I like to carry a small, thin knife for every day use. *I also

I have been using a key chain knife for some time. I can't live
without it, and sometimes
it opens in my pocket. Perhaps one that does not open like a
switchblade
would be better. I have sharpened it maybe once or twice after several
years.
