Left column:
Leatherman Charge: Current EDC. 2nd hand find in amazing shape. I also got a leather pouch as part of the deal (not pictured). Great multitool.
Victorinox Spartan: Honestly? Pretty good. Used to carry it in the army after I realised the Columbia multitool is too bulky, too heavy and not well made enough. Replaced with a Huntsman after.
Victorinox Waiter: My first SAK. Used to have a Classic and a Climber as a kid, but I lost them both. The collcetion started with this fellow. Nit bad for EDC, although I prefer the spartan for those tasks.
Victorinox Recruit: The second SAK. Loved it, was my EDC in and out of the army for a long while. A lot of functionality in a very small package, and the blades stay sharp.
Columbia (yes, the clothing brand) Multitool: Honestly? Meh. The pliers are springy, the saw works, the screwdrivers screw and the bottle opener opens bottles. My problem were with the blade lost edge after a day of use in camping (something that didn’t happen with my SAKs), and that the can opener sucks.
Right column:
Victorinox Explorer: Current EDC, and favourite knife. Has everything I need in base and as civilian EDC; scissors, a magnifying glass, screwdrivers and openers. When I need pliers or a saw I carry the Leatherman too, but due to its weight and the fact that it has a locking, 1-hand opening blade, I leave it at home when not uniformed. In uniform, I have the Explorer in my pocket and the Charge (+ a bit screwdriver) in a sheath.
Victorinox Camper: Great knife, carried it with me to camp (and it saved my class’ asses when we needed to open cans for our meals). I plan on giving it to my friend who wants to start a knife collection.
Victorinox Huntsman. Used to carry it as well. Really neat multi-tool for camping; I still bring it to trips when I am not in uniform.
Munkees Keychain Multitool; Honestly, no idea why I bought it. Maybe I wanted a light pliers for EDC? Still, it stays in the box with the rest of the tools.
The Silver-tech is my favorite, but TTI is not shit either.
