A fatter carry? Yes. But with some real advantages, let's spell that Phatter!
Thicc knives save lives.
I think the argument for the super tinker is that the can opener is a very effective philips driver, therefore making the inline philips slightly redundant. For tightening, breaking, and recessed screws, you can start/finish with the back philips driver.
For EDC 4-layers breaks the thickness aspect ratio (it’s thicker than its width), so will always be more noticeable in the pocket. If I had to live 24/7 with one of these, it would be the Super Tinker. Sure, it has less features and some compromises, but #1 priority for EDC is pocket-ability. It still has enough of what you really need...
Completely agree For standard (urban) work day EDC my limit is 3 layers 99% of the time. The 3 layer width and weight is as far as i will go.I have the Explorer, and i like it. It's a very good SAK, i EDC'd it when i bought it for a couple of months, and got fed up with the bulk and weight. Having the inline phillips and mag glass dosen't compensate at all. Either the can opener or my moded bits are more than good enough for "incidental screwdriving", which is what i would use a sak for.
