    I suspect that many on this board are knife nuts, like me. I have probably dozens of various types of penknives and larger folders, and I still carry those with blades under 3" sometimes, but after many years of casting around, I carry a Victorinox "Soldier" model Swiss army knife probably 95% of the time. I find that its awl, screw driver, bottle opener and handy blade, combined with REALLY stainless steel material offers the best range of utility for the things I need it for without the overkill of some of the more gee-gaw laden models. Cool knives like assisted openers, various "tactical" knives etc. are neat, and I have a few of those. I guess they would be useful if I needed a weapon, but my needs are far more prosaic and better filled by the Swiss army knife.

    Pocket: Spyderco D'Allara - ball lock, for crazy easy opening.

    Key chain: tiny Victorinox

    Wow! There's lots of other knife nuts, on a straight razor forum. Whoda thunk it?

    I recently invested in a key chain knife and torch. A Victorinox rambler with scissors, knife, file, and bottle opener. Used it a fair bit!

    My keyring tool is a Leatherman Squirt, you never know how much you need a keyring knife/tool combo until you carry one for a week.

    I'm a happy fellow. This afternoon, my Emerson CQC-7B is being moved to my left pocket.


    My right pocket is now home to the Emerson Super Karambit

    Karambit's seem quite popular at the moment.
