The Soldier and Waiter are great minimalist SAKs, as mentioned.I would also recommend:Compact CadetCadet IIExecutive
My absolute best-bang-for-the-buck space-efficient SAK is an oddball one I got off eBay: an Executive with *smooth* alox scales. About as thin as a cellidor Classic, but with large and small knife blades, scissors, nail file, "orange peeler" (short serrated blade and small flat screwdriver, plus a sharp notch cutter that's great for cutting taped packages). I forget what Vic called that model, but they didn't make that many, especially in the smooth scales. Prolly a collector's item, but it's just too damn handy to NOT carry.

It would be an Executive if it is smooth alox. Look at the "Alcoa" knife on the left of that bottom picture. Aren't the Directors all stainless?
