How does the old saying go, "the best knife for survival is the one you have with you"? I do not see myself using this for every day carry. I have carried some sort of knife for the past 40 years, Boy Scout knife, Swiss Army Huntsman or Compact, and now as a contractor in Afghanistan the Leatherman Skeletool (basic all stainless) it is the most practical knife/multitool I have ever owned. When traveling in country I also carry a Benchmade AFO II attached to my IBA (individual body armor). I used an SOG for a while when I first got to Iraq but it was too big, too heavy, and too hard to open and finally sent home. Most multitools lack sufficient strength to do anything heavy and once you bugger a blade you’re screwed, for the heavy stuff you need the correct tool from your bag.
Cheers,
