Don't wanna' carry my Benchmade anymore because it spooks normalniggers. Been looking through the Victorinox catalog, but I can't find one that isn't loaded up with a bunch of crap that I'd never use.

Obvious Wave. Replace small bit holder with medium flat screwdriver on your own (it's a shame they've accomplished it in the new Surge but new Wave still has this shit).

Those are the ones actually issued to the Swiss, you've got 2 sizes of flat one good Phillips. That's bound to be enough for 90% of tinkering. Both the big flat and the blade locks, the blade is a sharp 4.inch, serrated drop point, it locks and the handle give you a very nice grip.
As usual the idea of seriously considering a folder to fight is stupid but it should work for a singlular use self-defense.
Also sage for QTDDTOT.
The German army uses a VERY similar one.
A swiss fag at my work, who used to be in the swiss army (as most swiss males were) bought an old German army knife because he got so used to carrying his swiss army knife around, and the German surplus one was apparently cheaper to obtain.
Fun fact: exactly two tools of the German military multi tool are secured from accidentally closing when in use. The actual knife and the bottle opener.
I loved that knife. It had the perfect size/weight and the blade was very sturdy. All the tools were absolutely necessary at some point. Only negative was that the saw is a little hard to clean if you use it to cut young trees (with lots of sticky sap).

This, best purchase I've made, which made my job less shit than it was. If you want more bits, you have to get the extra bit pack.
Any EDC multi-tool with a knife with a blade under 3"? Like 2.5" or so because the kike law says the blade starts where the handle ends.
what's the small knife with hole in it used for?
How the hell do you fail to conceal a knife? Do you wear spandex pants, or something?
They were made to the same requirements but Wengers are all around built much stronger when it comes to the lock and blades.
Wenger was the company that made the Swiss blades and bayonets, Victorinox makes novelty knifes and watches (and is largely the one that popularized Swiss army knife outside Switzerland even if the army always awarded that contract to both of them, until Wenger was bought by Victorinox).
It's the design they did for the Swiss army requirement while they were still largely independent (but being now a brand part of Victorinox it wasn't submitted).
It's an awl, you use it to sew leather/heavy canvas, etc… necessary tool for field repairs.
Victorinox is pretty much what you described in the weight and utility department but if the already posted options still don't interest you there is always SOG. They make multi tool pliers that you can customize to make your own snowflake tool since they use regular torx bits to hold the tools in, not the little sunburst thing leather man uses. Only down side is that if you like the leatherman set up (serrated blade, file, wood saw, and plain edge knife all in one) you'll end up having to shell out and extra 5 or so to buy their little add on piece of whatever tool you want as they don't always come with the four.
Shit where the fuck do you live?
Leather man Squirt is about 2 inches when folded so the blade will be a bit smaller. Then again this is more of a clip on your keys and forget it kind of thing so what you're probably asking for is a full size thing. You're probably better off getting a blade less version of a fullsize multi tool leather man has them specifically for your'e situation and walk around with a smaller opinel or razor blade utility knife in the other pocket. Better yet just say fuck it and open carry a fixed blade along with a real multi tool. Unless you're walking into a poz college campus or you're acting like a sand nigger you should be good without people making much of a fuss.
I use it for drilling holes into my leather belt when needed or other hard materials needing a hole. The hole can be used to get a piece of cordage through said hole.
