I recently moved from my Benchmade Mel Pardue automatic to a SOC Twitch XL tanto. Really REALLY like it.

Oh yeah, for the tiny pocket tool, the Victorinox swiss army knives are hard to beat. I've been carry one since about that same time, although I replace it periodically with the same model as the scissors dull and things loosen. My favorite is the "Manager" model. That, the SOG, and an ITP A3 EOS mini CREE light (amazingly bright, 4 modes, and uses a AAA battery!) live in my pocket every day. Leaves me prepared for most anything.
