Never ever ever sell your only Vic Climber

I lasted about a week and had to get another

I really must invest in one.

They are a cracking little SAK, used mine for a good few years now!

Do you know what, I've never owned a Climber, something to do with the lack of saw, me thinks

If you like saws, you might find a Farmer would be a good investment.

Great suggestion! (Bet he never would have though of it himself)

I almost got one from Felinvet, he has the plus too, sooo tempting!

I got my Climber about 2 months ago. I got the stay glo model. It is great and very hard to lose.

I have a couple in Stayglow, they are excellent.

A Farmer you say

I do have a Compact, thats a bloody good scissor equipped model

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #10 on:** March 19, 2008, 12:53:41 PM

There have been a few SAK models that I sold and had to replace immediately. I'm not certain if the Climber was one of them, but I know I had to make an emergency re-purchase of a Helmsman and an Electrician Plus in the past!

Mostly to support SOSAKOnline from time to time!

I sold a few I'd rather not have parted with to keep the site going.

Other times it's a sale to fund another SAK or even a swap....

A faulty SAK?

Don't see many of those.

Dunc · **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2008, 10:56:03 PM

I think some people would have lived with it but if its going to be a trusty EDC item then I'd like it to be right .
New ones are so nice and shiny

Your right to change it mate, especially if I'm right in thinking it's your first aid sak

I suppose all my SAKs are first aid SAKs

The Swisschamp is my work EDC as the magnifyer is worth its weight in gold for splinters and objects in the eyes .Then the Climber for the rest of the time . Of course whatever SAK I EDC its always paired with my Swisstool .Then of course theres my Solo plus

That would make a great hard use cutter but I havnt had the heart yet to put it into action although I have used it quite alot but only on light stuff .Sometimes I cant make my mind up what to EDC so very often I'll have 3 or 4 on me

Spirit and spydie or wenger patriot for work mostly, plus a 58mm on my keys
