Excellent choice.  The Compact is still one of my favourite urban EDC knives. :D

My thoughts exactly.

In truth I spend most of my time in an urban area and don't ever need a saw, so the compact still makes great sense.

...and a phillips screwdriver....

But then I guess you get away from the thing that is so nice about the Compact....  minimalism.

I know this is an OLD thread, but I just wanted to add that I have recently become a Compact Convert! Such a perfect little knife, I got mine with Transluscent Green scales and it is Beauty!  :cheers:
