Looking to buy a multi-tool / Swiss Army knife.

[Rampage]

I'm thinking of buying a multi-tool (Gerber / Leatherman / Heckler & Koch etc) or a Swiss Army style knife.
I'm insure what to get, I want a knife, saw and maybe scissors.
I don't know if I will use pliers!
Any advice please?
Thanks!

If you really need / want a multi-tool then I'd think you're better off with a Gerber than a Swiss Army Knife; I think the screwdriver blade is the only extra one I've actually used on my Swiss Army Knife in twenty years. The pliers on a Gerber are admittedly pretty usable, but really most of the extra bits and pieces on these knives are of dubious utility.

Personally I prefer an Opinel No 8 - cheaper, lighter and much better as a knife than any of the above. Mine also works as a flat blade screwdriver since the very tip was broken off about a decade ago but I wouldn't recommend it for that!

Re:

Leatherman Wave, only let down by the chocolate main blade :?

£100 @ Tiso's but £60 @ the Co-op or was it Tesco?????
Shop around, would I have another one YES.

Definitely recommend a Leatherman wave, find it invaluable at work, it could tell some stories

Had it almost 17 years now and still going strong.

What ever you finally decide on just make sure it's genuine as i've had a few imitations over the years which family or friends have bought me and are all either hidden in a draw some where or binned and the only decent one i've ever owned was a small very basic swiss army knife which consisted of 1 blade , tooth pick and a combi nail file n flat screwdriver which i found back in 1998 and i've not owned it for about 10 years now as the Mrs claimed it :cry: ..
