Swiss Army knife vs. individual (better) items (Opinel No. 3, 2-inch Westcott scissors, titanium tweezers, nail file)

SAKs are a popular item, but given that Swiss Army knives are not allowed in carry-on I was interested in alternatives.

What do you use?

I love a good Opinel knife, but isn't the point of the Swiss Army knife that it saves space?

the real question is what do you need a pocket knife for on an ultralight-style hike when you have a pair of titanium scissors?

Overnight backcountry backpacking/hiking in the spirit of taking less and doing more. Ask yourself: do I really need that?
