Comparing
Scissors on EDC Pocket Tools
Comparing
scissors on a few EDC (Every Day Carry)
pocket tools; the Gerber Shortcut,
Leatherman Micra,
Victorinox Huntsman,
Victorinox Executive and the
Victorinox Classic SD. These tools all offer scissors. If I were packing a first
aid kit for a car or truck, I would include
a pair of EMT scissors. But for everyday
pocket carry or smaller first aid kits
and survival kits these options might do
well. Scissors in the Swiss Army Knives
are very sharp and well made but will not
cut through denim or other thick materials.
The larger scissors on the Gerber Shortcut
and Leatherman Micra is large enough to
cut through many thicker materials


When closed, these pocket
tools take up a varied amount of space
in the pocket.
