I was an outdoorsy kid in the 80s and 90s so pocket knives were common, but of course had rules. I hadn't carried one for decades, but started again this year because of hobbies that have me working outside and it's become super handy. I'll even clip it in the pocket of whatever shorts or PJ pants I'm wearing in the house while just chilling with the family. 100% for utilitarian uses, and literally every day.
One thing I have to thank the EDC, tactiool, and/or Mall Ninja Shit communities for though is the amazing variety of high quality pocket knives that use replaceable utility knife blades! Light and slim ones, not rattling box cutters.
Mine is one of these. Plain titanium color, and after an embarrassing amount of screwing around I settled on Tajima V-Rex II blades. I don't have a collection of knives or anything like that, but it is so satisfying to have the one tool that is exactly what I wanted for the job, and have need to use it constantly.
