I don't actually own a standard 91mm Climber, but I consider the Climber to be the essential foundation for a good Swiss knife.. My first Victorinox purchase was a Tourist, and I realised very quickly that I had cocked up by not getting scissors. Aside from one, I've not really got along with ones that don't have the corkscrew either.

What I do have is .....

Voyager Lite: Climber with inline Phillips, light and alarm clock
Climber Small: The veritable Climber in the more pocketable size (The size the Climber should be)
Brushed Stainless Traveller: Stainless scaled climber small (Wenger version) with nail file instead of the redundant small blade
Serrated Traveller: Celidor scaled Traveller with a partially serrated main blade
Evowood 14: Hardwood scaled Traveller
Soft Touch 14: Another Traveller, soft touch scales and a clip point main blade
Compact: Climber Slim  :P Lives permanently in a First Aid Kit

Ranger, Original Outdoorsman, Huntsman, CT34 and CT41 ... arguably all extensions of the Climber "foundation". In fact the only two full size Swiss knives I use that aren't built from this standpoint, are the modified DofE, and that original Vic Tourist that started the journey.

I had 6 of them at one point but sold and gifted a few.

I know how it goes not wanting to carry certain SAKs, but I have reached a point in collecting and just life in general that changed me. I will carry pretty much anything now. I don't care how rare it is. I just look at it like this. If I died tomorrow I would regret not enjoying the knives to their full potential. Sure, some knives give me joy just knowing I own them and they are in mint condition but those are become few and far between. I rather carry and enjoy them while I can. You can't take it with you when your gone.

I do plan on having my brother slip a SAK in my pocket when they put me in a casket though. If there is a after life I want to be prepared with at least one SAK and that's no joke.

Remember that if you carry a Climber too much, nothing else will do. I have learned this the hard way.  :ahhh  :D

Nice one Cap, I agree with the carry question, might as well use and enjoy them.  :tu:

For example my Spirit RT, I have it as a spare, but if my original Spirit was lost or destroyed (or even sold or given away) I wouldn't hesitate to put it to use.  :salute:
