Besides my Gerber LST I also have a Leatherman PS4 on my keychain that often comes in handy. I had a red one until I foolishly broke the pliers. Now I have blue. Along the way Leatherman replaced an awl and small screwdriver with a pair of scissors. I'm not sure which I prefer. The scissors occasionaly come in handy but the small screwdriver on my old one was critical in repairing my glasses when I was miles from civilization.
do you carry a pocketknife?

That depends on the style of the switchblade. My Gerber Covert Auto is not. A stilletto's blade is long, thin, and extremely pointed. They're intended primarily as a stabbing weapon but usually aren't so good at cutting.

Being as sock boy has blocked me from replying on his thread I will say here what I wanted to say there. A pocket knife (pen knife) is legal and is useful in my work on a daily basis
