I can't imagine cutting up a couple of dozen bandages and slings with the tiny scissors on a multitool--not if I had a knife blade available anyway. And for cutting away clothing the sheepsfoot-type blade on the multitool would be far superior to scissors as well. I agree that for a subway incident the multitool would most likely be a little more useful than a larger folder, but as they say: "that's why I carry both." <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I looked at the CS4 and liked it, but I decided that for my purposes (rural, suburban, and wilderness rather than urban), the KF4 would be better for me. It really came down to the scissors vs. the awl. You really can't go wrong with either one.
