I get sneered at by a number of hardcore backpackers because I carry a Gerber multitool instead of a little peanut folder or a sodbuster or something, but when you need a pair of pliers or a saw, an abrasive blade, or a knife, it's hard to beat a multitool as a survival piece.
I'm happy to carry a couple more ounces to keep one on my person.
But the backpacker population is currently leaning toward superlight backpacking. So, the culture is against multitools that weigh more than a titanium thumbtack.

I put my TOPS Tom Brown Mini Tracker.
How do you like that knife?
Buy an ESSE Rat 5. Amazing knife.

That'll be a boat load of fun.
