I will have to look at those brands, to see what they offer.

I have a couple of Leatherman multitools, and some Victorinox SAKs. I like the
Victorinox Equestrian one. It comes with a hoof pick for cleaning horse hooves,
which is always handy. That said, I am very partial to knives you can operate
with just one hand.

One of my horses managed to entangle herself with a rope to the point she
nearly suffocated on that thing. Being able to hold her still with one hand
while I opened the knife with the other had no price. Still the half a second
it took me to deploy the blade must have been the most stressful instant in my
life (believe me, it beat being cornered by a weirdo in a public bathroom). And
the lock of the thing failed on me and I slashed my hand.

The knife cost 3 eur (literally) and the mare is still with me, so not
complaining here. But fixed blade for the win XD
