I used to carry my Swiss Army (Don't know which model, but it has a corkscrew) until I tried to walk into the County Courthouse with it one day. They were not amused. Now I leave it, and the rest of my weapons collection, at home.

I carry the big Gerber multi-tool on the hip, a Puma Skinner is strapped to the drivers seat for easy access, and an Ontario Bowie is just under the drivers seat as backup. There is also an Old Timer in the glove box.

For me it depends.
I carry a Gerber Micro LST on my keychain.
Sometimes I carry an old Gerber folding knife; not sure of the model but it's a 3 1/2 " blade, brass handle with the cocobolo wood insert.
Then I'll switch to a Swiss Champ for other occasions.
Camping, I use a Kershaw Blade Trader.

I carry a Benchmade CQC-7, (Close Quarter Combat). It is like a part of me, without it I feel partially naked. Had a problem with the clip and Benchmade fixed it better than new and resharpened it all for free.

Until I received a Leatherman Original for Christmas 8 years ago, I carried a Case pocket knife.
As a public school teacher, I probably could not carry the pocket knife, but the Leatherman is a "tool" and therefore it is not against policy for me to have it on my person.
One of the lessons I used to teach as part of my Hand and Power Tool class was knife sharpening. All the boys would bring in their hunting knives in October and I'd teach them how to put a razor edge on them. Those days are long gone.
I'll never forget a female math teacher stating that she simply could not understand why boys/men had to carry a pocket knife.
I simply told her that if she did not understand already, there was no way I could ever explain it.
