+1 The opener driver is a more useful tool than most realize. Use mine almost daily. Great thread Barry!  :tu:

Thanks guys, it's been a lot of fun!  Here's a trick I've used in the past to slide hot furnace or oven racks in a pinch.

Switching things up for Wenger Wednesday... an S-111!  I've always been a fan of how the Wenger's carry, so we'll see what we can get into together.

 :cheers: Thanks guys!  Another light day so far for the 111 and me.  I used the small blade to cut open some speedy coffee this morning.  I'm hoping to put the can opener to use later.

I really need to get me a SI. I love my PX but I'm still drawn to the simplicity of the SI.

They really are solid units.  My son has a Pioneer, PX, Farmer, and Cadet, and it's difficult to feel any real difference build wise.  I just love that awl!!  They can still be found in really good condition on the Bay and Swiss Bianco has BNIB for a good price.

+1 - I grew so fond of mine during the 30 day minimalist challenge I've been carrying it almost exclusively since. It's such a solid but elegant knife. It takes a lot for me to put away my Pikachu and Greenwood but the SI is a great EDC. I even bought a spare, the only spare of anything I own. That's how much I don't want to be without one.

Me too Mags!  Now I've a '96 and an '04.  These are my only duplicates as well.
