You might have heard the Benjamin Franklin quote, \u201cA jack of all trades is a master of none.\u201d Yet people forget the rest of the quote, \u201c\u2026 but oftentimes better than a master of one.\u201d The unabridged quote perfectly describes a Swiss Army Knife. It\u2019s usually not the best tool for the job, but it can do just enough to solve most problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been testing the capabilities of the best Swiss Army Knife models, as well as a few alternatives, to find the ones that strike the right balance of portability and capability. Here are my picks for the best SAKs:<\/p>\n

    How I Chose the Best Swiss Army Knives<\/h2>\n

    The six SAKs (and one alternative) I\u2019ve chosen have excellent features you\u2019ll use all the time and are easy to carry in a pocket. Because there are so many capable Swiss Army knives on the market, at the end of each review you\u2019ll find a suggestion for a similar SAK that might peak your interest as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Victorinox has a SAK flavor to suit any taste, and in my quest to find the best of their over 250 variations, I selected knives that balance function with practical needs. Yes, the gigantic Swiss Champ XLT<\/a> is a very cool gadget, but completely impractical for most people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    For the three SAKs and the alternatives I tested, I used every function the tools had to see how they performed: I cut wire ties, paper, and 550 cord with scissors. I carved wood and cut cardboard with the knives. I turned screws with the screwdrivers. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

    Using all the functions helped me evaluate their usefulness and provide information on what each is best for. I also carried the multi tools to see which of their many features I used the most and how practical they were in daily life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
