Hopefully a descriptive title.
Knives are incredibly useful tools (left mine behind when I went on holiday once and found myself reaching for it 15+ times a day, and that was holiday rather than being practical so add 10 more if normal day) so the question then becomes what knife or knives do you carry with you every day?
I have several more in my bag for various purposes, and even more if I am on a proper away mission to do a job that needs such things (my choice of stanley knife if is an old carpet fitter's one -- it is nice to be able to slide the blade in and out but this thing has a screw cap on the back and slides each half past the other to fit in the blade... solid as a rock as a result and carries a variety of blades and replacements within itself).
Generally though I carry two
One is an old rawson knife I found all rusted in a junk bin one time and cleaned up. Use it all the time for all sorts of things.
The other is a cheapy hardware shop small blade thing that is on my keys normally (was originally lime green but that flaked off). Use that when I want to slice something fine and don't have a scalpel or want to slice something that is not so good for blades to slide and don't want to have to sharpen the normal one (though I still abuse that one all the time as well).
