Imagine this predicament - you're down on one knee, proposing to the love of your life. After the yes, you want to open a bottle of wine. Uh Oh - you forgot the bottle opener. This actually happened to our designer (who also happens to be a glasses-wearer). He came to the office the very next day and started to sketch a solution, a sketch that turned into Survival Rx.

So the inhouse designer didn't have a SAK on him?

Sounds like they need a new designer :rofl:

I went down on my knee with an Outrider in my pocket. :dunno:

On my wedding night I had a Hercules in my pyjama shirt pocket. Two Classics - one in each ear, in case she snored. A Mountaineer Lite on the bedside table in case I had to cut my way out of some handcuffs at 4am. Some Wenger clipper thingies in case either I or my lovely bride had nasty toe-nails catching on the quality nylon sheets. She also had one of those Wenger cigar cutters - I have no idea why cos neither of us smoked.

I wear glasses. Even if it was a good idea (it’s not  :twak:), the weight on the nose will give me a killer migraine in 15 mins.

Honestly all I ever wanted was for my eye glasses to have a removable pen. AKA pull off one of the ear holders and insta pen. I almost want to mod that.

Cheers,

You know, I'm surprised given with all the fashion stuff Vic's been doing lately, why we don't have Victorinox-branded glasses frames.  I'd buy them for sure, just because they're Victorinox.  My supposedly unbreakable (and they are, haven't broken an earpiece yet in 3 or 4 years) glasses are looking quite old. The Cerakote on the aluminum is chipping away, and the lenses are scuffed pretty badly.   I'd like to see the scales tools (pen, pin, toothpick, and tweezers) managed into a pair of glasses somehow.

All kidding aside, I imagine eye-glasses with an on-board eye-glass screwdriver would be convenient for people who wear glasses.
But having to store one in an in-board corkscrew is not the way to go. :pok:

I have to envision the people who would wear SAKglasses. :think:
In his case, the SAKses would be a weight reduction.
