Bought these last week, very pleased with them. Nice beechwood handles, containing a small saw blade and a wee knife. Fold down to 3cm x 9cm, come with pouch with integral belt loops.

They're by a company called 'Apple to Pears', bought from Amazon; sorry, should have said so, £16.54
I had something similar, but with a plastic handle from the same company, but I seem to have lost them on the allotment somewhere recently, one of those things you put down and then you can't remember where you put it down, I expect they will turn up when I am digging everything over in Autumn. Damn nuisance losing them as folding secateurs are really convenient to just stick in your pocket for all those pruning jobs.
I bought mine with a specific project in mind, but I can see already how useful they're going to be generally. They live in my gardening pinny with my SAK, so hopefully safe
My wife has a pair of these. I hate them, and not just because they're pink 
The handles curve the wrong way so they don't sit in the hand very well. They're probably fine for the odd light task but I'm still on the lookout for a proper pair of folding snips. I wish Leatherman would re-release the ones they used to do. Or even better if Felco could come up with a set.

For a while I had the strange urge to get some Leatherman Vistas
http://www.leatherman.com/vista-101.html?cgid=retiredproducts
aimed at the U.S. Hunting market. Since it is highly unlikely I will ever need to make a snipers hide i'm glad I managed to resist. They weren't cheap I remember that much but seemed very well made.

Most of my pruning tools are Fiskars.
Orange handles for a reason, I suppose. Very solid plastic and fiberglas.
The camo green on the Vistas look ripe for a quick loss.
