look out for vintage razor's. Both are very collectable..
Problem with these is the scales go bad and some make some tidy replacements but not cheap.
I just picked up some hardwood and using my electric sander got at it.
Then I cut by hand to shape with Stanley knife and finally finished sanding by hand.
I serviced knife. Stuck on wooden scales with polymer mastic from DIY (£4)
Oiled the wood.
Walked out in the garden and took this picture.
Now the question you want to know is can you shave with it?
Well I believe so and I've decided to try but maybe the easy bits going easy just for interest. The knife is well sharp.
Not a razor as such but a restoration project..
Mods move if wrong area to post.

Wenger SAKs had wider main blades (with "Wenger" embossed on the tang - bit of giveaway!), more hooked can opener, spring loaded/serrated scissors (i.e. superior to Victorinox type) and 83mm in length.
Update.@Johnny Beeblebrox
Nail file
Spring sissors
Lock on the flat screwdriver.. Omg! I never knew that. It has too
I carry in best ruck sack and been handy especially on days out.
Scissor mostly and Mrs used nail file a few times
Most Evos can be bought here (may be slightly cheaper elsewhere and sold out nearer Christmas)Is the Evolution 16 available in UK?
Also carry a cheap AAA battery pen light over winter with that dark this time of the year.
SAKs could never be called a multi purpose tool IMHO (and I have many of them!).Personally, I gave up on pen-knives years ago, for multi-purpose tools.
I migrated first to Leatherman, but once I had the Gerber Legend (bought for a right steal in a PX in Doha for $35), I haven't needed anything else.
My only gripe is that 21 years later, the case is fooked and I can't get a proper Gerber replacement without buying a new tool for circa £120!
