The Victorinox might be a good tool for those trying to consolidate their pen, knife, and multitool. The plus scales mean you get a pressurized ballpoint pen in the package.
This SAK has the same versatile combination tool that lets my beloved Victorinox Bantam pack so much function into such a small space; this one sheet of metal can pry, scrape, open bottles, open cans, strip wires, flat screw, and (kind of) Philips screw.
It's called the Compact because even though it's just two layers, you get those awesome scissors, and a load of other functionality. That said, it's a bit bigger than I usually carry in the pocket, yet the pen is almost too small to be useful.
For me, it's a gem around SAKs. With only 2 layers, it packs so much, that I barely use my folders or multitools in normal day-to-day tasks. It is a classic piece of gear that's always with me.
