I used to think the no.8 was the best but I picked up a no.7 at a flea market in Brussels and it is a superior tool for cutting fruit on the go, opening packages, and fighting street-toughs.

having a pocket knife is really important to me. I'm always needing to cut open a package or slice a piece of cheese or a million other things.
I like this knife. Got it yesterday. It is cheap, so not a disaster if you lose it or break it. Of course it doesn't compare to the real deal or many more quality knives, but it is really quite delightful.
And so lightweight.
If you live in a city with specific knife laws (SF bars knives over 3 inches, for instance) you can always go with their mini version.

I'm a big fan of Swiss-made Victorinox knives, you can find a range of great ones starting around $25. Depending on how many tools (don't go with too many), you've got lots of options for not much coin.
My daily carry is Pioneer x Alox, pictured, which has a great blade, scissors, and a few other essentials. Looks terrific too.
There are even carry on-friendly options that are bladeless and TSA approved, if that is what's needed.
(Bonus: the Swiss Army style knives are generally safe to carry in any city, including those with 3" blade knife laws.)
Other classy knife options are the sub-$20 Opinel Knives (made in France) or the heaftier outdoor knives from Morakniv (Sweden) — like the Companion or Kansbol.
