Pragmatic Swiss Army Knife (link) by Gabrielle Schueler​


"This multi-function knife that’s been clattering around on my key ring for nearly three decades may not look like a Swiss Army knife, but that’s what it is. Over the years, the red outer casings with the iconic logo came loose and fell off. They formed the compartments for the toothpick and tweezers, which are also long gone. Only the sturdy metal core remains".

"This model is called the Tinker. It has a Phillips-head screwdriver where other models have a corkscrew — a very pragmatic choice. I have used every tool on it except the wire stripper and the reamer. The blades have been used for cutting lunches on the go, sharpening pencils in art class, and even for cutting a clean edge on sheets of paper when an X-Acto knife wasn’t handy. I’ve enjoyed using the can opener the most, because it creates a dangerously rough edge that makes for a bit of drama when the office can opener gets misplaced".

I found the tin opener blade of my Swiss army knife most useful in dislodging it so I could slide the ends on and add the frames to a hive into which a swarm has moved. I also had a nibble of the propolis, a taste I like better than honey"! (Continue)

I have a few. I‘ve changed layers (blades / tools) to get the exact combination I want. It’s not terribly difficult to do with most sizes. Drilling the rivets out correctly is the most difficult part of the conversion.
