My Wenger Traveler has a nail file and scissors. Use them on my nails or for any other task that comes up. No, I don't carry toiletries in my tool kit. I do carry SAKs in both my tool kit and my toiletry kit when I travel.

The reason for my dislike is ideological, not practical.
To me a SAK is a portable toolbox. And I wouldn't put toiletries or personal care items in my toolbox.
That said, I think I'm soon going to pull the trigger on a Mountaineer anyway.  :D

Great!!!  You'll love having a file in your toolbox!!!!   :cheers:

Im totally in disagreement, I just don't see why you need two blades rather then the nail file, the other thing is the corkscrew, I guess that is sooo much more in use then a Philips? I think the fieldmaster would spot on if the small blade was replaced with the file!

I'm a fan of the smaller nail file and cleaner as seen on the cadet and many 85mm Wenger models instead of the second blade. Beyond the obvious uses, I find having a thin but not sharp metal utensil useful for many uses - opening awkward battery cases is a regular one. The Explorer plus is one I'd like to see with it instead of the second blade.

True, it even has all the goodies my custom sak has plus serrated rather then normal scissors and a awl. But it's smaller and has those goofy scales.. Yet if you go up in size you still have those goofy scales but then some have those single hand blades, just still have yet to find the right combo of tools..

...but you can use SAK tools for other
functions(like someone just said above) so heck with the name, if it works  for something, use it!
