I just checked out the ranger and possibly too big, so far the grand prix looks a winner although has scissors , i really want to collecting SAK's but want one that dedicted for use everyday,but not to bulky and a Phillips instead of a cork screw and no scissors would be great, until i got into SAK's i never realized they made so many .paul
Hold on! don't rule out this explorer with saw (Image removed from quote.)
I really like the Tinker Small and it's a great SAK but I had real trouble finding one for sale over here and ended up having to get one from the US. Another option might be to look at a Wenger Evo 11: http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=EVO+11I don't have one myself but it look like it might be a good answer for you.
For a smaller-than-a-Climber SAK without a corkscrew, with a file, Phillips capability, flat head, and a lack of scissors, I'd have to recommend a Cadet, frankly. As others have stated, the can opener's screwdriver can be used on Phillips screws, it has a nail file, the typical openers, and a nice blade. Plus, it's definitely shorter and thinner than your Climber, and also lacks scissors. Try one out.
The Cadet is a good thought, nice and slim if you want to put it on a keyring.

Beyond that, the Grand Prix is going to be the same size as your Climber, while the Tinker Small (excellent knife, in itself) lacks a file of any kind. From the list, only the Cadet has exactly what you want.
