Victorinox Can Opener |
 |
The can opener on mid-sized and large Victorinox Swiss Army knives includes the following functions:
This blade is also useful on occasion for various scraping or prying functions (unlike the Wenger can opener, which is designed strictly for opening cans). The Victorinox can opener is not the world's fastest can opener, but it does a decent job for occasional use. The trick is to puncture the can with the sharp part of the blade, and then move forward by about 1/4" (6 mm) and slice a bit more of the can with the sharp, curved part. The can opener tends to leave a jagged edge on the can, so use caution! Some people sharpen the end of this blade for use as a chisel-- however that makes the tool more dangerous, particularly when you are opening and closing the blade. If you use excessive force when driving screws that are tightly embedded, it is possible to twist the very end of this blade. WARNING-- Use caution when driving tightly embedded screws with this blade, because it is possible to accidentally snap the blade shut, and slice your hand. Other Can Openers Victorinox SwissTools have a very similar can opener. The Wenger can opener is sharper, and does not have a screwdriver tip. A few Leatherman tools include either a can opener, or a combination bottle and can opener. |
