    I started carrying a Swiss army knife when I was about 20, and I am almost 65 now. I never knew about the pinhole behind the screwdriver, and sure enough I look in mine and there is a pin hole! I am totally shocked! I have a number of Swiss army knives that scales have been broken off or lost pieces and I know I can get parts now over the internet and haven't gotten around to replacing them. I am definitely going to be ordering some parts now. Thanks for making this video I really enjoyed it! And best of all I've learned something new that I can share with people!

    Regarding that hidden slot, it is actually used on some models. The Traveller, for instance, has an electronic clock in one scale and no tools. On the other side, all three slots are used: to hold the pen and toothpick on one end and the tweezers from the small knives in the normally hidden slot on the other end.

      You think that if they cuff you, they won’t go through your pockets? Gauge a groove out of the inner side of your leather belt at the back , which should be self explanatory. When cuffed up they always run their fingertips on the inner side of the waste band of your pants but never the belt. Don’t forget the tweezers can be pent to open the handcuffs or padlocks also.

    I literally just looked through mine and the way my swiss army knife is made, instead of the pin hole being next to the Phillips, it's next to the cork screw. Had this thing for several years and never noticed. Thanks for the knowledge!!

      The quality of their steel is crazy good. Felix Imler did an edge retention test that exceeded all expectations.
      I told myself I'd buy a new Leatherman when my Victorinox wears out, but it looks like I'll never need another multitool unless I lose it.

      then just crack the plastic off with some pliers and its basicaly the same as the victorianox one, plus when you inevitably loose it you still have 99 more
