Do you mean knives made by MT manufacturers, or do you mean a multi tool that is based on a pocket knife rather than the plier format? If you mean the former, then I'd say the LM's are pretty good. I've got one that I take fishing with me and have done some other stuff with. If you mean the latter, SAK! All the way IMO. A lot of people here, me included, carry a plier based tool and a SAK all the time. Hope that kind of answers your question.
