I'm quoting from memory right now, as I've had to leave it home today while flying.
I can't remember the exact sizes of the last two, but they've always been the right sizes for me, working in technology.
Two blades are a must - it's surprising how many times a smaller blade is useful (eg. prying the back off something with a very narrow gap).
The screwdrivers are my most commonly used/useful tools in everyday life - tighten a hinge or a handle, stuff like that.
Most of the others are occasionally useful - I've used the awl for emergency repairs on tent stitching - but the above are the ones I'd rate the most.
Just got home from my trip - here's a pic of the driver bits next to the knife. As you can see, the smallest Phillips is pretty small - I've worked on some small devices with that one.
This knife is part of my everyday carry for work and general use. When working around the house, and out camping, I also carry a Leatherman Surge.
