Swiss army knife? What company makes the "real ones"?

[BigToque]

Is it Victorinox?

My girlfriend has always wanted one and since she is leaving for India for 5 months in 2 days, I'd like to get her one as a going away gift.

Wenger also produces genuine Swiss Army knives.

These knives are awesome. I just got one yesterday for a 30 year award where I work. Just some of the features: pliers, scissors, magnifying glass, toothpick, tweezers, ballpoint pen, eyeglass screwdriver, three other screwdrivers, two knives, etc.

Edit: Is there a need to worry about it being confiscated by security or going through an airport customs?

Should I get her this one?

That thing's a monster. I'd get her the climber, explorer, or mountaineer from the Outdoor selection of knives.

Jeez, if I stuck that in my pocket and tried to get it out later, I don't think I'd have much of a hand left. I personally prefer multiple simpler pocket knives rather than something with so many things. It just makes it harder to fix and easier to break.

just put it in your luggage and never carry it to the cabin.
