It's always useful to have a Swiss Army Knife around. The Compact model (at .58 inches) is slimmer than their other offerings, making it much more pleasant to carry. With a knife, scissors, corkscrew, hook, can/bottle opener, tweezers and a toothpick, this has everything you need to get most of your urban tasks done.

Victorinox (the manufacturer) still makes these in Switzerland with skilled craftsmen, and it shows. The implents fold in and out with a resoudning snap, and each tool comes oiled and ready for use. You can really feel the quailty in this thing.

I like the black finishing; I think it's much more elegant. While you probably don't need to carry this with you 24/7, it's a good thing to have around the house.

I have one that I always keep in my pocket. It's useful on camping trips and you don't need all the bulky extras you get with some SAKs. This does the job just fine and is a reasonable size.
