Might as well get an alox classic while you are at it.  It's so thin and strong it quite wonderful, but fails in the caplifter department (maybe a big deal to you or not).  A rambler of any stripe is also a great all in one.  In fact, I think it could be a great partner to a dedicated folder.

A Rambler is what I will have if the Manager ends up being to thick for my liking.

I bet it will not be though. Stuff always looks bigger in pictures.

You wont see any difference in real world use between a Manager and a Rambler.  Weight is the thing and they are for all intents and purposes the same.
My manager has "rubin" scales and my rambler is classic red.

Tip: For getting more from the blade, fold out the combo cap lifter/philips for extra leverage. Same for when writing with the pen.

Thanks for the info.

What is a rubin scale?

Vagabond is likely my favorite, but difficult to find.  I also just got a Manager (for the keychain) and got rid of the Classic.  The manager is the way to go!  Its nice having a little pen there

Rubin is a transparent ruby.
That's what it says on the box anyway.
