I have always carried around a Victorinox Swiss Army Recruit pocket knife. It is compact and light. It goes easily into my pocket, dangling from a strap tied to my belt. It has been very useful on many of the camping trips I took. The can opener proved itself useful a couple of times when I forgot to bring a can opener along. The knife obviously had been used more than a few times to cut open food packages, make marshmallow sticks, slice hotdogs, cut bacon strips, etc. The Victorinox knife is super sharp--I have cut myself a couple of times already.

I thought yesterday I might just need a multitool, one with a plier. I decided to purchase a Leatherman Wave multitool. It is not a cheap multitool but with 25 years of warranty, I like to think that I'm paying only a few bucks a year.
The Leatherman Wave multitool has received exceptional reviews. It is a little heavy to carry around however but I suppose good quality tools are made from heavy quality materials. I purchased a leather and plastic sheath so I can wear it on my belt.
My order will arrive in a few days. I will not be able to use it until my next camping trip. I am not sure if I will be able to make good use of this multitool. Did I buy it on impulse? Maybe. We'll see.
