What is your favorite SAK?

One thing Ive noticed about multi-tools in general, at least through my experience is that for the most part they are problem free. There's really nothing fancy about them, and they just work. I never heard of anyone really complaining about an SAK and they're dirt cheap.
 
I have two that I have settled on.

An alox Cadet. There is generally one in my jacket or coat pocket.

and an alox Companion. They disappear into a front pants pocket.
 
Wow, this thread has legs! My favorites are the Rally for my keys, the Waiter as a small slip in the pocket and forget about it backup, and the Alox Pioneer. The last few days I've been carrying all three and I have to say that they are all awesome. You really can't go wrong with a SAK they are just too classic and useful a tool not to have a few lying around the house and car. For the price, you can't beat the quality!
 
I've always had a Classic on my keyring, and would feel naked without it. I actually get more use out of the tweezers on it than anything else, as I usually have another knife in the pocket. My other one is an alox Cadet, which as others have said, a great knife. You almost can't go wrong with any, as they're great values for what you get.
 
I like the Pioneer or Cadet for EDC carry.

But the bigger 91mm (Swisschamp, Craftsman etc etc) are great carry tools for belt.

Hard to tell which one I like the best, there are so many I have around the house etc so I find a good use for each of them on occasion. I´d call myself even a "Die-Hard" fan of the good ol' SAK.
 
Easily the Farmer. The saw is actually pretty useful and hardly increases size over the Pioneer.... which has some great tools.

 
Spartan-a favorite for 30 years. I've "lost" them and quickly bought a replacement, only to find the stray. Now I have several, all in various states of wear.
 
Red 93mm ALOX! :D

Well, my favorite is probably my stag handled Swisschamp. However, the one I find myself carrying the most is a mini champ. I love to carry a full-sized traditional slip joint for general knife purposes, but find myself needing a toothpick all the time, and I happen to love the thin and flimsy one found in a SAK. The mini champ is super tiny yet has just about every took I will need at any given time. I use the small combo Phillips screwdriver/bottle opener regularly, and the pen comes in handy. This all fits in a package about half the size of a mini Snickers bar.
 
Yeoman. Before that, it was the Super Tinker. The biggest difference for me was the orientation of the Phillips screwdriver. It was a bit more awkward to use on the Super Tinker.
