What I have is probably too much and too broad a range of tools to be the basis for this sort of discussion.

If you’re looking for advice about where to start with MTs, then here is my suggestion:

Unless you anticipate a fairly frequent need for large pliers or wire cutters, Victorinox Swiss Army Knives are a great place to start.  Specifically, the 91 mm line offers a lot of options.  Many of these are quite reasonably priced, and YMMV but I find any of them that have four layers or less are convenient for pocket carry.

I have a contrary opinion to nate's.  I enjoy carrying the larger SAKs.  Because they are wider, I find they will sit nicely in a pocket with that flat surface area against my leg.  Of course, that is not sitting in the bottom of my pocket like a brick, but suspended vertically about halfway down in the pocket by a dangler attached to my belt loop.  I really hate the feel of a knife pressing against my leg, horizontally, in the bottom of my pocket.  By using a dangler, the weight is suspended from my hips, and I barely feel the knife in my pocket.  Also, I frequently carry a pliers-based tool as well as a SAK. On days when I only carry one or the other, I'm more inclined to grab a pliers-based tool, most often a Spirit. :cheers:

I shall go forth and improve my life with a dangler! :cheers:

I figured we should welcome anyone.  :D I was thinking we could convert a heathen scammer into a proper tool addicted citizen using nothing but this forums good vibes and enabling justifications.

Really replied to the dangler :) But thanks! :)

Here are some of my danglers on a Swiss Champ, CT-41, Champion and Explorer. Some people don't like danglers and even remove the rings from their SAKs, but I like them.  When attached to a belt loop the knives hang about halfway down in my pocket so the weight is on my hips, or at my waistline, and not at the bottom of my pocket.  :cheers:

Two-three pants I got have a pocket inside the main pocket (almost like a long key pocket) which achives a bit of the same for some tools. But work and outdoors pants doesn't always fit the occasion - and achieving the same with all the pants without such pockets would be nice too. So I should try dangling.  :tu:

I am not a fan of such things, at least for my primary knife.

It introduces extra steps/complications into the process of using the knife.

I do that sometimes.

Other times, just a SAK or just a blade.

I pretty much always have my Rambler and Alox Bantam as backups, though.
