For me, this knife is the perfect answer to the question, how many tools do you really need in a pocket utility knife? The main blade is sharp, long, and easy to open and close with one hand. It also has Phillips and flat head screwdrivers, a bottle opener, a can opener, and a nice saw blade. Everything I need without being too bulky. This is my second one; I used my previous one almost daily for all kinds of everyday chores.
As for why I had to get a new one, well, interesting story: I was traveling in Scotland, trusty travel companion in my pocket, when I had to go through a security check to enter a building. Knowing that I would get stopped anyway for the knife, I took it out and asked the security guard if there was anywhere I could store it while I toured the facility. He nonchalantly referred me to the police officer on duty who gave me a steely look and asked, “Where are you from? Do you realize that having a knife like this in your possession is a felony in the UK?” Long story short, I was not arrested, but I did have my knife confiscated. Lesson learned. Be careful of local laws if you take this knife traveling with you.
