There are a number of Swiss Army Knives out there that have those tools and can be had for a very reasonable price. :climber:

WELCOME King. :cheers: :cheers:
Clown is exactly right.   :salute: Those are prety basic Victorinox standards in most of their line and they are VERY reasonably priced for a tool that can be passed from generation to generation with just basic maintainance.   :like: Now if you keep floating around here your going to find a lot of other features that are just MUST HAVES.   :ahhh :ahhh  So get ready, we'll be happy to show you all the pretty things you didn't know you needed. :whistle: :whistle:

And best of all, this place is LOADED with GREAT people.   :salute:  :hatsoff:

How long is the Bantam blade? It's got exactly those features and nothing more.

You will have to look at 108mm or bigger in a SAK if you want a 3 inch blade.

Depends on your definition of "cheap", King. Do you have a set price in mind?

And which tools did you consider too big?

Quick update : I pick up spartan for my every day carry but will not trash it . It will be a nice pocket to carry .

Now I need a cheap multi tool that I can trash it . Use it for open paint can . Something I don’t care if it break . It need to have a knife and a plier . Small enough to carry on my pocket . My current is “ true utility pocket multi tool . Something under $20

Have a look at this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Leatherman-Kick-Multi-Tool-NEW-IN-BOX-Includes-Nylon-Pouch-Warranty/273369940490
$20 plus shipping. Not exactly pocket carry, but really light weight.

With the array of pry bars that fit on keychains available I'd suggest going that route.  Many have multiple features so their not just pry tools.  I'd suggest the Pocket Wrench 2 or even the Gerber Shard.

But....he wants pliers......


And why not get something sturdy that you might not need to replace?

I'm thinking Leatherman REBAR.   :D

But he also wants a blade and the ones on the Rebar are thin and easily bent.

But warrantied for 25 years, yes?

I guess I haven't been impressed with many multitool blades. I don't recall the Rebar's blade as being particularly feeble (mine is not in arm's reach at the moment). Are there stronger knife blades in other multitools?  :think:

The Wave/Charge blades seem pretty good. But I have little doubt they might suffer with 'hard' use.

In terms of LM MT blades the ones on the Rebar are pretty terrible IMO.

+1.  They're short, awkward and flimsy - better than the Kick, not quite as good as the Fuse and a lot worse than a Wave - but they'll do the job just fine if you're careful.

I wouldn't go as far as "terrible", but I agree that they're thin, somewhat cheap feeling, not really confidence inducing compared for example older Pulse (PST, Kick/Fuse  etc.) type ones, and the ones on the Wave/Charge are even sturdier. And I love my Rebar and don't really like my Charge, but still, the blades are perhaps the least convincing tools on the Rebar.

Glad you found a solution, King. The True Utility Mini-multi is certainly affordable, and it sounds like it may meets your needs.  :tu:

Let us know how it works for you and holds up.  :tu:
