What was your EDC before your first multitool?

I carried (and still do) a Buck 309 that I purchased in Jan. of 1974.  I got my first MT a SuperTool in 1995.

My first was a cheap folding scissors made in china lost it, I was about 8 years old. My father bought me a swiss champ in highschool lost it again after 2 years. During college bought a camo spartan swissknife lost it after 3 years didn't EDC for a while. Then when I was working on a farm my little bro bought me a leatherman charge Ti been EDCing it for the past 3 years. Bought a fenixlite L2D Q5 4 month ago been carrying it also.

When I was 5 years old, my grandfather gave me an inexpensive Barlow knife which I carried for years.

The Barlow I was given had genuine bone scales.

The Champ is pretty special

At the time SAKs were the gold standard.  To some extent, they still are.
