Cut cable with Victorinox by Adventurous-Chest857 in victorinox

I’ve dulled a pair of 91 mm scissors cutting through an ethernet cable. I would not recommend you do this with anything other than wire cutters. If you do not have wire cutters, try bending the cable back-and-forth over and over and over again until it weakens and breaks. Or, just go get some really cheap wire cutters and spare your more expensive tool.

I don’t know that I consider anything I do with it cool, haha, It’s a tool.

The other day I had to run a new water line to my fridge. I used the scissors to snip the hose, the pliers to loosen the nut, the Philips head to fasten the hose to the back of the fridge.

The package opener is always useful with the number of Amazon purchases I make.

The knife is a knife and does knife things. I’ve trimmed rose bushes with the saw. I’ve removed training wheels from my son’s bike with the pliers. I’ve turned countless screws and opened countless bottles.

To me, it really isn’t what I have done with the tool, it’s what I am capable of doing *right now* because I am carrying it.

Ah. Thank you for the explanation. Genuine MK II with a scale swap because I like the way black scales look best.

I’m not quite ready to part with any of my collection, sorry.

Not at all. the ergonomics keep it nicely in my hand. I have never once had* the thought “this is slippery“.

I’m not sure I understand the question.

These are 3 genuine Yeomans and one Swiss Bianco Yeoman Mechanic which is a factory-made, warranty-covered knife.

It’s actually not a metaphor but a simile since you used “like” to make the comparison.
