Here's one of my favourite four-layers that I only really discovered recently. The Angler has two of my favourite SAK tools: the scaler and the pliers. I want to put plus scales on it but keep the front scale with the weird-looking fish thing on it so maybe I'll just swap the back scale because that's really the plus one .

Edged Tools / Re: Case Knives

Picture is 75 CV, 75 SS & 47 SS. For size reference.

A 44 medium may be the next size down in CV  or CS builds.

I think the 44 is quite a bit smaller at only 3 1/4” closed.   I believe the next size down from the 47 (3 7/8” closed) would be the 18 or the 032 (both 3 5/8” closed).  Finding them in CV/CS could be the rub though.

Not sure I have a 032, but here is a 75, 47, and 18…

Bought some living lettuce. The container would not pop open, so, out came Explorer.  Cut into the container and the salad came free.

Just remember to eat with the tool before you search for ticks, not just after. 

Haha, I will try to remember that! Oh, and Tuisto is the Germanic counterpart of Hephaistos/Hephaestus (albeit mediated through Roman sources)!
