I've still got all my fingers and I've been using it for the last 7 years 😊. They say a bad workman always blames his tool! 😀

I have nursed bees 60 years.

The thing, what you had in the picture, is nothing tool.

THIS IS A TOOL £5, Swedish.
This is dangerous too, if the blade is sharp.
You can twist 40 kg heavy honey box off from hive.

A Victorinox for restaurant staff. Comes complete with all tools to open the customer's drinks, delicately remove the fly from their soup, allow them to extricate food material from between their teeth and to make sure they both pay the bill and leave a hefty tip. Or else.
It's the toothpick that's the best bit! 😀

But surely you are the inventor of the Swiss army knife. Isn't there a hive tool on that?

My Brother brought me one back when he worked in Sweden.
It was the best knife I ever had. I used it regularly particularly on the allotment. Then one day I could not find it and I have not seen it since. I really miss it as the blade had the most superb edge and could be easily honed.
