Murphy Brownback posted:The only people who have any business carrying them are people who are actually using it for their job where no better tools are available, or as part of an outdoors activity. Otherwise it's like hauling around your computer everywhere on the off chance someone asks you to calculate something for them. Even with real tools around, something like a Leatherman is useful for getting a job started far enough for me to see what tools I need to go get from my toolbox. I carry the full tactical dork suite of a knife, multitool, lighter, and flashlight, and they all come in handy at least a couple of times I week. It's not like I couldn't survive without them, but it saves a hell of a lot of walking around the house to get basic tools. Carrying around something like a Swisschamp while not camping would be dumb, but an ordinary sized pocket knife is not cumbersome to carry at all for how handy it is.

i used to carry a pocket knife around but then got paranoid that all the resin left on it from scraping out my bong was gonna be what they call in the biz a "tell"

Things I've used my knife for in the past few months: Eating lunch Cutting lines Mending a bench Mending eisenglass Opening misc stuff Poking a big bug Feeding a depressed honey bee Flashlight attachment Scraping rust/gunk off something before repairs Sharpening pencils Fixing a number clicker Probably some other stuff. Not working in an office is nice.

I found an old pocketknife keychain thing and put it on my work keys last week. It has already come in handy for a) cutting medical tape because the dispenser sucks and can't cut the tape and b) a makeshift screwdriver. The blade is like an inch long and I doubt you could kill anything with it. Maybe a frog but im not going to stab a frog

Wulfolme posted:I carry a boxcutter at work and I can pull it out, cut open the box without cutting too deep and damaging the contents, and stow the cutter back in my pocket with my eyes closed all the while. I cut my hand much less than half of the times that I perform this. I think I cut my hand more often when I'm looking at what I'm doing. I haven't actually worked at the warehouse in years but whenever I go there to check something out (like "does this box that's been sitting here for a week contain the very urgent stuff I ordered last month?") I just take my key, score the the tape with it, and viola I can open the box pretty darn easily! I guess I could do it with my eyes closed but then I'd have to open them anyway to see what was inside said box. e: I mean back when I worked there I did carry a knife (at work) but now I wish I hadn't because I could've done without it and it also kept falling out of my pocket all the time.

Im not talking about using it like a crowbar, but the prying motion is available with a knife when it is not with with a razor. But yes, using a knife for realsies can wear out a knife

'what was his name' is an ancient stock line for a reason, it is still funny, please apologize to that man for comparing him to a chinese stainless steel knife also im sad my picture did not get any discussion going about how 20 dollar factory steel from sweden is significantly better than even a 50 dollar switchblade from chinese stainless steel i was hoping at least even one of the leatherman guys would ask me 'wat the fuk is that sheath!!' then i'd explain the uses of birch bark, specifically betula papyrifera i'm losing strength..i can't...make people...stop buying stuff ..from chiner..

Listen up, spittoons. Quality is better than quantity here. Don't collect a bunch of lipstick red Chinese knives plastered with dragons and quasi-martial arts imagery.* Get yourself at least one heirloom quality Case USA  knife and then, if you still want them (you won't) load up on the commoditized truck stop garbage knives. Ask Schrade owners what they think about product quality since the NY plant closed down in 2004. There is no comparison.* to be fair, you can get a Case knife plastered with just about anything, including Johnny Cash. However, I believe he's cooler than a dragon and has higher resale value.

Murphy Brownback posted:The problem is actually that a bunch of stereotypical goons who sit in front of a computer at an office job all day are play-acting at being a manly man who needs tools at the ready 24/7 "just in case", jumping at every opportunity to bust it out. Like the type of person seeing you about to open a box with scissors and jumps up and says "WAIT! use this instead!" and then posts on the internet about how they "need" it every day. All the examples people are coming up with like opening boxes, tightening chair screws (as if that's something you have to do, like, ever), cutting an apple...all of those things you can do very easily with tools that are almost certainly laying around somewhere at any typical office/whatever without needing a 500 tools in 1 device. So you work from home?
