There are certain things I wouldn't be caught dead without, and my Victorinox Deluxe Tinker is one of them. It's amazing how often a Swiss Army Knife comes in handy, and how much you can actually use them for. I carry mine every day, and just about everywhere I go. The myriad of blades and tools they come with are very handy. I can use the larger blade for most things and keep the small blade for when a really sharp blade is needed, the scissors are awesome to have with you, the bottle and can openers are great, especially when you're in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes it's nice to have a saw. Or a nail file. Or a screwdriver. Or a toothpick. Or tweezers.
The great thing about Victorinox knives (victorinox.com) is they have a stylish look that isn't out of place in any pocket. They are also small enough to keep in a pocket but large enough to carry many useful tools, depending on the model you get.
I've carried a couple of different ones over the years, depending on my needs, and they've never let me down. I've never had an issue with opening them or having them fall apart. Victorinox also has great customer service and they carry a limited lifetime warranty against defects, and they can be sent in and repaired if necessary, although it probably won't be. They have what looks like a hundred different Swiss Army knives in many sizes and with many tools to fit anyone's needs.
They can range to something as small and simple as the Classic SD, which can fit on a key chain and comes with 6 useful tools...
... to the monstrosity of usefulness that is the SwissChamp.
Prices vary greatly depending on the model, and can be much less expensive if you go to a retailer like Wal-Mart or Cabela's. You can pick up the Classic SD for as little as $5 at your local Wal-Mart, or you could spend up to $200 for a top of the line, everything included knife.
