Seeking small, light multi tool with pliers and blade

[Darell]

How about the Leatherman Freestyle?

similiar to the Skeletool in design but no screwdriver/bottle open/carabiner.

Mike up there in post #8 suggested the same unit. Very nice... but twice the size and weight that I'm looking for. Really the bar has been set at the Squirt at this point. It is what I'm carrying currently. I haven't had a need to deploy it yet, but I'm ready for action!

OK Darell, Try this one on for size (Pun intended!). The Swiss Tech Micro Plus Ex. Closed it measures 5/16" X 2" X 1-1/2". It will fit in one of those old plastic, pucker-opening coin purses with room to spare. Here is a picture. I own one of these and it is able to bring a surprising amount of grip for its size.

@Quest -

Thanks for the input! I'd like to try one of those in person - the handles look WAY more comfortable than most of the mini ones. The only real downside for me is that there is still no blade. :-(
