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

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.

My Leatherman Squirt P4 will disagree with you. And that I need a keychain tool not a pocket tool. The SAK is too chunky in width to pocket carry comfortably for me.

They discontinued the squirt line which sucks though.
