You want a mushroom knife. Toes are basically mushrooms.

One day, if you lift enough weights, eat enough dead animals, and swing a big enough club, you might just be able to do caveman things.

I love my knife, it's my baby. Help me think of a good name for it, a woman's name. You know, just like we do with guns.

I mean Swiss Army Knives aren't that different from other semi-toy semi-useful products with niche applications. Like, Raspberry Pi. Yeah sure you can totally write your thesis or some software with that. If you're very patient and enjoy masochism. Or you turn it into retro game emulator. You know, the one you've got on your computer already, except slower. Yeah sure you can build your own keyboards. They'll be five times as expensive and have half the features of a store-bought one, but it's just neat to put some wires into a controller and have them do things. None of these things are really practical (outside of some niche applications), but they're cute and playful and that's why people like them.

A Swiss Army Knife is ~2 oz, takes zero effort to have with me, and makes my day easier. Sure, a lot of it is stuff I could eventually work my way through with my hands and teeth, but why do that when humans can use tools?

When I used to worked at a grocery store as a teenager anyone doing any stocking was given a box cutter with a hilarious holster, there was a big drawer just full of them. I see them on grocery store drones to this day.

"Bushman", or something similar to that. I remember that PETA ended up mirroring the thread for some reason.

Working on minesites and backcountry I use a Leatherman every single day. I could hump a few pounds of perfect tools around or I could use one thing that can cut branches, lever plant roots, unscrew poo poo and fix whatever dumb poo poo that always seems to need fixing. Pretty much everyone I work with has a knife or something to cut poo poo up and we've been told specifically to buy a cheap mutitool because carrying a screwdriver in your vest is a great way to to puncture a lung after you trip down a hill or whatever. The only thing I've never used is the bottle opener because lol if you can't open a bottle with practically any solid object.

None of my employers over the past 12 years have allowed me to carry a phone on the job. Watches are simple and nice.
