Y'all convinced me. Carrying a dedicated folder rocks.

[Mr. Whippy]

Since carrying the folding Razels, I've come to the conclusion that a folder is a much nicer, cleaner cutting option over using the blades on a MT or SAK.  Not that the SAK/MT blades are inferior, it more that the weight and balance of a folder is designed to be optimal.

SAKs and MT's are always a little unbalanced and just don't have the same level of balance and smooth cutting.

So, in short, y'all were right.

What took ya so long.

Yup use the MT for nasty stuff and the ded.Folder for the ultra sharp blade when needed.

Congrats on your new found folder joy

A good folder plus a good MT are a dynamic duo. I don't leave home without them.

I went the other way, from a dedicated folder to a MT/SAK

your right the balance, efficiency, power is better with a dedicated blade
but I can deal with that in place of more tools in one.

but good on you

Welcome to the dark side. 

[Styerman]

The ERG's of multis are poor for bladework , SAK's are much better but not as good as a dedicated folder . Of the SAK's the Farmer and Soldier are about the most ergonomic .

The down side is that a dedicated folder can only do one thing .
