I get what you're saying, a lot of them are large, and the smaller ones you wouldn't want to put too much force on them. This tool is just 7.5 cm long, and probably 1.5 times the width of a pen knife. The pliers from hilt to tip are 42mm. So it's far from massive. The blades are a sensible selection. And the built in torch is actualy pretty bright for a 6v LED. Also the return spring for the pliers is not exposed, like a lot of cheapos where they are prone to pop out with a lateral knock. I think it's very well designed, and tough. There are star bolts holding everything together, which would allow you to take it all apart if you wanted.
Just the other day I wanted to take the metal tag off a zip and pull some paracord through the zipper eye, the cord being slightly larger than the slot. It was easy to cut the metal, twist it to pull off, then bight the cord to pull through. I'm sure you could do that with a SAK, but with this it was very easy.
The grab point is right at the tip, so they also double up as tweazers, and the bite width allows you to get at up to 20mm bolts. They're also usefull to pick up hot items too, like just spent meths burners.
I've been given/bought a few cheap multi tools over the years. This one is definately my favourite. It's almost jewelry to look at and hold. 8)

Wow, they look great! doesn't seem companies want to make practical knives like these for our british market anymore. damn shame too, they look and function well. i hear spyderco made a pocket knife for british edc..but im not a fan of the style..or the price tag.

yeah the spydi UKPK is what you mean,...its a nice legal folder,...a mate has one,..i have a persistance on the pic somewhere,...NOT legal carry tho,...hahah
haha got a cracking handle hasn't it? shame about butterfly knives..actualy a very safe and sturdy locking mechanism. never seen one that looks like anything other than a stabber though..i guess its the market.
