The Victorinox swiss army knife is simply the best pocket tool! (Edit: no one tool is everyone's best)

@edc

The more I look at alternatives, the more I realize, nothing can give you this much functionality in this small a package, while being so high quality and reasonably priced. Popular (machine-assembled) versions regularly go for $25.

The one caveat is that it falls behind modern knives in terms of safety and ease for opening/closing. I'd love to see a next-gen SAK without nail nicks.

@yojimbo Yes, the 91/58mm Victorinoxes are uniquely non-threatening and that's valuable. I assume no matter what they do, that style will always be available.

The idea that knives aren't allowed AT ALL in many places is asinine to me. I can understand courthouses, and blade length restrictions for some govt buildings, but entire university campuses? Hilarious! My SAK comes in handy on campus sometimes.
