Growing up we all carried Boy Scout knives on us at all times, school or no. There was always the odd rich kid with the giant bulge in his pocket. They'd have the fat, almost useless Swiss Army knife. (You couldn't throw the later at tree stumps in any convincing way, so not very practical)

Nowadays I keep a little CRKT knife on me at all times, Leatherman when I'm working, and a big Uncle Henry SHRADE when hunting and or camping. The little CRKT gets the most action doing things like opening packages of other tools or hardware, batteries, or the occasional prepackaged food item. It's also useful for making a little air hole on the other side of the drink hole in your general store to-go coffee.
