The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual

Product Details

The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual is a 224-page paperback, with 96 color photographs. The chapter on repairs and modifications shows how to replace a scissor-spring and how to straighten a bent corkscrew, among other skills. In a chapter about improvisations is information on using the fishscaler as a range finder, the Phillips driver as a soldering iron, the can opener as a lifter of hot cans from the campfire... Just about everything you might want to know about the Swiss knife is in the book, from the history of the companies and the history of the tools and models, to some amazing stories of lives saved with the knife. There are even photos of an SAK with knapped glass blades and a mini-crossbow made from a Swiss Army knife.
