Coming in a close second to my love for packs is my love for pocket knives. I carry a knife everyday at work and around home and always find a ton of uses for them, more so in the woods. Folding knives are not a useful as their fixed blade counterparts in the woods but they are a whole lot easier to carry and give off a lot less of a weird rambo feeling. For $30 you get a 4 3/8" long (closed) partially serrated stainless steel locking blade sub 3 ounce folding knife with a bottle opener and a belt clip. The easy to operate with one finger blade lock locks the blade both open and closed, the series of groves cut into the back of the blade make it quick and easy to deploy, buck calls this SafeSpin deployment, the rubberized grip is super sticky when wet, to the point its hard to get out of your pocket when wet. Basically this knife just works. It's easy to use and large enough for most jobs and small enough to forget its in your pocket. My only caveat is the bottle opener. While it works, its not the greatest bottle opener, you never know when your going to need to open a beer in a pinch and having a bottle opener handy is always a good idea. I say it's worth the $30.
