I carry a minimum of two knives as EDC. Leatherman Micra and Leatherman Wingman. At work I switchout the Wingman for a Blast and add a cheap pocket/clip knife for rugged stuff. That is all. What can I say... i live on the edge of town and like all things that go cut.
Good knife, but not so expensive that it would hurt my feelings if I lost it on a hike.
I usually keep something like this on me at work. I work in packaging, and the materials can be really rough on a blade. Being able to swap them out instead of constantly sharpening is helpful.
1 Week in and so far I love it. I carried a Gerber dime for about 6 months, but the blade hyper extended and it just didn't hold up. I would suggest the Leatherman Squirt, or the Skeletool as a hands down better product than anything by Gerber.
Great read! At all times, I also carry my Gerber - Curve, and/or my Leatherman - Micra. They may be small and compact, but always offer-up a multitude of uses.
Pin it!

"like all things that go cut." I have not heard that before but I like it. I'm borrowing it from you.

Thanks. Looks like my next trick will be convincing my wife that I need another knife/multitool.

I carry a Swiss Army Super Tinker. I can't tell you how many times I've used those scissors.
