I agree.
Your review is exactly what I`m looking for.
Thanks much!
No problem, I hope it's everything you're looking for.  On a side note, another great thing about it is the price. I've seen them for less than $40 online. That's within most people's price range for a quality multi-pupose knife. Unlike, say, a Leatherman Wave or Charge; which is a great tool, but at $70+ it's more than a lot of people are willing to spend.

I myself have 5+ SAK... and actually stopped carrying them for my leatherman wave, ended up ordering the one handed trekker for the wife and if it's not what I think it is she`ll probably get one of the ones I already have.

I prefer my SAK with:
- 2 blades (1 locking, preferably) - scissors - tweezers
I don't use anything else in the woods. The new EVO knives are all nice, but they don't make one with the combination above. Thankfully I have an old Wenger Teton set up like this (they still make the model, but without the lock).

I've got the Victorinox Locksmith - virtually the same as the Trailmaster but it comes with a metal file as well as the wood saw. http://www.victorinox.ch/index.cfm?page=183&lang=EAll the locking blade Victorinox's make for good cost effective and reasonably reliable multitools.
