Chimpanzee seen carrying and using a large knife on a chimpanzee tour in Budongo forest, Uganda. You can hear the experienced tour guides suprised reaction at 0:34. These are men who have been working in the forests for their entire lives without seeing anything like this.

One of the things chimps will do is drag tree branches around for use in dominance displays in which they run at rivals, hair on end, screaming, throwing rocks, making as much noise as possible.

Jane Goodall described one of her chimps who discovered he could bang gas cans together to create an enormous racket, and in the use of which artificial aid he rapidly advanced from relatively low status to alpha.

Chimps use tools in other ways such as when 'fishing' for termites, or most incredibly for me, making absorbent sponges from chewed up leaves or moss. They learn these behaviours from each other: some chimp groups use some tools, some use others, some use none, and innovations spread rapidly within groups.

As long as he ain't trying to rob any tourists...
