Only One Knife- What Would You EDC?

Ben X · **on:** May 05, 2009, 10:02:07 AM

Most of us seem to choose to EDC a different knife often, or several knives at once, which made me think "what if we actually had to pick a knife instead of living in a SAK orgy?" Er, probably a better way to word that, but it conveys the point. Just wondering if anyone is confident enough in one knife that they would actually pick it above everything else for life to the exclusion of all others. Oh no, sounds like marriage!

I've gone for the Huntsman. Oddly this isn't a SAK I carry much as I find it a little to bulky but, if I could never have another, then this has all the tools I would want and not feel I was missing something.

Champion, the one model I have carried since I was 14 (I am 37).

As much as I love and use other sizes of SAKs,the Manager is the one I have with me consistently.I've tried other things on the keyring,but it's the Manager I keep coming back to.

If only one. Humm. Victorinox Ranger, including logo.

ducktapehero · **Reply #8 on:** May 05, 2009, 04:25:38 PM

I usually only carry 1, and right now that lucky one is a Super Tinker.

Buzzbait · **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2009, 04:54:41 PM

I love I love I love the Swisschamp. Tons of useful functions, and I don't mind the size.

The only competitor might be the Cybertool Lite. I don't have one yet, but the Cybertool Lite is awfully tempting. It would combine the beloved magnifier of the Swisschamp, my Photon microlight, and my wonderful Cybertool 34. I've been using the Cybertool 34 at work for almost 8 years now, and would feel naked without it. One of the best SAKs ever made. Genius!!!!

I just traded for a Swisschamp. I haven't had one in years and I'm excited to be getting another one. I'll have to check out the Cybertool 34.

Congrats on the Swisschamp. The Swisschamp isn't just a tool. It's more like a way of life. You feel like there is nothing that you could not do, as long as you have your Swisschamp.

The Cybertool34 is a masterpiece, if you happen to work on computers for a living. All of the tools were designed with computer work in mind. It is also very good for everyday stuff, but it really shines in the computer arena. The bit driver is simply phenomenal.

OHT, love that knife

WhichDawg · **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2009, 05:54:52 PM

if your talking about a SAK only (I'd have a dedicated fixed blade if I could only have one blade forever)
with what I have now it would be my OHT. Nice size, enough implements, and well made.

Swisschamp for me.

grimm_kaosboy · **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2009, 07:26:28 PM

Voted for the swisschamp, same model I've been carring since high school. I'm 40 now, don't see a need to change

turbov21 · **Reply #21 on:** May 05, 2009, 08:47:25 PM

I actually only have one SAK right now, and its having successfully suited me for so long is what keeps me from indulging in the orgy you mentioned. So answering this is actually pretty easy. I'd pick the VIC Super Tinker. Two blades, flat head, Philips head, awe/punch, etc. works very well for my day-to-day needs.

(I voted Other, simply because there's a Tinker and then there's a Super Tinker, and I have the latter.)

Craig · **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:05:12 PM

Swiss Champ all the way

Swiss Man · **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2009, 10:08:05 PM

The toss up for me was the OHT and Swiss Champ. I love the OH blade and the massive locking PRY BAR screwdriver and the saw.

But I started thinking I really really like scirrors and mag glass and in line phillips and since I can't carry a Classic with this then the Swiss Champ won.

So did the AIR NAZI's collect all the knives? What happened to all of them should I start stockpiling saks now, So many to buy not enough time or money.

Until I joined this forum I thought it would be too big to EDC; in reality I hardly notice it's there - until I need it that is

CyberTool 41.

DaveK · **Reply #29 on:** May 06, 2009, 02:32:01 AM

I've gone "other". Cybertool, as I seem to need screwdrivers more than anyone else I've ever met
