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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
