Y'know, I can understand them exploring the whole concept of interchangeable blades on the first version, but after it flopped so badly (at least I think it flopped badly) it is surprising that they would have invested all the time and money to develop a second version. :P

In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Indeed !  :salute:

And not only did they take the time to redesign the spring/locking mechanism...



They developed new useless (in my personal opinion) tools like the mirror/tweezer/pick/pen holder :ahhh 



Wouldn't it be easier to add all this in the scales/handles without sacrificing space for other tools ?? :think:

Tweezers and toothpicks and pens in the scales? :think: Why that couldn't possibly work. Where did you come up with a crazy idea like that?! ::) :D

I disagree, tools in the scales increase the overall thickness so its not for free (e.g. Classic vs. Alox Classic is a whooping 3mm). Also it would be in contrast to the whole concept.
A mirror is a pretty clever tool addition. I mean who hadn't wished for a mirror to check if there is any spinach between his teeth before going into an important meeting.

Love the idea, not sure about the execution.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

That's why SAK blades are so shiny, mirror like even :whistle:

 I would like to see it side by side with a 91mm SAK. It looks horrendously big for the number of tool it supports.
