Victorinox Versatility
I used to have a 'Swiss Army Knife' when I was young, lost it long ago, and have just ordered another.
In the intervening time, the web has happened, and it turns out there are a vast multitude of pocket-knife enthusiasts out there discussing their preferred EDC ('Every Day Carry') penknives, arguing over which manufacturers use the best steel, and, even within the Victorinox fold, debating the relative merits of the Mountaineer, the Rambler or the Super Tinker. Victorinox have dozens of models to choose from, and, though there are many other options — I'm a big fan of my Leatherman Wave, for example — the company does seem to inspire particular loyalty.
But if you have one of their larger offerings and have been wondering just why you might need the little hook, the awl (or even, these days, the corkscrew) then you might enjoy this example of the kind of helpful material now available for those wanting to make the most of their EDC.

Mesmerising! I may have to get one. My last one was nabbed by airport security about twenty years ago.
I have had one with me almost every day for the last 45 years and I learned lots of new uses from that video, thanks.
Happy days - I use to carry one of the more basic ones with me everywhere. Keeping the blades clean and sharp was always a bit of an issue.... At some point I became aware that it could also be classed as a 'weapon' and left it in the cupboard. Mind, I now have so many tools that cover for the lack of just one penknife!
