It's served me well the last couple years :tu:

They are pretty tough for sure. Been through about three of them over the years.

Looked through my 58's....a bunch of Classics, a 3M logo Bijou SD and these:

Signature II, Signature Lite and a Rambler.

Do not think I have ever heard you talk about carrying a 58.

Just collectors?

The grandkids have dibs on them and my RA limits me to 84mm and larger knives so yes, just collect.

I never leave home without my Midnite Rogue: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,55347.0.html


But since you don't want pen or light, get a Rogue or a Rambler.
I actually prefer a Rogue:
1. NailCleaner - big Plus
2. No Philips - medium Minus
3. NailCleaner tip works on small Philips screws - small Plus
4. Flat Screwdriver works pretty well on medium Philips screws - small Plus

+++--++=+++ for the Rogue  :P

OK then.

Once I get home I might check out the light scale. Just want to be able to see them in person.

Good points on the Rogue vs. Rambler issue. Still undecided but the small phillips is by far the tool I need the most so Rambler is ahead by a nose or three.

Not carrying one of my cellidor SAKs because of SKTC and was wondering something.

Lets say I buy a Manager and do not want the tweezers. Could I put the toothpick in that slot?

Yep, it's interchangeable.

So I need to switch the scale or just the toothpick in the tweezer spot?

So Manager it is for Harley.  :tu:

Yeah, when you buy a new Manager, they put the tweezers in the scale, and a toothpick inside the box, so you don't have to go hunting for one if you want it instead.

Must be a newer practice. When I bought a MiniChamp a few years back, there was no toothpick in the box.

Hmm, might be, or maybe I got an old model, not sure.  Though it was NIB.  I don't know the packaging chronology.

I thought it was a nice touch, even a cutout for it in the packaging.

To show thickness, Classic on the left, Manager on the right.

Haha that's twice in two days on here I've switched left and right.  I might be losing it...

Well, I checked and this time it was the camera being switched to mirror it...still...

No worries i was able to figure it out. Have the feeling I will just have to buy one and see if I can deal with the size. Aint like they are to expensive.

So you like the color white huh?

Well the walls are light gray, my 3 yr old picked the tree because it reminded her of the Frozen movie.  And the table...well, we like white :)

Usually just in my pocket (5th pocket), as I drive my wife's minivan as much as my Jeep (and I don't have two Managers yet ;) )

I saw swiss knife shop has the Manager in sapphire (translucent blue) as well as the ruby.  And there was a seller on ebay selling new SAKs with all kinds of colors of scales.
