Great idea! Got to find a nice orange lanyard. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I need this in a 74mm frame… and possibly with the “orange peeler” from the MiniChamp, and one other tool… maybe something new, like a letter opener?

That sounds awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this great video! And how cool that your wife is there with you too! Sometimes, from some of other's videos, I get the impression that they're hiding down in the basement, hoping their wife doesn't find out what's going on 😅. I really dig your red and blue combination! I'm 52, just within the past couple of months have developed an interest in SAKs. They're definitely more affordable than motorcycle modifications (which was my previous hobby), and "almost" as much fun 😅. Just picked up my 3rd last Wednesday, a Rambler. My first two were the Huntsman and Fieldmaster, definitely great tools, but I quickly realized that they're just a tad bulky to be carrying in my pocket all day. I attatch whichever one to a Keysmart pocket clip so that they hang inside my front pocket. So far, I've switched the scales on both bigger knives: one now has green aluminum,, and the other has Tero Tuf, which I like the looks and feel of better. Have been toying with the idea of titanium scales for the Rambler, it's just difficult to justify the cost 😬😅. Thanks again! Looking forward to more content! Best wishes!

Hey, shout out to a fellow 52er! I really appreciate the feedback, and yes I am fortunate the wife is tolerant of the hobby. I like her input from the aesthetic, non-knife nut aspect. I haven’t braved a sak scale change as yet, but enjoy mods and upgrades, so maybe soon. The small army of classic sd’s I seem be acquiring could sacrifice one for the cause! Thanks for watching and commenting, it really helps!

I bought a Classic SD because I really liked the Everglades NP design scales. Quickly found out I did not like the blade opening toward the key ring. I ordered the Rambler a week later, switched the scales over, and couldn’t be happier! I’ll be carrying this thing until it wears out.

Agreed! I really wish they would do some varied colors in the Rambler!

One of the last Victorinox knifes i bought is the Midnight Manager@Work. It has the same tools as the Rambler but the tweezers and the toothpick are replaced with a white LED and a Pen. And it has a 32GB USB C thump drive. And i got myself a Victorinox Hunter Pro Alox in the two handed opening version.

Those Nite models look so sweet, but I have not seen one with the thumb drive! That is really cool. I was searching through drawers just yesterday for a thumb drive for the wife to use. I finally found one, but how cool would it have been just to pull out a SAK and viola, thumb drive provided! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I wish they would release a version of the smaller knives with a slightly wider and deeper blade even if it stuck out a bit that thing always feels like its going to snap off

No that is a good upgrade idea! Thanks!

My only EDC now (aside from phone/wallet/keys) is The Manager (Rambler + Pen). The Phillips/bottle opener is the BEST combo tool Victorinox has made. Why? Because it's a SMALL, inline Phillips. It's the perfect size for the small screws you find in electronics (which I deal with FAR more than "regular screws). And the bottle opener portion eliminates the other openers because honestly... I can't remember the last time I needed a can opener in a pinch. 🤷 Plus, the nail file (which I use often) had a small slotted driver for those rare chances. I don't want a light. I have a phone. And once I learned about a trick to opening a wine bottle with a house key (yes this comes up, don't judge me), having a cork screw became less necessary. The only things I want on the manager (and I'm working on it) are a toothpick and a SIM tool. I'll probably just have to modify the scales a little.

@@LrdwEDC As far as I understand, they're not making Managers now. I can't find them on the site or on Amazon. HOWEVER, they still make the Rambler (Manager without the pen, but you could add blue Plus Scales to get what you want), and I can still find the MIDNIGHT Manager, which is a Manager with a "flashlight" LED in it (however, I don't know how easy it would be to get after market scales made for the LED).

Thanks for sharing! The blue on red is worse than meh, it's blech! Mixed saturated primary colors are too aggressive. White or pastel scales would play nicer with such a vivid accent color. For something more playful, contrast colors like blue, green & yellow. (Research design style "Memphis")

The rambler is just a bit thinker, and adds the bottle opener, Phillips head screwdriver, and wire strippers, and the Philips is magnetized! Additionally the blade opens opposite the keyring, which really helps. Thanks for watching and commenting!
