Favorite Swiss Army Knock-Off

I'm guessing we all have a few: Neither Original or Genuine but just Swiss-Army Like -- which among your Swiss Army Knock-offs is your favorite?

Mine is an easy choice. It is a a CCM made 108mm GAK. I traded a Camillus "US" utility knife and GI issue Baseball Cap for it. When I was stationed in Germany. The German I was trading with also wanted one of my Unit Crest but I had to the draw a line on that one. I told him out be out of uniform if I gave that to him!

Another picture of the CCM 108mm GAK and my other EDC at the time, A Camillus Mk. Fighting knife.

My Vic 108mm GAK (top) and my CCM 108mm GAK bottom. The Victorinox is later model with the file on the saw blade. I bought it several years later.

I just bought some of these made by Tool Choice as a variation for an EDC. Will have to find my other non-gen Swiss Army knife, has black scales and is a 32 bit kit from memory. I do have original Swiss floating around somewhere from my old Scouting days that I found in a tree out bush not long after I became a cub so I would've been roughly 8 - 8 1/2 and had it since.
