If the official Swiss Army knife comapny were to release clothing, say a branded polo with a free gift knife, nobody would have said anything about it. LIke i say blown out of proportion, remember it isnt a knife that stabs somebody it the person who does it!

found this on www.swissinfo.org,swiss brand not swedish,
makes sense since it was a freebie and switzerland are associated with their longlasting and heavy duty multipurpose pocket knifes so nothing "gangsta" over it, they could just as well attached a cheese or a bar of chocolate to the jackets...or a goat:

Swiss jacket with knife pulled from shops

A discount retail chain in Britain says it has removed Swiss-branded jackets from its stores after learning that a pocketknife attached by a chain was included in the purchase.

T.K. Maxx said it removed the Strellson Swiss Cross coats from sale as soon as it became aware that the coats included the promotional gift.
Britain has seen a recent spate of knife attacks, particularly among young people, leading to street protests against the crime wave.
A total of 27 teenagers have been the victims of fatal stabbings in London alone this year, which is already higher than the total for 2007.
Last year, a T.K. Maxx assistant was stabbed to death at work in a store north of London. The retail store is owned by Massachusetts-based TJX Companies Inc., which also owns United States chains T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.
Strellson Swiss Cross is a brand of the Swiss-owned clothing company Strellson, with headquarters in Kreuzlingen. The story of the Swiss jacket with the concealed knife has made headlines in British tabloids."

oh yes dumb! 100% agree.
the other day (3 weeks ago) the block across my street was "shut" by the police due to some knife related fight. Some guy got stabbed during the day. Scary!!!It is coming closer and closer what it seams.....

by my post i didn't meen it is a bagatelle, only that the swiss brand didn't think about it in that way I think.
more like as if a Italian jacket comes with a bottle of balsamic vinegar or a dutch with some clogs....or pot.

Seen the latest bit of PR for TK Maxx - they were selling a walking stick which turned into a 20" sword. I do wonder why the people purchased a walking stick (it didn't say anything about someone not being able to walk easily). I wonder if they wanted a bit of publicity (the family) and maybe returned it and then purchased it later?
I've NEVER seen walking sticks in any TK Maxx before!
