>>806820I had one of those little ones for ~13 years for edc. Used it ALL the time.
Wound up upgrading to a SAK Compact and only carry the small ones to formal events. For about a year, they were allowed on airplanes... then the mudslimes fucking ruined that again, too.
At this point I find little to no use for the really small ones, but the full size SAKs are really nice edc. People aren't intimidated by them like they are a "scary looking" knife. The red scales are comforting to most people, I guess. I bust it out in my EXTREMELY liberal office building every day for one thing or another (opening a box, cleaning my keyboard, toothpick, etc.), and have never had a funny look.
For /out/ purposes, I find it less useful than a leatherman, but since I'm too cheap to buy a different knife for each of my uses, it works just fine /out/. There's a reason it's used by virtually every boyscout.
