Swiss Army Climber II vs. original

[chickenfried]

Well my hankering for a slipjoint has gone from a canal st. cutlery whittler to a SAK. On Amazon they have both a swiss army climber and a swiss army climber II. Any idea if there's any reason why I should choose one over the other? Thanks.

The climber II is an eco version of the regular climber. All that means is that the handle scales are made of a different material.(nylon) Other than that they are the same. Some people say that the eco scales are actually more durable and chemical resistant than the regular ones.
