I love the farmer, but hate carrying a SAK that doesn't have 2 blades. So, I had this little number made for me. Watcha think?

It looks great! How does it feel in the hand? I have a Farmer with scissors arriving soon, and am wondering if the extra thickness is welcome for gripping.

I really like it. I suppose contrary to most, I like a knife with heft and some width to it. I don't have large hands by any means, I just like something to grip onto when I'm cutting.
 
Nice. If it fits your needs; that's all that counts.

I personally would have opted for a large, and small blade or plain, and serrated.

The only thing I hate about my stock Farmer is the weird angle the blade is at. It comes from the side of the handle at the base and angles toward the middle of the handle at the tip. It just looks weird, like it's bent.
 
Nice - it's like a Victorinox version of a stockman pattern, with some extra SAK stuff.

Like Scott above, I'm about to pull the trigger on a Farmer with scissors in place of the saw. How thick do you all think that is likely to be compared to, say, a Huntsman? I want something slim for edc in dress pants.
 
It looks like scibeer's doing. You can contact him over on knifeforums. He does awesome work.

There has to be that bend in the blade, KTMGUY. Otherwise, if it were perfectly straight, it would hit one of the other tools and not close. Look at the knife from above when closed and you'll see what I mean.
