How to Open a Can with a Swiss Army Knife

One of the most useful features of a Swiss Army knife is the can opener. It can be used while camping, during a power outage, or even as your primary can opener.
Here is how to use both types of can openers found on Victorinox Swiss Army knives. The first part of the video will detail how to use the can opener with a screwdriver tip. The second part of the video will show how to use the combination tool.

You need to make a hole on both sides to pour liquid freely.

[@the_inquisitive_inquisitor]

Yeah, needs an air hole

This was so frustrating to watch

[@holmespianotuning]

If you want to drain liquids make another small hole on the opposite side as well.

[@diypreppertv]

Great idea Jake. I don’t know why didn’t think about that at the time. Thanks for watching!

[@TrixsyyYT]

Thank you so much! I actually didn't know how to do this tysm!!

[@toolslover3645]

One of the best video on KZbin! Thanks for the video.

[@cahillgreg]

Just arrived in a remote location with only canned foods and rice available - I'm eating fish and beans with the rice thanks to your video - many thanks.

[@diypreppertv]

Glad to help! Thanks for watching!

[@calvindauner674]

Note, if it’s not working for you. Try your right hand. It doesn’t work with the left because of the shape

[@elenaportillo5460]

Thank you so much for the vid! It was super helpful!

[@supertarzan12]

That is really good can Opener

[@nude_cat_ellie7417]

Thank you, sir. Similar principle to a John Wayne p-38

[@anarcho262]

Thanks for that video. Tried it and didn't understood how it works, so i ended up using my machete to open the can.

[@ilyasghauri1012]

Thank you. It was of instant help.

[@charlesmckinney]

Make a second hole for air to enter the can and the fluid will drain easily

[@naldo389]

Ingesting the small metals is actually good iron for the body

[@ekuldan226]

[@diypreppertv]

[@direwolf6234]

[@lylibu]

Easy peasy!

[@name5949]

May I ask what Swiss Army knives you used? Thanks again for sharing this post with us

[@diypreppertv]

The larger one is a Swisschamp and the smaller one with the combo tool is a Yeoman. I got it right around the time it was discontinued.

[@coldenhaulfield5998]

Thank you!

[@MrJol420]

Thank you man.

[@diypreppertv]

You’re welcome! Thanks Jack!

[@katyu16]

Is THAT how you do it? Thanks!!!!!!!

[@katyu16]

@Leonel Zaiden flixzone is a scam!

[@robertacosta1293]

How many cans can you open before it starts to dull too much?

[@diypreppertv]

I’ve used mine quite a bit and never noticed any problems.

[@robertacosta1293]

@@diypreppertv awesome thanks!

[@bethanyleonalemleykottonqu7570]

I got one but it’s basic

[@LadyZubat]

I watched this video because my dad always told me that i needed to learn how to use one of these can openers then promptly refused to teach me how to use them

[@trapperscout2046]

I use the Victorinox can opener in the wrong direction. It still works.

[@dingdang3845]

[@Renegade-g2w]

Always remove the lid completely otherwise wild animals can get their snout in but not out. Horrible death. Hopefully people dispose of tin cans responsibly but they do end up in the countryside at times.

I'm here because of Futurama

[@UsuallyQuiet]

Ck out felix immlers channel he is a swiss army knife guy/expert? Shows a different way to use can opener
