If I'm dead honest, I'm the same. Friday nights, I go to a freind's house and drink beers that need to be popped open. It's not like they don't HAVE bottle openers in their kitchen, but it's more... 'fun' I guess... to use a SAK.

And most of the cutting I do is cutting open mail... which is usually packages with other multitools. :D

For me it's beer and mostly cutting up all of the amazon boxes that come with my wife's orders. I have no idea what she is ordering as we sort of have an unofficial 'don't ask, don't tell' policy regarding impulsive online purchases, but they often arrive in pairs and sometimes twice a day :ahhh

I'm in for Waiter Wednesday :D

I flew in to a cool town for work and the rush meant I had no checked baggage. I needed a pocket tool to cover the basics with the least outlay (likely to lose it again) so I grabbed a Waiter at the local outdoor shop.
It’s opened more boxes in the last two days than I have probably opened in the last 6 months; I don’t feel bare.
Beers after hours too!

I've been traveling a lot for work this last month, with nothing but carry-on luggage and a Style PS. So it is such a pleasure to be home now with a Waiter in my pocket :tu:

Oh yes, the Waiter! A good two weeks ago I bougth two 84 mm Vic's off ebay dirt cheap, just to get a feel for that size, one Waiter and one Sportsman. I like them both, but the Waiter was a true relevation! So ligthweight and small yet so capable. I fell in love with it instantly and it made me to reconsider what you need and don't need on a SAK. Truly a gem.

I only miss the scissors a bit. Victorinox really should make a 84 mm Compact or even "Golfer", the hook is not that important for me.

+1 for the 84mm idea.

I must admit, I do miss the hook if I carry a Golfer.

I recently got an Alox Bantam.

Now I'm torn between the two. When you talk about ultimate slim and lightweight carry, that Bantam is a miracle. But the other tools on the Waiter are legitimately useful.

ThePeacent, try setting all those knives you have pictured on a scale. My mind is blown how lightweight the Waiter is compared to most other knives. AND it gets you more functions. The Opi MIGHT beat it, but I'm not even sure of that.
