For a £5 (or less) item, I don't blame them.

Can't put a price on heritage!

I used to always have a swiss army knife on me when I was a boy. Running about cutting the living daylights out of wood and stuff! But these days I have no need for it.

Genuine Swiss Army Knives can cost much more than that, however the fakes, not really

Depends if there was suspicion of intent to use as a weapon I guess.

Worst case the station could corroborate why he had it and why he was carrying it at the time.

I cannot think of many things you would want such an item for even when away from populace. Camping, I get. Cycling, why?

Never been stuck in a situation where you really could have done with a screwdriver/pliers/scissors/pin?

Minus man-points for you young lady!

I used to have a Victorinox "cybertool" which had all sorts of useful wizardry on it, 4 & 5mm socket (perfect for motherboard risers and PCI card brackets), 4 & 5 mm allen keys, pen, hole punch, screwdrivers. Most useful piece of kit ever - carried it in my backpack whenever I was on my bike (every day at work & college), never even thought twice about it.

I fashioned a phillips head screwdriver out of a small stone once, that was the luckiest day of my life. Man points for me...
