http://www.sakwiki.com/ is great for figuring out what model is what and has photos of all of the tool variations. The strange tool on your sounds like a marlinspike.

Despite having way, way too many pocket knives already, this thread got me thinking about Victorinox again and I ended up purchasing this dumb thing. It'll ride around in my pocket until something else shiny distracts me in a few weeks. The materials that go into one of these are nothing special, but Victorinox knives are solidly built and have the quality control consistency of a knife several times the price. Every one I've ever purchased has had even and symmetrical edge grinds (something that isn't always true even on $300+ folders) and all of the parts fit together perfectly. Whatever variety of stainless steel they are using is pretty soft as far as blade steels go, and won't hold an edge for an especially long time. This is a big downside if you aren't willing to put in any maintenance, but the softness also means it's fast and easy to resharpen. It takes me about a dozen passes on a fine whetstone to get a dull Victorinox back to being sharp enough to shave arm hairs with no pressure.

The best multitool scissors I've encountered are on the Leatherman Micra and Style CS, because they are made with the scissors as the main, central tool. They're still pretty small and fiddly, and you might be better off just getting some plain folding scissors. I used to consider scissors an essential part of a multitool for stuff like trimming nails/hangnails, but then I realized that I can do that with a small pen blade. On a Victorinox, it feels wrong to have such a fragile and situational implement on a tool that is otherwise built well enough to probably last a lifetime.

A lot of models also have a tiny hole under the corkscrew/screwdriver area for carrying a straight pin. Now you can reset routers wherever you go!
