That was an......inspired guess CC - There`s no fooling you is there ? :wink:
( I`m sooooo glad that I said `precisely`. ) ( :roll: ) ( :lol: )

Actually, considering what they offer, I don`t think that these Swiss made knives are `costly`........ Very good value in my opinion.

What's the point of the "pocket"-knife/tool ?

The `Swiss Giant` ? Good question. It weighs well over a kilo, many of the tools can`t be used because they`re too far from an edge and it costs just under £500 !
I think its success has been a surprise even to Wenger/Victorinox - people buy them as `collectibles`.
Anyway, that monster is easy to identify - but what about the smaller knife shown first ?

Mack The Knife, you`re very quiet.
Actually this knife isn`t all that easy to identify.
Here`s another picture of it:

`No coconut` or `close but no coconut` is an English expression which derives from fairgrounds where there would be `Coconut Shies` - stalls where you`ld throw wooden balls at coconuts mounted in `cups`. The idea was that you would win a coconut by knocking one out of its cup. A VERY rare event as it happens.
It just means that your guess was close but not correct.
