Isn't it funny we spend so much on knives but most of us could get by with a cadet. Like I said about needed durable scales to pop bottles. Well the cadet does it better. Lots to love about all victorinox. I want an alox farmer I think.
I had one and foolishly let it slip away.
Like you said, the Cadet is damn near perfect as an EDC pocket folder.
I also find myself carrying a Case Sod Buster Jr. with Delrin covers al lot lately. I have one in black, green and orange and a yellow one on order as we speak. All of them are stainless steel. I know, I know...carbon steel sharpens better and holds an edge longer. But I hate rust. I had one in CV and seems like it turned to rust after just one day in my pocket.
