Swiss Army knives! Whadda you got?!

[4WDarren]

Had the big one for many years and love it. Always goes on my belt if I'm headed out in the bush for whatever reason. The little saw on it is surprisingly capable....has made short work of some decent sized branches many times.

Small one is great for the keychain....very handy.

I have the same one but never use it. I seem to use my pocket knife more. The swiss army one..."the champ"[ I think it's called is too big.

I carry a leatherman always. Not just in the bush.

I've had many different "leatherman" type multitools over the year. The best one I've found is the SOG PowerLock. Changeable parts, stainless, geared pliers for more force. Mine even has a Robertson bit and 1/4 drive socket bit and all bits lock in place so they won't fold back into your fingers. Hardly a day goes by without it being used for something.

I have a wave but it's too heavy with a cell in my pocket. I carry the smaller fuse...

[zedjay95]

i got the kick as well but i like not having to open the pliers to get at the knife

I carry a SOG PowerLock as a daily tool - very, very nicely built. It takes a miraculous amount of abuse and keeps on going. I also carry a basic small Swiss, folding lock blade, rescue hook (compliments of a buddy), 2 Kershaw knives, 3 watt LED flashlight, and my keys... Yea, if I ever fall in a lake I'm just going to sink!! I guess steel toed work boots wouldn't help either. LR

I carry a Leatherman's tool and a 13" solid hunting knife. I also have a nice machete when I am way back in the woods and want something a little larger on my belt.

I have one of these on the keychain at all times, but it is green and has a Canadian flag on it:

I also carry my trusty old "Warn" Leatherman when in the bush.

[gnelson]

I have a Letherman Surge. It's pretty heavy duty. I use it all the time at work or when i'm in the bush but it's too big to always cary around

Love my Leatheman Charge TTi. Used to use SWiss Army Knives alot, now I use the Leatherman. Its a must have for the backpacking, hiking, canoeing, fishing and super useful for repairs.

i always have a Leatherman Wave on me. the fellow down at Valley Combat And Tactical in Abbotsford tried to sell me on one of those SOG ones. i wasn't really interested in it because i'm not a fan of the feel or styling. he says, "it'll outperform any Leatherman. It'll cut right through a penny no problem." he pulls out a penny, and cuts through it, albeit with plenty of hard squeezing and shifting of the pliers and penny. i pulled out my Leatherman and effortlessly snipped through the penny, then a quarter. "you were saying?" was my reply. lol.

aside from the leatherman, i always have a CRKT M16 or Buck-Strider SBMF folding knife on me. much stronger blades, larger and the hold an edge better than any Swiss army knife.

Just to prove i have nothing against Swiss army knives, i have a basic one in the glove box of my truck. it has the flat head screwdriver, bottle/can opener, large and small blades. it's done the trick many a time when i've either forgotton or haven't been able to use one of my larger blades.

Leatherman Wave has already been posted so here's a pic of my other two daily carry knives.

The last time I can honestly say that I "used" my swiss army knife, I wound up with 5 stitches. I was cutting away at some putty on a camper and it folded over on my knuckle. Since then the only knives I use are either locking blades or fixed blade. I have a leatherman wich I carry with me almost everywhere. I have a small collection of knives but wile on my honeymoon we were in Barkerville and I found this knife and had to have it. It's apparently hand made in Finland.

[Kinslayer]

I carry a boot knife and a swiss.. I also have a small locking pocket knife, a 3 incher..

However, this is the knife i'd like to have..:

Don't think "they" would let me carry that day to day though..

..Or this one:

They DEFINITELY wouldn't let me carry that around, heh heh.

My Leatherman Wave is on my belt almost as often as is my Springfield XD-45.

A tool for any occasion. ;)
