It all boils down to what you do on a daily basis. I just left DC and I used my Swisstool RS all the time, mostly the scissors and regular blade as well as the bottle opener. I did wish that I had a file on a rare occasion, but the feeling quickly faded. Either one you buy will be a good piece of gear. You will use it alot, if you are like me.

I know I am not much help but it really depends on what you want to do with it. If you are set on the file than get it, because I rarely use the sheepsfoot blade, although I have used it in the past to cut rope, straps, etc.

Hope this helps,

Garrett
