6:37 my wife and I have had the classic Swiss Army knife for over 15 years, and replaced them many times after having to toss them before going into a concert. For the issue with the keychain loop being close to the knife, I use a lobster claw keychain clasp on the knife side, and the lobster claw to attach to keychain. This makes it very easy to detach from clunky keys and it does not get in my way when using that knife, which I do multiple times per week. You could also do it the other way around.

The Victorinox Rambler is slightly thicker than the Classic SD that you included on your list. It adds one more tool. A combo phillips head screwdriver/bottle opener.
@freman0074 ай бұрын
Also it puts the blade at the opposite end from the keyring, which makes it a bit easier to use.

I have 58mm Victorinox Signature Lite- the brother of the 58mm Classic SD. On the place of toothpick and tweezers there are LED light and pen. Good tool! Plus one more combo tool with bottle opener and Philips crewdrover- the Signature Lite becomes a Victorinix Midnight Manager. It another good tool!

So SOG knives name is just "SOG" which it got from a vietnam era government program called "MACV-SOG". The "SOG" in the original government agency did stand for "Studies and Observation Group" but the the company "SOG Specialty Knives" is just "SOG".

UPD: TPT can also open bottles, but until razor blades could be dammaged)
