I literally use mine ten times a day at least. It's only probably the most useful tool mankind has ever created, but yeah what in the world are you going to use it for?

I am currently carrying a Kershaw 1605 CKTST. I have about 4 different ones though. I've thought about getting some of the really nice ones out there but I can't imagine losing it.

^these two have soft, supple hands and would be in trouble at the first sign of a power outage, much less a clogged toilet (not that you have to worry about that on a vegan diet).

Says the bartender/murse. Self-awareness isn't your strong point, is it?

FWIW, I do own multiple pocketknife/multi-tool gadgets, and I always take one with me if I go on a long hike. But on a day-to-day basis, I see no need to carry one around.

Also FWIW, if we have a power outage, my place is where it's at, because I have a nice collection of LED flashlights. Now THOSE things are something a guy can't live without.

I've been carrying that same knife, or the solid blade version, for the last 15+ years. It's light, cheap and holds an edge good enough.

Downside is it's a change collector and brings about 35 cents wedged in it up sometimes when you grab it out of the pocket.
Yep. It's all around good.

I'm a Paddock Poster. I do no change!!!

I keep a Spyderco Bug on my keychain for general use - perfect for opening boxes, etc. at work, mail, and other small household uses.

I also have a collection of "general purpose" pocket knives that I randomly grab and carry in a pocket. My Kershaw OSO Sweet is the normal everyday carry knife, but I have quite a few Chinese knives from Ganzo, Sanrenmu, and Harnds that make great carry knives because of their price. All are well made, many are clones of popular knife brands/styles, and they are cheap enough that if I lose one, I really don't feel concerned. (I also order them direct off AliExpress or from companies like Gearbest - cheaper than Amazon, if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks for them to ship from China)

There is a good thread (a couple, actually) on budget knives on the Budget Light Forum website that covers many of the models and styles : http://budgetlightforum.com/node/37766

(That site is also a great resource for finding relatively inexpensive, well made flashlights. Can get addicting tho)

I don't consider it a pocket knife, but the Schrade my father had will still shave the hair from you.

The Paddock is a fun place to tease out everyone's "other" forums, and as far as I'm concerned "Budget Flashlight Forum" is the most oddly specific I've heard of so far.

(This is not a knock, all men love "gear," we all just have different interests.)

BTW if you open a letter with anything other than this kind of opener, you are a "galoot" of the highest order whom is looked down upon by your peers (if you know it or not).

Considering how I like flashlights so much and how many I own (I'm scared of the dark, I like lights of all sorts), discovering a forum called the "Budget Flashlight Forum" sounds like a slippery slope to me.

What are the odds that the op wears tap out tshirts? Affliction? Got a couple tribal tattoos? He must be so manly. I bet all the girls drop their panties when he walks by. Check out my pocket knife with the skull on it bitches.

Have always carried a Leatherman. Have used the Wave for about ten years now. It's foolish for any adult of either sex to not carry a multi tool IMO. From sawing through those ridiculous plastic packagings every piece of electronics come in, to fixing a broken zipper with the pliers to whatever they save time and take up little space.

I don't carry anything I don't need, and I rarely need a knife away from home. And if I ever do, there's always plenty of knife dipshits looking for a reason to use and justify carrying theirs.
But it would fit so nicely in your purse.

Yeah, that's what I need. Then I could carry all sorts of crap I don't need.

Now go out back and whittle yourself a nice big phallus. Don't forget to pick out the splinters when you're done.
