When all you have is a knife, every problem looks like a wine bottle cork that you should have tried removing using a proper corkscrew first instead of playing mac gyver to impress the room
Well, shit
I suppose you could sabre the neck off with the 25mm blade on your Victorinox Classic to look cool. But if you had a Victorinox Tinker you could just use the cork screw that is on the knife........
I think I’m beyond help at this point. When I’m not at work I EDC a pocket knife, a leatherman, and a Swiss Army knife. Probably overkill but I’ve never been in a situation where I thought “I wish I came less prepared to this”.
I've cleaned a moose with my pocket knife.
Are you Jordan Jonas?
This is like when you go round someone’s house for dinner and they ostentatiously get out the “Japanese steel” to chop the vegetables with, which you have to ceremonially bloody on your palm every time it comes out of the block. Later you see the shitty little serrated knife they normally use while helping load the dishwasher.
probably, they used the "shitty little serrated knife" for something that needed serrations.
Just because you have a nice Santoku, doesn't mean that you won't be using other knives for specific purposes. Our Nakiri cuts nothing but vegetables, fruits, nuts and herbs. I won't use it for anything else.
I have knives that only cut apples for decades now.
Not everyone’s climbed to the top of the forbidden peak to learn the correct Zendatsu technique from Kendo Nagasaki to use those holy tools though.
I miss doing iaido. I still have my practice sword though, that shit was expensive
Or unwrapping Xmas presents.
but mine has tritium on the handle!!
I used my swiss knife for the scredriver, the mini scissors and the bottle opener. So everything but the knife when i think about it, the knife is basically the opinel, because it's better as a blade. I like that it's not spring driven.
i use every tool on my Mountaineer, but the hook. I've never used that hook.
Who needs that hook?

You can rip apart an Amazon box with your baby toe, those things are made to be easily ripped up. Tell that to my neighbours though, the shared recycling bin is always overflowing with uncut Amazon boxes
I'm usually like, ooh, I have a Swiss army knife in my pocket. And another on the keychain.
...Except when I'm home, the keys go to the tray and I switch to indoors pants, so when I actually need the damn things I usually need to take extra effort to go grab them anyway.
I keep a folding utility knife on me for just that reason
I have a tiny Leatherman and use it all the time
