Hey Guys, this is my first forum so forgive me if i do anything wrong.

I'm saving up for a pocket knife / Multi-tool type thing and i'm not sure whether to get the:


Leatherman Juice CS4: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAEM/D9K9CGmzNDE/s689/juice-cs4-fanned.jpg

Or The:

Victorinox Camouflage Officer: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-...AADY/PNPFoM2h7q4/s887/2013-01-13+12.27.46.jpg

Or The:

Leatherman Juice S2: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AAAAAAAE0/uUWzOkuUL7s/w497-h373/LTJUICES2.jpg

Help on choosing which onw would be appreciated. :D

What do u mean corkscrew?
The Victorinox doesnt have a corkscrew if u tell me how to put pictures from my files onto here that would be great
 
The "Camouflage Officer" is actually a misidentified Spartan model with camo scales (handles), and it does have a corkscrew. That color scheme looks cool to some folks, but if you drop the knife in an outdoor environment, good luck on finding it. There's a practical reason Vics usually come in the color red. A regular Spartan can be had for @ $20 or less in the US.
 
For me the Juice S2 has everything I need and nothing I dont.

As someone who enjoys wine, I like the CS4. However, I also like the Vic Climber (basically a Spartan + Scissors).
 
I don't care for the scissors on the s2 (I always have a vic classic on the keys I like the scissors on it much more) and I wanted a corkscrew, so the s2 got gifted and I bought a c2.

so which one out of the 3 is the best

Victorinox "Camouflage Officers" (actually Spartan) would be a good candidate if not for the stupid camo. It's a good, solid product, but I would reject it for that reason alone. I don't support style over substance.

I've owned both the CS4 and S2, liked both, but found the CS4 saw a bit too small to be effective on much. Except just to play with it, I seldom used the corkscrew. The "assist" they provided for it is just plain awful, slips and can chip the bottle lip. With the right technique, it will pull your corks, but I can't remember the last time I was anywhere that wine was present when there wasn't a corkscrew on hand. The awl as provided is too dull but easily sharpened and very useful. I wish it carried over to the S2, but even without, I find it the better Juice; thinner, lighter and has most of what you need for casual multi-tool carry.
 
My Juice S2 is my EDC along with whatever knife I am carrying.

It seems to me to be the perfect combination of pocketability, tools, size...
 
I edc a Juice S2 and love it. As with others, I have no need for a corkscrew so will not buy an SAK or LM that has one, but won't carry a multi that does not have scissors as they are just too damn useful. I do carry a Vic Super Tinker as well/instead sometimes but the S2 does everything I need.
