I think your experience is totally valid. For me, a Swiss Army Knife is often provides a better tool for the job than a knife. In descending frequency of use as a city slicker: - scissors - Philips screwdriver - tweezers - awl - package hook (untying knots) The knife doesn't make it in the top 5, but would get used on the occasional picnic when someone forgets to bring a knife.
