The smallest and most lightweight fully functional one is Wenger´s "Classic 101" (No 11019). Blade, corkscrew and combined bottle/can-opener. The latter is out of the factory nearly useless for for opening cans by being completely blunt. A bit of work with grinder, file and waterstone gave it an edge where its needed and now I have a fully functional tool

The big one is a "New Ranger 61" (No 17761) and the only big Wenger with a lockblade that I would use. The others from Wenger are far to bulky and have handles which are not a bit ergonomical. So in the past I used those from Victorinox.
But this one is designed to be opened singlehanded and thats a feature I definitly like ever since I purchased my first Spyderco. The handle has (for a SAK) a very ergonomical shape and all the basic tools needed. Its a shame that the edge only starts from 15mm form the handle. It takes that long to taper from 3mm down to an edge. I will modify this part, too and post some more pics soon.
