Everyday Carry. What essentials do you carry on a daily basis?

Leatherman FTW.

if they're accompanied with a knipex

I am no longer objective: I love these, I've been IDCing specifically the 91mm versions (like yours) my entire adult life. It has become a true extension of my body. I wouldn't consider a change simply because the muscle memory - this thing jumps into my hand safely and reliably without me ever getting to think about it no matter if I am drunk/ stoned or anything. The rule is that when I no longer can find the beer bottle opener - it's the most tricky one on the knife IMO - I should consider going home. Nothing gets close, different knifes can actually get dangerous for me now because I ain't used to the shape and I ain't any longer used to watch my hands operating a knife - I watch only when the cutting is done.

Anyway, I find the old-school opening "an important feature". These Victorinox knives are widely recognized around the world as not suitable for self-defense (at least not an effective one), which makes them perfect to bring places, where "regular" eg. "liner lock" knives might get you strange stares if not straight up confiscation. Places like government buildings, schools or guarded server rooms. The 58? mm models are too small for effective use, the bigger ones tend to have locks. I am an admin.

I have one with the nail clipper and small scissors, and it's been such a lifesaver! The clippers are actually better than most of the dedicated clippers I've used. I'm hoping they come up with a bigger version with a few more tools attached, and more interesting materials for a back up pair!

My only real complaint is:

1. They don't have a "build your own" program which I think would be amazing (but probably not worth the cost on their part)
2. In the age of modern steels, they haven't changed their formula. Now, look, I'm not asking for a Magnacut blade or anything like that, but something with a bit more edge retention? How about 14C28N? And yes, I can buy the MKM Campo with M390 steel which pretty much meets my needs except it's $160. I feel like, with their buying power, Victorinox could put out something with better steel for only slightly more money.

Anyway, these are pie-in-the-sky thoughts. the SAK is a standard by which others look to emulate for good reasons.

I have a Farmer X in green ALOX, a Camper in black ALOX, and the classic Hiker in red ABS and I'm happy with all 3. My Hiker is now my go-to for gathering fatwood in the nearby forest. That saw is perfect for the branches I'm looking for.

Depends on your use case, I carried one for years, and found it limited.
Switched to a Leatherman Skeletool and used it far more often, one of the major advantages is one hand knife opening (without a spring). If I'm holding something that needs to be cut, it's often inconvenient to have to put it down to get out a blade.
Best part is that it's really not noticeably bigger than a swiss army knife.

These days I carry a belt pouch with a Leatherman Signal, but if I'm going somewhere that a belt pouch would be weird, I have a Skeletool in my pocket.

Their kitchen chef's knives are also tremendous quality. My go-to knife recommendation

I'd love to see a next-gen SAK without nail nicks

Have I got some news for you, because the Swiss army is now issuing knives more like this one and there's some other similar variants

I haven't actually used any of the new style SAKs, I'm sure they're just fine though, I've never been burned by a Victorian product and I agree they're probably the best pocket tools (I do personally tend to prefer Leatherman tools, but I consider them more of a belt tool so apples and oranges.)

My Leatherman Squirt P4 will disagree with you. And that I need a keychain tool not a pocket tool. The SAK is too chunky in width to pocket carry comfortably for me.

They discontinued the squirt line which sucks though.
