The scissors are a good idea. I've used scissors on knives and I like them alot. They work really well on some of the one's I've used. They're a little small but I doubt they could make them much bigger. As for the other stuff, you're right about being personal choice. Alot of people, alot of features.

The Victorinox knives, I'm not too familiar with. I guess everyone has their preffered tools, but I've noticed that so far everyone seems to have something they would change. Could you maybe get together and talk to the manufacturers about adding some things and removing others till you get a knife that more or less has all the features you want without all the extra junk that you don't use?

Just a thought, maybe you could even name it the ETS multi-tool. That may not even be a good idea but it's something to think about I guess.
