I currently have a 2 inch Case knife that I have on my keychain that I think I picked up for $10-15 bucks. I use the heck out of it and its been great with the occasional sharpening.

Based on how much I use it, it might be time to get something nicer; perhaps something with an actual lock that prevents it from accidently opening.

Suggestions? Money no object (I don't mind forking up for something I use daily).

Leatherman Micra is too darn useful for me to give up. Only 1in blade but having scissors and a bottle opener at all times is super handy. I've even gotten away with having it at a concert once when I forgot it has a blade. I've had it for 16ish years. Downside is weight, it can basically be your only keychain accessory and is the equivalent of 3-4 keys in terms of bulk.

I carry a Spyderco Bug on mine, they also have a Honeybee and Grasshopper that are slightly bigger sizes but same designs. These are proper real knives.

Always worried about the hole on the spyderco's; fear something might catch it and open the knife.

Has never happened to me...they have a very stiff spring (or w/e it is) holding it closed.

I’ve carried Gerbers and others (in keychain size) in my pocket for 35 years, and never has one even tried to open. Have not lost enough to get to the spiderco bug yet.
