What Stieg said, those blades are great for opening clam shell packaging. Less likely to slip off that hard plastic and injure yourself. Warncliffe style blades work almost as well.

Cutting electrical tie wraps are also a snap with a hooked blade.

Another vote to keep it. I'm a big fan of hawksbill blades. I would really like that knife if it had a can opener instead of a bottle opener.
(Can openers can open bottles but bottle openers can't open cans! :) )
 
I also really like hawkbills.
Square off the top tip of the blade and sharpen the tip to razor sharp.
You will be suprised how much you start using the tip of the blade.

Exactly what I thought about the can opener, even before I bought it. It's about time Victorinox did a 'design your own' service.
 
I bought a pioneer harvester because I like the farmer but wanted a second blade, I intended to reshape the pruning blade but gave it a chance and I actually like it know, its been my edc for several months now, do agree that it would be better to have the can opener than bottle opener though.
 
That is a bit weird they left the bottle opener, must drink a lot of beer in Switzerland.
And yeah, 2 more saks to buy now.:D
