WTF Does Your Pocketknife Look Like RFN?

[SteveDallas]

I had a squirt for some time, until I left it out after I used it to slice open the wrapper for a printer cartridge. By the time I realized it was gone and went back, it had found a new home. I haven't gotten around to replacing it, though I'd like to. I need the scissors far more often than I need a pair of pliers. (And I can't be the only one--why don't more multitools come with scissors?) I do have a Leatherman Supertool (double entendres much?) but it stays at home--too bulky to carry around all the time.

I like those multitools like Stress and LJ showed. I used to have one...I had more tools in my purse than girlie things.

I need to find it...they're cool, and handy.

I wish I could take a pic of my dad's knife box. We call it Dad's Killin' Box and it is his collection of, well, collectible knives...pocket and otherwise.

I have a Swisstech Utilikey, which is very easy to carry along with my keys, but sometimes a little awkward to use. The added bonus is that I forget it's there, and it's gone through security a handful of times because it looks just like a key. The most useful feature is the small phillips head screwdriver. It's perfect for the battery compartment for kids' toys.

A year or two ago, I got the Leatherman Squirt e4, which has the insulation strippers/micro pliers/ wire cutters in the fold out part. Small, and fits on the keychain. It's much easier to use the blade on the squirt, so the utili-key doesn't get much use any more.

OMG, keychain Leatherman with wire stripping: that is exactly what I've always wanted but didn't know it existed!!! Thanks g... now I have to figure out who to demand this from for Xmas.

if only it had a USB 4G flash drive worked into it.

I thought you were being a genius until Pete showed me this:

Wow, I might get the Utili-Key just for the eyeglass screwdriver.

Actually, I ended up filing down the glasses screwdriver to get rid of it. It was the only part of the utili-key that would stick out when it was folded up, and it would constantly snag on the fabric of my pocket.

I carry the small knife, scissors (plugged into a cork) and folding nail file on a daily basis.

There is a multi-tool at the office, but hardly gets any use.

The big un gets no use at all.

My Swiss Army pocket knife.

The story is documented elsewhere, but notice the slight speckling of indentations toward the top. That's from about 20 minutes worth of darlet#1 teething on it many years ago.

My brother's pocket knife which now lives in my knitting bag, which goes with me most places.

Is that larger folder a Schrade Uncle Henry? I've got one of those in my glovebox.

It is just a cheap Chinese no name. - It says STAINLESS CHINA on the blade, but I'm convinced it is made of steel

The other thing that I don't carry with me but I use all the damn time is my seam ripper. This one isn't mine, but you get the idea:
