Why would one want to use a knife block?

Using a knife block is a great way to keep your knives in a safe location, it prevents cuts and injuries as the blade of the knife is concealed within the block. It also helps your knives stay sharper longer as they have nothing bumping or rubbing against them, which can happen if they are left in a drawer with other utensils. It makes reaching for a knife a lot safer as the handle is the only part of the knife that is exposed.

What kind of oil do you use on Swiss army knives?

Victorinox offers a lubrication agent which is probably most ideal as they are very trustworthy and a producer of the Swiss Army Knife. I recently found my Victorinox Explorer in an old tool box. It was fine for a few day but the main blade began to open and close with almost a grind. Without any proper knife lubrication product I took the advise of a couple people on youtube. I soaked it in 70% isopropryl alcohol for 30 minutes and then applied a generous amount of WD40. It now opens and closes better than ever, but this method is not recomended if you use the knife for food preparation as you will ingest toxic chemicals. I am waiting to purchase Victorinox lubricating oil to finish the job.

There are mixed opinions on using cooking oil on the knife but with a life-time warranty I am willing to experiment.

Why are knives more effective than train tracks?

Interesting question. At least in terms of cartoon violence, the damsels or other goodie-goodies usually escape from being tied to the train tracks. The hero always comes along at the last minute. If a bad guy used a knife instead, then even if the hero came along, the damage would already be done. Not that I am advocating for bad guys, at all... Good guys are a lot cooler. But that is a way that I can imagine a knife being more effective than train tracks.
