Thanks! I didn't realize how small they are. Bear in mind I've never even held a SAK before. My first impression without any field tests? These would be great compliments to full sized  MT. Thought I will say their gadget rating is 100%. You can just sit & play with em.
 I'd rank them as  the #1 choiice for someone looking for a penknife +. But not a serious MT contender. The only thing I see as a con? Lack of one hand accessibilty. If you keep your nails short, it's difficult to open the tools.

Yep.  Be careful Dale... Finding the SAKs with the perfect tool sets to compliment your other MTs can become a whole new hobby...   ;)  It can even get to the point of constructing customs SAKs for that exact purpose.  :facepalm:  The Swisschamp will allow you to "sample" many of the available tools and decide which ones work for you.

I'm not sure if you know, but you shouldn't leave the tools open like that for display. You can weaken the backsprings. A few days probably won't cause issues, but over months it can.

I had to revamp my curio to include my MT's & SAK's. Picture isn't the greatest... A lit up curio with mirrors is beyond my skill level as a photographer.

+1 to this.  It can become something you frequently analyze (or at least that's the case for me ;))

Back to the SAK's... Been looking at the Cybertool



But being that I just purchased the Champ.. Can't seem to justify the money for one different tool. Unless I'm missing something.

Depends...the Cybertools come into their own with those who work on on computers and such like. I ended up modding my CT34 to a three layer urban carry job.

From what you've said about yourself so far,stick with the SwissChamp

The Swisschamp and the CT41 are the same size. But you will lose the fish scaler and mag/phillips layer. But will gain the bit driver. Its great for all kinds of stuff. Not just for 'puters.
Here's a pic of a Ct34.

The biggest shortfall of the SAK's IMO. They completely lack of single hand access. Not to mention if your nails are short or you bite them. It's very difficult to open.

I agree, but someday I'll make OHO blades to use with liner locks.  :D

Once I made a single layer alox electrician solo with a thumbstud.
