I have some thoughts about the poll.  I find it curious that there are 9 choices and yet none of them apply to me.  My thoughts turn to the purpose of a poll. Typically, polls are devised to sample people's opinions.  So, since I like the Executive, it would be nice to know if others like it.  At its most basic:

1. I'm a fan.
2. I'm not a fan.

Throw in some hyperbole ("Holy Grail"), assumptions such as "My new EDC" or start carrying it more often (hard to do when one is already carrying it each day) and you've missed my opinion (I'm a fan).

Just my $.02.

I'm definitely not a professional pollster.   :rofl:

I wanted to offer a broader range of options than just a thumbs up or a thumbs down to give a range of thumbs, up and down.

It might have been a good idea to include a simpler "I like it" option. But, the idea here was to give a range of options, pro and con. I'll never be able to capture everyone's specific thoughts about the Executive with a poll; I don't think I captured my own exact thoughts.  :D  But that's why there was the suggestion to "chose the best answer" and not "the perfect answer".

Hyperbole? I'm a fan.  :tu:

Wow, another one...

For those who might be interested in why a fellow Swiss Army Knight chooses a certain SAK over another...

I am definitely a fan of the Executive!  But then again, I am a fan of most of my Swiss Army Knives!  The common denominator is the function that Victorinox (don't have any Wenger SAKs) packs in each of its offerings.

The key advantage I see in the Executive is its size and weight while still providing my most used functions.  Since retiring in 2015, I have said goodbye to dress shirts and ties and wear gym shorts around the house in the warmer months and warm-ups in the colder months.  The Executive fits comfortably inside the pockets of my gym shorts so much so that I forget that it's there until I need it.  Since most of my SAK needs can be met with a blade and scissors, the Executive is a great fit for me.

With multiple storage drawers of SAKs available for me to use, it is always a matter of best fit in choosing one to carry.  I thought of best fit when I read Mini's post today about having to resort to a dedicated bottle opener because her technique using the Executive to open bottles did not work today.  For her needs today, perhaps the Cadet would have been a better fit (still small at 84mm and similar in weight to the Executive) with an excellent cap lifter/bottle opener.

To summarize, I have quite a variety of Swiss Army Knives and like them all.  My choice in the past has usually been driven by the occasion (Two Layer Tuesday, Three Layer Thursday, Four Layer Friday, Swiss Champ Sunday, etc.).  Many times, it meant carrying an extra SAK along with my first choice.  These days, it has been best fit (currently the Executive).

I like the Cadet a lot, but I think the Executive/Director have some advantages. To begin with, scissors! Then, better nail file. Awlso, second blade for "dirty" work (non food prep). In the case of the Executive, adds T&T. The bottle opener can be substituted by the nail file/orange peeler in (awlmost) awll ocasions.

I will probably carry other SAKs at the same time, not because I need to but because I like to.

Today, the Director was, once more, in breakfast duty. This time, a healthier version: apples, not bread and butter.

First, the scissors released them from the plastic bag.

Then, the large(r) blade cut them in small pieces for easier disposal.

Final shot: Yup, that's right! I eat awl of the apple, pits included!

Happy Chuck Yeager II Day 17!

During this challenge, I decided to take a look at Executives for sale on eBay despite already having twelve (some waiting for rehab).  The auction that got my attention described the Executive as like new and had a make offer option.  My offer was accepted and I eagerly anticipated its arrival.  Unfortunately, the "Like new" claim was a blatantly false claim as you can see in the photos below.  None of the tools had any snap upon retraction and some of the tools were scratched.  Considering the price, I decided to cut my losses and chalk it up to a bad experience.  Since the tools look restorable with sanding and buffing, I have decided to rehab it.

Pictured below, I am using my EDC Executive to remove the scales from the recently purchased Executive.  Using the small blade to do this was a one time thing since a narrow blade is not optimum for this task and can easily be damaged.  Usually, I use the wider 91mm blade from an old Spartan that already has a tweaked tip.  I have already tossed the old scales along with the tweezers and pick.  Meanwhile, the stripped Executive is soaking in hot soapy water, which is the first step in its rehabilitation.

Day 17.

There might be a theme here Nix ... I've been making more Wasp traps with the Ambassador [Note to self get Executive out for the weekend].

I find the corrugations in the bottle make for a snug fit with the funnel section and I'll try hanging this one up a tree. Results effective so far.
