Things to do with your new Swiss Army Knife

Now that I have a SAK, I really wish I had things to do with it. I have actually used it a few times:
  • using the screwdriver to remove the elbow supports from my swivel chair
  • using the knife to cut open a milk carton so that it takes up less space in the garbage
What have you used your Swiss Army Knife (or other multitool) for?

  • Cutting my own arm off when it was trapped beneath a boulder. Wait. That wasn't me.

  • Killed a man in Reno, just to see him die. Wait, that wasn't me either.

  • I used the magnifier of the knife to enkindle my smoke...

  • This weekend I used it to open and close the lid locks on the bear-proof container we used on a hiking trip in Olympic National Park. And I could have used it to kill the bar that tried to get the food, but luckily for him he left before I got there...

  • at one of my first grad seminars, i used my leatherman to cut open a box of pastries that the people at the bakery obviously didn't want anyone to have. unfortunately, i also forgot to take it off my key chain before boarding a plane. sigh.

  • Hi Eric - Sounds like you are longing for your old leatherman.
