Case 6333 and ever-present Cadet...

I'm getting into Victorinox now, after getting my first one, a Moomin-themed Camper. I love this and intend to get more. Goes great with my other knives, I can see myself carrying this instead of a Leatherman sometimes.
I would really love to make a Spydernox, out of, I think a Cadet is what they fit into? Woud love to put twin Dragonfly blades in there, a wharncliffe K390 blade and a waved saber-ground VG-10 one. That would be awesome! I still am unsure exactly how Spydernox's work, would love an official collab!

No fancy pictures from me. That's not my thing.

91mm Compact + 85mm Delemont Junior 09.

Combining these 2 SAKs gives you all the functionality of a Huntsman/Fieldmaster, except it's easier to carry.

Back tools:

-Corkscrew w/ mini screwdriver
-Phillips screwdriver
-Hook w/ nail file

Main tools:

-Locking blade w/ round tip and half-stop
-Slipjoint blade w/ drop point
-Nail file w/ nail cleaner tip; can also be used as inline awl (light duty only)
-Combo tool (can opener, cap lifter, screwdriver, wire notch)
-Scissors
-Wood saw

Scale tools:

-Pressurized pen
-Straight pin
-2 sets of tweezers; one to keep as normal and one to modify w/ angled tip
-2 toothpick slots; one to store a normal toothpick and one to store a ferrocerium rod

So basically you get 4 layers split into 2 separate 2-layer SAKs, for a much easier to carry setup. You get all the functionality of a Huntsman or a Fieldmaster, except you get to have both the Phillips and the Corkscrew at the same time instead of being forced to choose just one. Plus you get some features that the Huntsman/Fieldmaster doesn't have.

If you feel like you don't need scissors or a hook, then you can swap the compact out for an 84mm Waiter, but you will also lose the pen. With a Waiter + Junior 09, you've got the same toolset as the Camper/Hiker, but once again it's easier to carry due to being split up between 2 separate smaller SAKs.

One of my favorite things about carrying a Junior 09 is that because of the blunt tip of the blade, it looks like a small butter knife. This makes it an extremely non-threatening option to use if you need to pull out a knife in front of other people.

There are also a few minor drawbacks worth mentioning.

-The saw on the Junior 09 is shorter than a Huntsman/Fieldmaster's or Camper/Hiker's saw, but not by much. It's a pretty small difference.
-In terms of actual usage, having the dedicated can opener tool is better than just having the combo tool.
-The nail cleaner obviously doesn't work as well as an awl in comparison to the actual awl tool. You're also losing the sewing eye functionality, but 99.99% of people never use the awl to sew with anyway.
