Smaller is way better. I carry a tiny red cross knife with foldup scissors, as well as a Gerber. I've pulled out the Gerber twice, and only to point out how I never pull out the Gerber anymore because tiny knife is all that's needed. Should probably stop bringing it... Those scissors on the Gerber suck, but you don't know how badly they suck until getting a knife that has good, sharp ones. The scissors were somehow sharper than the knife, with sharp points, and it turned out perfect for almost every situation. But yeah, it's satisfying to have pliers just in case. I think I used them once to get a piece of metal unstuck.
