Do you use a swiss army knife?

^ as the title says

If so why & what do you use it for?

Any of you used one for computer work?

I'v used the file as a screwdriver for hdd screws

Gilly · 11 Mar 2007 at 22:41

No.

Could probably do with one though.

Martins · 11 Mar 2007 at 22:43

I /have/ one, but I only use it when I go out camping

LizardKing · 11 Mar 2007 at 22:45

I have the credit card sized one, comes in suprisingly handy a lot!!

lay-z-boy · 11 Mar 2007 at 22:48

Got loads from OEM manufacturers they are handy for opening packages and attacking something.

I use it to stab people.

One of the 2 sentences in this post may be a lie

I've got a Victorinox Swiss Champ, and it's fantastic. The Phillips screwdriver is perfect for case screws and I've used the wirecutters / pliers for various bodge jobs.

I've also got a Leatherman Micra that I use day to day, just because it's a lot smaller than my Swiss Champ so therefore goes everywhere with me.

Yes - I use a Cybertool at work and take it everywhere with me.

I have another two as well just standard ones, one in the home and another in the car.

Always owned one since I was about ten years old.

aye i have swiss army knife...and it does get used for the majority of my pc work...i should really use proper screwdrivers, but its going out to the garage vs reaching for my desk, swiss army knife usually wins unless a screw decides to be annoying

also very handy when those annoying to open parcels arive

pyro · 11 Mar 2007 at 23:04

I have one and I do use it daily

Greenlizard0 · 11 Mar 2007 at 23:04

I never used to have one but I have multifunctional card thing that fits into your wallet with knife toothpick file tweezers etc.

But since I'm out and about all the time I'd rather not be carrying a small blade.

oh never take it out an about...pubs in lynn are prone to searching and id rather not have that temptation to stab a chav after a night out. As much of a benefit to society i may have been, its still illegal to kill chavs

I had a multifunction penknife years ago, it had a spoon as well as the usual knifes, horseshoe thingy etc. Odd. Don't know where it is now.

You just never know when the need for a spoon will occur.

Though here in France people seem to prefer huge single bladed knifes.

CHUDS · 11 Mar 2007 at 23:17

reasons for owning one
- opening parcels with it
- kniving folk
- just to look cool
