Army Knife

What type of army knife is the best? (will choose best answer!)?

I’m looking to get my boyfriend a swiss army type of knife as a graduation gift. He is graduating from the cabinetmaking/carpentry section of his vo-tech school. I want to get him something that he can actually use on the job if he needs to, any suggestions on a good brand or specific knife?

I have both, the way I see it is the only real difference between a Leather Man and A Swiss Army Knife is that a Leather Man has a wire cutter and pliers. I carry both with me but I use my Swiss Army Knife a lot more because it’s easier to use and all the tools are outside for fast use rather than the Leather Man depending on the model may or may not have the blades saw and file on the outside or inside making you open it up to use them or the tools, the tools are always on the inside as well, taking a little time to get them out as well. Both come in a wide selection of models from basic to extremely deluxe. both are great and will last for many many years, I think Leather Mans are more durable in my opinion. I say both, but your choice will depend on what he needs in his multi tool.

but on the S.A.K the pliers are another style of bottle opener and no screw driver on the back
