Cutco 1886 Pocket Knife. Bought it two years ago, got it sharpened last month, and finally put it to use this week.
I think these are pretty expensive at MSRP ($70--more than triple that of its closest Buck, Case, Gerber, and Bear USA-made competitors), and their service is a little lackluster (a lot of meat was taken from the blade when I had it resharpened, and it's not really that sharp--just working sharp, not shaving sharp). However, the ergonomics are great for my fat fingers and medium-sized hands. No other knife this size fits my hands this well.
I would only recommend buying one used under $20. I think I paid $15 for mine, plus the $7 shipping to get it sharpened two years later. Possibly the reason Cutco had to take away so much meat was that I accidentally blunted it trying to sharpen it myself. A plus to buying one is if you actually know how to sharpen a knife properly. Otherwise, for the size, I recommend the much cheaper Buck, Case, Gerber, and yes, even Bear models--which are all still USA-made. Klein has some Moki-made models that are better for half the price, and well, there's a lot of Seki-made Spyderco models under $70. I have a $60 Jester in CPM-20CV that despite being used almost daily since it was released in November; is still sharper than this Cutco.

Bell Technologies D2 flipper sent to me by JamieinWV today, in fact all week. So far it slices Mandarin skins with easy, slick mail opener too. Very warm iced coffee walk today.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Wow, yours doesn't have the ever-common busted blade!
I wish someone would revisit the design. I tested the ad claims with one I bought for $25 with a broken blade (ironically, from a guy who outbid me on the exact same example two years ago, paying twice what I did from him), and it cuts modern barbed wire without a problem and the pliers are pretty strong. Some of my multitools on the other hand, struggle. It is really sturdy for its small size.
