That second pic, of the 3-headed mutant Swiss Army Beast lying on its side is almost sad, like maybe it's dying. Also almost NSFW, with that extra "leg" where it is. I would buy one of these.

I would have thought there was some post-modern irony attached to them, being that many of the charming animals depicted have traditionally met their doom or have been eventually skinned via knives. However, after reading I guess they're just little cute Animal Army Knives. I was eager to read about the inspiration behind these knives.
