What kind of stuff do they actually come in useful for? They'll talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual...and they're scared.

I bought mine in Switzerland though, and overthere they're dirt cheap compared to The Netherlands - or any other country for that matter. Have a question on this topic... I always wonder why people would bring along a heavy and bulky pocket knife/tool with 2000+ functions. I don't think I've ever used more than the knife itself, the cork screw and the tweezers. Scissors would probably come in very handy as well, (my knife doesn't have that function though...) So my opinion is: go for a simple model. The ones with many fancy gimmicks are expensive, you'll never use the extra functions, and it'll probably break more easily as well.
