I carry this thing ALWAYS! No matter if outside, inside or at night going to the toilet.

Edit: Carry SAKs for many years now. This specifically since last year, when my wife gave it to me for my birthday.

    I’ve just recently gotten into the world of SAKs and this one in particular almost made it into my shopping cart. In the end it was a tad big for what I wanted to carry every day but it still looks phenominal!

      For me it’s okay, I always wear pants with big pockets, so it doesn’t bother me. But I get what you mean. I am curious, what did you get instead?

        I wound up going with a Deluxe Tinker mainly for the pliers to replace an SOG PowerPint. I carry a leather pouch/organiser and it juuust fits in the larger pocket

          Ah okay, a colleague of mine carry’s one everywhere. Pretty nice and I was considering it for myself, but once I saw the screwdriver with bits I was in love :D

          But the Cybertool L is a bit too big for a pouch. In mine I keep a Rambler besides the Victorinox Nail Clip (the single one). Perfect combo for keeping those nails in shape.

          Just looked up the SOG, looks like a beast. Why did you switch? Size?

            The size and pliers were excellent…about every other tool was just awful. Some tools just flat out barely worked like the line cutter, file, and scissors, while the ruler was completely unusable due to how the multitool itself designed. It also listed a medium flathead but there is only an extra small that’s meant for things like glasses.

            It’s a shame really, it is an awesome design but they really screwed up with what makes a multitool “Multi”

              Wow… for a price around 70€ I would have imagined to get at least something middle class, but that sounds actually awful. The victorinox pliers are pretty good, while not as awesome as the letterman ones, but still good enough for my uses.

    Ah, an individual of distinction.

    Unfortunately my Cybertool 41/L was lost ages ago, but the M and Cybertool Lite are good replacements.

    My other fave Swiss Army knife is the Hercules, which offers the longer blade and the bulletproof Phillips screwdrivers.

    Hey got that one too, but my workplace is so strict I can’t have this as my daily carry, nor a smartphone or a smartwatch. Kicker is: I’m a service engineer, hardware / software installing for laptops, desktops and servers all day long. So this would come in handy every day. Go figure!

      Oh wow… Why are there such strict rules? I used to work as IT-Admin for many companies and used to do similar work, but never had such rules. I carried a Huntsman back than and even that one was VERY helpful. Hmm… actually my company never bought any tools for our technicians, so maybe that’s why there were no rules, but still wondering why you weren’t allowed to wear even a smartwatch or carry your smartphone?!

      I have a couple of Super Tinkers in my toolboxes, but I have to be honest – that T-handle Phillips driver is a hot mess. I far prefer the inline design of the Cybertool and the 111mm drivers.

        I agree but the Phillips screwdriver has saved me before so I’m not going to knock it. Way better than nothing.

        I’m probably gonna get a Cyber Tool Medium. The tiny screwdriver on the cork screw would be nice to have for glasses.

          You can buy those online and add them to any SAK with a corkscrew.

      Thanks, was carrying a Huntsman for years. Definitely recommend the upgrade if you don’t mind the bigger size
