Does anyone really use multifunction knives? aka swiss army

[BloodEclipse]

I carried a Swiss Army knife for 12 years. It now rides in the fender bag on my KDX. The leather tool is perfect for boring holes in plastic so I can zip tie parts back together while riding in the woods.

I used my leatherman wave's pliers to take the nipples out for cleaning from my cap and ball revolvers today. The nipple wrench would fit down in the little pocket they are recessed in to.

I keep a leatherman in my car and tackle box always comes in handy.

Love the multi-tool. I have several dozen from all of the brands.

They are like sand and have found there way into all of the kits.

The swiss army knife. It just isn't tough enough to survive me. Had several, all broken.

I always have an Victorinox Explorer in my pocket, to compliment my Benchmade Autostryker that is clipped on my pocket. I also have a lockblade Victorinox that rides in my small rangebag. I haven't been wihout one for years, other than on a civilian airliner.

I carry a SOG Power-plier on me and have a multi-tool in every vehicle!

Leatherman Wave or SOG at all times.

My brother carried a SAK for years. Still does. He is always pulling it out to tinker with a computer or radio.

I think I still have a replacement parts kit around somewhere for the SAK's Use to sell them at the gun shows.

The Explorer and Explorer Plus are my favorite SAKs.

Many years ago I had to leave my ship in Diego Garcia to fly back to San Diego for school. I packed up and sent my Buck 110 home but forgot my Tinker. When I got to Japan on my way home there was a sign saying weapons prohibited. The customs guy asked about knives and I showed him what I had found in my bag. He said "Oh that's not a knife...it's a Swiss!" I carried it the rest of the way home.

multiuse

I carry a victorinox or swiss army knife a few days out of the week and somtimes never use it other than to open cans or minor cutting. I do however almost always carry my SOG powerlock and use it alot. I used it today to strip wire and work on my bicycle. They are good to have around for general utility but not very useful as a defensive tool.

Used my Leatherman Wave today to open some of those pesky plastic packages.

I carry a Leatherman Juice XE6 in a belt pouch and a little Leatherman Squirt S4 in my pocket. Use one or the other at least once a day. I really like the little Squirt. -- Greg

I am really a big fan of leatherman multi-tools not so much of a swiss army knife fan.

My favorite... Gerber Blunt-nose multi-plier:
