I gave mine to my girl friend when I was drunk-ish and I think I kinda regret having done that hehe. As a compensation I'm still trying to like my Ranger more than the Climber. Though, for some unknown reason, I can't! I'm a saw- and file-lover but Ranger's file is a destroyer, unlike the "forgiving" and "easy" file of the SwissChamp. Which makes me kinda like the Ranger less...

Maybe it's the basic configuration of the Climber or the fact that it reminds me of SAKs I used to see around when I was a kid... Dunno. But I'm starting to realize that Climber has a special place. It is that basic, uncomplicated, comparatively thin and light SAK which you forget in your drawer, sits there ready to give you a hand when you need it.

Perfect for social gatherings, opening all kinds of beverages that make you give away SAKs  :cheers: :rofl:

Pop a mini screwdriver into the corkscrew for someone's glasses, use the scissors to trim threads off the clothing of people afraid of knives. The perfect social SAK

Is your Ranger a newer model than your SwissChamp?  All of my SAKs have the finer-toothed files, including the Rangers, but mine are all older models.  As I understand it, the more recent Victorinox SAKs have a file more like the one on the Swisstool Spirit, and I assume that's the one you mean when you say it's a "destroyer"?

Oh, I think so. It's almost brand new -although I bought it second hand- so I doubt it's an older model. I never used a Swisstool Spirit but the file on the Ranger I mention is like a chainsaw :) For starters, one cannot use it to file down finger nails. I once attempted to file down a lump of lead on a silver ring which turned out to be a mistake. It removed a larger amount of lead from the ring and left wavy marks on the surface  :-\ For my purposes that file's not that practical. For harder metals though, it may be a good pick.

Maybe I should be looking out for the older model you're talking about.

@NutSAK
Wow, I did not know there was a Deluxe version of the Climber! Looks hot! Though, apparently it has a philips screwdriver instead of a cork screw. I'm not a fan of "perpendicularly located" screwdrivers (I realize that that adjective clause looks weird but please say you understand what I mean) and prefer a corkscrew.

I shined it up, it was pretty dull and scratchy when I got it.  I've found the headlight restoring compound holds a nice gloss for a long time.  :cheers:
