In order to avoid the constant threads of which one versus which one,I would like to try one thread of which one one plus which one. So which tool plus which SAK do you carry? I usually carry a Swiss tool Spirit plus an Explorer. This way I have what I consider to be all the good tools and none of the useless ones(at least to me). Also you get redundancy on blades.
 
I edc a Victorinox Swisstool,if I want to travel light I carry a Spartan,or a Nomad.
 
Vic Spirit paired with a dedicated knife of some sort (folder, small fixed, traditional slipjoint).


A multitool and a SAK simultaneously seems redundant to me.
 
Other than a knife blade and a flat tip screwdriver, the Farmer and Skeletool don't share any tools. :thumbup:
I don't carry a SAK if I'm carrying an XTi or such with a saw and can opener.
 
SAK Farmer and a pair of real pliers. Multitool pliers are usually too weak and flimsy for my uses. Aside from that, a good pair of pliers is a multitool in itself.
 
Stay away from the Gerber Diesel, what a useless tool... I've snapped the tip off of two different functions (screwdriver and knife) and the extending pliars action is an absolute pain in the butt, especially if your tool is sandy, muddy, dirty... it gets locked up and only CLP or Hoppes will loosen it up enough to get back open. Right now my preferred multitool is the original Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool, which has held up extremely well, and the brushed finish looks great even after receiving dings and dents from trail abuse. The SAK I carry is the Spartan/Climber-I have both and they're pretty much the exact same tool. Ideal combo? Probably not, but I got the Leatherman with 18 other multitools that I paid 20 bucks for on ebay, and got the SAK Spartan for 1.99 shipped on ebay as well.

recently retired the big Leatherman Charge in favour of a Leatherman Skeletool.
Wenger Ranger 61 resides in my laptop bag.
 
Hmmm to be honest I really like

1. The trekker series SAK. Thin full flat grind, and is A LOT better general purpose woods tool than a MT.
2. To be honest I like a 5 dollar Irwin 6 inch visegrip...


I do like MT's also :) But I find that combo pretty handy for the woods...
