Where is the Compact Lack of Appreciation thread please?  :D

Maybe I should search "combo tool fails"?  :think:

That is well within your rights Señor Crepúsculo.  The combo tool has not failed me yet.  But I definitely will report back when it does.  El KC Rambler/Manager has been there for any phillips needs that have presented themselves so far.  I find that extra couple mm from the Climber + makes a difference in El Pocket.   :cheers:

Just a little pot stirring El C, that's what Sundays are for!  :cheers:

It is an eminently pocketable model!  :tu:

I'm in agreement on those extra mm's El Corkscrew.
My compact is starting to win out every time over my climber on the daily carry decision. Though I love the emerald scales on my climber, each time I pick it up and compare it to the compact all I seem to personally be loosing is the Awl and the smaller blade. I rarely need a phillips and even if so, the one on the can opener has such a small reach.
Of those, it's the smaller 2nd blade I miss the most as I find it perfect for opening boxes and packages etc.

I do miss the small blade sometimes but then remember I have a completely capable small blade on El 58mm as well.

I'm excited awaiting my executive from the MTO store, (Jeez, why isn't it here already? I ordered it yesterday for cryin out loud!).  :gimme:
If it's blade size is a good compromise I might be very happy!
That goes for the scissors as well, but I'm starting to think it might be a good edc for me when I'm feeling minimalist.

So what's all this talk about Compact supplement gear when you could have it all with a Climber? When I reach for my pocket knife, I don't have to decide which one.  :duel:

I supplement my climber with a key chain SAK as well... I really just don't miss an opportunity to carry a Swiss Army knife.  In the winter time I have an executive in the coat pocket as well.   and perhaps you are forgetting the compact does have an up on the climber with the hook file ... And you don't have to buy the plus scales separately.

Being a new owner of both, I will say the Climber feels so much larger (and not in a good way) than the Compact.

Why is this model suddenly so appealing? It should be renamed Smart :D

Why does this model cost more than other 2-layer SAKs  ???

Plus scales, file on the back of the hook, scissors cost more to produce.

Would a Bantam work? It's a little smaller, but maybe it would solve your problem. It's easier to find.

Take a look at the DofE. It's cheaper than the Compact, and also got the file on the hook. Added bonus might be that the rounded off knife blade is more acceptable for you to carry over there, without fear of people getting the wrong impression

Come on, Al! It's Pablo! No matter what blade or bladeless stuff he carries, people will always get the wrong impression...
