How many of you carry a multi tool daily? Seems like everyday someone needs to borrow it or use my knife to do something quick you think after doing that they would start to carry there own maybe I’m the odd one out but I sure would feel naked with out mine and would get sick of asking every day I have a leatherman and folding knife on me everyday at all times do you all carry something?

I've carried a folding knife every day of my life. Even in school (where it was an expellable offense), all the teachers would ask to borrow it.

Leaving the house without my Leathermans is like leaving without my pants!

Leatherman Wave is on my belt and has been for decades. Hardly a day goes by I don’t use it.

Carried one years. Finally broke all the screwdrivers and the tools really started to get hard to open after I used it working bees. Planed to send it in to be fixed and don't remember where I put it. The belt sheith sticking broke within a few months and it fell off my belt. I found it at work 4 days latter. It held up well with no bad effects after belong ran over by 930 series cats.

I carry a Emerson design Kershaw pocket knife for edc for the last s3veral years even when I had my wave also.

It's cheap enough I won't cry if it gets broken or lost and I really like it v

I carry a pocket knife but find the tiny tools on a multi-tool too small and hard to unfold with big fingers.

I carry a leatherman sidekick, fits in pocket and a Schrade Chip, no knife anymore but can gut a deer with the sidekick, even cut pelvis with saw. With a folding knife had to leave pelvis for later

always a knife , often a multi tool as well.

don't break the pelvis any more , cut around the anus pull the colon out a ways run the poop out then pull it though to the inside and let it go out with the rest of the gut , then as long as the knife is sharp no other tools needed.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That's how I do pelvis on a deer I'm going to hang for a while. If its a little fryer that I'm going to cut up right away I split the pelvis and can usually do it with my pocket knife on the little gaffers.

I carry a Buck Cadet this time of year as well as lighter and Leatherman. In the summer I scale down to one of my smaller pocket knives but still usually have a lighter and Leatherman along. I don't use the Leatherman very much but when I do need it its great to have it handy!

I always have a folding or small fixed blade on me. I often carry a multi tool also. I have the leatherman surge and kick. Sometimes I don't like to carry the surge because it's fairly heavy but has large, robust tools on it for a multi tool.

I broke my wave a few years back and sent it in to be repaired. Post office equipment destroyed the package and the tool fell out so Leatherman only received and empty package. Few days later some honest postal employee found it and knew about Leathermans policy so sent it to them. Leatherman did replace my wave with the original style like mine was but had discontinued it a few years earlier. I'm extremely grateful to the postal employee and Leatherman for their integrity. Now my leather case is about worn out and was thinking about having Randy Shuff make me a new one.
