Thanks for the suggestion.

Glad to have helped.

On a side note this week alone I have had three different people tell me I am the only guy they know that still carries a pocket knife anymore. Anyone else get this?

I quite often carry a pocket knife also, I have a couple of great eastern knives with stag scales. I've never been asked that but often wonder how so many people don't carry a pocket knife or multi tool.

I have never carried a multi tool , but I have never been without my pocket knife, 99 times out of a 100 it's a case or buck stockman I like the smaller size but the medium has a place in my pocket too. Tc

It may depend on where you live.
In Texas it still seems common to carry a pocket knife if the clip outside the pockets is any indication.
Keshaw Ken Onion 1620ST for me unless I'm in "nice pants"

I always have a pocket knife or two on me,,

But,,,

I don't have any nice pants,,

One brand of multi that hadn't been mentioned is the SOG. I have an older version of the PowerAssist in black, came with a nice leather pouch and has lasted 8 years.

Been carrying a leatherman on my belt since 1996 and still do everyday I wear pants.
Started with the Supertool, then moved up to the Wave as the blades opened from the outside and the tool handles were better rounded on the sides for a better grip. Then I upgraded to the Charge Titanium and a recent jumbo Surge model.

Lost a Supertool in Pigeon Lake, a Wave taken right out of my shop coat pocket and a Micra off my key chain at an impound yard. But I have never broken a leatherman. I have broken a swiss, a Gerber, and a few of the no name brands over the years.
Tim has retired, and the product struggles to maintain market in an ever cheapening world. But they are still my every day carry from a mutli tool perspective.

Gerber LST - if you get one the nice pants may follow...
And while you are waiting for them you will have a very useful knife...

And thank you for being one of those who watches out for us...
