Title says it all.
Not the heavy duty multi-tools per say, but lightweight pocket knives with screwdrivers, bottle openers, etc.
Examples: Kershaw Shuffle, Kershaw Select Fire, Opinel DIY, Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker.

Which are your favorites? Thanks!
 
I really like the SAK One Handed Trekker. Nice sided knife with several very good tools. Has a lock blade which is a plus.
 
It all very interesting to collect and use multi tools.
Experience will logically go towards compactness and minimalism.
Nobody enjoys packing a dead weight...
Especially if not every single tool is used
or required on an every day basis.
I foresee a bright future
With single sheet tools.
No doubt they will never be labeled as heavy duty tools.
And they might suffer from safety concerns;
But they are a logical progression as carry items.

SAK. Pick whichever one has the tools you need.

+1 to that. The Swiss Army Knives have pretty much every conceivable combination of features and tools. And you can carry more than one. I personally carry both a Victorinox Classic and a Victorinox Swiss Champ.

I see bloody fingers all the way on that dude.
 
A lot all depends on what your usage balance might be.

If you're going to use the screwdriver a lot-- the Kershaw Select Fire has the best bit driver I know of in a knife-based tool. If you're looking for a generalized toolset that will do most things acceptably, I like the Vic Explorer or similar-sized SAK. If you are looking for a decent knife with added screwdriver / bitdriver and bottle opener, it takes a little effort to find, but the Leatherman E55b has the best blade I know of in a multifunction package, or E33b if you prefer a lighter package. The right one for you just depends on what your priority might be-- screwdriver with knife, multifunction knife, or knife with added tools.

Victorinox Tinker, Farmer, or Pioneer. A Plain edge Trekker if you need one hand opening and a locking blade.

Leatherman PST if you want to pocket carry a plier based tool.
 
Here's a combo sheath I made for my Pruner single layer SAK .
The other one in the first photo is what I call my BBQ sheath , its what I wear now when I'm going out to friends places and BBQ's

Well, my mini flashlights are jealous. They don't get to hang out with my knives like that :(
