Pocket knife.

Yeah. I’ve had a leatherman squirt on my key ring for years. It’s always in the same place, has a useful set of tools and has got me and quite a few others out of some minor scrapes

Gerber Dime for me.

Fun fact: the tool I use most often by far is the "retail package opener."

[–] Scrath@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Wonderful tool. I've had mine long enough that the black finish has given way to silver fur to my keys rubbing it off

[–] jimp@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I so want one of those!

Which of the tools in the picture is that?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Darn, I knew I should've gone ahead and included this picture the first time:

!edc@sopuli.xyz would like to know ~~your location~~ what is in your pockets

[–] Buffaloaf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I have a small knife on my key ring that's probably been used more than any other tool I own.

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oi, mate, do you have a loicense for that?

[–] constantokra@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I've carried many different knives, and the one I stick with now is an opinel no 8. I find that I use it more than any other one, because it's particularly well suited to food. Perfect size to cut an Apple or avocado, even a steak, and the wood handle and general look make it pretty non threatening.
