Any other ideas? I suppose you could use it to tighten a knot maybe. The manual only says "multi functional hook".

nice gift OP
I use the hook for opening knots, never for tightening them, not even sure how you would use it for tightening.
Only catch is that it only works on relatively thin rope

Swiss packages used to always be closed by knotting a cord around them. With the hook you can hook the cord and use the knife as a carrying handle.
It can also be used to tighten knots, attach a string and use the knife as a plumb-bob, or generally to pull tight cordage that's too thin to grab without hurting yourself (tie a bowline, feed the hook through and pull). It's very sturdy and can hold the weight of a person.

yeah I looked at the website and saw that but honestly that's just because thay didn't want to put "gut hook" on their list of tools.

How can any retard think that running a hook through the strings on a package is a better way to carry it? How will it improve the carry? It won't because it's just a term thought up by a marketing bozo. It's a goddamn gut hook. I purchased my first bird knife back in the early 70's and it was advertised as having a cleaning hook to keep your hands clean. That's what it's for but I guess if you want, you can walk around like a faggot with a package dangling off of it.

fairly modern knives that are designed to rip open the abdominal cavity are also called gut hooks.

the original term was for a non sharpened hook that you would use to grab the intestines and organs from a game bird and pull them out. can also be used on small game

True... ones in the pocket of an outdoorsman. The other is in the pocketbook of a limp wristed Euro-fag.

As a matter of fact anyone who would even consider carrying a Swiss Army knife should probably just ask their boyfriend to carry their parcels for them.
