Emerson EDC-2 vs. SAKs

[admin]

I’ve been carrying a SAK every day for more than 10 years – usually Yeoman, Compact or Alox Soldier. But after seeing Emerson EDC-2 I’m tempted to get that to replace my SAK as EDC. Without having handled an EDC-2, I can see the following pros and cons compared to a SAK:

Cons:
– longer
– heavier

Pros:
– the blade and all tools lock
– drivers lock into 90 degree position
– bigger blade
– a really good selection of tools for my needs

I’d still carry a Minichamp, so I’d still have scissors and tweezers on me.

Anyone of you who has been EDCing EDC-2, how would you compare it to a SAK? Is it worth the price? Having used to Swiss quality, will I be disappointed?

Thanks for all the opinions in advance.
