Victorinox Serrated Pruning Blade

One Swiss Army knife from Victorinox include a curved and serrated pruning blade, designed for easier cutting of branches and saplings.

To use the serrated pruning blade, follow these steps:

1. Grip the branch or sapling in one hand.
2. Hold the Swiss Army knife in the other hand, with the sharp part of the pruning blade facing away from you.
3. Push the sharp part of the blade into the branch or sapling just beyond your other hand, and push away from you, cutting into the wood at about a 45° angle. Use a shallower cut if the wood is very tough.

The pruning blade is a generally useful tool that you can also use for plenty of other tasks. It works well for whittling, stripping insulation off of wiring, and cutting fiberglass insulation.
