One trick I've never seen is using the hook to fish out a drawstring that has gone inside the garment. I've had occasions when I washed sweat pants or something when the drawstring got into the channel. You can push the hook in, scrunching up the fabric as necessary, and hook the hook behind the knot in the drawstring and pull it out.

Majority of these trips are rubbish: 1 pass the string over whole tool, let string dangle between fingers 2 clamp pen behind any other tool 3 magnets can be stored near the corkscrew 4 use other pegs or cork screw 5 use flat head screw driver as lever 6 use can opener as hook 7 cut away the frailed bit with knife of scissors 8 eyelet in wire can be made round other tools, but I must admit, the hook would work the best, non the less, I've never needed making an eyelet in with 9 use your wallet to prop your phone up 10 twist hook screw, use another tool as lever 11 tension spring - ok, maybe, but really how often? 12 mount chain - fraid I'm gonna get some grease on two of my fingers 13 modification - dunno what's that for

They never stopped being great. People just got caught up in the multi-tool (pliers) hysteria. Don't get me wrong, I like them. But they are better suited for use in civilization. I'm not a fan of using them as a "survival"camping tool. They're bulky, holding them in extreme cold is EXTREMELY unpleasant, and they're heavy. I know I know, only a few ounces. Just take it from a thru-hiker and survivalist. They're heavy. Pliers actually do come in handy for both camping and survival uses. They allow you to make extremely tight knots, crack nuts...... um.... hmmm... nevermind, they suck for camping/survival. LOL.. They don't, really. They have their place in a survival kit/bug out bag, but they get more use as a camping tool. The SAK is lighter, easier to find if you set it down on a wooded area and lost track of it, and they do everything a multi-tool can, except for take requiring a pair of pliers. I just buy a mid-range pair at a home improvement store, needle nose, and Todd them into the bottom of my backpack. For any circumstance where you REALLY NEED a pair of pliers, the multi told fall short. If rather have a full size pair off pliers that are NOT held together with two scrawny stainless steel pins.

Now we don't tie our boxes up with string and this use has been forgotten.

This was brilliant. I’ve carried a SAK since I was 12. I had an older Swiss Champ model which got upgraded to the newer Swiss Champ a few years ago. I don’t use the hook that much but I’ve seen it in a whole new light. One if the things I love about the SAK is that you can use it for so many things the designers may not have thought of. For instance, I’ve used it as a hook in toilet cubicles. Some of them have screw holes where old hooks used to be. Use a few turns from the corkscrew to screw the SAK into the hole and you have a hook that will easily hold a coat etc. I’ve also used it as a lock on doors where the original lock was broken.

I find the hook to be one of the most interesting tools on the Swiss Army Knife. As somebody that does a lot of camp cooking they’re great for Bush pot handles when they’re hot, I also like to carry firewood with them. Our use the pen technique quite often on my compact. Going to try the magnet thing I have lots of those tiny magnets.

But to believe a little hook can have more than 10 odd uses, YOU NEED A LOT OF OPTIMISM.

Now I'm convinced I can live with out that bloody hook.

LOL of course you can live without it. Plenty of people do. The point is, if you have one on your knife anyway, how can it make your life easier? If you choose not to get any benefit from it, that's on you.

Wow Felix, thank you!! I saw uses that made me angry at myself for not using the hook for that purpose. You don't want to know how I struggled with an old trampoline last summer with an Victorinox huntsman in my pocket.

Cool video Felix, I knew most of them but the cell phone holder was new and cool, when you are carrying the wood bundle you can put the hook closer by using a half hitch :-) I'm keen for next one to see what you do with the modified tip.
