You haven't lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.

And then the guys look around & start geeking out over each other's knives.

I always go out with my HP 50g in case someone needs to solve a numerical integration and I'm the only one with a graphical calculator.

I used to work next to this guy. If a box came in, I would just cut the packing tape open with a house key from my pocket… unless he saw me looking like I was about to open the box.

Then I needed to wait for him to walk over with his damn leatherman and flip it to just the right thing. Whole ordeal usually added time to the stupid box opening.

This is why I daily carry a Skeletool, no scratching at nail nicks trying to get the right tool out, the blade opens like any other pocket knife, there's no "which one is it", it's one pull for a screwdriver and two pulls for the pliers. Sure the advertised "tool count" is low, it doesn't open cans, sew leather or steal cable, but I've got a knife, screwdriver and pliers on me at all times.
