I voted Multitool as I always carry Leatherman juice (CS4) and have ordered a Charge Ti but I do have a small SAK on my keyring but it is small enough to hardly count and if I had got the leatherman first I would never have bothered with it.
Ahh geez, decisions, decisions, decisions and I need another choice cause I carry both. :roll:
But, I use the SAK more often, so I clicked that one for both EDC and BCC.

not a real fan of either for bushcrafting or edc
gerber is handy on the farm mostly for the pliers and screwdrivers but thats not exactly bushcraft
and saks , nice neat and compact tho they are, i'm afraid i dont have much time for em at all
most useful bit is the tinopener, but bottles ya can open with a fencepost or a lighter
still deciding on my edc, the legal spydie pride may grow on me yet (but i hope not it is just too ugly)

very hard choice, a SAK is my EDC, because it is much lighter than my multitool. But a multitool has pliers, which are very usefull as potlifter, to operate my stove, etc. I choice from these 2, depeding from what i have planned to do.
I forgot to put an option for both. Very silly considering I often have a classic and a swiss tool on me.
It must be the SAK. You can trim your nails after you've opened a nice chilled bottle of chardonnay.

Am I the only person that thinks that SAK's are 
?
Too small to be a decent multitool, too heavy to be a decent knife.
I always have my Gerber Legend and whatever locking folder is in vogue with me at the moment.

Multi tool and folder ... if I really need to open a bottle of wine and don't have a cork screw handy, I do my party trick of pushing the cork in with my thumb

could you grip the cork with the pliers?
