I think a great option to consider is the Roxon Flex, as you can have whatever tools you want and not have anything even resembling a knife. And even if the want to confiscate your knife you can pull a fast one and pull out just the blade. You should also consider the Rebar, Bond, Super Tool etc. have very poor plier ergonomics. You are limited in the amount of force you can apply on them as it simply gets too painful rather quickly. I was very excited to get a Super Tool 300 until I had it in hand.
