A Benchmade of some unknown model most days,however, if I opt to go smaller and sleeker, a little skeletonized Beretta. However, I decided I dont like the skeletonized part. Say for example the wife makes a pan of peanut butter rice krispie bars with chocolate on top . Just hypothetically now, you cut them with the skeletonized blade and you get all kinds of chocolate gunk in the orifices. Not good. Plus, and not to be minimized, you lose out on said chocolate as it is no longer on your bar.
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

While we were far from roads end, I watched my buddy take a chain saw apart and repair it with a pair of pliars and a Swiss army knife. So, I just had to have one. I've carried one so long now that I get nervous when I don't have one in my pocket. I have a drawer full of knives, folding hunters and pocket, but I always keep a replacement (NIB) Swiss in there too.
Aim for the exit hole.

A Case, "Texas Toothpick" resides in my pocket. In the instances I have to fly - and leave the knife behind - I feel half-naked. That little knife has done a lot of chores over the years.

Like croldfort, I have a Fjallkniven U2 (although I sometimes carry a Swiss army knife if there is chance that I may need to open a wine bottle! The U2 is the most amazing knife at keeping an edge (and I have knives in S30V, D2 and several other "high tech" steels). The U2 blade is laminated (which you can see in the picture above if I did this correctly), with the centre lamination being "super gold powder steel" -- whatever that is! All I can say is that mine has cut what must be several kilometers of cardboard box material and reinforced package tape and it is still scary sharp. No chipping of the blade -- in spite of some emergency prying and using the blade tip as a Philips screwdriver! When this knife eventually gets dull, I am sure that I will have to break out the diamond hones to sharpen it because this steel is harder than woodpecker lips! John

A Spyderco Police Model(non-serrated), I lay a steel to it each morning, whether it needs it or not,and it's scary sharp whenever I need it. Carried it for over 15 years now.

Camillus Stockman, since 1950. Just as good today as it was then, other than the stag scales are worn smooth. I would not be without it.

Victorinox Officer Suisse that my former employer gave me for service. Before that I carried a Camilus U.S. Army all stainless "Swiss Army Type". Lost it somewhere, I think, in the house. Both are real good knives and very useful.

A large single blade Victorinox for general work, a very early production Leatherman tool that I have carried for a very long time for the more specilised tasks and a Spiderco Native that for that comforting feeling when the situation is going downhill. I have carried this combination in Africa and Papua New Guinea and have never had need for anything else. Oh except for a bush knife (machette0 when I was in PNG.

I have an automatic knife (Benchmade pictured below), also known as a "switch blade," with a nice pocket clip, but hardly ever carry it even though I'm authorized to do so in Florida. I'm always afraid I'm going to cross the state line and forget to leave it at home. Incredibly, most states take a very dim view of these things and you can serve real jail time just for owning one, let alone carrying one.
