Two words: Alox Minichamp.
Quote from: shamus on February 10, 2014, 06:44:30 PMTwo words: Alox Minichamp.Two words: Too fat. The coke spoon has little or no real world use. I could loose the orange peeler as well as being not needed. Last time I ate an orange, the standard blade on the classic did very well in slitting the skin so I could pull it off. And the shepfoot second knife blade is too redundant. If my blade goes dull, I can stop it back on the back of a legal pad, bottom unglazed ring on a coffee mug, bottom of a ceramic plate, top edge of a car window. The SD tip of the nail file works on most number 2 phillips screws and smaller. I don't need a dedicated bottle opener as there are so many ways of opening a beer without one. House key, SD tip of the classic nail file, spoon, Bic lighter, and many more. The more you know, the less you need.
Who said that MTO is about needs?
I very often get positive comments on my classic when use it in public. How handy, cute, things like that. And very often it's when I see someone struggling to open a package with a pen, or cut something with a house key. I offer my classic, and when they see how easy a small knife, scissors, or SD tip makes life, I gift it to them.

I did discover the Alox Minichamp in the last couple of days It is pretty sexy looking and I am lusting after one :-) - Especially as the MC has been on my wish list for a while.....
@cbl51Ultra minimal carry at its finest . I just picked up a pink SD classic for my daughter and hope she gets as much use as this little guy is prepared to do. Depending on the users creativity the Classic SD can serve more than their intended purposes.
Thank you for your service. I like "Maximun Minimalism" it makes total sense.

Since my bare minimum EDC is a Climber Plus, having a Manager in the other pocket opens up options for other EDC possibilities. The Manager covers 90% of what I reach for anyway, small blade, scissors, caplifter, pen, and toothpick (for that dreaded underdone broccoli mostly) The Midnite Manager works well too, and the little LED is even brighter than the 91mm model that requires an extra thick layer and dual batteries to accommodate (but I still like it!). I've also modified a couple Jetsetters with pen and flashlight scales as well for travelling, they never have to leave my travel bag. Also I can fiddle with those without drawing blood... Also agree about introducing and giving away SAK's, I probably have given away more now than I actually have in my small collection. Nice to be able to empower people. Photo is Jetsetter 2 with Signature Lite scales that lets me carry scissorless models.
Where did you find your Jetsetter 2? The only Jetsetter model I can find is the 3 version.
What's the SD stand for? Is there a Classic and a Classic SD or are they one in the same?
I did an experiment. For a couple of months, I made it a point to use the classic
