Couldn't Decide
on: July 14, 2017, 08:13:31 PM
...so I did the only proper thing and ordered both.  I have a Vic Compact and Climber Plus/Pen coming my way.

I like the thinness if the Compact, but really wanted the 2nd blade of the Climber.  This issue was that I didn't want to give up the Plus features by getting the Climber.

Turns out, I found a seller that takes care of that concern.  I can't wait.

Good call  :cheers:

I know that we joke about it being the MTO way, but the truth is that sometimes the only way to know which knife or tool suits you best, is to try both of them.

I look forward to your thoughts on them after you've carried them a while  :salute:

It's funny but I really like to have a pen on my SAK because I rarely use a pen thus it doesn't make sense for me to carry a real one. But when you need one there really are few other options.

Grant had some in the MTO store recently, but they were sold.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

The only Plus scales I saw were white and they don't seem to be available.
