THE ESSENTIAL NATURE of a Swiss Army Knife is to be multifarious, but complexity is also its fatal flaw. /How many of those gadgets do you use on a regular basis? Wenger helps simplify things with this reissue of its first-ever knife, from 1893. Clad in walnut instead of the usual red plastic, ^> the Heritage 1893 ($500, swiss armyknife.com) features just four different tools. We'll venture to say it's all the pocketknife you'll ever need.
