Never understood why Victorinox have not released a “Juice” sized Spirit.

For me it would probably become my daily edc for life.

I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

I think because all the tools wouldn’t share much with existing tools from other frame sizes.

I agree about how nice it could be.

Out of curiosity, aside from possibly the price, how are the current Victorinox pliers based multitools "unreasonable"?
I'm making the presumption most of the Swiss Army knives are not applicable/pertaining to your question. 😷👍
Yes. That ugly old thing in my avatar is I.
