I like to be precise and I like to know what is being talked about ☺️. Visuals help.
I've edited my earlier post #35 and I am confident that the scale is pretty accurate now: the Gerber Dime Travel versus the Victorinox SD with the 3,5 (4) cm...
I think that you did not mention whether you have two separate tickets or one ticket for your flight from Sweden to France, i.e. two separate airlines or one airline/airlines who cooperate. If it is the second case, then you will not have to pick...
Apologies for the amount of comments I made. Instead of delivering yet another anecdote I was just thinking about the OP's case and implications that are relevant. And sort of thinking out loud, i.e. posting. :cool:

And since not everybody clicks on links: This is an official French government website (hint: it ends in gouv.fr). It is available in EN and FR. For knives (Bladed weapons and items that could injure/cause damage) it describes what is not allowed...
NO! In some European countries, and in particular at Madrid, security personnel will confiscate any multi-tool, no matter how small. Over the past five or six years, I have lost THREE tiny Gerber pocket multi-tools with NO CUTTING BLADE.
