I normally carry one of the small Swiss Army knives, I prefer a Wenger to
Victorinox, I think they stay sharper a bit longer (both are technically "Swiss
Army" knives even though the Wenger is German.) I like the Swiss because of the
scissors. They don't stay sharp good though. I finally got a ceramic sharpener
thats super easy to use. About once a week I give it a couple quick swipes and
we're good.
For Christmas my wife got me a Browning model 561 which is a single blade
folder I'm quite pleased with. Its got a removable belt thing, is lockblade
(why oh why aren't Swiss knives lock blade?) and has tabs to be one hand
opening. Its finished in a dull gray which is quite pleasing.
I've also got a Buck Metro LED which is a really nice blade in a slightly
annoying body. Super sharp and easy to keep sharp too. That knife lives in my
snowmobile coat, its easy to handle with gloves on.
