What is the best multi-blade pocket knife - brand, model, etc?

Looking to replace much used, loved and now lost Swedish pocket knife my grandfather gave me +60 years ago. Spent half this long weekend in internet searching and couldn't find anything really close to what I lost.



Entirely separate question with nothing to do with my 1st question.
What is the "most useful" Swiss Army Knife?

I have a pretty decent knife collection many types and sizes. All I carry is a $20 Victorinox Swiss Army Officer knife.

I've always carried a Case Trapper.

I have had an old leatherman for at least 25 plus years, it's the original, can't tell you how many times it's gotten me out of a bind. Lost it one time for a few years, then found it when I was cleaning under the truck seat.

I learned a long time ago. Don't get to attached to a pocket knife. If I haven't lost it, it ended up the trash can at the airport!!

You asked for opinions. I own both but I never understood the point of having multiple blades and the Swiss Army knife designs are WAY outdated imo. There are better options.

I'm a big Swiss fan. I've carried one daily for over 40 years. I've had a few but the one I have had the longest is the Ranger (I think).
It has the two blades, nail file, saw, scissors, phillips screwdriver/can opener, flat screwdriver/bottle opener, corkscrew (with the micro screwdriver that screws into it), awl, chisel, funky hook looking thing, toothpick and tweezers.
I use it for lots of stuff.

A few years ago I finally dropped it one too many times and one of the plastic sides broke off and I couldn't super glue it back on. I called their US office and they said mail it back to them.
It took 3 or 4 weeks but they fixed it, cleaned it up and sharpened the blades free of charge.

If I have to fly I always check at least one bag. As I walk up to the check in counter I take out my Swiss and my Zippo and put them in the bag. As soon as I get my bag back at pick up I get my Swiss and Zippo and put them back in my pocket.

I've carried a pocket knife for many years, mostly three blade types. My current one, cause I've lost a few, is a Schrade Uncle Henry.

I need to buy a pocket knife. Wife keeps getting mad finding her kitchen knifes in the garage next to the empty bags of fertilizer.

Its hard to clean your nails with a kitchen knife.

PGR, I have the exact same Schrade Walden Uncle Henry. I’ve carried that knife for 40 years. My girlfriend now wife bought it for me for Christmas in 1980.

Been carrying the same Boy Scout pocket knife since 1977.

I smoke

Get you a set of gerbers and thank me later it’s very handy
