I think that about sums it up. Some of us consider it a most basic of tools and some people don't.

BTW, the Juice XE6 is a nice tool. It is what I have in my kit and I what I connived my wife to put in her purse to replace her old SAK.

However, I find it interesting you carry the Wave when hiking - I would think smaller and lighter (although it is about as heavy as the full size tools) would be better. The XE6 has pretty much all the same tools I thought. Why lug the Wave?

In the end, I guess I should feel lucky - she let me (although she did make me squirm quite a bit) add the following to her purse:

- SF E2e (bright)
- Doug Spec Firefly w/2 stage switch (medium & low)
- Mini RSK in yellow
- Juice XE6
- (4) spare 123A batteries

So I guess I don't have anything to complain about. I just wish she wasn't just humoring me. :-)
