What's your pocketknife of choice.

My Dad told me "A man without a pocketknife is naked" He was a Master Sargent of Norwegian descent and I was later informed of an Old Norse saying " A knifeless man is a lifeless man." I guess he Americanized it, since the age of 9 I always carried a pocketknife from my 1st scout knife to my Schrade Old Timer Stockman with Carbon Steel blades model S0505 that I've had for way over 50 years. The Scrimshaw is so worn of that I have to move it in bright light to see the ghost of the 2 Racoons on it. I use as close to everyday as I can recall. It's 3 bladed A Clip blade, a Sheep's foot and a Spey. The Spey being not so pointed I use on the carbon in the pipe bowl. The Sheep's Foot is a utility knife and the Clip is used to pierce and long cuts. They have countless knife type uses. 

So; what's your daily carry? Tell us about it and what uses do you put it to?
