Which multitool should I buy?

I currently have a Swiss Army Knife Deluxe Tinker which is great, but I hate that it doesn’t have locking blades or a saw. Can anyone suggest a good multitool with these features:

locking blade that’s at least 2 inches (preferrably serrated, although I do like those sharp/serrated combo blades)
saw
pliers
scissors
phillips/flathead screwdiver, I don’t really care for extra bits.
metal file

I’m just planning on using this for everyday activities, nothing too serious or outdoorsy. Seems like the leatherman wave fits the bill, but it’s a tad large for pocket carrying. Can anyone recommend anything?

If it’s pocket size you’re looking for, one option you can try is the Leatherman Juice series, particularly the Juice Xe6. The Juice series was made to condense the reliability of Leatherman’s best-known models to fit in the palm of your hand, as well as fit snugly in your pocket.

Like most Leatherman products, the Juice Xe6 comes standard with needle nose pliers, a clip point knife, Phillips screwdriver, and scissors. But that’s not all! As the knife with the most tools of the Juice series, the Xe6 also comes with the saw and metal file you’re looking for, as well as two additional screwdrivers, an additional serrated knife, an additional diamond coated file, two wire cutters, and all tools are outside-accessible. You can read more about this tank of a multitool from Leatherman’s website http://www.leatherman.com/product/Juice_Xe6

One downside of this heavy-features multitool, though, is that the Juice Xe6 doesn’t have locking blades. If you still prefer a pocket-sized multitool with locking blades, I’d recommend getting a Wenger Swiss Army Knife (SAK). Wenger, makers of the “Genuine” SAK (and now owned by Victorinox), isn’t as famous as its sister company, but its availability of pocket tools with locking blades sets it apart.

From Wenger’s selection, I would recommend the Evolution S585. This SAK comes with a 2.5 inch locking blade, pliers, scissors, Phillips screwdriver, saw, and other tools, as well as a unique design that lets it fit in your hand better. While it lacks a metal saw, the Evolution S585 one of the finer SAK’s that Wenger has to offer. Here’s the link for more information http://www.wengerna.com/evolution-s585-16822

Hope this helps you find the right multitool for you!
