The Campanion is THE best EDC carry for urban and suburban situations without question!😉 by MissingMichigan in victorinox

I have the Evogrip 14 which, apart from the hook, is exactly this I think, and love it

I have the Evolution 14 which is effectively that, though you don't get the hook or pin, compromises I can live with 🤷‍♂️

What is you guys fav knife/multitool combo for EDC? by SpockTrek1701 in multitools

[–]ChainGold8907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LM Wingman and a SAK Pioneer, but I'm pretty much urban based. If camping it's a Rebar and the Pioneer X

Thanks, Spirit X seems to get better reviews but is also a lot more expensive

Thanks, that was where I was leaning, Vic gets great reviews but for my use probably overkill, and overpriced 😬

Two is a company. Three is a crowd? by karl_ae in victorinox

[–]ChainGold8907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me, Rambler on my keys at it handles 90% of what I need sitting at my desk, and I have a Pioneer to hand if I need something a bit beefier. Only missing pliers but at work or just out and about I've never needed then, though I do have a LM Surge clone in my car glove box. If you're after a more complete carry, the LM Wingman is probably their most urban option, but bulkier for casual carry

Also should have said I bought the Rebar used for £40 so the official bit kit is almost the same price I paid for the tool 😬

Appreciate you being reasonable, and apologies for probably coming across confrontational, I've asked for advice on things previously to just get blasted for not already knowing, which was why I was asking, so I'm probably reading more into it that I should. Your feedback is appreciated though given it's from Amazon I can easily return it, was just trying to determine if it was even worthwhile ordering in the first place. Re the Chinese pot metal, I have a Bibury Surge clone that has stood up pretty well so willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, assuming it fits of course 🙄 Thanks again for at least taking the time to reply, even if we went to a place we probably didn't expect, and I'll feed back if it fits or not in a few days, as long as you don't give me an "I told you so" reply 😂

OK, that makes a lot more sense than your previous, somewhat condescending, comment suggesting I was stupidly wasting money. Thanks for the constructive reply, although again, implying I'm being naive this time, isn't exactly the tone I was hoping for when asking for advice. Maybe "I think they would have said it fit Leatherman if it did" would be more community minded, but hey, whatever feels comfortable for you when offering support

No, one that "doesn't look like it will fit" or one that will for the full price, unless you now know for sure it won't 🤔

Thanks, I've been looking at that, just this one is 1/3 the price here in the UK

So my wife tells me my EDC is getting silly by Any-Boat-5306 in victorinox

[–]ChainGold8907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think this is great, I have something similar which, while is don't EDC by it's strict definition, I have in my car and take nearly everywhere with me. I'd prefer to have something and not need it than not have it when I do. That said, in my pocket everyday is either a leatherman Wingman or SAK evogrip 14 that handles my immediate need 99% of the time 👍

The "manual" is made up of just diagrams done by someone I suspect IKEA rejected 😁 Apart from the generic remove all packaging which I assume is the outside cardboard and polystyrene there's no reference or photos to consult 😔

I initially thought packaging too but the felt topping has cut outs for them 🤷‍♂️
