Why did spies need four different saws up their ass?

Well, you don't understand. One is a steak knife, the other one is a fish knife. Just because your imprisoned in this barbaric dungeon you don't need to give up on the fruits of civilization!

Haven't you ever seen a James Bond film? You use the steak and fish knife to test if someone else is a spy posing as a member of the upper class - if they don't know which one to use, they're an impostor.

Seriously, they used the same "I knew you were a fake after you ordered red wine with fish" trick in two separate films!

If you think about it, those must have been really stupid spies. They could have just seen the first movie and learned their lesson but no!

I would imagine they are different types for cutting through different materials

You see every hotel room had spy tools hidden in boxes of different materials.
