Your pocketknife today
Me? Right pants pocket: Victorinox Camper, their basic model (Spartan) plus a saw. Very versatile. It's the thickest SAK that I pocket carry.
In a belt pouch, a Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder. It can handle any cutting that needs more knife than the SAK.
What's in YOUR pocket today?
And what's your favorite Swiss Army knife?

Victorinox Super Tinker in the right front pocket. Buck 110 in the edc sling, and the Leatherman Wave on the belt depending on the days activity. BTW did you know a common pin fits in the opening under the phillips screwdriver of the Super Tinker.

In my right front pocket, a Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage. In my left front pocket a Leatherman Micra.
My favorite SAK is a Victorinox Mauser German army knife, even though the saw blade is kind of stupid. I rarely carry it; it's just cool. Otherwise, anything with scissors and a corkscrew. I don't know how many copies of the standard Leatherman I own, or Swiss army knives, none thicker than they are wide. They are stashed all over a number of motorbikes and tool bags. All the toothpicks have received heavy use.

Never without a 3 blade Case Serpentine Stockman in my left front pocket regardless of what is on my belt. I have some favorite Trappers that I carry at different times on my belt.
I guess I was born too soon to be a lover of single blade knife.

Same Buck 501 I've carried for over thirty years, with the dark red micarta scales, and a small Victorinox attached to my key ring (left pocket). When I need something bigger, it's a Benchmade Mel Pardue.

Usually have a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian in my left-front pocket.
My favorite SAK is a Victorinox Huntsman.....which I've carried the last two days while turkey hunting.

A 3 blade Buck Stockman tnat I gave my Dad in the mid-70's.
He passed in 1998, so I carry it for him now.

Buck Quickfire. Since I'm retired and act as a caregiver for an elderly parent, I rarely need more than one in my pocket. If I do, I've got several other Bucks close at hand.

Case 3-blade stag stockman in my pocket, Buck 110 folding hunter on my hip. I am never without a knife.
I prefer a leatherman to a Swiss Army, but have been carrying the Buck instead of the Super Leatherman, lately.

Carry is a Kershaw Leek. Favorite is the Swiss Army pen because it was one of the first Christmas gifts my som got for me. I buy Swiss Army Tinkers when on sale and have them permanently in my car, truck, range and first aid bags. Also keep a fire steel, some dryer lint and birch bark in the car, truck and ATV.

A yellow handle Case is required around here. I usually rotate between Trapper, Stockman, and Peanut. For really special occasions, I carry a blue handle Case Toothpick.

An original Marble's Gladstone Sambar Stag Stockman produced in 2001 in their Custom Shop - ( ONLY 25 made ) has been in my pocket for 11 years. I've probably ruined all collector value because it has been carried and well used, but I enjoy it each and every day! Just about the best knife I have ever owned.

As I posted in the how many knives thread, I can't find my Swiss Army knife right now. I'm still hoping it will turn up. Oddly enough I don't even remember what model I have, save that it is a Victorinox.
Mine actually came from Switzerland. A guy there mailed it to me in exchange for a smelly pair of old boots.
That's what I generally carry, ever since the only multi tool I had left ended up being a Gerber EOD tool. I don't trust the exposed C4 punch in a pocket.
Thus I've been carrying a completely and utterly expendable S&W branded folder out of the PRC. Some work on a Chef's Choice manual made it somewhat passably sharp.

My every day carry changed frequently......every time I lost one. I have lost three Case Peanuts and two Buck companions. I have lost them on airplanes, in gentlemen's clubs, and I swear there is a stag handle peanut hiding somewhere in this house. Two years ago I started carrying a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian with the clip. Haven't lost that one yet....but then I don't go to "Gentlemen's" clubs anymore.

Kershaw orange Packrat in watch pocket, SOG microtool on keychain. Have a fixed blade in the backpack and a couple of knives in the desk next to me.
My favorite SAK is a slim blue Victorinox two-blade that I just love the feel of.

Buck Stockman. In the middle 70s I broke the pin that holds one of the blades and sent it back to get it repaired and they sent me a new knife. By counting 2 knives I have carried a Buck Stockman for close to 50 yrs. Larry

Almost daily I carry my Case Pen Knife 62033. Probably 1982.
When working I have been using Irish made Schrade Badgers. But I'm running low and need to keep a few for the collection.
My buddy is a knife junkie and found a cheepo liner lock that I tried, It's held up pretty well for a spring assist.
The primary use is opening 80lb. salt bags. I need a one hand opening knife but liked the badgers better as you can flip them open from any angle unlike the spring assisted knifes that require a specific hold.
I'm pretty rough on the work knives. <<< Your thread TS so I'll spell it your way.

When I'm working outside on my property, I carry a One Hand Trekker Swiss Army knife. I bought it at an Austrian Army PX in Kosovo in 2003. Back then, the dollar was worth more than the Euro. I bought the knife for $14.

Spyderco Endura 4 in my lower front pant pocket. Since I secured the clip with loctite it has been a great carry companion. I had a Spyderco for years and lost it one night at a wedding reception, don't ask.
