One of the most practical knives to carry is a Swiss Army knife. Swiss Army knives are made to offer users an all-in-one convenience knife for daily use. At White Mountain Knives, we have a variety of Swiss Army knives from Victorinox, one of our most popular knife brands. Based in Switzerland, Victorinox has been making knives for well over 100 years, and their logo has become well-known all over the world.

Swiss Army knives are popular, practical, and extremely useful. They are great to carry while traveling and can come in handy when you least expect it. Some of the many uses of Swiss Army Knife tools are:

Opening Packages
I am sure there have been many times when you have experienced receiving a package that you could not open. Maybe it is because there is too much tape wrapped around the box or the plastic is too hard to tear apart with your own fingers. Whatever the reason, having a Swiss Army knife on hand can be a big help. There have been many times over when I, personally, have bought a bag of chips that I have difficulty opening or bought a new shirt whose tag is too hard to tear off. In these cases, I usually end up utilizing my teeth to give me a helping hand instead of going in search of a knife or scissors. It may seem harmless using your teeth, but the reality is that it is a bad idea. Using your teeth to open things risks causing damage to your teeth. You could chip a tooth or scrape away the enamel. Even using your teeth to cut thread could cause damage by creating grooves that could change the appearance of your mouth. By investing in and using a Swiss Army knife, you can eliminate any damage (and make it easier on yourself) by making use of two of their most important tools: the knife and scissors.

Boosting Appearance
You might be wondering how Swiss Army knife tools could assist in boosting your appearance. Well, many Swiss Amy knives include a toothpick, tweezers, and a nail file. Whether you are in the car, on the bus, or on a plane, these tools can come in handy when you are in a crunch and in need of a boost. Swiss Army knives are also great for traveling. For long trips, bringing along your own nail file and tweezers might be more beneficial. However, for short trips, a Swiss Army pocket knife will do just the trick. No need to lug around an extra bag when you can simply carry about your portable pocket knife. Toothpicks, on the other hand, aren’t usually something people decide to carry around with them, especially while traveling. If you are out to eat, chances are most restaurants will have toothpicks by the door for you to grab as you are leaving and entering. There are times, however, when there are not toothpicks around and you are stuck enduring the rest of the day or evening with food uncomfortably stuck between your teeth.

Bottle Opener
Whether you are camping, traveling, or simply out with friends, a bottle opener isn’t always easily accessible. While some smaller Swiss Army knives might not include any type of bottle opener, there are many that do. At White Mountain Knives, we have both: pocket knives that include them and those that don’t. The ones that do don’t just include a bottle opener for caps, however, they also have corkscrews to open wine bottles. If you’re in a crunch and need something to open your favorite bottle of wine or to crack open a bottle of beer, simply whip out your trusty old Victorinox Swiss Army knife and you’ll be good to go.

This holiday season, why not give the gift of convenience and buy a genuine Swiss Army knife for everyone in your family. They are the perfect gift to stick inside Christmas stockings and are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. If you are unsure whether or not this would be a good gift for someone, no need to fret. These Swiss Army knives have many features and are easy and small enough to carry around that anyone who receives these knives will find a use for it.
