 Well, I like the idea of a locking blade....i've never had a knife with that feature, but after nearly amputating various parts of my body while trying to perform other tasks with my knife, it seems like a valuable feature.  Gotta have nice scissors too.  Can get by without all the other stuff except what I mentioned earlier.  I may have to bail on Victorinox and try Wenger.  I'll research it.  I've already reviewed all the Swiss models.  (Not THOSE Swiss models, guys....).

Thanks,

Gail aka Wheeew

i carry a wenger securite'. at least that is what it's called now. it has a large, locking blade, nice set of scissors, can opener, bottle opener and nailfile. it also has an awl, corkscrew, toothpick and tweezers. i've used nearly all of these  tools backpacking. the bottle opener has a flat blade screwdriver on it that i've used to open my bear container, the awl i've used to clean the holes in my alcohol stove. i bought the tiny screwdriver to put with the corkscrew so i can change the battery in my photon flashlight in an emergency. you can see all of the swiss army knives at www.swiss-knife.com. i hope this helps.
