A Swiss Army knife is something everyone should have rattling around in a drawer or glove compartment. But if you're not into the classic red plastic cladding, Victorinox makes this sexier version in black oxide steel.
The 29-function multitool is 0.7 inches thick, 4.5 inches long and weighs 10.2 ounces, and the company reckons the black oxide finish provides better corrosion resistance.
The onboard tools are:
1. pliers
2. wire cutter for thin and soft wire up to 40 HRC
3. hard wire cutter
4. blade, large
5. blade, large with wavy edge
6. wood saw
7. metal saw
8. metal file
9. reamer, punch
10. can opener
11. screwdriver 3 mm
12. bottle opener
13. wire bender
14. screwdriver 5.5 mm
15. Phillips screwdriver 1 – 2
16. screwdriver 2 mm
17. screwdriver 8 mm
18. strong crate opener
19. chisel 7 mm
20. wire scraper
21. wire stripper
22. ruler (inches)
23. lanyard hole
24. ruler (cm)
At $200 it ain't cheap, but I guess stuff that looks like this never is. One thing the company might want to do is change the name. They're calling it the SwissTool BS.

I have this exact tool in silver; it's a great tool. The tools get a bit hard to pull out overtime. A little oil helps a bit. It's indestructible. If it fails, you send it back and they send you a new one.
