People familiar with the "normal" nylon-handled SAK might be interested to know that these knives are at least twice as strong (blade, handle, tools, etc.). The spring is a lot stronger too, so it holds the tools in place quite well (even though it doesn't lock). The flat screwdriver is an excellent pry bar, and the awl makes drill-perfect holes. Being so heavy duty, they can tackle a lot of real-life work.

I used to carry one all the time (without the saw). However, nowadays I carry a Leatherman and a thin, sharp locking folder. I prefer a single locking blade for "crud" work.

On the plus side, though, a Swiss Army knife is not generally perceived as a weapon. That could make it acceptable carry in a wider range of situations.
