Everything at Your Fingertips: The Swiss Army Knife 

In my daily life, it is always good to have a Swiss army knife within reach. That’s right, a Swiss army knife in my pocket can make my life easier. From helping me uncork a bottle of wine to my romantic date, to helping me when I forgot the keys to my car, the Swiss Army knife can be my solution to those problems. The knife is useful, cheap, and durable for its use in difficult times.

First, the Swiss Army knife is cheaper than buying each tool separately. I am a person who usually repairs computers and cell phones most of my time and I need multiple tools to carry out my work. Tools like screwdrivers, gouges, and chisels can cost me around $300. However, my classic Swiss Army Knife purchased on the official website can cost around $150 (Victorinox.com). It also has more tools that can be useful in other situations, such as the wood saw. The wood saw is a knife with powerful teeth and can usually cut everything in its path. Personally, one of my favorites and the ones that have helped me the most. A good investment for people like me who do handwork.

Besides saving, the Swiss Army knife can be convenient because it is compact and durable. Its weight is around 2.5 ounces and only 2.5 inches long (survivalcommonsense.com), which makes the Swiss Army knife a tactical knife with maximum portability. It also has a stainless metal alloy that increases its durability. It is easy to wash, so it can be used in the dishwasher. According to the official Victorinox website, it can withstand temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius (Swiss Army Knives FAQ). Undoubtedly, the compactness that it possesses and its durability makes it a reliable product. In my experience, the knife has never failed me. I have had it for more than three years and the metal continues as I bought it. The metal has not been bent or disfigured and even the paint has not worn. Without a doubt, I can attest that it is a durable tool.

Finally, it can help us survive in difficult situations. I like to ride bicycles to distant places, with nothing but a bottle of water, my cell phone and my pocket knife. More than once, I had some mechanical problem and being so far from my house I have no choice but to fix the bicycle myself. Having a Swiss army knife when we travel in our car or go out camping can always be of good help and will save us a few worries. One of my favorite tools for when we go camping is the can opener. The can opener for some reason is something that is always forgotten. By having this tool always in my pocket I do not have to worry about packing a can opener next to my underpants. Without a doubt a good way to survive outside of your ‘natural habitat’

In conclusion, the Swiss army knife is one of the tools that I find most useful. Because of its price and its durability, I think it is a profitable investment. It is a tool that can be useful in almost any aspect of our life and is a tool that is comfortable and enjoyable to have. If you are thinking about buying a tactical knife, I recommend you to take a look at the Swiss army knives. The Swiss Army Knife is undoubtedly an item with which I could not live without it.
