Early holiday present: Vic Compact

My beautiful wife got me a black compact (thanks FelineVet!). This little honey will serve me well next to my Swisstool RS (I like having a sak for the tweezers, spair blade, etc). I'll miss the phillips driver but I have my Swisstool for that.

A few things:

Question on the combo tool: this thing can really open a can?

I have to figure out some new uses for the corskcrew (other than corks).

The pen is a good thing to have. My wife is always giving me "the look" for borrowing her's.

Very nice! and the wife must be the same!

It is a bit surprising, but the combo tool works quite well on cans, but does seem to leave just a slightly rougher edge. It can really save the day though when needed.

The corkscrew carries mini-screwdriver thats almost good enough, but the standard uses besides wine opening are untieing knots, fishing things out of small holes, did I mention wine opening, and suspending your sak on a beam or tree to make a nice hanger. Very useful actually.

After +B comes though with Alox ramblers, we need to get him working on Alox Compacts.
