Why a multitool is the best knife for the warfighter

[sabre cat]

I know. That was a not so subtle jab at the plethora of posts asking about the best knife to take into combat when the fact of the matter is that a knife is not all that useful in combat compared to a good multi-tool.

Most of that plethora expect a fixed blade to be the best but, in reality, most soldiers end up using a folder more often than a fixed blade.

As for the knife vs multi-tool debate, I'll take both. Give me a SAK and a multi-tool.
