Let's get down to some hard ANALYSIS and stop with silly OPINIONS!

Hardness:
SAK: 55-57
Wonderknife: 61-80
Conclusion: SAK will have to be touched up regularly. Wonderknife edge will last average twelve years but you will hone it hourly because it is a WONDERKNIFE!

Materials:
SAK: Cheap old German 1.4110 stainless steel.
Wonderknife: Shape changing plasma VAPOR metal (stable under 325 degrees)
Conclusion: SAK useless except for the tweezers to pick up Wonderknife molecules if frozen by accident.

Handle:
SAK: PLASTIC
Wonderknife: Paraguayan musk parrot beak.
Conclusion: SAK will break. Wonderknife will last forever wrapped in tissue in gun safe.


Price Point:
SAK: Ridiculously cheap.
Wonderknife: ...IF... YOU HAVE TO ASK.....
Conclusion: NO pride of ownership of SAK.

Availability:
SAK: Not available at lingerie shops.
Wonderknife: Simple background check and reasonable waiting period during which you can advise grandchildren of expected shipping date.
Conclusion: SAK will be in your estate yard sale; Wonderknife will be shipped soon.

It therefore appears that the Swiss Army ...Knife(?)... will be bent or broken at some time from using it and if it doesn't break, your heirs will throw it away.
While, on the other hand, the Wonderknife will be a source of pride as long as you live and then your heirs will throw it away.

;) :D
 
Sorry, this is a knife forum. It's impossible to separate opinion from fact. I wouldn't keep a SAK if you gave me one. I'd rather carry a folder or small fixed blade in 440 C and a multi-tool based around pliers than a SAK. No facts here just my opinion based on my experience. :D

From my experience 440C holds a better edge as you are suggesting, but the gap really isn't all that much. If we were comparing SAK stainless and 154CM and higher wear resistance, then it becomes more noticable. For an EDC role a SAK holds a decent edge.

Other then that it's your oppinion and I won't fault you for making the wrong choice. ;) :p
