I always say the corkscrew is useless for me because I don’t drink alcohol. But you have officially swayed me on the corkscrew with untying the knots!!

[@aboriginite]

I mean you can also use the awl to untie knots, or even the phillips head. Especially since those knots were with paracord which is pretty generously thick

[@xMister.Misterx]

That's exactly when it does come in handy. As long as you have a map and a compass (and a little basic navigational understanding).

[@trien30]

You could use two opposite half circles to make two S's & put a complete circle to make S O S or maybe three rectangles in a row (S in Morse code: ---) with three big dots (O in Morse code: ...) & another three rectangles (see explanation for S above.)

[@nightstalker824]

@trien30 or you can save time, and just draw them without this gimmick. Most people know how to draw an "s" and an "o." I think think teach us that when we are about 4 years old...

[@mariobudal8850]

@wolfe6819 No, I'm honestly not. My algorithm just took me there for a while. I haven't been getting any survival hacks on my feed for a while. But when it was going on, it was mostly this SAK stuff. Funny thing is I _am_ into it... I have tonnes of books on the subject at home... which is why I never really searched for videos on the topic online. I mainly use YT for podcasts... 🤷‍♂️

[@elconquistador932]

A couple nice tricks, thanks. 👍🏼. I wouldn't put too much force on the corkscrew, it doesn't take much of a bend to make it close improperly. If it bends just a tick towards the handle, when you close the corkscrew the tip will wedge between its plate and the outer handle, causing separation if you don't notice it happening for a bit. Ask me how I know. 😉 Edit: I'm not pissing on your video, I like the hacks. 👍🏼

[@BetweenTheAxis]

Since no one asked: how do you know?

[@helianthe3457]

Did it wreck your whole knife? :(

[@ireviewshtuff]

They now sell an eyeglass screwdriver that can fit into the corkscrew, giving you an extra tool without wasting space. My Compact came with one.

[@helianthe3457]

Yeah! Mine too!

[@ivanleterror9158]

Noticed the trick untying the knots. Got a corkscrew for that.

[@darbyl3872]

Remember, the corkscrew is made for corks, and will break with enough strain beyond that.

[@SimonQuigley]

I abused one and it unscrewed it then it wouldn't close properly

[@WT.....]

Plus carrying wood/weight beyond a cork top will put a lotta strain on the SAK joint with the screw (especially when it pulls in the wrong way).

Victorinox changed the screwdriver with the corkscrew of my knife because I didn't like that the corkscrew is a bit larger than the screwdriver when I whittle. Now I can whittle longer without the disadvantages of the pressure of the fingers when I use the small blade.

[@garfoonga1]

I think in a survival situation, the use of your knife is more important than making a hanger on a tree trunk. And the rope trick only works with thin ropes and cords, anything thick and the corkscrew will just rip into the fibres.

[@mariobudal8850]

Ah. Screw it then. I'm not wishing a Swiss Army knife for Christmas after all. It's all bs anyway.

[@JGunit]

My personal favorite... opening wine.

[@westonknight7474]

...such a GREAT video.....thank you soooo much for the awesome information 👏...be well

[@Philobiblion]

The SAK- type cork remover is the best kind. It is technically a 'worm', a spiral coiled wire, as opposed to a proper, solid screw. The solid screw is much more prone to pull out, especially from a fragile cork. The worm displaces much less cork material and is much less likely to fail.

[@kidpesto]

This guy can draw a circle with anything

[@enviroeng]

Another use is to use the corkscrew to attach the tool to a long stick for long distance use of the saw.

[@chadfallentine5540]

Wow, all this time I thought that thing was useless 😂😂😂

[@howcanimiss]

Thought using the flathead would be better suited for removing staplets

Boring a hole into a live tree to hang a napsack is not such a good idea. It could introduce insects and or bacteria ultimately killing the tree. Much better to wrap a piece of paracord with a toggle. Already dead, standing tree....... fine, but please NOT a live one.

[@midnightmosesuk]

I wouldn't call these secret functions. I doubt there were guys sitting in the Swiss Army Knife research labs saying things like "I know what else we could use the corkscrew for, but don't tell anyone, it's a secret." How about you just call it what it is. An idea on how to use the corkscrew for something else.

[@ryankanters4385]

I love the tricks! But the hanger trick is cool and all but immediately makes the SAK unusable for the time the bag is hanged hahahaha

[@williamli8708]

thats where your second sak comes in

[@paulamcclure3402]

Interesting idea for a hanger on a dead tree or wood pole; however, it is not good for a live tree since the hole damage in the trunk can be an avenue for insects, diseases, etc. to kill the tree. For living trees, it is better to create a bushcraft hanger for the backpack with paracord and a peg from a downed branch (or such). You can also use nylon webbing and a studry gauged carabiner. It is better to follow "Leave No Trace" principles so that nature's treasures can exist for future generations to benefit and enjoy, as well. Peace & Happy Trails. 🇺🇸 🏕
