This was a semi-decent idea - combining different animals from Switzerland as tools in the Swiss Army Knife. The problem was, Switzerland has no sea access (and no swordfish) and most native wildlife does not lend itself into re-purposing as tools. Fortunately, I had found an interesting tidbit during this research that gave me an idea for...
...in the Middle Ages, Germanic and Nording countries (as well as Romans before them) used to make combs out of horn and antlers. Combs look a bit like antlers (if you squint rally hard). The idea of a deer with comb for antlers sounds pretty interesting, and it would work aesthetically. More than that, I have an idea for the composition of the piece. With the Swiss Army Knife, I only had the illustration in mind, and no idea how to incorporate it. So, unless I will think of something much better, I think this will be the combo (pun unintended) I am going with.
