I've been carrying a Leatherman Style CS scissor-oriented multi-tool as an every day item and finally got around to ordering the smaller Style model to use with a pocket survival tool kit.
Style vs Victorinox Classic: the Style weighs 0.82oz/23.3g; the Classic weighs 0.74oz/21.1g. The Style is thicker and slimmer. The knife blade on the Style is noticeably thicker and deeper than the Classic; it is made of 420HC stainless steel. The scissors are similar size; the Style scissors have a captive torsion spring that is stiffer and there is a thicker thumb pad on the scissor lever; the Classic scissors are a bit easier to deploy. The Style has a tweezer that is nearly invisible when stowed; the Classic has a tweezer and a toothpick.
Summation: the Style is a more robust tool and the design will probably hold up better for every day use and pocket wear, where the scales on the Classic are easily scratched. The Classic is more comfortable in the hand and the tools are easier to deploy. IMHO, the steel in the Style knife blade is better quality and doesn't feel as fragile as the Classic. Overall, I would choose the Style for heavier tasks and a knife-oriented tool. The Classic is a smidgen lighter and I like the handle/scissor orientation. I do use the toothpick too.
