I don’t really understand why nobody is yet saying it, but Victorinox. Your classic was 58mm, the standard Victorinox are 91mm (or 93 if you go Alox). The scissors quite frankly are in another league. They SIGNIFICANTLY bigger and sturdier. They cut almost anything, effortlessly, and extremely precisely (useful for arts and crafts). If you need scissors, a blade and not much else, I would strongly advise for a Victorinox Compact, or a Climber or a Pioneer X. But the Compact seems to be the best suited.

The Powerpint is a much better multi-tool. The Compact is really just a knife and scissors. Have you tried to open a wine bottle with the corkscrew? It's a pain. The bottle opener is something I use maybe once a year. The hook? How often are you pulling out tent stakes or carry grocery bags with your multitool?
