another former "country boy" here. had a knife in my pocket since i was six. get's used pretty much every day. all of the above uses.

funny part is most of my friends don't carry a knife, but are constantly asking to borrow mine. i even try and give them one...... :/

the multitool with a (replaceable) locking blade is one of the best inventions since thumbs.

at the bare minimum i have a Leatherman Squirt (mini multitool w/ small-nonlocking blade) and a AAA 80+ lumen flashlight when i leave the house. both dangle from a small ring attached to a pocket clip that is clipped to my left front pocket. don't even know they are there.
