So I bought myself a Victorinox Tinker Deluxe SAK, after my friend told me he’s been using his SAK for the last 15 years. I’m into small tinkering work, urban partisan activity and like to be prepared.

I’m not sure if it’s gonna be a life-long purchase, but from what I’ve seen, it’s quite durable. Will need maintenance and correct usage, though.

    If it is only an occasional quick tool to do something they indeed basically last forever. I think I had mine for 25 years or so now. Mostly switched to a Leatherman though as the pliers in those are often very helpful.

      I’ve been planning to get another leatherman once my funds recover from becoming a homeowner. We have one in our car emergency kit, but I think I’m finally adult enough to treat myself to either one of the s30v or 154cm bladed ones

        This is absolutely a decision based on aesthetics over functionality, but I just got myself a Signal. (Text references the bureau of sabotage from Frank Herbert’s ConSentiency novels)

          I’d love a Signal, but it’s so god damn expensive where I live. It’s literally 1/2 of my monthly rent.
