If you could only have one SAK...

I rotate between the Huntsman and Climber in a belt sheath.Though I don't use the saw much(never),so it's mostly the Climber more often than not.I ALWAYS have the Classic and Rambler on my keychain.
 
Does anyone know a web site that shows a table with each model and the tools that come with it ?

At one time I found one, but now I can't find it.
 
Another for the Soldier or Pioneer! I just happen to have the....

The old Motorist, with the point file, Phillips head, tweezers, toothpick, St. Christopher in the handle. I thought it was a corny knife when my wife gave me one 38 years ago, then used it every day to fix cars, TV sets, doors, toilets, anything that came along it could handle-- except age, which disintegrated the handle to where it now lives in my Dopp kit.
 
It'd be a Farmer or Pioneer.

I have a blue Farmer but lost my older Pioneer many years back.
 
The Tinker is my favorite. I got one as an anniversary present a couple years ago, but only started carrying it recently. Now I don't leave home without it. I also have a classic SD, a fieldmaster, and a camper.
 
Tough one to answer but if we're talking factory produced (not aftermarket modded) it'd probably be a Huntsman if I had to pick only one.
As you can see, I've got a few so it really would be a tough one to pick...Oh and I've got newer ones not in this photo!

If only one, it would be the Super Tinker. It is a little bulky, but still pocketable and love the scissors.
 
As much as I love my Alox Pioneer Rancher (Solder/Pioneer with pruning blade in place of canopener), the SAK of my choice would have to be the one I already carry every day, the Cybertool 29. The T8 and T10 bits adjust pretty much every pivot that folding knives on today's market have, plus an assortment of bigger and smaller screwdrivers, including ones to adjust eye/sun glasses.

That assumes I can also carry my Leatherman PS4 on my keychain as well, with pliers and scissors. Then I might have to upgrade my Cybertool 29 choice to the 34 or 49. But whatever the SAK, the bit driver and bits are the most useful tools I've ever carried apart from my regular knife and small scissors and pliers. I even took an entire Latin exam with the pen hidden in the handle because my dumb ass forgot to bring a real one.
 
I started out with a Tinker and carried it for maybe 10 years. I switched to a Alox Soldier. Then switched again to my current favorite, the Adventurer. It is a simple knife and I use every tool. I have quite a few SAKs, but the Adventurer is always in my pocket. I like the One handed Trekker, but never really have need for the saw and that makes the knife a bit thicker and less pocket friendly. Back to the Advernturer. The Advernturer has been my EDC for about 5-6 years now.
 
The Tinker was my first pocket knife; it was the boyscout model and it was given to my by my Dad for going from cub scouts to boy scouts. I carried that off and on for 10 or so years (I didn't want to lose it). Now I have been carrying the Climber for the last few years; it does a great job backing up my Delica 4.


_EDIT: I was so busy telling my SAK story I forgot the main topic of the thread.
I would be torn between both of my SAK's, both are great but the Tinker has sentimental value, but the climber has really nice scissors. In the end if I had to pick I would go with the Tinker.
