- Cut fruit and vegetables into slices:
Use a jackknife to slice a piece of fruit to invoke the ageless utility of a jack knife. You’re creating a direct connection between yourself and some tough ancestor with each elegant action. Perhaps a simple act, but one that will always elicit envious stares due to its sheer coolness.
- Prepare the Kindling:
Break down twigs and branches to build fire on your next wilderness excursion while we’re about past applications for a jack knife. Your friends will thank you for bringing that campfire back to life.
- Take a fishing trip
Not only can you cut through fishing wire or slice up your bait with the blade, but you can also gut and fillet each fish with it. It’s no surprise that every serious angler owns one!
- Cans that have been opened
Your jack knife can be used to open cans instead of using a can opener. Keep that blade sharp and sharpen it again later, as dulling might occur during the procedure. If we’re talking beer cans, your jack knife can easily pierce either side, allowing you to shotgun the brewski like the wild party animal you are. Wait a minute…didn’t we just say the best usage for a jack knife ever?
- Take out the staples
Removing staples is a necessary evil that, while not as much fun as shot gunning drinks, is a necessary evil. The reasons for removal may differ, but the method is always the same: a jack knife. Yes, absolutely.
- Make Drainage Holes
Some scenarios necessitate drainage, from potted plants to wet fruit bags. Your jack knife, with its pointed blade, comes into play. Start poking around.
- Make a Carving
Using the power of a high-quality jack knife, bring out your inner craftsman. You can carve a utilitarian product, a beautiful sculpture, or both at the same time with the correct amount of talent. Magnifico!
- Plants Should Be Pruned
A well pruned plant is a superior plant in terms of both health and aesthetics. Use your jack knife as a quick-acting pruner on tiny plants, whether within the house or outside in the garden.
