Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox Cadet Alox
“I bought them in a reliable shop in Germany that sells a lot of Victorinox stuff.”
“Even this sub is so far from serious EDC its laughable at times. Ppl be carrying a leatherman, knipex cobra, pm2 and a fixed blade. I heard you like redundancy so we put some redundancy in your redundancy... I edc a victorinox compact, my keys and my phone. The victorinox solves 99% of my daily issues. Sometimes I wish I had a leatherman for the pliers, but it's too annoying to carry for the 2 cases a month where I might need it.”
