Sherlock Holmes and the Swiss Army Knife

[macabee]

I am convinced that given the opportunity he would have obtained a "Modell 1890" SAK initially progressing to later models considering the timeframe of the books.

But what SAK would ‘Sherlock Holmes’ have in his pocket to day?

The Explorer with magnifying glass and useful tweezers, or perhaps the SwissChamp with the whole caboodle, but a bit too big for the pocket, there again he could place it on his belt [if worn!] if that were the case then perhaps the SwissTool, or would that be too heavy.

The Compact would be good, or perhaps the Executive, or............

I could go on and on.


What do you think would be best

[AHB]

Something with an awl, so he could clean his pipe.. 

[duder]

I think for a detective a magnifier is a must. And as a gentleman he would carry the thinnest Vic with a magnifier, a Scientist  .

Yeoman with Timekeeper scales on a gold chain worn as a pocket watch

Apparently he's more of a LM man these days

C'mon guys!! I'm convinced that Sherlock would use...  Compact!!!

And he'd certainly found some new usage for tools!!

The real beauty comes from simplicity...

thinking a little laterally how about a SwissCard Lite?  Has the magnifier and light for finding clues, scissors, screwdrivers and tweezers for gathering them, and the small blade would make for a great pipe bowl cleaner.  What else does he need?

Yup, and it's a "credit card" like, and we all know his bad habits....
