Victorinox Swiss Army knives. If you want a tiny, multipurpose pocketknife, they cannot be beat.
And they're cheap enough from TSA eBay sales, why would you accept a crappy knockoff?!
If buying used, Wenger originals were the same standard as Victorinox. Now, Wenger got bought and absorbed by Victorinox if you were to buy new.
There is also Leatherman with compact foldable multitools, but their tools are bigger and heavier.
They also do excellent small kitchen knives for under 10€, best money invested to carv out those vegetables or meat.
I'm pairing it with a cheap knife sharpener from a certain Swedish company ^^
Their also (or at least used to) honor their warranty. I had problems with one of their knives several years after I bought it. It got replaced without a major hassle. Haven't had to use the warranty again in decades though, so it could be different now.
Had mine for over 20 years until it disappeared. Years later still no idea what happened to it. Only issue I had with it was the clock it had, broke halfway through owning it.
I can't agree with you more on this. I have used them for years, most recently got one with a scalloped side that fits in your hand so nicely. My son is a cub scout and just got one too, his first pocketknife.
