While the Hercules seems to be way too fat for my liking; the extra driver (No. 2 Phillips?) and pliers are really good additions to the Outrider. Except the price tag. But then again, $89 isn't too bad for what you get. The Outrider I've became a big fan of. Decently compact, but perfect for EDC type jobs. I have the scissors and small screwdriver for around the house and EDC, and the belt cutter of the Fireman for farm work--I swap between the two as needed.
The thickness can be an issue. For being a work blade tool, I feel they go hand in hand. For getting a really good work tool it has to be solid. I think the 4 layers and under are nice pocket carries and the 5 and over layers for cargo pants and even better with sheaths on the belt.

The Hercules definitely has a nice tool set, but I think the thickness would have it left on the shelf more than carried.

And my 10,000 post!
It’s Wednesday so another Hoffritz. The Original Craftsman. A 6 layer 91mm with a handful of tool! This model is discontinued. It is the model of a couple of famous models - NASA’s space knives and the 20th and 30th Anniversary moon landing editions.

Another great carry, you have a nice collection of multiblade SAKs.

To make it official, I will add this screen shot

Congrats on 10K post  :woohoo:.   I do wonder about the name on this one.  I guess the fish tickler throws me off  :rofl:  Maybe a Craftsman goes fishing after work?  :dunno:

PS:  Also, thank you for your reply to my question. I however, will have two problems. The first is that all stores in my area that sell SAKs, do so via clamshell packaging and only a very limited selection.  And second, my wife would not understand why I would take one of my fellow co-workers shopping!!!

I referred to her as my adopted granddaughter, actually I have five. They are all coworkers, and life guards at the pool I manage. They began calling me PawPaw after observing my actual 6 year old grand daughter watching for me daily and our interactions while she was at camp, then other grandkids when they would use the pool and talk to me as well.

So, many of the life guards begin doing so as well.  Some real interesting young people, all are college age, Pursuing engineering, nursing, and other serving style degrees.

I will confirm with her the plans in Spain, yet suspect the Climber to be a good choice. 

Thanks again. Enjoying your challenge and daily SAK selection.

 :like:  My favorite knife for camping (and even EDC). I've got to get mine (from the mid '70s, I think) to Vic to be refurbished. It's got a lot of functional issues that it came with. Pliers are good, but add a bit too much thickness and weight to the knife.

I did. I was doing to fix a Master Craftsman which I'd broken the saw on, and was going to use the Craftsman's saw. I didn't know what I was doing, and made a mess. At least the tools themselves weren't damaged--so I can reuse them for modding; when I finally get the right tools and to the point I can pull and reattach pins without wrecking the liners or bushings.  Now, if I have an SAK with problems; it gets set aside and when I get a few together (since I always use UPS to ship, which is pricey) I send them off to Vic.

Yet the regular Craftsman--it's a bit rough, but I never messed with it. In fact, when I first took it camping, it was over a year after I made the restoration mistake.

The Rescue Tool. A very unique SAK. It is the only knife that has replaceable disc saw and window breaker. These parts can be replaced by the owner themselves. There are I believe 5 different models of the Rescue Tools, two of which are specially made for other government agencies. A regular non one hand opener. And the black scale makes for 5.
