Doh! :doh:  Roc's pic just reminded me that I've actually got a Gerber Dime on my keys, as well as my Swisschamp (though that isn't on my keys ;)).
There needs to be a thread dedicated to the SAK/multi you forgot you were carrying that day. I do it all the time. A need arises for a certain tool and I completely forget it's on my keys, in my coat pocket or in the drawer of my work desk.

I probably do that more than I care to admit. :whistle:

My traditional Christmas carry, Tweety the Explorer. :) I don't know how it started, but I've carried it every Christmas for years now. :tu:

There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

I've just survived Christmas Eve with a MP700 at my brother's house. Together we assembled a rocking horse and a tricycle for my young niece using it, and ensured everything electronic had fresh batteries. It also opened beers and some stubborn packaging, including clam shells and zip ties.

We had a close call when we realised the bottle of wine I'd taken was a "proper" one with a cork, and the only SAK I had was an alox Rambler, but he'd got a cheapo Chinese SAKalike which did the trick. Unfortunately, I put my neck out doing it, which triggered the enduring balance issues from the last few months, and I collapsed in the kitchen ...... but the bottle survived in tact, and I didn't spill a drop.  :D Priorities!  ;) Managed to reset my neck after a few minutes, and had a really great evening  :)

Neck is struggling a bit now though, but I can spend most of tomorrow in bed if I want.  :D My next "public appearance" isn't till the 26th, and I'll be getting picked up and taken to my friend's house, which mean's that if my neck won't let me go to bed tonight, I can stop up watching DVDs all night and have a few cheeky whiskys instead :whistle:

Spirit and CS Tuff Lite today, like yesterday. Also had a Rambler for the tiny Phillips, the official fastener for all toy battery doors. I'll take a picture tomorrow, it's probably going to be the same setup, or maybe I'll add a Cybertool for the small Phillips bit. :tu:
May it be as the Pattern has chosen.

Skeletool assembled a desk/art station for my daughter. Wound up using the Dime primarily at my parents to open stuff. My daughter was running around like a crazy person and didn't want an open blade out. The Dime's retail package opener worked great on taped boxes and plastic/cardboard.

LM Rebar, Gerber EAB and LED Mag Solitaire yesterday. Might go with the same today.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Still the same combo today for Christmas at our house. I put the dimes scissors to the rest cutting zip ties that toys manf are using now days. They worked well.
Also the skeletool tore through some packages and the Phillips's driver got a workout putting batteries in.
All sharp and ready for the next task.
