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.
I’ve carried a version of the Classic SD for over 30 years. It originally as a promotion from Marlboro cigarettes with a chain to connect it to your key ring. It gets lots of use.
When my son was young he got used to me always having it and would always ask to use it. Now he carries his own.
