The Leatherman Squirt is one of our favorite small pocket knife types because we like having the extra tools that come in handy for all kinds of jobs. One user has said its like a Swiss army knife on steroids, for those that need more than just a blade.

We like the Leatherman for backpacking, camping and hiking because of the various tasks these little fellas lend a hand to, and they are useful for all the everyday stuff too.

The Squirt ES4 features, needlenose pliers with a wire stripper, spring action scissors, wood/metal file, bottle opener, screwdriver, and a 420HC clip-point knife blade.
