Thank you very much Dwayne. You made my decision easier.
I have been looking at Mac knives.
The 7" Victorinox is a no brainer to have around for the price and with your positive recommendation. I will get one.
With that in mind, and having the above mentioned 7" , I believe the Mac MTH-80 would be a good birthday present. I have researched it before but it was 8". Having both will solve my dilemma. Great!
