As a fan of Leatherman multi tools I compare other similar tools to them.

Spirit is excellent tool with sturdy build and good ergonomics. I own the Spirit I which differs from the one pictured here by not having scissors (replaced with a file) or the ruler on the handle.

Weight/size/tool ratio is what I'm used to so it feels just right. It doesn't have removable bits so you don't have to worry about losing them. Build quality feels solid (no clap, locking mechanism works well, handles don't bend too much when applying force on the plier).

Only complaint is the rather steep price. You get equally good tool from Leatherman cheaper. But if you are anti - Leatherman, Spirit is an excellent choice.

Outstanding versital tool that I've used for years now. Quality construction with now problems as of yet. Just keep it sharpened. Would highly recommend this multi-tool to anyone for light duty workload around the house of campfire.

I have used this utility knife for over 10 years. I use it on a daily basis at work or home. The cutter and blades still hold a good edge with never being re-sharpened. Good selection of accessory tools and very sturdy design. I highly recommend owning one of these excellent tools.

This is a Swiss Army Knife in modern multi-tool form. I believe SAKs are the original multi-tools and they have lived up to it with the SwissTool. This is the best multi-tool I have ever owned. I have owned a few Leatherman tools and a several Gerbers. A Leatherman failed on me in Somalia when I really needed it. I like the Gerbers ok, but I had one of those fall apart at the hinge. The SwissTool has performed better than either. It has several very good qualities, such as: comfortable shape, the tools are accessible from the outside without having to open the pliers, high quality stainless steel, and a very solid build. I carried this one in Afghanistan and it held up perfectly. The separate plain-edge and serrated blades really do give you the best of both, without the typical compromise of a half-serrated blade. I would highly recommend this multi-tool, and any other Victorinox knife, to anyone.

as always, the quality if victorinox is amazing, i have a few letherman MTs but they seem a little uncomfortable for EDC because you need to open the pliers to get the rest of the tools out, this one you can just use it as any other victorinox, i really recomend this MT for EDC even if its a bit heavy.
