Pocket knife.

Yeah. I’ve had a leatherman squirt on my key ring for years. It’s always in the same place, has a useful set of tools and has got me and quite a few others out of some minor scrapes

Gerber Dime for me.

Fun fact: the tool I use most often by far is the "retail package opener."

Wonderful tool. I've had mine long enough that the black finish has given way to silver fur to my keys rubbing it off

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I so want one of those!

Which of the tools in the picture is that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Darn, I knew I should've gone ahead and included this picture the first time:

[email protected] would like to know ~~your location~~ what is in your pockets

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oi, mate, do you have a loicense for that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I have a small knife on my key ring that's probably been used more than any other tool I own.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've carried many different knives, and the one I stick with now is an opinel no 8. I find that I use it more than any other one, because it's particularly well suited to food. Perfect size to cut an Apple or avocado, even a steak, and the wood handle and general look make it pretty non threatening.
