      I always have a knife on me at work. 9 hours a day 5 days a week for over 20 years. So naturally i also carry a knife when i don’t work. I’m so used to having a knife and there isn’t a reason to not carry one imo

      that would be called a victorinox

      'eyyooo!

      but nah they’re great.

      i just wish they had more edge retention than a toblerone

      'eyyooo!

      no but seriously a swiss army knife is a very useful pocket thing

      Mine has a permanent place on my coffee table, but I rarely carry it with me, and haven’t felt I needed to. It mostly get used for opening packages.

      This legit sounds like a job for Simone Giertz. She made a fricken ring into a screwdriver, surely she can make a knife tipped with a screwdriver! I guess you’d need two though, one for phillips and one for flat.

      Lookup the Kershaw Select Fire. Primary Knife, but fits normal screwdriver bits.

        Yeah, I don’t really think of those as pocket tools because they can be a little big and heavy trying to pack as many tools in there as possible. A Swiss Army knife is just about all I ever really need in terms of spontaneous tool requirements. Flathead, corkscrew, bottle opener, knife, scissors, toothpick. Perfection.

      Ironically, someone carrying a pocket knife is way less weird to me than the idea of someone carrying a screwdriver.

        I always carry a screwdriver/ratchetdriver with a bunch of bits. Sometimes I fix peoples glasses, other times loose doorhandles. Also a small prybar sharp enough to replace a knife in most scenarios.

            But it would be very useful. I think weird would be if you carry around a T27 torx screwdriver. Very oddly specific

              Even weirder, carry around one of those two-point security drivers that I’ve only ever seen used to remove the doors from toilet stalls (during a renovation!)
