Tricky second album

[skydan]

So, you've been trying out the legendary Swiss workmanship of your first Victorinox SAK. What do you get for an encore?

My second was a black-scaled Climber. It was to be an EDC when not backpacking. Something a little slimmer than the Ranger yet with the most useful tools. As a Swissbit now lives on my keyring it sits next to my computer and keeps other Vics company.

[Gareth]

My second was a Climber as well except I was moving up in size, not down.  I started with a Waiter went to a Climber and on to a Huntsman.  It all gets a little fuzzy after that.

I've not got a Climber (no saw) but there there extremely popular for a reason

A useful configuration for urbania hence the Voyager et al. Do you remember your second SAK or is the memory lost to the mists of time?

I'm curious to know (as I just don't get this saw fixation of yours  ) how many times have you actually needed that saw in an EDC situation?

1st was a Mauser Officers, 2nd was a Swisschamp, and 3rd was a Mini Champ, 4th was a Camper, then thing's get a little blury

When I'm down the woods (Me and the boy need swords everytime ), in the garden and at work all the time

Plus I find it a great comfort having one on me as I can knock up a shelter or a fire wherever I am then

Works great as a keyhole saw, like if you're installing a new wall socket or lighting fixture.   Also, if you're out on a trail, it makes quick work of woody vines/saplings that are obscuring the trail.

For me, I use the saw probably once or twice a month, obviously more when working on construction projects.

But you "prepare" to go to the woods so that doesn't count.    I'm talking about a normal EDC situation.

TBH I carry one but I don't know why.  I can see the sense of keeping one in your car but for an Urban EDC I do see very little value in one, especially in this country as knocking up shelter is just not something I think we need to prepare for when we are so highly populated and have mobile phones and taxi's that can drive you home.

Maybe I just have the wrong mindset  , if I broke down maybe I shouldn't be thinking "Right how do I get home" but should be thinking "Right lets set up camp".

If it wasn't for the fact that I have set myself up as El Presidente of the Micky Fan Club then I would totally agree with you.  However the party line is "Everyone should carry a saw at all times" . 





Duty done I think, so now I can say that I almost never have one on me either. 

[Benner]

I'm not sure if you were loyal there or not? 

[MultiMat]

My first was a Pioneer & I have had it for around 20yrs , 2nd was a Huntsman & my good wife gave it too me 7-8 years ago.
My 3rd SAK is the only one I have actually given any thought too ; The Swisschamp ? Silver Alox Farmer & or Soldier  .
I think I will get all 3 at some stage  . Might message Tim in a couple of weeks & see if he can do me a package deal 

[Benner]

My second was a Swisschamp, my first being a Mechanic.

El Presidente is a political appointment, remember.  Loyalty and honesty don't really come into it.

Don't forget most people are car-centric in this country, so you've always got a roof over your heads. I think we bikers/cyclists have a very different mindset

But in a pinch you could sleep in the car, I've never had that option

Could, but why on earth would I want to when I have so many options of how to get home?

I'd sooner have a hard nights sleep than pay some cowboy

So the bottom line is Mike carries a saw because he hates Taxi drivers.

How did you know i hated them with an insane passion

All cyclists hate Taxi drivers....they don't know how to drive.

So, you've been trying out the legendary Swiss workmanship of your first Victorinox SAK. What do you get for an encore?

First SAK was a Driver (Eco Recruit).

Next SAK was a Christmas gift (Alox Classic).

The next SAK that I purchased myself was a Climber.

In a fit of Party loyalty I've got my Camper Special out for EDC.  Never let it be said I'm not easily swayed. 

[David]

I dont remember for sure but I think it was Vic Soldier then a Farmer. After the Farmer the slope got real slippery.

[Craig]

First was a Wenger Spartan followed by a Vic Huntsman then a Swisschamp. Now I'm getting into Alox

Sadly that's very true

If I read this right, you currently only have two SAKs. There is still hope for you, run while you have the chance save your money and your sanity do you really want to end up like one of us?

My first was Brenda (sorry wrong first) a Camper, then I bought a pink classic for the wife (does that count) then a Swiss Champ but I gave my Camper away to a good friend.  Then after that the lines get blurred and the room goes dark and money disappears at an alarming rate.  IT IS A SICKNESS I TELL YOU!!!!

Aaron you do read right, I have 2 & think the Swisschamp , silver Farmer & silver soldier would see me right  I am only slightly attracted to the First Mate(shocking I know  ) Now my MT's , that is a proper sickness  .I too will do a 1'st anniversary photo of my membership of this corrupting forum & the tools I have been bullied into buying in just 12mnths(a couple of weeks away) . It is um hard to explain
