Another semantics question

[BIG-TARGET]

I just ordered an LM K502x from Felinevet Tim.
With the extra tools in it, would this be considered a knife or a Multitool

I'd be inclined to call that one a knife, yes it has other tools on in but there VERY secondary to the blade, if you see what I mean

I would say a multi function knife!

Another knife vote for me.

Thank you gentlemen. I needed to make sure

I would have to buck the system and say tool. Didnt we decide about a year ago the Sak was a tool?

Well I'd say a SAK is a knife.  Otherwise it would be called a SAT.

True but it does have tools on it and there are miltiple tools on it sooooooooooo


Multi tool!!!

I'm thinking we should all crack open a beer and discuss this very important topic some more.


(Does anyone else find beer to be helpful in these sort of discussions?)

I nearly always find beer to be helpful.

The Soldier (Soldat) model is the only true "Swiss Army Knife".  I'm not sure how you can call a SwissChamp or Cybertool 41 a "knife", and not call it a multitool.  The knife blades are only a very small part of the tool itself.

I started a poll here http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,4795.0.html  to see what everyone else thinks on the SAK being a knife or tool debate.

I say we call it a multi-knool.
