About 7 years ago, my sister got a Victorinox Climber on her birthday. She used it for about a year, then lost it. It was found recently, and after a trade today it became mine. I love the tool selection. I cleaned it, sharpened a HUGE ding out of the scissors that hindered their closing, got off a little oxidation, and sharpened up the blade (which is covered in light scratches, but still in very good condition, as is the rest of the knife). The only tool I would change is the corkscrew for a phillips, but college isn't too far away, so it's too early to say which tool I'll have more use for ;) . Oh yeah, I also had to use one of my dad's spare toothpicks to replace the one she lost. It replace my Soldier as my EDC. The Soldier seems to have too few functions for me to be happy, my Explorer has too many for EDC, and the Cybertools are out of the question. I also prefer cellidor handles (call me crazy). I'm just tickled that I got the knife that I have wanted to buy without having to pay more than some old Playstation games :p
 
Nice to see a lost SAK get rescued like that :)
The Climber is a nice model.
 
The Climber really is a great tool. And believe me in the college and post college years the corkscrew will be greatly appreciated.
