Mine WAS a teeny-tiny, hot pink (of COURSE!), genuine, Swiss Army knife
with scissors, tweezers, a toothpick, a nail file and a even a small
knife blade. And it rode on my keychain.

They kept taking them off me every time I had to fly in an aeroplane (a
1.5 inch blade?? come on!) so now I don't carry one.

My latest, favorite pottery tool is a kind of sponge that feels like a
REALLY THICK Chamois (about 3cm thick). I'm currently using it to give
my pots a final whip after removing most of the glaze from the foot and
lip of my pots.

It drys really cool too; gets all hard on the outside but stays soft on
the inside (kind of like Tony Clennel)

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."

U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore Roosevelt.
