   Definitely the one you need. Impossible to say about your needs between utility blade and serrated regular one. Regular one has bit driver

   None. Get the WorkPro instead.

   I like the one with the extra blade storage

   dunno if this is a popular choice but i really like the metal body one, it has kind of a point at the end of the handle instead of being square like those pictures, and its a little slimmer, and frankly just feels nice to me. the handle makes it easier to slide into a pocket. no extra blade storage is the only downside. ive never been able to go back to non-fastback utility knives!

   Really depends on what the intended use is.

   I always had the regular straight edge, and it was useful. Unfortunately the steel is garbage and doesn’t hold an edge, and I don’t waste time sharpening it. So I switched to the 6 in 1 utility. It’s a bit thicker, and the ergo’s suffer a bit. For me, the blade storage, and the screwdriver have been a god send. Always having a razor sharp blade on me is super useful.

   I carry a multibit, but the driver in the 90 degree position lets me get into tighter spots, without having to grab a smaller driver.

   Overall the 6 in 1 is what works for me, although the thickness and ergo’s are downfalls over just the straight edge.
