I finally will have a Victorinox Spirit multitool at long last- these have been on the market and in my consciousness for several years but they are significantly more expensive than SAKs and even a touch more expensive than entry level Leatherman tools (which I have one of, part of why I am turning to the Spirit). Long story short thanks to Raptorman on the multitool.org forum I will have one of these in my mailbox in the next couple of days- it may come today but I am not sure:

I wanted to S or X version so I would get the spearpoint blade (and not just that blunt serrated joke). He happened to have a black oxide model, so I get to look extra covert when I get it out and use it- although I have to say I will miss the shinyness of my SAK. I am really eager to see if carrying this and an Executive finally tickles that itch I just can't quite seem to scratch tongue.gif. I hope it is pocketable because I really don't want to dork it up with that pouch tongue.gif

I'd stick to the classic Swiss Army Knife. biggrin.gif
I hope you have fun with it.

Haha believe me I wish a Classic would do all jobs that need done, it would be a lot lighter on the pocket but it all started with:

and slowly I've needed pliers more and more, so I gave in and bought a Leatherman Kick, but I really prefer to have something with the name Victorinox on it when I have a choice. Unfortunately they don't have something more... modestly proportioned swissopen.gif

I didn't mean 'Classic' the way you mean it. I mean the old fashion style of the Swiss Army Knife. Just fold it open! biggrin.gif

Oh I see what you meant. That is the one reason I want Victorinox over all the other brands of multitools- with the tool folded shut you can access the blades, rather than having to open the pliers to get to them.
