What's your Pocket Knife?

Just another random-uestion-type thread.

I have a Leatherman Juice S2. It’s a nifty little all-purpose tool, great for around-the-house stuff. Before the juice I had a micra, which was small enough to fit on a keychain but not nearly as durable.

What about the rest of you Dopers?

Great minds, and all that. An S2 rides on my left hip at all times. Well, not all times…when I have to wear a suit, I drop a Swiss Army Knife (Tinker) into my pants pocket.

Eleven-year-old Victorinox Spartan SAK (it’s the oldest thing I own!).

I’m trading it in for a SwissFlame soon though.

I just have a little bitty thing with a small blade, a mini file and a pair of scissors. It’s a Microsoft freebie. It and several others were left over from a mass mailing my sister worked on. She sort of kept them and a bunch of leftover Microsoft T-shirts from collecting dust in their warehouse. Sort of.

Actually, it isn’t a Spartan. I have no idea what it is- Victorinox doesn’t have a knife with this combination anywhere on their current products page, and Pops brought it back from Switzerland years ago and hasn’t got a clue what it was called.

Can anyone identify it? Large blade, small blade, bottle opener with notch, can opener with flathead screwdriver, corkscrew (without the plug-in phillips head screwdriver) and the leather punch thingy. And a keyring, of course. It’s the full size kind, but it’s quite narrow thanks to the lack of screwdrivers and so forth. Definitely a Victorinox, not a Wenger.

RNATB, that very same knife is sitting before me on my computer desk! I *think * it was called the Climber…I think. :smiley:

I’ve got a similiar one to Tikki’s only mine’s a really cool looking stainless steel one my gf got me for my bday last year. I keep it on my keychain and it comes in useful all the time. Especially at the hospital where I wish I could say I use it for emergency tracheotomies and the like but instead use it to open boxes of IV fluids.

(sidebar: I spelled tracheotomy right on the first try! Go me!)

A basic original Leatherman PST. It’s not really appropriate to wear in an office setting, though. I keep meaning to get a Micra or similar for the desk drawer.

Schrade Old Timer 3-blade. I used to carry a Victorinox Swiss Army knife from Switzerland (gift from my mother) before I got my OT back.

Good knife, and handy.

Post #999…now, to figure out what the big 1-0-0-0 will be.

I have an Angler Swiss Army knife I got in Switzerland, mainly cos I really liked the fish. I also have the classic knife. Then I have a leatherman tool that I use less often. I want one of the knives with a usb drive in it. Man that’s cool!

A Victorinox Swisstool stays in my right front pocket when I’m at work, in my Briefcase when I’m not.
I got the Swisstool on sale (they weren’t selling because you have to have big hands to use one, it fits me perfectly).

I carry a Spyderco Delica with a half-serrated blade. I can’t abide carrying fat multi-tools in a pocket, though I do have a smallish Victorianox with a saw that goes into the backpack when camping.

A Leatherman Pulse and assorted other small pocket knives I keep around because they have one or two really good tools on them.

Although I’ve been given newer and flashier pocket knives, the one I still carry is my old Boy Scout knife, kept well-honed.

I have a leatherman juice CS4 that lives in my studio and gets a pretty good work out. I have a Swiss Army Classic - the baby with the scissors and not much else, that lives on my keychain and I wouldn’t be comfortable not having with me.

I have a Swiss Army Knife, the Camper model. My husband bought it for me when we starting dating, 14 years ago.
I don’t carry it around with me anymore, but I do use it when we go camping.

Victorinox Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker.

The best compromise between tools & size.

Never buy a Wenger. The blades fold up on you when you’re using them.

I have a collection of knives. Until recently I just used my little three-blade Victorinox “gentleman’s knife” on my vehicle keychain. My remote control fob stopped working, so I’m using the other fob; and I can’t be arsed to take the little knife of the first one.

So I’ve been putting my Victorinox Champion in my pocket. I got it as a birthday present in 1981.

I’ve had this Kershaw folding knife for nearly a decade. I’ve lost it, sent it back for repairs, drove over it, found after losing it over a dock at high tide, and still the longest I went without it was when I left it in a ski lodge, and a buddy who knew me…picked it up and sent it back. That’s a Vermonter for you.
I love that little knife.

And anytime I recieve a knife for a present I always give the person who gave it to me a dollar. Yes, I am irrationally superstitous.

A Buck 110. I bought the first one for work and kept in its belt sheath during work, in my pocket otherwise. Bought a second one when I broke the tip off the first. After a friend repointed that one, the second stays in my pocket. Now I have a work knife and a dress knife. They must be about thirty years old by now.
