Great review of a great knife. One trick I learned using the Rambler; with the blade open, open either the nail file or Phillips driver and you’ve got an improvised extension to the handle. Even better with both nail file and Phillips deployed. Gives you a better grip if using the blade for heavier or longer tasks

Great tip

The Rambler is always in my pocket. Just the right number of tools on a little knife that doesn't even pull down my pajamas, when I'm bumping around the house.

@@SlipjointSawyer If you take apart one of those allen wrench fold-up pocket sets, you can carry just the ones you want. Then, since they are curled over on one end, you can use the "cap lifter" on your rambler for leverage to turn allen screws/bolts on a bike or Ikea furniture. (Put the lifter through the loop and turn so the pressure is not collapsing the tool)

It's a shame they discontinued the Manager. I bought a Rambler a few months ago and really love it but it would be great to have a pen as well.

On peut encore trouver le manager sur certains site, mais effectivement c'est dommage d'avoir arrêté la production car pour moi c'est le meilleur 58mm

In short: yes. Slightly longer: yes, absolutely. One of the best available models. The Manager hasn't left my pocket for more than a handful of days since I got it years ago. (Manager was discontinued this year. It is a Rambler but has a pen instead of one of the scale tools.) Can stand for itself but is a great companion for other knives/multitools. Thx for the video, Slippy.

Except that the light is not bright at all. In pitch dark you may see 2 m far with trouble, but honestly: the led is a joke. I "downtuned" my Midnite Manager to a normal one: this reduced the thickness considerably and created room for one scale tool.

This is my second favourite 58mm. The Manager is better than the Rambler because it comes with the ballpoint pen.
