I find that over time, say the last year, I've been carrying a SAK less and less. With the Leatherman squirt on my key ring carabiner, or the Victorinox quatro and P-38 in my wallet, that eliminates the whole opener/screw driver layer of the SAK. Even without the squirt, I still have flat and Phillips drivers, and can opener in my wallet. So a dedicated knife is more important to me, as 8 out of 10 times in reach for something, its a cutting tool. Opening mail, Amazon packages, plastic blister packages, cutting jute twine for the garden, opening whatever.

We spent the month of June in California and I had my squirt and small SAK. I missed the ever lovin dog poo outa my Christy. Since getting back its been in my pocket non stop. It seems like use it several times a day to cut/open something.

At this point in my life, if I have my old Sear's 4-way keychain screw driver or the Victorinox quatro, and my old P-38, all I then need is a dedicated cutter.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

2 great knives William! :like: :tu: :tu:
Thanks. I will admit however that the Christy has taken over most of the tasks. I travel with the Exec because of the wonderful scissors..

Thats why I love my duo of Leatherman squirt and Christy. I've got used to having the small pliers on hand, and they are sooooo handy for old fart arthritic fumble fingers, that I can't stand to be without them. I'll sacrifice the small SAK to have the squirt. SACrilege, I  know, but there it is. I think I've evolved to the duo of squirt and Christy for small footprint and wide mission capability.
