A victorinox pocket knife! Really comes in handy for many purposes

I ended up buying an aftermarket belt clip that screws into the Swiss Army knife on Amazon. Best purchase ever. Always on me and used daily for random stuff.

Take my money!

I've carried a SAK for years. I now also have a cheap benchmade knockoff with pocket clip and flipper. So easy to pull out and open that I almost never use my SAK. Hopefully a pocket clip will change that.

Love this idea, thanks. (I know you bought a belt clip and I'm going to buy a pocket clip but you gave me the idea).

totally agree in principle. my edc of choice has been the Leatherman skeletool for the last 5 years. pliers, Phillips and flat head and blade have been the perfect combination to balance portability and utility

I also carry a Skeletool. I've had it for ~10 years now. I love that thing. It's the best designed multi-tool I've ever had.
