I didn't see a thread of everything you can do with the different SAK functions ( some functions seem as though they could do more than intended ) and I thought it would be a good idea for people to share all of the different uses they've discovered.
Can opener - fits Philips screws , hook to lift kettle from fire, use edge to remove spring watch pins, ream or desire small tubing, wenger can opener can be used to deburr tubing most size tubing.
Tweezers - can turn slotted eyeglass screws if you're careful
Nail tool - fits small Phillips screws
Toothpick - can clean nails, pick lint out of your knife.
Wire stripper - bend wire, fits some bike spokes.
Corkscrew - twist in cordage / wire to pull it tight, remove O-rings, testing dry aged meats such as salami.
Cap lifter - can turn flat eye bolts and some wingnuts.
Orange peeler - also cuts clambshell packaging
Small Flathead - can turn some small Phillips screws in a pinch, will also turn 4mm Allen screws.
Philips screwdriver - can make holes in wood ( not great but it works )
Awl on alox models - open zip ties with having to cut them.
If anyone has any others, maybe for tools that haven't been mentioned I'd love to hear them and will ad them to the list 👍
