Lol!

Didn't mean to upset anyone.
Actually this topic got me thinking about Xmas, and gifts for non-sak people. Might end up following my own awesome advice...
Either way, whatever he gets, congratulations to the dude geting married and i hope it lasts 100 years!

My vote goes for the Alox Classic or a SwissBianco Alox Rambler.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

It's insane to think a bunch of people are going to all go marching around with your choice of SAK. The crap you have on a keychain is a personal matter and it would be presumptuous to imagine people will suddenly adopt your keychain habits.

No, it's not insane. NORMAL people don't put that much thought into it. They say: "Oh, a Swiss army knife! Cool. I've gifted several to people. One to a high school buddy. It was a Cadet, that he promptly put on his keys and has carried every day since. Another was an Alox Classic to my mom: same thing. I've given my brother probably 4 SAKs, and he enjoys each one.

It's like giving everyone furry dice for their car. The guys who want furry dice will already have them, the rest will not be thrilled to have furry dice thrust upon them.

No, it's not like fuzzy dice at all, because SAKs are useful, thoughtful, and classy. As opposed to decorative clutter.

I agree, furry dice is a lousy comparison. Apologies if I got carried away there...

Hi everyone.

I ended up getting the champion plus for $44 off amazon. I understand people's concern that its a little big for everyday carry but as a gift I think its perfect.

We are not multi-tool people, and its just cool to get a "Swiss Army Knife" with the most stuff packed on to it.

Thanks for the discussion!

congrats and great choice.  this very well may be the start for you all  :whistle: and yes having a great SAK like the Champ Plus is VERY COOL indeed.


@Thunderpants  :cheers: its hard to read tone on the net and I for one do like sarcasm as well as anyone it just wasn't registering. its all good and best of all the OP got a great gift for his groomsmen that he is stoked with.

Cadet all the way.  There shouldn't even be a discussion (unless this is a more wild and woolly wedding, then maybe a farmer).

Cheers
