Swiss Army Knife: Swiss Army Knife Lover Stories Part 1

Swiss Knives Express offers a free knife if you submit a Swiss Army Knife story that is published or used on their website. Here are some of the interesting stories and uses that people have for Swiss Army Knives.

Story 1 – R. Reyes of Keller, TX

I grew up in a family that doesn’t use knives. The only knives in the house were kitchen knives and they were incredibly blunt. Both of my parents were raised the same way. Neither of them had a knife phobia, but they were wary of knives. So when I was 13 years old, I went to the local Target. Then I bought a Victorinox Spartan razor and loved it. My dad, on the other hand, didn’t. After a long discussion, my mother convinced my father to let me keep it. The following year, everyone in my family had a Swiss Army knife or multi-tool of some sort. I now have five Victorinox razors that are rotating to carry every day. My dad thanked me for buying him one the following week after he used it to take apart a chair in his office. I love SAK and always will.

Story 2 – Mr. Ceranski from Phoenix, AZ

When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a Swiss Army knife, well it was an imitation, but I didn’t know it! It’s red and has a ton of features. I’ve always had it with me, but never really used it, unless we went camping. Then there was the phase I went through when I thought I could carve a kachina doll! My dad made me practice skinning the outside of a branch to get to the wood on the inside, just in case he ever needed to know! He and my grandfather always carried a pocket knife, so it seemed normal to me. In fact, I am expanding my collection: so far I have a Victorinox and a Wenger.

As a mother of two boys, for the past few months I have had my original SAK in my pocket: a lanyard attached and clipped to my belt. I have used it so much! Dad has cancer and is on oxygen now, so when we go out on a date and he needs a new tank, I use it to cut the tape that covers the holes in the neck of the tank. That happens several times a week. I have also found it very useful around the house: open packages, letters, CDs, anything taped up… the list goes on. My older son often tells me “Mom! Just get out your knife and cut it!” I think the last time this happened was last weekend when I was out shopping for new shoes for the kids. I wanted to wear the new ones outside of the store. So, I took my Swiss Army knife out of my pocket, wondered if security would show up, cut the plastic that held the shoes on, and we walked out with the old shoes in the boxes. Nobody ever said a word.

Story 3: Chris from somewhere in the US.

I was born in 1983. Once I was old enough to figure things out, I started watching MacGyver and fell in love with not only the show, but also the knives it used. The Swiss Army Knife has become something I have wanted for years and I finally got one on my 12th birthday. I picked it out myself, at Red SwissChamp. He treasured that knife and used it constantly.
