[QUOTE=Wakka V2;17893548]In my opinion. Swiss army knives are shit and aren't usefull at all. Invest in a good survival knife and you won't be disappointed, it'll do all the things a "utility" knife will do, and better. You just can't cut through a tree with one of those tiny blades.

you just wont have pliers, screwdrivers, a saw, bottle opener, scissors, etc. all you will have is a highly functional cutting tool. which isn't what the OP is looking for imo.
You can't carry a 7'' tactical knife everywhere you go. Oh and Swiss knives got wood saws.

Pliers are the only tool that a knife cannot do. I've unscrewed screws with my knife, opened bottles, cut paper ect., cut wood.
Genuine survival knives > swiss army knife.
Imagine the looks you would get if you pulled out a survival knife to cut an apple at work

As renowned as Victorinox is, i would rather use a Gerber or Leatherman anyday.
I've got a SOG toolclip.
It works well enough; the blade is a real letdown, but the other tools work pretty great.

wouldn't work as a saw, and would be more difficult than a tool designed for that purpose.

Gerber clutch, Minichamp if you want it as a keychain.
Otherwise get a leatherman, pliers are just so fucking handy.

Most survival knives have a saw at the back

Wenger belongs to victorinox.
The new swiss soldier knife is a good one, lacking a wine bottle opener though: [url]http://www.victorinox.ch/index.cfm?page=607&lang=E[/url]

How often have you needed a wine bottle opener away from home / place where there isn't one.
I did once and I just used a screw and pliers...
[QUOTE=elitehakor;17890412]No tool gun? D:<[/QUOTE]
I think that picture was made back then when there was toolbow instead of toolgun.
I have a swiss-champ, had the most tools in the Victorinox range at the time. So far it has suited every job I've needed it for.
If you're after something a bit more rugged with a lockable blade, go for a Work-champ, or a Leatherman. I've used a leatherman skeletool before and I'd recommend it.
I have some odd metal/wood knife that has a surprisingly large ammount of tools.

I think I'll go with the SwissChamp. I did some research, it's only $80 dollars and has a large amount of tools, and will fit in my pocket.
I bought a cheap nameless army knife off a 10kr store about 2 years, sharpened it once and I still use it.
