I just use this. Yes, it's cheap. Yes, I also carve sticks into marshmallow toasters with it. But my grandpa had the same knife, my dad has always carried one, and so have I. Simple Buck folding knife. I call it Old Faithful, because it's always there. It's the one thing I can't lose. I could lose my wallet, phone, and car keys, but somehow this is always in my pocket. I have no idea how long I've had it. But "since I was little" would be the best guess. I keep the blade sharp and clean. Every once in a while, I have to get rid of the pocket lint in it.
