My first knife as a kid was a nice SAK given to me by my father, but I have no clue where it is now... Other than a few 'classics' scattered throughout the house and office I don't own any SAK's.

If you had to pick, say two or three models, what would they be? I always need an excuse to buy knives ;) I honestly don't have an answer for "what is intended use" - maybe more of a question on what you would consider to be the most popular models.
 
The Cadet. Most everything I need, except scissors, in a slim package.
 
1. Cadet - great for EDC, it's small and thin and has the most important tools
2. Farmer - larger, but still good for EDC and as it has a saw it's a great choice for the outdoors
3. SwissChamp - just because it has lots of tools :)
 
Vic Farmer and Wenger SI.

I haven't needed to add another SAK to the collection since getting these two.
 
The Victorinox Compact, scissors in a 2 layer SAK.

My personal favorite is the Midnight Manager
 
I find the essential SAK to me is the Vic Classic, one has been on my keychain since I was a kid, and its not going anywhere. Other than that, there are so many others, its such a personal choice. My favorites are the electrician and pioneer rancher
 
I have 2 that I EDC,the Outrider is the latest.

the next is the OHT Trekker.

They both have a saw and the usual suspects as to tools,can/bottle opener,toothpick,tweezers,bkades[larger],and the Outrider has a scissors and locking blade as does the OHT.
 
I really like the adventurer, large locking blade, screwdrivers, awl, and no corkscrew.
 
I'll throw in a vote for the classic in alox (great keychain knife) & either the tinker or super tinker depending on your available pocket space.
