Well magnify for one :D

Be used in any enviroment without upseting people :tu:

I carry a Champion plus and Spirit often. The main reason I have both
on me is sometimes I need the stronger pliers of the Spirit, but because
of both their sizes (not too giant), it's not a big deal.

For city stuff, I usually like to carry the Spirit, for outside the city, more the SAK.
and when I'm working, both.

I like SAKs and carry them on a pretty regular basis but I still can't get past also carrying my trusty handy dandy MT :multi: :D So I don't guess I can be much help there :(

SAK's in general are easier to pocket carry if you are like me and don't like to use a sheath.
I'm back!!

Most multis dont sport cork screws , or a pen blade. Ergonomics and handling are better with a SAK. Sheeple factor is about equal. For small jobs a SAK is quicker and simpler to deploy. A multi is overkill for opening a bag of pet food or a clam pack. If you dont need pliers , the SAK rules!

We are forgetting the obvious one... toothpick.

SOG's CrossCut has a toothpick, but it only helps if you are missing every second tooth- it's HUGE!

Gotta admit , I never use the toothpick for it's intended pourpose. Mostly just use it for getting the pocket crud out of the innards of the SAK.
