I've got the Picknicker. Although it locks up well, I don't find I use it all that much. It's useful when I'm camping or travelling, but the rest of the time I have no need for the tools (at home or work I'll use the right tool for the job, or else wait till I'm at one or the other). If you don't use the tools, the blade becomes a bit heavy for what it is.
 
The problem with Swiss Army Knives is that they can demonstrate that ....really.... they are all you NEED!
That thin flat grind cuts like fury. Easy to sharpen. Ridiculously cheap. More knife than you deserve for the money. And the OHT front serrations will convince anyone with an open mind that that is where the serrations BELONG. But, you never know it til you use it.

However, the absolute MOSTEST BESTEST SAK that I have found (and only recently) is the ...Wenger.... Handyman. It has the most useful tools even if it isn't a lockblade.
I often hate to switch my EDC ...from... the Vic Alpineer which has the single most useful single blade of any knife out there.
(slicing and cutting....not ninja'ing)

Lavan, how did you get the scales off? I've heard there are issues with presing them back on if you pry them off...
 
Buck268.... I figure the scales have about 7-10 removals. Maybe more. I've had scales off several times. Take care in removing. Insert a thin icepick or awl or thin screwdriver in the toothpick and tweezer opening and start lifting. Once they clear the liner, I like to take another SAK and slip the blade under the scale so you can pry gently all around rather than try to peel it off from one end or the other. Once they won't hang on again, it's time for some glue. But so far, I haven't had ANY that won't snap back on. The secret is to lift as level as possible so you don't peel off the holdy onnie things. They pretty much pop on and off if they haven't been "peeled."

Hope this helps.
