Pick my next SAK

Climber model is with me nearly every day. Perfect pocket companion.

Have fun getting that collection going; SAKs are addictive!
 
I'd go with a Super Tinker. They're much smaller than the Trekkers and are better for day-to-day indoor pocket carry, and add the ever-useful scissors in exchange for the saw. This is about the biggest SAK I can comfortably just drop in a pants pocket.

Classics are great because they're cheap and plentiful. But the better model is the Rambler. The blade opens away from the key ring, and it adds the super-useful mini-combo-tool that has a phillips driver, bottle opener, and wire stripper. It is only a smidge thicker.

If you'd rather have a ballpoint pen handy instead of the toothpick, the Manager is the same as the Rambler, except for that difference.

...and if you'd rather have a small LED flood light and pen insted of the toothpick and tweezers, get the Midnight Manager.

Two other models that I really like, but require belt carry are the Wenger S557 and the Victorinox CyberTool 34. Great tool selection for the size and weight.
 
I'll look at the Super Tinker.

I really like the Trekker, but its too big for me to toss in my pocket for normal day to day use.
 
Well, i have now been a proud SAK owner for about 3 weeks and i have to admit they are very addicting.

So far out of what i have my prefered hiking companion is the Trekker. It accents my ESEE 3 very well. I like the Tinker for EDC pocket carry and i also picked up 4 used classics for keychains which works great.

I have an Army Compact, Alox Farmer, and Alox Cadet on the way.

I think my next purchase will be something bigger like the Swisschamp.
