The Victorinox swiss army knife is simply the best pocket tool!
The more I look at alternatives, the more I realize, nothing can give you this much functionality in this small a package, while being so high quality and reasonably priced. Popular (machine-assembled) versions regularly go for $25.
The one caveat is that it falls behind modern knives in terms of safety and ease for opening/closing. I'd love to see a next-gen SAK without nail nicks. This model is the Mountaineer.
Their kitchen chef's knives are also tremendous quality. My go-to knife recommendation
