Spend enough time with pocket knives and you’ll begin to understand how they differ from one blade to the next. The shape of the blade, opening mechanism and quality makes each one distinct, but so does the useability, or how often the knife comes in handy.
One blade that I continue to find a use for is Gerber’s Obsidian Fine-Edge Knife. Its drop-point blade cuts through almost anything, plus it features a Phillips-head screwdriver, flathead driver, metal file and bottle opener. Such multi-functionality gives me far more reason to break it out whether I’m tightening a loose cabinet knob or cracking open a cold one. And even though my collection includes quite a few high-end knives, this is the one I carry throughout the day.
