I have been naughty.
on: August 18, 2017, 09:20:46 AM
I had been eyeing larger SAKs for a little while, and I just now pulled the trigger on a ruby Cybertool 41 for $100 from Amazon. It is supposed to get here Saturday with free one day shipping, will post pictures when it arrives. That is the most expensive SAK purchase I have ever made, and I need the help of you wonderful enablers to tell me why I did the right thing.  :whistle:

Interesting that you should be the first to reply, as I happen to have a bottle of you on hand. This calls for a drink!  :cheers:

A CT41 is a good one!  It's the thickest SAK I dare bring around (in bag carry).  Can open up anything from a portable game console up to an SOG Multi! 

It usually costs more here so USD100 is a good price for a CT41!

The CT41 is what the Swisschamp should have been, the true flagship model of the Victorinox line. No diminutive mag glass, no fish tickler, and the ability to drive all manner of modern fasteners. I have never owned a Swisschamp, but have a CT41 in the arsenal ready to save the day when other Swiss knives just aren't up to the job.

Congrats.  You most certainly did the right thing.  Money comes and goes.  Its a small price to pay for a tool that will most certainly out live you and several generations.

I don't consider purchase of a CT41 to be naughty act. If I did, I'd be considered a very naughty boy.   :tu:

I bought mine last march as an early birthday gift to myself.
Haven't regret it for a moment. Worth every €.

If SHTF, the Swisschamp gets ditched from it's SOS pouch and the CT41 goes in :D

Got a CT34 second hand last month for €25.
Quite used, but still cheap for the condition it's in.
:think: some new scales would do miracles on that one... awesome SAK as well.

Now I need a CT29 to complete the set...
And the CT light :facepalm:

Perhaps because it trades the dubiously useful fish tickler and magnifying glass for the supremely useful cybertool.

I'm not sure you even had a choice. After all, you needed a Cybertool.

Glad you were able to recognize your need and do the right thing.  :tu:

Interesting perspective. I agree :tu:

As far as being naughty, it wasn't that long ago that a full tank of gas in my SUV cost over $100 and I'm sure your SAK will last a lot longer than that did (provided you don't lend it to Pablo)
