The Swiza D01 is a contemporary knife inspired by classic Swiss pocket knives. The first thing you’ll notice is the knife’s modern, ergonomic design. The innovation is easy to see when you look at the lock. You unlock the knife by pressing down the logo on the handle. Swiza has also taken left-handed users into account with a cut-out in the blade that can be used from both sides.
## Maintenance-friendly materials
Swiza says that you can wash its pocket knives in the dishwasher without any negative effects. We decided to test this theory. You can read more about this [here](/nieuws/swiza-vaatwassertest.htm). Our conclusion is that Swiza pocket knives do remarkably well in the dishwasher. We do, however, recommend that you clean your Swiza pocket knives by hand.
Whether you decide to wash your Swiza pocket knife in the dishwasher or not, it is a wonderfully maintenance-friendly pocket knife.
## Swiza tools
### Knife
The blade is made from 440 stainless steel that is hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 57. You can easily open the knife with the cut-out in the blade. You also still have enough grip on the blade to open it by squeezing it and pulling it open, if you have difficulty with a nail groove opening. Once opened, the lock ensures that the knife won’t close when you don’t want it to. Classic Swiss pocket knives don’t have a lock. You unlock the blade by pressing the Swiss cross. This pushes aside the latch that keeps the blade open. You can then close the blade.
### Awl
What do you use an awl for? For all tasks you wouldn’t use the tip of your knife for! The awl is sharpened on one side, so it is highly suitable for making marks on wood. Which side of the line should you follow when you’ve marked something with a pencil? With an awl this isn’t a problem. In addition, it is very practical to use an awl to prick into soft metals. You can use it to mark out where you should drill, for instance. And when you’ve finished the renovations and it’s time to uncork the champagne, an awl also comes in handy for removing the foil from the cork!
### Corkscrew
After removing the foil from the cork, you can then uncork the bottle with the corkscrew. The most creative way of using a corkscrew is using it as a coat rack. Turn the corkscrew into a wall and use the handle as a hanger.
### Tweezers
The tweezers on a Swiss pocket knife are often used to remove splinters. The advantage of these tweezers is that the head is already bevelled. This means the tweezers already have a ‘tip’, perfect for detailed tasks. You can use the full width of the tweezers by tilting them slightly.
