Do you (non-preppers) regularly carry a pocket knife/tool?
Discussion
Following the "Go Bag" thread, it got me wondering about whether or not people carry a typically more useful pocket knife or multi-tool with them?
I often have my Leatherman with me and it comes in useful for all kinds of things.
At my work desk I have a Swiss Army Knife "camping" which is also very useful.
When out and about camping/in the outdoors or just abroad an Opinel No.8 is handy. Not really an urban UK pocket knife.
Around the house, garage and garden my Mora Viking has been used for just about any cutting task, but again, not something to carry about with you in the UK.

Remind me what the rules are on carrying a knife in the UK is again?
Non-lockable blade, less than 3.5 inches long. Unless deemed 'offensive weapon' in which case not allowed. Police/courts judgement on that. Most farmers wouldnt be able to do their job without a pocket knife, and I dont know anyone whos had any trouble carrying one, despite most having lockable blades.
I generally carry a 4' long sword with me.
I had small knives when I was a kid for doing 'outdoors stuff' (no computers, mobile phones back then, it was all about making dens, riding bikes and stuff), when I left school and did a practical job I carried a Victorinox Swiss Army and still do now, only in my work clothes though, never at any other times.
Earlier this year I sprained the locking mechanism on the locking blade cutting back some ivy and the blade won't go back properly, if anyone knows where/who to get this fixed I would appreciate it.
