Abstract
The modular pocketknife system is assembled from a number of modules. Each of these modules consists at least of a tool element (12, 13) and of at least one connecting element (8, 11). The modules can be ranged side by side in any desired number and sequence, the connecting elements being provided with an electronic contact element (1) for data transmission, a locking element (2, 4, 5), and a sealing element, so that the modules are fashioned splash-proofly mechanically and electronically interconnectible and lockable and detachable from one another again.
