I carried a 91mm today. There was no use for anything but the small blade on it. Back to the Classic tomorrow!
We took a day trip yesterday. We drove from Georgetown over to Bryan/College Station, Texas. My wife Karen wanted to see the old house where she and her sisters lived while their dad was teaching at The University there. Maybe a hundred miles away. Left the house early and in our rush to ht the road, forgot my larger pocket knife of the day and had just the classic on my keyring. We visited the old home, saw the stadium where Karen and her sister Diane, had dropped rolls of toilet paper off the top of the stadium as young girls getting into mischief. We'd packed a picnic lunch with a baguette, a nice Havarti with caraway seed cheese, some bottles of ice tea in the soft side cooler.
Had no trouble cutting the skinny baguette into mini sub rolls, and slicing the cheese to go into the baguette, and slicing open the little plastic packs of mustard. Stopped for an ice cream on the way back. Maybe a 200 mile round trip in our car, (2016 Toyota Highlander) with our dog, Abby, our 5 year old Australian shepherd. Nice sunny day, temps in the mid 90's, car didn't break down, didn't have to make any lean-to's to survive the wilderness, no Comanche's on the war path to fight, no earthquakes or plagues, or disasters. Arrived back home late afternoon with no mishaps. The teeny weeny little classic served as my sole EDC pocket knife with no problem. No problem cutting open the plastic packaging of the cheese, maybe a little inconvenient slicing the bread but got it done. Didn't need a screw driver, can opener, saw, file, scissors, corkscrew, metal hacksaw, magnifying glass, awl, chisel, parcel hook, or any of the other 50 tools you can get on a SAK.
No, thats not totally true. On the way back, Karen smoothed out a chipped finger nail with her own little yellow classic that she carries in the leather keyring sheath I made for her classic.
Sooooo, a nice day trip in modern America, on modern roads, and no incidents where I needed more knife/SAK. Yes, my bantam would have made cutting up the baguette easier, but the 58mm got it done. Of course if Chinese paratroopers drop out of the sky, I'm gonna feel a little under equipped waving a classic and yelling "WOLVERINES!!!!!"
I'll worry about that when it happens.
