Roman "Swiss" Army Multitool

Almost every geek I know carries some sort of multitool. It might be a Wenger/Victorinox, a Leatherman, a Gerber, or some other smaller company like SOG. It appears, according to this:

That even the ancient Romans carried a multitool on their belts. This one seems to be all about the eating. It has a fork, a spoon, a knife, a pick, and a few other litle things on it. When I was in the Boy Scouts, I had a silverware set that notched together (but pulled apart for actual use), so I guess some things, like compact tools for eating, are going to be a staple of portable gear forever.

Pretty neat.
