The Victorinox Executive that is.
I've had mine now for 2 weeks and really really do like it.
I'm surprised by it. The main knife blade is thicker at the
back than I thought it was going to be.
And its chisel like profile makes for a very thin cutting edge
which is very simple to get shaving sharp on my "Sharp-maker". So its a much more stout and usable knife blade than I was expecting. The peeler is a very handy flat and phillips screw driver. I'm able to mount and unmount equipment from 19" equipment racks with it. But watch for that serrated edge! Its a killer. I didn't realize it was so dern sharp and really whacked myself with it. And the scissors are nice to have. I find my self using them alot more than I thought I would. Larger models with scissors were thicker, heavier and so much harder to pocket carry. This executive just disappears in my pocket and I sometimes forget I have it. I keep the small blade for dirty jobs like opening taped boxes. I've found the cuticle pusher is really a nice pointer when I'm talking to someone over a map or chart. Its also a nice phillips screwdriver. . .I don't think men have cuticles. . .right?
So I'm really pretty happy with it. I was able to give my
key ring Classic to my wife unit because the Executive
obviates it. After two weeks I've decided I'm going
Executive all the way at least for EDC.
I'm keeping my tinker and deluxe tinkers in the car and truck
glove box, the mechanic is going into the tool box,
and I'm probably going to put my Scientist and Super Tinker
up on E-bay. I waited a long time and had a hard time
finding the Scientist so I hate to have it collecting dust
when it should have a good home. My new super tinker will
get a new home as well and I'm going to be just fine
with my new EDC Executive
