Not wanting to hijack a recent thread about why 'knife nuts' like Swiss Army Knives...
I don't have a SAK, but want to purchase one. I EDC a small fixed blade, it has a thickish spine and scandi grind. It isn't a great slicer, but it cuts well, is easy to maintain, and stands up to some heavy use without batting an eye lash. I've carried leathermen before, but have been underwhelmed by their utility. Also, I don't want a swiss army knife with a thousand tools. 3 layers or less. Lighter is better. I don't want to know its in my pocket.
Here are my questions:
Which SAK model do you think is best?
Why do you think it is the best one?
Which one do you carry?
What do you use a swiss army knife for that your EDC can't do?
Thank you for your input.

If anyone suggests one of these...
I will know you are trolling.
