Uses of a Swiss Army Knife

[mudman]

I love my Swiss Champ. Had it for about 25 years now and have used just about everything although I still have to descale a fish.
Not sure which would be most used, maybe the ballpoint pen as evidenced by the fact it's empty now, the pin was more useful than you'd think, although sadly lost, and the magnifying glass is getting more use these days what with aging eyes.

I have an Alox bantam in my wallet most of the time. Yes, primarily I use it for opening Amazon deliveries, but also beer bottles, digging a splinter out (cant recommend this) and very lightweight screwdriving on occasion.

For some reason an Alox swiss army knife always reminds me of my Dad. He's not dead mind, in fact he is coming round later. But it still reminds me of him.

Ive had the Victorinox Forester for almost 30 yrs and its always in my pocket when Im out in the countryside. Ive used the tweezers for picking off ticks, the toothpick for unfurling the malformed wings of newly emerged damselflies, the braddle/punch for tapping the sap from Birch trees, the blade for cutting sheets of onduline to make reptile refugea and in Slovenia it was the only tool myself and Henry Rockcliffe used to make fire using it to cut a bow/drill and hearth. It took bloody ages, but we won in the end.  And of course, Ive used the bottle opener and cork screw shit loads.
