Probably like many on here I carry a penknife , mine's a Swiss army Spartan , and I have a question to ask and that is which blades do people use most or for that matter least or not at all.
On mine the small knife blade is used more often than the larger one and the second most used blade is the screwdriver/bottle opener and that is mostly as the screwdriver or as a small lever to open paint tins and the like although it does get used for bottle opening too . The awl gets used ever so often as a start for screws , the corkscrew has been used once or twice but the one that hasn't really been used is the tin opener. Well I tried it out once but that was it , I have a p38 on my keys which does a much better job . That blade also has a small screwdriver but the width of the blade makes it not really usable. There's supposedly a wire stripping use by using the large blade and the notch in the bottle opener which I've never used either.
So what do you use or not on your penknife?
