I've been carrying the same Swiss Army knife around for about 30
years... My most used tool by far. The knives (it has two) are the least
used part of it. The magnifying "glass" is probably the most used as my
eyes age, but the tweezers, screw drivers (Phillips and slotted), bottle
openers and scissors all get used more than the knife blades... Why
would anyone carry around just a knife?

I have two SAK's ... like I say, I can't get rid of the damned things.

Besides, right tool for the job:

If I need an "all purpose" tool on site on in the shop, a SAK will not
do the job.

For my three piece suit pocket when I'm hobnobbing with office effete
elite, they work just fine .... and I can always find them.
