I haven't carried a pocketknife around regularly since I was a teenager, when I lived out in the sticks. I cannot recall a single time as an adult when I found myself wishing I had one. Why on earth am I thinking about pocketknives so much all of a sudden. (Rhetorical question, please no advice.)

Like, of all the things I could spend money on, a knife that I would almost certainly throw in a drawer and forget about is not a high priority

I have a teeny little multitool on my keyring that I occasionally use to open packages or unscrew a battery cover, and I have literally never needed anything more. WTF, Mike's brain.

A little key-shaped multitool

I mean, seriously, if I must be fixated on things to buy that I don't need and won't use, why can't it be something normal like video games or whatever

I’m gonna end up spending like a hundred fifty bucks on a knife, I can just tell 😩

It's possible to get decent pocketknives for $30-ish. But then again, I'm not obsessing over whatever knives you're obsessing over.
