I have a Benchmade with a black tactilol paint job and a partially serrated edge. I bartered for it when I worked 3rds at a gas station in my 20s. I used to carry it for putting away trucks, and never stopped carrying it, and I'm a computer janitor now. I am That Guy.

I have a bunch of Victorinox knives. Got some as a small kid, continuously cut myself with them while playing, got them taken away. Later found them and snuck them back, eventually got a Swisschamp for Christmas. Used them to build model planes and for tinkering. Still have them.

Victorinox replaces broken parts for free, and refurbished a whole collection (including sticky latex paint in the folds) for a few EUR per knife.


Yeah it's dorky and it's not useful very much, but for what they do they're pretty cool. And they're adorable. I like miniature stuff and mini versions of things, so they tick a couple of my geek boxes.


I sometimes wish I had more use for them so that I could justify buying one again. Maybe I'll at some point have a kid to whom I can gift it.

swiss army knives are cool when you are a kid and doing kid stuff while you are camping etc. of course you are going to be disappointed if you approach them as an adult engineer

My knife-carry phase was around the age of 12, I had a decent little old folding knife that I never used for anything at all except to get in big trouuuuble when it fell out of my pocket during Christmas at grandmas. My uncle Ryan picked it up and said "Rambo here brought the gift of steel!"

I didn't know that there were adults that didn't keep pocket knives with them until I started posting on SA because I don't know anyone in real life who doesn't, and I feel sorry for anyone that didn't have a cool old pocket knife passed down to them from their grandpa.



E: In case it's unclear, that's not the knife that my grandpa gave me. I don't know what the gently caress that thing is.

That actually looks cool as poo poo, I can definitely imagine carrying one of them at work, got the adjustable wrench, decent screwdriver selection, knife. Anyone else know any tools like this with the wrench?

SA is where i found out that there are people who carry knives around on them all day without having any reason to do so and most of the knives ive seen people post about on these forums were not passed down from any grandpa because they were obviously made in the last ten years and have ridiculous names that include the word "tactical"

also i used to work shipping and receiving, opening/cutting up boxes with a knife was part of my job every day and i still didnt carry one around on me when i wasnt at work because... why would i?

But how will you dispatch a brigand who may accost you on the highway? Without a trusty blade you will be left defenseless as the blackguard takes your wife and your hard earned money!

Alternatively, having a cheap piece of metal ensures that you are a free-man and not a slave like the rest of the sheeple :smugbert:

I crouch in the shadows by the door to the post office, waiting patiently. A female walks out with a securely taped package in her hands. I pull out my one-handed SVDAus263.5 steel knife and flick it open as I run up to her.

"I'VE GOT A KNIFE!", I shriek helpfully.

Is that some kind of joke or can you really buy this? I guess, even if you can buy this, it's still kind of a joke, but I guess some people buy (and maybe produce this) while sounding all serious.

I used to have a carabiner that I carried my keys on that had a tiny Swiss Army-style knife blade that folded out. Was super-useful since it was basically always within reach, since keys/wallet are basically the 2 things you do actually carry everywhere all the time.

Sadly I had one too many incidents of "forgot it exists and security is giving me poo poo," I ended up just tossing it at one concert to avoid waiting in the 20-minute security line again.

Upsides of carrying a cheapass multi-tool:
I always have a flathead and Philips screwdriver. Don’t know why so much poo poo still uses flatheads, they strip like nothing else, but eh.
Pliers and scissors are always useful. And they are always being used by someone else.
I can pry poo poo with the blade. gently caress it, if it breaks, it’s just a cheap multi-tool.
There’s like 5 people at any given time borrowing tools from work, so actually having the right tool for the job is impossible anyways.

Downsides:
Whenever some dude sees I have a multi-tool and wants to show me his “blade”. Inevitably it’s serrated, black and looks like it was meant to kill somebody.

Usually in a bar. Carrying a knife in a bar is asking for trouble imo :wtc:

Edit: writing this made me realize that basically all of my reasons for carrying a multi-tool boil down to my workplace being a gigantic mess. I’m not even supposed to be fixing stuff but it’s always broken.
