How do I use the reamer, sewing hole, and wire stripper on my victorinox pocket knife?
I am new to pocket knives and just bought my first actual pocket knife. Its a medium sized Swiss Army Victorinox tinker knife. To be able to use the knife to its full potential could you guys please explain what situations I would use these extensions of the knife for. Now, obviously I know the wire stripper, well... strips wires, however could you also explain exactly how or why I would need to do that.
Thanks in advance.
The reamer has a similar function to the awl on my Swiss Army Knife (SAK). What it's used for is to punch holes through material, especially leather materials like a belt that needs an extra hole. To do this, take out the reamer tool from your knife and press it against the material, apply force on the knife/material until the reamer is pushed through, then rotate the reamer while it's still pushed through the material so that the hole can be enlarged. It's come in handy for me whenever I need to make small punctures in the materials I'm working with.
The sewing hole can be used if you're handy at sewing by pushing the string through the hole and then pushing the reamer through the cloth so that the thread can now be interwoven into it. However, I'm not a good sewer, so I've never had use for the hole in any way.
The wire stripper is used to remove the insulation (covering) from wires, which could be useful if you are an electrician or into a lot of repair work. To do this, place the wire (if it's thin enough) into the notch in the bottle opener and, while applying pressure on the wire, rotate the wire cutter to make a cut around the wire's covering (also, be sure your wire is not plugged in or carrying an electric current at the time). After that, pull the wire through and the covering should come right off if you've done it correctly.
