Pocket Knife

[bob4432]

have carried a spyderco delica for at least 10-15yrs, not for protection, just as a utility knife and it has come in handy more times than i can count.

Some of my wife's knives...

She doesn't really need them for self protection though. People don't mess with blacksmiths too much.

I carry a leatherman skeletool. It's nice because you don't have to open it to get the blade, you can open and close the blade with just one hand.

Not as a defense weapon, but as a tool. I'd rather just take a beating than escalate things by pulling a knife out.

ditto. i have the skeletool CX. i find i use the pliers part as much as the knife, it's good to have both.

Here is what I carry

I used to carry my leatherman wave all the time with me, but frankly it was too heavy to put in my pocket (I don't use those belt holster pouches).

I've seen a couple people mention the skeletool... how would that compare to the Leatherman Wave or another one of similar size?

I have the skeletool, and it's a great tool.

I was looking at some of the other models and I decided to just list the tools I use: knife, pliers, bottle opener, and screwdriver, and try to get something without all the useless (for me, anyway) other things.

The skeletool is fairly small, you can open the blade with one hand without opening the tool first, and it fits nicely in my pocket (it has a clip, so I put it in the pocket with the clip on the outside, making it easy to get to).

From what you've said, it sounds like the perfect knife/multitool for you.

I have a SOG Aegis in digital camo, a black/satin SOG Flash I, a Spyderco Salsa and a slightly crummy CRKT Lake Bandera that I just got cheap from steepandcheap.com (if anyone wants it I would send it for the cost of shipping). I really like the assisted SOGs and their Arc-Lock system. I am thinking of getting the non-assisted but beautiful SOG Arcitech as a gentleman's folder.

I usually carry my Spyderco Centofante 3 or Delica 4. Occasionally I carry a benchmade 585 Mini Barrage
