I usually carry a leatherman but the sheath is starting to rip at the belt loop so I need to get another sheath.
Dye Guardian Thanks this. -

Every vehicle gets a board knife with a few spare blades, a medium sized screw driver, vise grips and a claw hammer!! All in the cab, accessible from the drivers seat!!
My wife keeps the claw hammer under her front seat!!
I usually carry a Buck 110 lock back on my belt, was my wedding present, from my wife. Sometimes I'll carry one of my grandfathers old knives, depends where I'm going, I don't like to carry much, keep it light and keep it simple.
Those folding utility blade knifes are pretty good deals. I have carried one, nice to have a razors edge and just change it when needed.
And I have one of those pull thru things with the carbides in it for sharpening, works great and way easier than a stone, which we still have several, somewhere on a shelf collecting dust!TripleSix, 4mer trucker and Dye Guardian Thank this. -
I use knives all the time. Prying off the back cover on something, cutting insulation off a wire to make a new connection, cutting open a package, even use them as a flathead screw driver from time to time if the situation calls for it. The list goes on and on.
Yet apparently in some places they see any knife at any time as a weapon, it can't been anything else only a weapon. Oh no why would you need that? Why would you need a weapon? Arrest him or her! Hide your children! Run!!!
Knives are dangerous, don't you know?Last edited: Aug 22, 2016

And why every vehicle gets the medium sized screw driver! and claw hammer!
Both just tools, anywhere you go, until you need to implant one into someone!
Then they are Multipurpose Tools!!Ruthless, Chewy352 and Dye Guardian Thank this. -
@MJ1657,
Here's what I use on my blade, with a few drops of oil on the fine side of the stone.
Whether that's right or wrong is for someone more knowledgeable than I to judge, but it seems to work fairly well.
Dye Guardian Thanks this. -
Not something I could say I can shave with, but it's a good edge. Cuts bands and shrink wrap like warm butter.
TripleSix and Dye Guardian Thank this. -
MACK E-6, 4mer trucker and Ruthless Thank this.
