I tend to carry the Cadet in situations where I'm a bit more dressed up than usual. Jeans or shorts? I usually carry a larger SAK. Khakis and a sport jacket? Cadet all the way. Lack pf scissors isn't a problem since my Executive is always on my keys. Sent from my SCH-S738C using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Good one buddy! I personally find myself carrying the cadet a lot more often than my Pioneer. the Pioneer is great but the cadet is such a slim, lightweight and very able little companion when it came to the tasks that usually required bigger tools. I only have the silver alox. but if you can score a red one, that would be so cool
You just have the bug, like all of us here. It's never enough and there is always a reason for another.
I saw them in a shop in Bernkastel (Germany) when I was there in April and I thought about buying one, but they seemed a bit to expensive considering a full size tool like the Spirit costs about the same as two of the cadets (I tend to count in Spirits, not in Euros or Dollars ).Anyway, I'm going back to Germany in August, maybe I'll get one then .
Personal opinion ... the Cadet has a lot going for it, but has too much missing for my tastes. Whilst the Cadet has the makings of being good, I prefer the Sportsman as it adds scale tools and two great back tools. I prefer the Wenger Traveller even more though as it adds scissors
You need a Cadet. No SAK lover is complete without at least one.

Ah, so you've already done some recliner shopping huh?Just lookin,but I keep lookin at that model. Its gonna be the Cadet or an Explorer Plus. I know theres a big difference in tools but that Cadet "pops" for me. Safe to say the Victorinox bug has taken hold.

Those are far more expensive than the red, black or silver ones.
