I went and got my old DVDs of Home Alone 1 and 2 to watch with SwissChamp. I decided to snap a few pics of the screen showing Kevin's new Wenger. Only $23.50 along with the silly string dragon and a big map, what a deal! Cool that a toy store carried them too. Remember when every kid used to have one?(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)My heart broke as he dropped it on the pavement and than left it there after not even having it for more than a minute. RIP.Oh man, why did he drop it??? I'm going to have to watch now.

Sounds like MacGyver could learn a lesson from Kevin McCallister!
In the movie Behind Enemy Lines, Owen Wilson uses a SAK to unscrew the film pack from the jet wreckage before being rescued.
any idea what model?
In "The Great Escape" James Garner tells Blyth the goons didn't appreciate some of his belongings, such as - and procedes to slip a large Swiss Army knife out of his flight jacket.

The Package. Gene Hackman uses the bottle opener/screwdriver on a 91mm Victorinox to switch license plates.The Peacemaker. George Clooney hands Nicole Kidman a 91mm Victorinox to disarm a nuclear device. She snaps the main blade in the attempt.Lethal Weapon 3. Mel Gibson uses the scissors from a 85mm Wenger to cut the wrong wire on a bomb.The Martian. Matt Damon uses an orange Victorinox Hunter Pro in several scenes.

Thanks, so it actually is possible. But it sounds like something I will never be able to do
As mentioned before, Wes Anderson often features a SAK of some kind in his films (Rushmore, Royal Tenembaums). Here's my fave (from the excellent Moonrise Kingdom) - a custom stag handled one: (funny reference to the Shawshank Redemption included and employee monitoring ).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFwX78_Er7c
