Do you know what, I've never owned a Climber, something to do with the lack of saw, me thinks :D

If you like saws, you might find a Farmer would be a good investment.  :P

I got my Climber about 2 months ago.  I got the stay glo model.  It is great and very hard to lose.

There have been a few SAK models that I sold and had to replace immediately.  I'm not certain if the Climber was one of them, but I know I had to make an emergency re-purchase of a Helmsman and an Electrician Plus in the past! :D

Mostly to support SOSAKOnline from time to time!

I sold a few I'd rather not have parted with to keep the site going.   :(  Other times it's a sale to fund another SAK or even a swap....

I suppose all my SAKs are first aid SAKs  :think:  The Swisschamp is my work EDC as the magnifyer is worth its weight in gold for splinters and objects in the eyes .Then the Climber for the rest of the time . Of course whatever SAK I EDC its always paired with my Swisstool .Then of course theres my Solo plus  :D That would make a great hard use cutter but I havnt had the heart yet to put it into action although I have used it quite alot but only on light stuff .Sometimes I cant make my mind up what to EDC so very often I'll have 3 or 4 on me  ::)
