Why the hell does my swiss army knife have no nail file or hook? (i don’t care about the scissors). This was 92 australian dollars.
>>61584640>Why the hell does my swiss army knife have no nail file or hook?because you bought one without a nail file or hookI'm about to buy a new one to replace my leatherman squirt. can't decide on the swisschamp or handyman, but I'm leaning toward the handyman even though it's more expensive for less tools
Because they come in multiple different varieties and you need to choose the right model for yourself.
>>61584646they were only selling these ones irl, im also irritated theres mo saw
>>61584640>AustralianYou bought the wrong version cunt, put the kettle on for the officers coming to confiscate it. You should have bought the new Australia-legal variant without the blade.https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/07/swiss-army-knife-maker-to-produce-version-without-a-blade
>>61584667We really should just sell Australia to China. They’re a weak and lost people. Maybe some Chad Chinamen can bring some masculinity back to their country.
>>61584667what does the UK have to do with australia?
>>61584703I'm just fucking with the guy, but can you believe that we live in a world where some nations are so disgustingly domesticated that it's considered a weapons offence to carry a dinky little Victoranox blade
>>61584640go to the airport unclaimed items auction and buy a bag of knives for like $30 anon. you'll get about 20 namebrand and offbrand pocket knives, leathermen, switchblades, etc
>>61584715You're both different flavours of bong to me. But in all seriousness I just happened to see this story at the same time as this post, and Australia also has cucked knife laws from what I've been told
>>61584640swiss army knives are toys for children to play with
>>61584667>ban them knoifs to seif som loifs mate>crimms start using sharpened screwdriversHow long before londoners are required to have a spoon loicense?
>>61584728Men find having handy tools on their person useful, but I'm sure you wouldn't know anything about that
>>61584727Not allowed to carry them in your pocket when out, that's it. Pretty cucked, but not bong cucked.
>>61584738I can literally wear a gun in my waist band if I want and not have to tell anybody and if someone tries to knife me i can take it out and shoot him until he is dead and then tell the cops this fucker tried to knife me and they'll be like good job buddy and i wont even go to jail.
>>61584738>not bong cuckedI mean sure, you can have a pocket knife collection that bongs can't, but what's the point if you can't take them out of the house
>>61584735>swiss army knife>toolyou might as well carry a nailclipper
>>61584740>Hey did you know that America has guns?Yes burger, we know
>>61584728The keychain swiss army knife is the only knife I've ever benefited from carrying in a day to day manner that wasn't a full on fixed blade useful for actual work.
swiss army knives and multitools are gay as fuck, the only guys who use them never actually use tools. always pocket protector white collar types.>nah bro I totally have to manually stitch together pieces of leather with my awl regularly.lmao sure, the only thing anyone ever uses on a multitool is the blade and the pliers. You might as well carry a real knife and a real set of pliers, at least they will actually work instead of being cucked dogshit that can't even break a 1/4" nut loose.
>>61584798>You might as well carry a real knife and a real set of pliers>Instead of something convenient you can literally hang off your keychainIs this bait or are you catastrophically retarded? Also the screwdriver on mine has come in handy more times than I can count. I use it almost any time at the range for making zeroing adjustments and whatnot
>>61584811pic related is a set of pliers that's infinitely more capable than any multitool pliers. You can find videos of guys breaking up to 1/2" nuts with them.>screwdriverokay so get any of the billion pen sized pocket bit drivers. also better than a multitool since you have actual reach and don't have to awkwardly twirl around an off center driver attached to a gangly multitool.
>>61584798You sound insufferable and desperate to justify some 400 dollar pocket toy, my 20 dollar swiss knife just works for light tasks, I have dedicated tools for serious tasks.
>>61584740Sounds like a very functional society.
>>61584821I'm sure those are great, but why switch when I have all those things in one device that already lives in my pocket? I don't know man, hating Swiss army knives just seems like a weird thing to be passionate about, lol. Like the other guy said, they're for light tasks and they get the job done for me
>>61584867That anon obviously just turned 21 and got his CCW and is feeling an artificial confidence high he didn't have before. The post reels of it
>>61584798I guess it depends on the culture, in some countries it's some kind of collector's item, in western Europe it's just the knives we carry and we actually use. They're some of the best corkscrews around, the wood saw is perfect, scissors see heavy use, nail file is always nice... and it all fits in your pocket.Sure the bigger models with tons of tools become kind of useless, but simple ones are perfect.
>>61584887*reeks
>>61584897lol, half the tools on that are just to get at sealed food.
>>61584908>lol, half the tools on that are just to get at sealed food.and they are also utterly inferior to pic related for that task. talk about a keychain tool lol.
>>61584908You wouldn't open pic related with a knife and pliers, it's a cultural thing, Swiss army knives are designed as an all-around tool for Weestern Europeans in the outdoors.Now explain how your knife and pliers help you at KFC.
>>61584963I carry this when I go hunting, it cost me $10. It has a notch so you can open the skin on the belly without poking guts and getting stomach acid and shit on your meat.As for the tools you say are so helpful, the bottle opener is shit since there's no leverage, you may as well put the base of the bottle in your shoe and knock it against the wall until the cork comes loose. The can opener is so shit you might just be better off bashing it with a rock, and if you need a dedicated opener to open a bottle then you have failed as a man.
>>61584963>You wouldn't open pic related with a knife and pliersHow much of a booze hound are you that you need a dedicated tool in your pocket at all times to open wine bottles? How many times have you needed to open a wine bottle when a regular corkscrew was not immediately available?And you can still open them with a knife regardless lmao, you just need to stick it and walk the cork out.also easy to do bottles, pic related.
>>61584982>The can opener is so shit you might just be better off bashing it with a rockthe best way to open a can without an opener is to grind the top against concrete/asphalt/a flat rock. You pretty quickly abrade the rolled bead away and the lid lifts right out.
>>61584740>the fuckers family won't sue >the legal costs won't drive you into bankruptcy >you shit lawyer won't convince you to settle instead of taking it to court if you are going to CC, make sure you've chosen a lawyer that can unfuck you before you go and fuck somebody up
>>61584997>also easy to do bottles, pic related.you can open 2 beer bottles on each other
>>61584982>the bottle opener is shit since there's no leverageYou talk shit but if you need leverage, you're a failure of a human being. You literally don't need leverage.>>61584997There is no such thing as a "regular corkscrew", Swiss army knives are perfectly fine and some of the most common you'd find.Today is a public holiday in most of Europe, to commemorate the ceasefire of WWII, and we'll spend most of it sitting by a river, with a bottle of wine, drinking and talking long after the night falls. Swiss army knives will once again save the day.
>>61585058>Today is a public holiday in most of Europe maybe in eastern Europe. only the frogs celebrate it in the west, are you a frog jean-pierre?
>>61585072Actually it's the 9th in the east, because of timezones.
>>61585058if anything, all your posts have only proved me right lmao. white collar poindexter who only uses his multitool to open bottles of booze.
>>61584798i use my bundeswehr multitool solely for the bottle opener, cause its cool as fuck.t. construction monkey that also carries pliers
>>61585145And you're a mall ninja who goes to KFC with a $400 survival knife and pocket pliars.Swiss army knives see more use than yours regardless.
>>61584997Just open caps with a lighter like everyone else
>>61585175Burgers are just jelly of our rad knives.
>>61584640Get the Huntsman next time dickhead, only faggots & sailors need a nail file.
I have owned pic related for almost 10 years and use it so often (at least 2 or 3 times a week) that sometimes it feels like I am being gaslit by people who ask "what do you need a multitool for?". I've even used the hook several times, for both its intended purpose and just getting simple leverage over thin things that I might need to pull on.I think the only tool I haven't needed is the awl, but I understand why some would want it.
>>61584651>wengerewww
>>61584640who needs em?
>>61585145Good thing he got a cheap swiss army knife then and isnt being bullied into overspending like some insecure larper who projects onto others.
>>61586964overspend on what exactly?
>>61586925>marlinspike now that's based
>have one of those bulky "everything" swiss knives>the scissors broke in half ages ago>the compass broke off ages ago>the knife blade has gotten chipped at some point>some tools don't snap shut anymore>the awl is too loose to use>lost the toothpick ages ago>the nail file has always been shitI must have had this thing for over 30 years. All in all it's been pretty good and still sees some use.
>>61587752>awl is too loose to usewrap it in a washcloth and use a pair of vice grips to squeeze the scales together in the middle, over the central pin, until the awl will lock out tight again. it doesn't take much pressure at all and you can easily overdo it but its a simple fast fix
For me its openers, file, knife and phillips
>>61585802My favorite are the people who ask why you have one AFTER you use it to fix something. I really dont get the 'y do u have a knife?' crowd, worse than antigunners.
>>61587752fyi you can ship it back to victorinox and they will restore it for you for a very small fee, perhaps even for free.
Bought this beauty for 5000UAH, it is very good screwdriver set, and also pliers and scissors. I even use blades sometimes too!
>>61584723Hes an aussie, thats the equivalent of trying to buy guns from a police evidence locker
>>61587947I highly doubt that.>Victorinox may require you to provide proof of purchase to demonstrate a valid warranty claim.As if I still had the receipt of a small purchase made in the 90s>The Victorinox Lifetime Warranty does not cover any defects due to normal wear and tear, cosmetic damage, damage caused by improper handling, damage resulting from abuse, misuse, negligence or accidentsTheir warranty doesn't seem to actually cover anything
>>61588113i've sent mine in before and i didn't have proof of purchase. if the service cost is under a certain amount, they do it for free.https://service.victorinox.com/default.aspx
>>61586976Bullshit someone who knows themselves better than online strangers doesn't need.
>>61588580such as?
>>61587863The small tip on the can opener also functions as as a #1/#2 phillips head, so I always get the corkscrew instead. The bit driver SAKs these days are tempting
>>61588787Corkscrew just seems dumb, besides good wines just use a screw top to prevent the wine getting corked
>>61587752The parts are easy to find and there are youtube vids to show you how to repair them, done it myself a few times.
>>61589093Corkscrew can hold stuff like mini screwdriver bits, ferro rods/tinder, etc.
>>61584723Huh. Never even considered that.
>>61591181>>61590970yeah. that shit is cool. There's a guy on YT that mods Spydercos to add SAK parts and stuff, the cockscrew is good for lots of stuffI used to use mine to carry about 30 feet of fine wire for quick repairs when camping
>>61584640>australian>dumbassAbo?
>>61584703>We really should just sell Australia to China.SO much thisBefore the WuFlu I always thought of Aussies as are bad ass 2nd cousin. But when they bent over and let Daddy Gov fuck them 6 ways to Sunday I realized they are weak ass beta cucks.
>>61587954Is it possible to back pocket-carry this or do you need a pouch?
>>61593959They were weak faggots the moment they unanimously handed over their guns to the Howard government due to a false flag shooting.
>>61584963You can definitely open a wine bottle with a small knife. Its not ideal, but its doable.
>>61584738so you can only use your portable multitool where all of your normal tools are stored?
>>61591410>>61590970
>>61596479I went overboard with the SAK accessories lol
>>61584719it doesn't even have a lock for the bladeyou'd cut your fingers off trying to stab with it
>>61596512who am i going to stab with a letter opener
>>61584640Because you bought a version without them.
>>61596479>>61596485how is that fireant tinder working out for you? does it still hold its shape after heavy edc?
>>61594734>Is it possible to back pocket-carry this or do you need a pouch?I do not carry anything (except handkerchief) in my /back/ pockets, because it will break when I'll sit on it.You definitely can use front pockets for it (it smaller than Nokia phone), but I use pouch anyway to keep it clean.
>>61584912I get poked by mine every once in a while but its worth it.
>>61596479fantastic thumbnail, it looks like someone sitting on a lounge chair with left leg crossed over the right one
>>61584798>the only guys who use them never actually use tools.I mean, I don't see how that's surprising, that's like a huge part of the appeal. White collar tool for a white collar tool.Mind you I feel the same way as you, but specifically regarding the pretty useless pliers from Multitools.
>>61596485I riced my huntsman with titanium scales a few years ago, was suprised at how easy it was.I love the old school swiss cards, always carry one in my wallet, very handy.Are the fire kits worth doing?
>>61584997>How much of a booze hound are you that you need a dedicated tool in your pocket at all times to open wine bottles?Not that big a boozehound.People keep forgetting to bring corkscrews. And even when you're at someone's house, they usually don't prepare a corkscrew in advance and it'd take 15 minutes of thrashing around the kitchen to get one out.
>>61588787was just going to point this out>>61589093>good wines just use a screw top>mfw
>>61596885I stopped carrying the tinder everyday (I live in the city). The pouch for my SwissChamp is very tight, so I did see some wear on the malleable tinder pretty quickly from taking it in and out all day. I only carry the emergency tinder when I'm innawoods. >>61598830It works just as advertised. It's a bit pricey, but I love knowing that I have multiple means of starting a fire and a great tool on my hip if I ever get separated from my gear/camp. There are a few things to keep in mind when using the Firefly (the toothpick replacement ferro rod) and the Fireant (spiral ferro rod) so that you don't break them or wear them down the wrong way. Just watch a couple youtube videos.But yea, it's nice having 2 emergency ferro rods and tinder always on my hip when innawoods.
>put $75 worth of gold into a $25 knife>charge $300 for itDo boomers really?
>>61587660>marlinspike>now that's basedCorkscrew works well too on knots for cordage. Spike of course is better for thicker ropes.
>>61602432I almost forgot, the Swisschamp can also start a fire with the magnifying glass.
