Let's dismiss that analogy first. I personally carry two knives. One to "cut" things, mostly when one hand is occupied. The other is my continual companion for the last 40 yrs. I have evolved to this particular variation. I like the scissor and Phillips screwdriver (only available on a couple models). They make many models to suit about anyone but they can get overly wide too. This one is just right. I chose the luminescent glow-in the dark version that is very handy if you drop it at night. The only tool I have not used is that strange looking hook thing. I have no idea what it is. Perhaps a James Bond escape down a taught wire. I anticipate the opportunity one day. Note: I broke the tip off the big blade, this is easy to do. Use the screw drivers, (3) on there, rather than the blade tip.

I think the Victornox is called the "Super Tinker" which is very fitting for me. The Kershaw ("Fat-Back")was actually purchased for a business trip where I could not take a firearm. The blade is needle pointed for piercing deeply and the straight long edge is easy to sharpen to a razor edge. I mostly cut rope, zip-ties, box tape etc. It clips in my right front pocket and can be instantly flipped open with it's spring assist. I do consider it an alternative defensive weapon. The Swiss is down deep in the left front for fixing something.

I'd feel vulnerable and naked without at least one on me. What's good for me may not be best for you.
