I am 99% sure that you haven’t given the hobby of whittling any though in the past year. You probably haven’t even done it since you were in the Boy Scouts. But, whittling is a cheap and fun pastime. All it requires is a stick, your Swiss Army Knife, and some imagination.
Maybe even a quick 5 minute YouTube guide. Within no time, you’ll be happy you started doing this hobby. You can display your new works of art, give them out at gifts, or even use them as musical instruments like a recorder. The possibilities are endless.
3) Keyring
Most of the smaller Swiss Army knives have a keyring on them. With this, you can put all of your keys on it, saving valuable space inside your pocket. It can even save you time that would be dedicated to searching for your key.
4) Screw Driver
The nail file in the Swiss Army knife may appear to only be useful as a nail filer, but it has a hidden talent. The tip of it can be used as a flat head screwdriver.
If you immediately need to screw in something, then all you need to do is whip out your nail file. It really is quite simple.
5) Scissors
Standard Swiss Army knives have a scissors function. These are scissors that are much much smaller than normal scissors, but are still just as useful. They can cut most types of paper, tape, and other materials.
6) Tweezers
The tweezers inside of a Swiss Army knife can dig out many small things like splinters. I sometimes use my when i have to remove small parts inside my computer.
7) Toothpick
Annoying piece of food stuck in your mouth? The toothpick found inside the Swiss Army knife can easily remove this from in between your teeth.
I also use this when I have to remove the SIM card from my phone. It just slides right in and out pops the SIM card.
8) Magnifier
If you’re having trouble reading or seeing something small, a magnifying lens may help. Most Swiss Army knives have one of these, so you can read the fine print with ease.
9) Flash Drives
Some of the newer fancier Swiss Army knives even have USB flash drives on them. Now you can easily transport your files to and from different computers without having to deal with the over complicated Cloud.
10) Ruler
Not all Swiss Army knives have one of these, but some do. The ruler inside isn’t a large one; it measures in millimeters. However this could still prove useful to anyone in a trade that requires measuring small objects.
Some men may actually need to use a ruler of this size to measure their smaller tools. Of course, this may not apply to all men.
