    Swiss Army Champion, what else?

    Scrade
    I have one of their $10 plastic knife that has served me for 10 years - not bad, a dollar a year.

    I don't have a multitool yet, but I plan on buying a Leatherman if/when I find one I want. I want a relatively small one made specifically for fishing.
    In my vehicles I always have all the basic tools that a multi-tool would offer so it'd be kind of redundant.

    Kershaw Black Colt.

    Swiss Army Knife, don't know the model, but, it has a 3" blade that locks. I have a leatherman that was a gift and I take it to auctions sometimes just in case I need to take something apart.

    My pocket knife is a Swiss Buck, made for Buck by Wenger, the other Swiss Army Knife company. My pocket tool is the SOG Power Plier that I got years back at a gun show from Dongizmo. I take the SOG on every hunting trip, took it whitewater rafting, take it bike riding, it is just the handiest thing to carry.

    Victorinox- the "real swiss army knife", I think it is a Huntsman, only about half as big as the champion, has everything I usually need, but doesn't pull my pants down.

    I carry a Buck pocket knife everyday. I have a Leatherman Super Tool that I use at work almost everyday. I've had the Leatherman for about 6 years and have no complaints,it takes all the abuse I can dish out.

    Someday when I'm cool I'll have a .50

    Always carry my trusty Benchmade auto knife, until they take it away that is.

    I measured it and cut it twice, and it's still too short!

    The top three are my regular using knives and multi-tool. They are Benchmade Griptilian, Leatherman Micra, and at the top a Spyderco burgundy micarta Jester. I field dressed 3 deer with the Benchmade last fall and it would still shave!!! The bottom two are my all time favorite vintage Case small stockman pattern with chrome vanadium steel blades and bone scales. The left is a 6327 and the right is a 6333. I consider these the cadillac of small carry knives.

    For someone posting pictures of customs all the time...I use some moderately priced but quality knives. The customs are mostly for collecting and resale.

    I have a Swiss Army knife that I carry around. It's the real big one that has everything on it. It says Officer Suisse on the blade. It's like having a mini-tool box in your pocket.

    I don't think I could have survived in Iraq without my Leatherman 200 multi tool. Then when we came across a box of Gerbers someone had lost in shipment, I carried one of them as well.

    Note: The Leatherman 200 Multi-tool while a very versitile tool wil NOT prevent electric shock!
