Better than my Swiss Army
I've had Swiss Army Knives with the phillips head that sticks out perpendicular to the rest of the knife, and more than once found that position problematic and it sometimes closes when being used. The flat head as part of the bottle opener also tends to try and fold up when being used. The Opinel takes care of all those issues with the placement of the bits on the end, no folding, easier to use, way more efficient. I've not needed to use the wire stripper and cutter yet. The main blade is a good size and was quite sharp out of the box. Love Opinel knives, wish I had known about them sooner.
