What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Victorinox Compact
“Awesome carry! Which Victorinox is that? I carry the Companion. It's perfect for my urban lifestyle. It has a great file which I use every time I cut my nails, an excellent package opener than can drive quite a few Phillips screws, legendary scissors, and a flathead/pry. I save the blade for food prep (fruit, cheese, etc). I carry a mini Bic lighter and Lip Naturals mini lip balm. You might consider some Gaffers tape or duct tape around your Bic. My favorite Casio is the Japanese market ABL100 which connects to the phone with bluetooth and has a step counter and phone finder.”
What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Nextool Flagship Mini
“Nextool mini flagship works for me. The scissors are insanely good, the only down side is that 2-D phillips. It is my first choice for backpacking and i pair it with a Mora knife.”
“Same happened to my Mini Flagship. It's a design flaw; unfortunately not really fixable and pretty much inevitable with how it's built. Nextool does have a 1-year-from-delivery warranty policy, but I've never used it and don't know how good it is. They might be willing to send another Flagship Pro, but expect the same failure to eventually happen again to the replacement.”
