Please forgive me. I don't get why the CADET is the more popular choice.
Sure ... its an ALOX knife now; 4 top side tools only. (I remember when Cellidor with side tools was an option, many years ago.)
The Evogrip 10 has the same top side tools: Large spear point, Fingernail File, the can opener and cap lifter with flat blade screwdriver tips (that can also do Philips screws.)
It adds the punch/awl/reamer (with sewing eye) and multi puropse corkscrew on the back side, plus the toothpick and weak tweezers side tools.
The Evo Grip 14 adds a (Wenger) scissors layer to the top layer tools
Both have "unbreakable" Nylon scales.
The added tools on the Evogrips increase the versitility ... especially the 14's scissors. SO handy ... and can pull double duty as a fork.
As an added "bonus" the Evo Grips are 89mm, so are (allegedly) "easier to pocket carry".
Please educate me.
WHY is the CADET the knife of choice for the majority that tote a basic 2 layer SAK?
(or for that matter, how the CADET, with a usable small blade instead of the fingernail file (do guys normally file their fingerrnails?!?) isn't more popular.)
I carried a 14 for a bit over a year every day, until I obtained a HUNTSMAN, which took the 14's place, and has been carried every day since.
The wood saw and multi-purpose package hook give it the edge for me.
My most used SAK tool/blade (excluding the Hercules' pliers) is the scissors.
