Personally, I'd go for the Wenger Ranger 78. I find the main locking blade and the saw are the most used outdoors and I prefer to have a Phillips screwdriver over the corkscrew.



I have the "old" Ranger version of this knife and am seriously considering upgrading to the "new" Ranger for the one handed opening main blade.

Also, for a good visual comparison of the Wenger Ranger 78 and the Victornox OHT check out he following post on MultiTool.org: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,12362.0.html

That is darn near identical to the trekker but about 3x the cost!

NEVERMIND!

That was on their site, on amazon it's not even 2x the cost.

EDIT: That is the wrong model, but I've found the one you are talking about for $42.

This may be important to some too:

"OHT does include toothpick and tweezers that ranger lacks, however when transformed into soldier they are deleted."

Denis - I think you may have made me to drop my leatherman for the Wenger Ranger 78 when in the woods. I rarely carried the leatherman in the woods anyway but the ranger 78 sure looks like it would fit my needs for a "pocket knife". And be a PERFECT companion for my fixed blade Rat Cutlery knife.

SO I guess, I will be dropping my sog flash II and (occasionally) the leathermen when in the woods for the ranger 78, that knife has real appeal!

Okay, I have to ask . . .

What the &%*) are you all using those tiny little SAK saws for? I've never found a use for them. Are you making notches? I suppose that may be a possibility, but for what?

Any stick that little saw can cut, I can break more easily with my hands. So what gives?

I have the forester and the old one hand trekker.

My problem with the larger SAK's is the main blade. I just don't find them particularly sharp. And when sharpened they don't seem to hold much of an edge.

I second jaywalke's comment about the saw on the SAK's. not very useful.

I've used them a ton... I guess its more about precision work than cutting down a forest of finger thick branches But if you had to cut down a branch or log the size of your arm or leg you COULD it would just take a while
