BTW I assume the retractable pen in a Manager doesn't count as an extra layer, so a Manager would still be a valid carry? Would have been useful today as I went into a meeting without a pen and it wasn't appropriate to leave the meeting to get one, so I may carry my Manager tomorrow.

 It's a rather beat-up one with translucent blue scales, but I have some 58mm solid red scales with pen slot on order (and a new slider button). I'm quite a traditionalist, I much prefer solid scales!

A Manager is fine.  The 2 layer 58mm knives seem to offer the most utility for their size - especially if you consider the extra scale tools available.  Maximal minimalism. :tu:

I would, by then I couldn't bring my Cadet! I need at least two inches of sweet victorinox steel to get me through my day. :-)

It's not so bad, if your day doesn't consist of a lot of cutting. I'm an office don't. Most days at the office, I only have a Classic on my keyring, or in my pocket. If I want something bigger just for the sake of carrying it, I'll do so, although I usually like small and light when wearing slacks.

Maybe I'll try it for one or two days out of the month, maybe. :D

But it's not just the larger blade, it's also the three different sizes of screw driver tips the Cadet has! I just feel naked with out it!  :ahhh

Day 4:

One of the drives failed in the RAID array in my DR site... New drive arrived. Needs opening.



Afterwards, a little honing on the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup.



This one gets the coffee (it's larger and more accurately represents my mood most mornings):

Looking good Gents!

Day 4: Mail call with the cheese sword. A 3½ ounce hammer for challenge-related purposes  :D

I REALLY felt the lack of openers/drivers on the cheese sword today. I discovered a loose screw on my bike reflector mount during my afternoon commute.
A bantam/cadet/compact driver would have been preferable to the corkscrew I ended up trying to use instead :rant:

All I know is that I don't know anything - but I can't prove it!

So were you successful in tightening the screw? Was the SAK corkscrew up to the task or did you have to reach for another tool?

I was able to budge the screw. But failed to tighten it enough. I had no other tools available to do the job, so my bike was not up to code until I got home and found a proper bit ratchet.

Day 4, Swiss Army issue 1971.  :)
Sweet!  :tu:

Yours too Mags.  :tu: The standard issue alox seems to be a popular minimalist choice, whether it be Vic or Wenger. They may lack the tool selection of the officer knives, but what tools they do have are hearty! I still wonder why they replaced them with 111's when they are still so popular and useful.  ???

Good to know the knife's limitations I suppose. I have a Käsemesser in the kitchen drawer that I can't use this month because I need to open tin cans too often!  :ahhh Even the combo tool on the Compact I was carrying yesterday was not a good choice, I prefer the standard opener for that, and also it's so much better for screws.

Day 4

Today's biggest task was opening a bottle, and the can opener was up for it. I must admit that I don't know how you'd open a can with it (and the only YouTube video on the subject did it wrong) but it works surprisingly well for opening caps.

I have a question. If I take a pair of tweezers out of my classic and stick them in my wallet just in case, is that cheating? I am of course carrying an alox cadet, so it doesn't have tweezers on it's own.

BTW I assume the retractable pen in a Manager doesn't count as an extra layer, so a Manager would still be a valid carry? Would have been useful today as I went into a meeting without a pen and it wasn't appropriate to leave the meeting to get one, so I may carry my Manager tomorrow.

 It's a rather beat-up one with translucent blue scales, but I have some 58mm solid red scales with pen slot on order (and a new slider button). I'm quite a traditionalist, I much prefer solid scales!

I'd say it's certainly allowed. :tu:  The pen is a scale tool, not another layer. :)

Today I only had my new black onyx Rambler on me. Started on my keys, ended in my coin pocket alone. :D

There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Are other tools permitted? Like, what if I were carrying, say, slip and snup scissors, a small pair of IDL pliers, etc?

Rule number 5 of this challenge says you can carry dedicated tools for specific tasks so I would think it is OK.

"5. No other multis or knives allowed.  Dedicated tools are OK if you need them for a particular job (pliers, saw, etc.)"
