Things to do with your new Swiss Army Knife

Now that I have a SAK, I really wish I had things to do with it. I have actually used it a few times:
  • using the screwdriver to remove the elbow supports from my swivel chair
  • using the knife to cut open a milk carton so that it takes up less space in the garbage
What have you used your Swiss Army Knife (or other multitool) for?

    Cutting my own arm off when it was trapped beneath a boulder. Wait. That wasn't me.

    Killed a man in Reno, just to see him die. Wait, that wasn't me either.

    I used the magnifier of the knife to enkindle my smoke...

    chris, devp - for your sakes, I'm glad it wasn't you.

    mrnic3 - good stuff! Wish mine had a magnifier.

    cboone - interesting two uses!

    This weekend I used it to open and close the lid locks on the bear-proof container we used on a hiking trip in Olympic National Park. And I could have used it to kill the bar that tried to get the food, but luckily for him he left before I got there...

    at one of my first grad seminars, i used my leatherman to cut open a box of pastries that the people at the bakery obviously didn't want anyone to have. unfortunately, i also forgot to take it off my key chain before boarding a plane. sigh.

    Hi Eric - Sounds like you are longing for your old leatherman.
