This isn’t just another multitool—it’s the Explorer, a medium-sized Swiss Army knife with a lean, travel-ready design that doesn’t skimp on capabilities. Swiss-built legend meets minimalist EDC chic. (Victorinox, GEARPERSONAL, Blade HQ)

But do you know what each function really does?  Like who knows what a reamer is??!! 

Let’s slice through the jargon and break down all 16 functions and why they matter—for women, men, and everyone in between:

---

1. Large Blade

Your main cutter. Open boxes, slice fruit, cut rope, or whittle sticks at camp. Basically, it’s the “go-to” edge.

2. Small Blade

Think detail work. Trim loose threads, peel an apple, or open packaging without looking like a savage.

3. Can Opener with Small (3 mm) Flathead Screwdriver

• Can Opener: Perfect for when the power’s out and your electric can opener is useless.

• Screwdriver: Tightens tiny screws—glasses, toys, electronics.

4. Bottle Opener with Large (6 mm) Flathead Screwdriver & Wire Stripper

• Bottle Opener: Because hydration… or beer. 🍺

• Large Screwdriver: Everyday fixer for light switches, cabinet handles, or kid toys.

• Wire Stripper: Handy if you ever need to strip wires for small electrical fixes.

5. Scissors

Small but mighty. Cut paper, fabric, bandages, or trim a broken nail. You’ll use these more than you think.   Trust me. 

6. Magnifying Glass

Not just for detectives. Read tiny labels, find splinters, or start a fire in a pinch (yes, really).

7. Reamer / Punch with Sewing Eye

• Reamer/Punch: Makes holes in leather, wood, or canvas.

• Sewing Eye: Thread cord or heavy thread through to repair bags, tarps, or gear. Fix it yourself without duct tape.

8. Phillips Screwdriver (crosshead)

Finally—an actually comfortable Phillips driver on a Swiss Army Knife. Fixes screws on furniture, electronics, and pretty much everything else.

9. Corkscrew

Sure, it opens wine bottles. But it can also untangle knots and twist open stubborn gear loops.

10. Multipurpose Hook

The weirdest tool—until you need it. Carry grocery bags without cutting your hands, pull hot pots off campfires, or yank tight zippers.

11. Tweezers

Splinter removal champion. Also doubles as a brow shaper or chin hair removal while in your car.  You know you've done it!

12. Toothpick

Plastic, reusable, and better than walking around with kale stuck in your teeth.

13. Key Ring

Simple but essential. Clip it to your keys, zipper, or lanyard so it doesn’t vanish.

🌟 Why This Matters

Each tool looks small, but together they cover food, fixes, first aid, and fun. That’s why the Explorer is a prepper’s pocket-sized bestie: it solves the “oops” moments before they turn into full-on problems.
