Last week I finally bought my first decent fixed blade, a Buck 119 Special that I am extremely happy with, although so far I've done naught with it but cut leather (which, by the way, right out of the box it was slicing through like it was paper.)
But anyways, since I already own a decent hatchet for my big chopping needs, I firgure that my next step towards a full kit of gear should be a SAK. Which got me thinking: should it be a SAK or a Leatherman-like-tool? Or, do both fall into the same category?
Further, which features should I be most looking for in a tool of this sort for general wilderness survival? i.e. beyond the basic saw blade and knife blade, what's the most important stuff I need on there?
Thanks.
