>Spoken like someone who's never used a really good screwdriver.

Again, no. I have a very fine set of tools available for jobs large enough when it'll matter.

You just seem really invested in the idea that the SAK sucks, when it just doesn't. It's entirely sufficient for most small jobs. That there exist BETTER options for larger jobs does not mean the SAK sucks.

>I'd just hate to see anyone inadvertently misled into overspending on a broadly unsafe "all things to all people" social statement play, the exact equivalent in taste and quality of a Mont Blanc fountain pen,

I have absolutely no idea what you mean to be saying with this sentence.

Are you arguing that Victorinox knives are expensive and dangerous? That's a wild thing to say. The one in my pocket was like $35, and it's safe as houses.

Are you arguing they're somehow equivalent to high-end fountain pens? That's even crazier, since perfectly delightful fountain pens exist at a fraction of the cost of a Mont Blanc (which, IME, is a pen that people who care more about brands than nibs buy).

Maybe take a breath, and try again?
