Swiss Army Knives are cool, very practical, and like a toolbox in your purse or pocket. Now they are even cooler in these special and limited-edition models.

Swiss Army Knives are as iconic as you can get, handy for opening mail and packages, or cutting a sandwich in half in the breakroom, but they can be a lot more. Limited to 12,000 pieces worldwide, the Swiss Spirit adds laser-engraved walnut scales as well as a unique box opener blade. Designed for first-responders, it should be in every car’s glovebox. The fluorescent yellow, glow-in-the-dark handles make it easy to find when needed, and the glass-cutting blade, seatbelt cutter and glass breaker can be life-savers in a car crash. Tucked in a briefcase or purse, the classic Super Tinker lets you “MacGyver” your way out of any jam, with screwdrivers, an awl and scissors. The tiny Recruit is a must-have every time you leave the house, with two blades, handy tweezers, a bottle opener, a wire stripper, and a toothpick to make sure you don’t have bits of food in your teeth during your power lunches; Victorinox.com.
