Part 2

Swiss Knives Express offers a free knife if you send in a
Swiss Army knife story that gets published or used on their
website. Here are some of the interesting stories and uses
that people have for Swiss Army knives. See Part 1 for
previous stories.

Story 4 ? M. Bourgeois from Idaho Falls, ID

One Christmas I gave each of my two girls a ?Miss A? knife.
You?ve probably seen these things ? pink and purple, with
lots of girl ?tools?. I was hoping the girlies, ages 13 and
11, would think the knives were fun and maybe somewhat
useful. As any dad could have told you, I was destined to be
wrong. My girls are never ungrateful, but the ?Miss A?
knives were greeted in a most unenthusiastic way. It turns
out the girls thought they were ready for a ?real? Swiss
Army knife. These little cutsie knives just did not cut it.
Indeed, they felt a little insulted! So, we discussed what
they liked and wanted in a knife and decided on a couple of
Victorinox Hunstman Pluses. They?ve been happy ever since ?
cleaning fish, sawing branches for walking sticks, and using
their real knives for whatever else comes up. I was happy
the Swiss Army knives got me out of that jam!

Story 5 ? P. Haynes, Ozark, MO

I?ve been carrying a Victorinox Tinker for almost 15 years.
I can?t say it has saved my life (yet) but it has definitely
made things a lot easier. Like the time a friend and I were
driving a rust bucket 1980 Chevy truck through rural Kansas.
It was 3:00 AM and we were probably 20 miles from ANYTHING
and the truck quits running. My friend was a mechanic but
the only tool in the truck was a rusty pair of pliers.
Thankfully I had my Tinker in my pocket. He messed around
with the carburetor and we were back on the road in about 10
minutes.

Story 6 ? P. Laurence from Toledo, OH

I got my first Swiss Army knife a month ago because I heard
they were invaluable for use in everyday life. I chose a
Victorinox Huntsman. My friends were right. They are useful
tools. I use the scissors to open boxes and the screwdriver
to drive screws. I?ll definitely order some more Swiss Army
knives, maybe even some for the family.

Story 7 ? J. Schmidt from Blair, NE

I have carried a Classic Swiss Army knife for about 25
years. The first one I had was the original red. After about
15 years the inset metal emblem fell out, but I still
carried it because it was still good for a lot of things
from opening cardboard boxes to fixing my watch. I currently
have about 20 various models and I have never been
disappointed in the quality or versatility.

Story 8 ? F. Porzelt from Glen Ellyn, IL

I have carried Swiss Army knives daily for over 20 years. I
have a small one on my keychain and carry a larger one in my
pocket. I have used them at work for everything from opening
packages to repairing printers to cutting up pizza for
lunch. They are used regularly at home for applications
ranging from tightening kitchen cabinet hinges to opening
cans and bottles. The most fun, however, is outdoors use
such as whittling, making kindling for fires and trimming
small branches with the saw. The knives are so solidly built
that they work as well now as when I first got them. There
are so many uses I can?t see how I could ever get along
without a Swiss Army knife!
