In the past I was proud Victorinox-customer, but having tried out a Waenger model (the other oficial manufactor, someone mentioned it but couldn`t remember the name, I recall), I converted. The big heavy ones with each and every tool make no sense, but the medium ones are just the thing to have. I could live without the pincer and the tootpicker, but having can opener, corkscrew and bottle cap opener at hand along with a small blade is really helpful. The saw is all right. A small scissor might be useful.

and lifelong guarantee means something, talking of bagknifes...

No Leatherman for me. It is much too big to have it around every day. My knife disappears somewhere in my trouser bag, secured against dropping it with a small chain. Black leather sheaths on the belt are something for posers. Besides, an original red swiss army knife enables you to construct nuclear bombs with some pieces of rubbish and an old yoghurt. Imagine McGyver with a leatherman... never!
