Hi,
I have a tool that is an improvement on the standard-issue German army knife. It sports additional pliers with quite a rare, yet brilliant design. This allows pliers not much inferior to those of a multitool to be embedded in a tool of SAK form factor.

I was wondering whether or not there are any quality products from better known companies that utilize such plier design? The actual quality of these very pliers leaves much to be desired, the manufacturing is quite rough and imprecise.

EDIT: Discovered some Wenger models. They are a bit on the bulky side, though, and I don't really enjoy this shape.

That is an interesting design. I'm not sure if the Buck X-Tract Multi-Tool is exactly the same in terms of how the pliers swing out, but it sure looks similar...

These GAK's could be Spanish made, Aitors.
In which case you could find favour with the Aitor Alligator Confident

I've seen a GAK with pliers made by Mil-Tec, which isn't Aitor. So it would seem that a number of manufacturers made these, just like the GAK.
