RE: The Knives Community/hive-186221 (Totally not an excuse for me to post my new knife)

in Knives5 years ago

The genuine swiss knifes from Victorinox or Wenger are really not bad, and affordable too. The one I have shown is a more high end type and fairly big. I have also a typical red one from Wenger which is the size of a finger, that is ideal for everyday use. I have it for 25 years or so and its still perfectly fine.
I do have a mini version of a Leatherman, but thats a bit small as a proper tool. Similar size to your hummingbird knife, just with a number of different tools on it. Generally I don't use things like the Leatherman stuff. Its a bit over the top with all the tools, too much for the usual requirements. And if I need all those tools - I rather use real tools, they work better anyway.
In a way its similar with knifes: its best to use the right type for the job that needs to be done. And I have knifes for all kinds of jobs. The problem is just to know what job is coming up next. :)
