So you’re going to be marooned on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. You can only take ONE thing with you.
What is it? Easy-peasy.
Swiss Army Champ XXL:


Hahaha. Just kidding. There’s way too much stuff on the XXL that you’ll never need, and all that makes it damn heavy and cumbersome.
The “ordinary” Champ will do just fine.


(As I recall, I have about three of the things scattered around the place: bedside drawer, toolbox and SHTF grab-‘n-go bag. Oh wait, there’s another one in the kitchen “junk” drawer too, so: four)
My only “improvement” would be to exchange the red plastic grips for grooved aluminum (which they make for the Mini-Champ and others, but inexplicably do not offer with the larger Champ models).

Feel free to argue with my choice in Comments.
