The Swiss army one is multifunctional (8)

I believe the answer is:

penknife

(Other definitions for penknife that I've seen before include "whittling tool" , "Small folding pocket blade" , "Pocket cutter" , "Handy little gadget" , "A Swiss army one has several blades and many tools" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
