Wife's Swiss Army Knife
on: October 05, 2020, 04:48:23 PM
You know your wife carries and uses a Swiss Army Knife (Compact) when you see it laying on her nightstand with her earrings.

Nice. I just had to fix my wife's Bavarian Classic. Scale started coming off from a drop. Anyway, I know she uses it because the blade was coated in tape residue. Cleaned and touched up the edge for her too.  :D

Mrs Surge is a recent convert, although I did buy her a pink SD years ago (which was lost  ::) )

This is her current EDC (Alps Cheese Classic 2019) Two pics to show both scales, not that she cares  :dunno: :rant:

Mine carries a blue Climber in her purse. Used infrequently.

My wife carry the very same Alp Cheese 2019 as Mrs Surge does.  :cheers:

And before that, she carried an advertising Classic for 4-5 years... which was replacing another Classic, seized by the Thailand customs at Bangkok airport when we were travelling 12 years ago.

My wife bought a skateboard this year and to mark the occasion, I got her the skateboard Classic.  Unfortunately, it is still on the fireplace.   >:(

I don't have a photo right now, but I gifted my other half the Super Tinker Winter Magic edition.



Compact was my first choice but she loves the scales on the Winter Magic.

My late wife used to carry a Classic SD in traditional red, and a Huntsman in the sapphire blue.

The current Mrs. EMarkM doesn't want a Swiss Army Knife AT ALL.

She just wants to borrow whichever one I'm carrying - uses it more than I do some days!!!!!!

Nice! My wife carries her Classic in her purse (pink, of course) and uses it more frequently than I ever expected.

My wife has a stayglow rescue tool in her car and a ‘sneaker’ scaled SD for the keychain.

Kids don’t have their own yet (aside from the plastic toy one), but can borrow most users like a library. Under supervision depending on the tool use requested.

My wife keeps requesting I build her one and I really should. 🤔😁

ONE!?!?!?

 :rofl:

I would have guessed Mrs. Syph to have at least 10.  :dunno:

Wife carries a pink classic sd on the key chain. She also like the size of the sportsman, I actually think a cadet would be a good purse knife for her

It is quite funny.  As wife, I thought the opposite: which knife for the husband?  I had given him a huntsman and he keeps it in the backpack he takes with him to work.  But he doesn't always have it with him, and reading your posts I realized that I have to fix it.  I think I'll choose a manager or rambler, and will  put it on his keychain.

Good choices. If he carries a wallet, the Classic SD Alox fits quite easily at only 6mm and 16g... easy to have on hand without thinking about it.  :cheers:

 :like:  Well done.  Either is a great companion that will be ready when husband needs a tool.  I love the Manager personally but either is great.
