I have a Leatherman Wave on each of my various packs, both my son's packs and one in my boat. I think I have at least six of them.
I keep a SOG Powerlock EOD Multi-tool in my truck.
I have a Micro-Multi tool, attached to each of my tackle boxes fishing vests by lanyard, and in my laptop backpack.

I do not carry one on my person anymore, I carry a SOG Flash II knife.
But I always have a Multi-tool within reach, LOL

Funny, I just realized how many I have, granted these have accumulated over the years.  :o

I tried to find the link, to no prevail on the web, but i have a dvd of an Idaho fish and game warden who shows how to break down an elk, gutless method, with a  leatherman. All i can say was i was skeptical before i saw this video, after wards....freaking amazed. I used this as my base for learning the method. Its all i do now. I still down use a leatherman, mainly for weight issues back county elk hunting, but my main knife is know a 2 inch blade folding gerber or my havalon.

I have used my Leatherman to skin a deer, they sure get gunked up with silverskin and can be pretty hard to clean later, but they work.

leatherman wave - not the lightest option on the market but you gotta love being able to open and close blades one-handed from the outside of the tool frame.  :tup:

regular blade, serrated blade, saw and file on the exterior of the frame - great all around tool.

It is a nice idea to have all that stuff but in the end it is just too much weight for me.  I hate carrying weight I never use.

Used a Leatherman on deer a ton now just use a small pocket knife.  Have broke a few of the pliers when using them in cold weather however.  Many like the Gerber I have just always used Leatherman.  Would not catch me without one while fishing.  Bike riding and boating I always seem to feel the need to bring it along.  Love the multitool.

I carry a Leatherman Juice in the field, regular blade, serrated blade. saw and tools. It has helped open gates (rope frozen) fixed things and done its job. But I also carry a good quality case pocket knife (two blades) with excellent steel 24 x 7 and it has done all of the cutting I have ever needed. The pocket knife is easy to clean and keeps a razor sharp edge. I consider any good quality multi tool a survival tool designed for emergencies and light daily use. Good luck on your choice.

I carry a Gerber all the time in the woods, but I also have my Havalon with me. For the extra couple-few ounces the Havalon adds, the knife function is about 1000x better. You'll never know the Havalon was there.

I should pick up a Havalon.  Do you have a specific model you like for any reason or another?

I have the orange handled Piranta but I think the new one out is the Bolt maybe?? Either or. I think I'd buy the Bolt.

I carry a gerber and an outdoor edge.  I like to keep my multi-tool in perfect shape for an emergency. Save the game processing for the outdoor edge.

I decided to bring my small multitool and bought a havalon.
