The ocean is calling and I must go

So for people who haven't seen the documentary, what makes Victorinox so special?

I was looking at Victorinox Swiss Army knives not long ago, but I didn't know anything about them. I have a swiss army knife (no idea what kind) that I got at least 15 years ago or so that I keep in my main bag, but I'd like another since I always need it whenever I don't have that bag with me.

I used to have one of these but without the saw. Super handy camping knife and took a great edge. One day about 10 years ago, I misplaced it at work and it never showed up again. I still miss it.

The OPs knife is a very handy pocket knife especially because of the pen. I used to have the computer tech model and I used the pen all the time. There are never any pens in a server room for some reason.



Mine was in black though.

Are big ones like this with lots of tools awkward to hold/use? I was considering one like that, but it seemed very bulky and like it might be uncomfortable to use.

The ocean is calling and I must go

I have a multitool that I like because it has a phillips head and turns into pliers, but the scissors on it are useless. I know I can just use the knife to poke or cut through something, but sometimes I really need scissors. Do any multitools or swiss army knives have little scissors that actually work, or are they just too small to be very functional?

I've been carrying a Victorinox Explorer in my pocket for close to 20 years now. I don't know how I'd get along without it. Actually, come to think of it I DO know: on the occasions that I've flown somewhere with carry-on luggage only, I had to leave anything pointy at home. I found myself reaching into my pocket for it about two or three times a day.

Ooooh that one looks really nice.

I finally found a shop that sold a replacement toothpick for the one I lost years ago. I don't need a toothpick often, but that little empty space in the side bugged me.
