Victorinox, mic drop.
Victorinox. For when you have to get it done.
I think there's a lot of misconceptions going around based on people being used to, and accepting, blunt blades.
Nice one, Carl You're probably quite right there. I gave my brother a Wenger Traveler a few years ago, and a couple of months ago, he asked me about sharpening it needless to say, it was very blunt. I refused to sharpen it for him, and taught him how to do it instead. He'll still probably approach me again when it gets too dull to cut anything though.
Soooo, I'm at Home Depot getting some thick rope for a project in the yard that will involve the granddaughter when she comes out for spring break. I reel off some thumb thick nylon rope from the big spool mounted and takeout my pocket knife. the Home Depot guy says that I can't cut that thick a rope with that little knife. The knife in question is my EDC Victorinox executive that is a permanent passenger in my coin pocket. I take out the main blade and get ready to cut and the Home Depot guy is telling me to wait while he goes and gets something capable. Being a SAK knight I start cutting. It takes four swipes of the blade from heel to kick and the rope is cut. He's amazed and says he didn't think that that dinky little knife would cut that. I look at hime with as strait a face as I can put on, and simply tell him, "It's a Victorinox Swiss Army knife. They do most anything." He makes out a tag for the number of feet of rope and I go off up front to pay for it. He never says anything more. Victorinox. For when you have to get it done.
