Yeah they really need better names than Shot, Doer, Dog and Doe Cosmetics. :facepalm:

Oh wait that was just a typo :D
Good marketing!

I can't understand so many hate to Swiza :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:It all started out when they just launched and called themself "the new Swiss Army Knife"...
Very sad
P.S.: Victorinox and Wenger also have many stupid names, models and tools.
I may pick up a SH04, but only because it's OHO and Swiza's typical size is about the same thing as 93mm. In my collection is exactly one D04. The Phillips doesn't work, and the awl is an accident waiting to happen. I've cut myself with it a ton of times.Your experience is different than mine. I’ve had good luck with the Philips. The few times I’ve used the awl it’s been fine. I don’t like the can opener but the other tools have worked well for me.

:dunno:
Should've known better...
I don't think people hate the Swiza brand.
I just think not everyone sypmhatises with them for their marketing move.
Just like some people dislike Gerber for their "end-all-multitool, be-a-true-man" marketing.
Because removing ticks with the same knife that you make your sandwiches with is gross :rofl:
Because removing ticks with the same knife that you make your sandwiches with is gross :rofl:Yet you don't seem to have a problem to use the file on that same knife to file down your toe nails, or even worse, use the tip to get the toe-cheese from under your nails ... (or even worse still, same situation but on a knife you bought second hand ...) :think:
If you can read German, and still don't facepalm after this: buy a Swiza asap.

- There is no evidence that Lyme disease is transmitted from person-to-person. For example, a person cannot get infected from touching, kissing, or having sex with a person who has Lyme disease.
- Lyme disease acquired during pregnancy may lead to infection of the placenta and possible stillbirth; however, no negative effects on the fetus have been found when the mother receives appropriate antibiotic treatment. There are no reports of Lyme disease transmission from breast milk.
- Although no cases of Lyme disease have been linked to blood transfusion, scientists have found that the Lyme disease bacteria can live in blood that is stored for donation. Individuals being treated for Lyme disease with an antibiotic should not donate blood. Individuals who have completed antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease may be considered as potential blood donors. Information on the current criteria for blood donation is available on the Red Cross websiteExternal.
- Although dogs and cats can get Lyme disease, there is no evidence that they spread the disease directly to their owners. However, pets can bring infected ticks into your home or yard. Consider protecting your pet, and possibly yourself, through the use of tick control products for animals.
- You will not get Lyme disease from eating venison or squirrel meat, but in keeping with general food safety principles, always cook meat thoroughly. Note that hunting and dressing deer or squirrels may bring you into close contact with infected ticks.
- There is no credible evidence that Lyme disease can be transmitted through air, food, water, or from the bites of mosquitoes, flies, fleas, or lice.
- Ticks not known to transmit Lyme disease include Lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), and the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus).

I'm not stopping you guys to get a ticktool and go for it :D
My mom has been diagnosed with Lime's... too late.
She's been slowly recovering partialy for the last 6 years, and still has a long way to go. I'm not taking any chances and will just carry a seperate €2 tick tweezer in my pack. And no, not in the same place as my SAK.

Edit: I'll read further replies, but I feel as if I'm kicking the hornet's nest here. Feel free to PM me! :tu:
I'm not digging deeper into the subject.

Sorry to hear about your mom Nick, I have a few family members with Lyme disease and it really is quite nasty.
But did we tick you off? Geddit...? :facepalm:
The four things guaranteed to flare up a forum thread...

Swiza
:D
For me the looks is all wrong. I don't like the curved body and I dont like tools with holes though them. Compared to a victorinox or Wenger they look cheap to me.
I hope they make a go of it but I find it hard to believe they are selling at an economy of scale sort of rate. I so miss the weird Wenger Saks and I'd support anything new like the business tool or anything like that.
I might be wrong but aren't a lot of ex-Wenger management and employees involved with Swiza?

The term Swiss Army Knife at this point in time is a generic term for a type of knife in a certain category.
It may be be used generically but Swiss army knife is a current trademark held by victorinox and still actively defended.
That's just name semantics though. I haven't bought a swiza for esthetic reasons only. I think the design is poor. I hate the curved body and nail nick holes. It's a cop out that cheap knives do to keep production cost down since adding nail Nick's adds more steps. I need to see some actual innovation like Wenger of old did to get excited by swiza.
Not only knife but any versatile multi-use all-you-need item. And not only item, but software too. I searched 'Swiss Army Knife' at https://play.google.com and I found couple of hundred apps that the authors call 'swiss army knife'.
If I were swiza. 1/4 inch bit driver that takes part of the handle to save space like the alox marlin spike. I know alot of people want that.
