Kershaw E.T.
Reminiscent of this paratrooper knife I used to have (though I imagine less self-dulling). I dig knives with unique opening mechanisms, especially those where gripping the handle locks the knife open (like with a butterfly). In reality for actual outdoor jobs I prefer a straight sheath knife, and for handyman jobs the leatherman wave in its belt sheath. But I've been between pocket knives for a while now. Carried a leatherman micra for a while, then a mini-utility knife. Got annoyed with bulk/weight and the crappiness of a mini-tools. Next move will either be to shrink the size of my 3x5 card notepad and add something like the Tool Lite II Deluxe (which is so tiny it makes up for the crapiness, and has a flashlight which I've been missing), deciding to clip one somewhere, or just making sure I've got a blade in my backpack, glovebox, desk at work, etc (like Josh and his 17 Spydercos).
