. I was a 66 Beetle pilot, as well as a 71 Westy navigator for years and we always waved at other air cooled comrades! I now drive a 2012 Beetle and have never received a wave back. Times change... With the exception of a kid at Scout Camp with a Swisschamp, the only SAKs I encounter are Spartans and Classics.
So in 1990 you got debugged?
My regular Go-To SAK is a Swisschamp XLT. Don't regret it.A co-worker of me uses a CT 33 for EDC.There are more multilayered SAKs out there than you think.
I would submit that people gift the Swisschamps, but they buy the 2-3 layer SAKs to use.My Champion and Champ are both gifts, and two friends that I can think of off the cuff both got them as gifts too. It seems to be a show of generosity to get the more elaborate ones. Meanwhile, most people that EDC a SAK, I would guess, chose a smaller perhaps more economical one to use day to day.These two groups aren't necessarily exclusive - perhaps similar the trend with firearms that was alluded to - where an individual either has none, or they have several.

For me I must have scissors for an EDC - For decades I carried a Huntsman - But these days I have trimmed down - But I still get my scissors and still manage to keep it to two layers - No - Not a Classic (or Executive) - Too small for me - The Compact !!! Love it!!!
Yes I think I should This false identity I have been living under for some time, has been concerning me greatly
So that means you now will change your username from Huntsman to Compactor?
I wave to all motor cyclists, but the guys on BMW GS's get a fist pump, too.
. For most of the people I've been around when packing my Swisschamp, their reaction is surprised at its size. I don't think it's all that large, but I'm a SAK fan. My wife thinks it's way too big, in spite of the tools you gain. Then again, she's carried the same red Classic SD on her keychain since 1978, along with a Husky multi screwdriver.
