Unless I'm planning on gutting an animal, why would I need more knife than this?

Real pros take 2, in case you lose one.

>need
you don't need it, only a retard would say you "need" it

but do you -want- it?
do you want a mini saw blade, scissors, bottle / can opener, an awl, tweezers, etc?
if you want that but don't wanna carry a box will all that in it, then yeah, you use that

this is something that was learned back in the roman times, its not something to argue with, it simply -is-
>>
A full tang knife can be used for battoning, if you're into that kind of thing.

Is a Huntsman better than a Leatherman Wave?
>>
>>2869782
No clue, I only have the Huntsman, but I like it.
>>
>>2869782
Leatherman wave is absolutely a more versatile and robust tool but it's also twice as heavy and expensive
Pliers are nice, locking blade is nice.
But for the same cash you can get a pair of aluminum fishing pliers to go with your huntsman.
I'm more of a rebar nigga anyways
>>
>>2869791
I have a Wave but it's too bulky to be an EDC for me. I'll definitely pick up a Huntsman, they look like they'll fit on to my keychain and fit in my pocket nice.

True story.
>>
>>2869760
I remember when my dad needed to cut some cord and the scissors he got couldn't cut through it cleanly. I pulled out my SAK and he laughed, saying the small scissors wouldn't be any better, and cut through it like butter.
>>
>>2869797
Funny enough, the main blade, the tiny scissors, and the toothpick are the only pieces of mine that I've used.
>>
>>2869842
do you kiss your dad on the mouth?
>>
>>2869859
No. My dad is one of those typical "feelings is weakness unless it's anger and rage" kind of guys.
>>
>>2869797
>>2869845
Yeah the scissors are one of the nicest parts.
>>
>>2869760
Most of the things on these things is gimmicky bullshit you will absolutely never use
>>
>>2869845
I've used the saw on occasion, and the corkscrew I used for unintended purposes that it just seemed intuitive for until it broke (chinesium brittle steel)

>need
For the price of a Victorinox ("Swiss Army" kniife) 33 piece multi tool you can get....
>not even kidding
All this shit
Folders, skinners, tooth picks, a set of kitchen knives, some throwers (well shit, didnt "need" those but now I have 'em) God damn samurai swords and even a fucking Bowie thats bigger than a roman short sword.
>>
>>2869918
The huntsman costs 36 dollars.
>>
>>2869918
The 33 functions victorinox is like 100 dollars. You can get 2 relatively nice knives for that money, but if you want to have all this shit for 100 you are gonna the cheapest low quality garbage there is
>>
I have a climber that's in my pocket 99% of the time it's pretty cool. If you're only doing light trips a victorinox is fine
>>
>>2869959
For all those times you need an awl at the summit?
>>
>>2869960
>awl
I looked online and there seems to be nerds coming up with all sorts of shit to do with the hook and the reamer, but I don't use em. The rest of the stuff comes in useful pretty frequently.

No clue why they called it 'climber', should be called 'IT desk job' or 'amazon package opener'.

I'll stick with my compact. Until they put scisors and a pen on a ranger grip, the compact has the most versatile tool set imo.
>>
>>2869961
I'm not against victorinox. The small one is probably really great if you travel and want to cut your fingernails. But the point of was trying to make is you don't need two separate bottle opening solutions in the back woods when stabbing it with a knife works.
