Nothing is perfect, friend Giovanni. If you go simple, then something might be lacking. If you go big, then it is too big to carry comfortably. Sometimes you think a serrated blade would be better, sometimes the opposite.
Looks like you have some good usable pocket tools. I particularly like the big Wenger, I think. I only have a few Leathermans, and mostly just play with them. If I need a pair of pliers I just get pliers out of my toolbox.
Would something else be perfect? You get to decide. Best wishes. Gary

Nice Wenger. Somebody didn't have a clue on sharpening. The condition isn't perfect, but so what? It looks like the front side scale is slotted for Victorinox type tweezers, or is that just a chip? Probably not a lot of Wenger replacement scales out there. Wenger used to advertise that they were unbreakable. Mmmmm? No.
Best wishes. G

I had an epiphany while eatIng breakfast. Bladeless 91mm models might mean no corkscrew or back layer Phillips, which would in turn mean a new liner and scale for that side. And the awl could likely be considered a blade. So that may be a way to get 91mm models with no back tools. If so, I'd only need to figure out how to get a spring for the blades and mod them in.

That's pretty much the 93mm line (except for the "bladeless" part).

These are the two I own and you can tell the Swiss being quite a huge tool for an everyday carry, on the other hand the Skeletool is pretty but no combo blade and the other one I got, which I gave to one of my son's friend, had the coating fading which is not pretty to see and not indicator of good quality but it's a minor flaw I can live with.

Got my son the Crater one a while ago and it is a pretty little knife, bottle opener, don't remember if a combo blade, and a simple screwdriver which in my case comes handy when I need to open a can of varnish to say one, a pretty took you can always have with you when hiking without to add further weight to the bag, anything similar to that since LEatherman dismissed it?
