On occasion, but I haven't worked in a single office/university that didn't have at least a mini-kitchen area with like a microwave and coffee pot and a small amount of silverware, and scissors are always laying around somewhere. You don't need a finely honed kabar to cut up an apple, you can do it with even a butter knife. Or just eat them the more normal way, unless you're specifically chopping them up to make a salad or something.

If you don't see the benefit to having pliers, scissors, and screwdrivers readily at hand no matter where you are then I really just don't know what to say. Of all the tools on my pocketknife one of the ones that I use the least is the actual blade.

Every time I've needed or even wanted those things I've been in places with access to real tools.

Heath posted:I think that every man has a subconscious attraction to blades. Every time one of those every day carry threads come around, the pocket knife is probably the single most consistent item you see barring ubiquitous things like wallet/phone/keys. Some guys are really obviously obsessed with blades, such as those that kept the Home Shopping Network and many pawn shops in operation ordering replica katanas. We laugh at the dumpy guys in greasy tee-shirts holding a replica Frostmourne, but I believe that if you've ever held a real, made-to-kill-a-man blade in your hand, you probably at least momentarily felt a little powerful. I dont know anybody who carries a knife around with them and, if i did, i would probably stop being friends with them.

Of all the tools on my pocketknife one of the ones that I use the least is the actual blade. The only time I've ever had to use a screwdriver at work, ever, was when I got a new monitor delivered. Yes I could have saved like 30 seconds of asking the secretary "hey, you got a screwdriver?" and getting it, but I consider it worth it to not have to worry about yet another bulky thing to make sure I have in my pockets before I leave the apartment. As for scissors, there's a supply closet about 10 feet from me with a near endless supply of them, and for the life of me I can't imagine one situation I've been in at work where I thought "hey, I could really use a pair of pliers right about now".

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:these pocket knives are hella sick IMO Some good ones they gave a serial number and dont make anymore. But the selection is still good same for build quality. They do take up a lot of real estate in your pocket, iykwim.  I have this "side assist" knife i carry at work because its really quick and handy when i gotta unpack/pack poo poo at work at the poo poo packing factory. The push hole you put your finger in leads to a really secure grip for cutting cardboard and tape or twine. Its got a safety but mine's broke so i don't have to gently caress with it but it was annoying and flimsy so gently caress it it still locks open which just makes it faster. My dad has some spyderco butterfly knife that they made an equivalent of in pen form. I practice with the pen and won't be able to weild the knife until he chops off the rest of his fingers.

I keep this bad boy on my hip in case I need to very specifically point at an object, or for eating peanuts out of those bowls that bartenders put out. Not only is convenient, it lets all the females in the bar see that I can protect them and that I'm not just some lame redshirt from Podunk.

But those machetes are pretty good. They can tire you out because they are huge and heavy, but I've also not had one hold an edge as well as that one.
