I don't really like Swiss Army knives either many of the features are not very functional, or redundant within the tool itself.
I do have a, non-leatherman brand Leatherman and it's totally great.
It's great because I have it on me when I need it, and that's not going to happen with the rest of my tools, as I'm not bringing an entire tool box on a camping trip, or a bike tour, or traveling around the country.
I mean, ask Aron Ralston what he thinks was a good tool to bring along (other than a freakin' clue on things to do, before going on the types of trips he goes on).
