Hi guysI'm a little late to the party here, but I thought I'd share my experience with the Companion. I bought the Swiss Spirit SE this year intending to use it, but the scales, with all the intricate engraving, seemed too fragile to carry. Then I saw a couple people on YouTube and Reddit that removed and replaced the scales. Thanks to them I knew the scales were press fit so I slowly and carefully pried them off. Popped on some sapphire blue ones and it's been in my pocket every day since. I'll get to the package tool in a minute but what really attracted me to the Companion is the nail file. I always carry a smaller SAK primarily for the nail file and I figured this could be the perfect "one and done." After carrying it for a week now, I have to say it really is the perfect SAK for me. I'll confess, I haven't been able to let go of my beloved Executive that rides in my 5th pocket but I rarely take it out anymore. The Companion has been the only tool I need for a week straight. That might not seem like much until you know that I typically rotate through at least a dozen different SAKs on a daily basis.Now to the package opener; it's fantastic. It will open anything I throw at it easily. It cuts through cardboard like butter, and works great for opening an envelope. Plastic, tape, string, no problem. It makes a great scraper and turns a phillips head screw. Victorinox engineered this tool very well. If it seems like a tool set you might like, and you're willing to splurge, I highly recommend the Companion. It's hard to beat for every day urban carry.
I would really like to buy a Companion but I've been holding out for a "standard" version in the traditional red cellidor. Though, it's starting to feel like that's never going to happen...
