Most useful (yet practical) Swiss Army Knife?

[c7m2p3]

I'll put a vote in for the regular Tinker I keep it on a ring with my car fob. You get 2 blades, a bottle opener, a phillips head and a flat head driver, plus tweezers and a tootpick in the handle which are great bonuses (Tweezers get far more use). That and I got it in the cheesy but also cool warthog scale pattern

Yeah now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever used the corkscrew. But I can see how that might be important for Europeans being the knife is made in Europe.

Whadya say, @GAGL .. is the corkscrew a big deal over there?

My wine boxes have spigots but the corkscrew has many other uses .

Untie knots , holder for small screwdriver or other tool , open wood draws or doors with no knobs , crude drill . etc .

But usually, I'd still opt for the Phillips head .

Tinker / Super Tinker are my sentimental favorites.

The warthog trim is the best! My son has a tinker that we got him for Christmas a couple of years ago. I regret not picking up my swisschamp with those scales. It appeals to my inner child and amuses me greatly.

Edited for spelling

I find the Explorer best for me.

I have a few but for me the the one on my keychain is the Rambler

The one usually in my pocket is the Ranger

And sometimes the Cybertool if I need what it does

Tinker or Scientist. Scientist (mod'ed together, not a real one) is rather thin but had the magnifying glass in it which I wanted.

2 are on me every day,alox electrician and a executive super handy

 

[Trawlerman]

Rambler on the keychain rarely gets any use. The Alox Cadet, for me, is the perfect 5th pocket knife that gets used often. The Pioneer X I have mixed feelings about. It's not a good 5th pocket fit and too heavy bulky to just drop inn the RF pocket. So...Cadet it is!

The corkscrew is the nuts for getting O rings out of their little grooves. You can also open a bottle of wine with it. And carry a tiny eyeglass screwdriver in it. Scissors are super handy too. Also tweezers and toothpick. The least useful tool on a SAK is a package carrier hook, followed closely by small blade.

Nice teeth: it can even chew the food for you!

Signature Lite.
Size of a Rambler but with a functional LED.

I wonder.. does anyone use their tweezers and toothpick? I can’t remember ever using them on any of mine. Maybe that’s why alox wasn’t all that risky of a move for them?

Alox Electrician. it has a short straight edge, a punch, and a screwdriver/bottle opener. Most important, it is only two layers. If I go into the woods, I’ll swap for the Farmer, and put up with the third layer for the saw.

 

[Legendary_Jarl]

Does it have to be Victorinox? I like the tools this Spanish SAK-like knife has and it has a locking blade:

 

[sodak]

As much as I like the look and feel of Alox, the others have been so much more practical for me. I love having the needle which I've used many times for splinter removal, as well as the corkscrew and eyeglass screwdriver, which I've used many times.

Swisschamp XL. Keep it riding next to my Espada XL all day. Just kidding, but that is just cause I don't have a Swisschamp XL though.
I only have a Camper.

Before I retired , I carried an Explorer. Now I rotate thru several 2 layer Vic's ... Tinker, Spartan, Sportsman, Recruit, Pioneer, Compact.
My must have is a can opener, and yes, I use both the toothpick and tweezer.
