I second the KF4 idea! Very small, very capable.
Hi all,I am looking to buy a multitool for use as a police officer.
Once again, I'm disappointed...No one has posted the MT.O motto. "When in doubt, buy both!"
But if you can only have one I go for the Wave. The wave have one handed opening blades and in time you can also open the pliers one handed balisong style.
I carry the SURGE on my duty belt.. I like it because of the robust design and the large knife blades!

You're a police officer not a maintenance man or truck driver, get the right tool for the right job, bigger MT's are better suited for your line of work, believe me I know from first hand experience.The Ultimate Fighting Multi-Tool - A Multi-Tool and a MagLite. Good combination to have in your hands if something should happen.
