What's your every day pocket knife?

Yep.
Use the hole to make it rotate in and out of a kydex 'sheath', and it becomes a folding knife again.
Brilliant idea. I will try to make it into a folder
A few folks have made posts mentioning that they have no need to carry a knife, which I do not doubt, however I use one daily for an abundance of tasks, I would miss it.
I carry a Doug Ritter RSK in my pocket and a Leatherman Wave in my bumbag and only this morning the wheel on my son's pushchair fell off when we were in the park, without the multitool I wouldn't have been able to undo the cotter pin to re-fit it.
Add to that...
Peeling fruit, cutting bread, cutting dried sausage. Opening bags of milk (with the scissors on the Wave). Fixing a gate lock in the woods nearby (making dowels from a branch and screwing the fitting back into the now worn holes with the Wave), cutting up bits of ribbon fired from those party popper things and left hanging from trees etc. etc.
In Hungary, the legal carry is any knife fixed or folding with a blade length of less then 8 cm. If you want to carry something larger you should have a reason to do so.

Same here, i could probably count on fingers and toes the amount of days in a year that i DON'T use a knife
Svord mini peasant in the pocket modded to double up as a bottle opener. One end or the other gets used on an almost daily basis
Opinel no6 modded with a quick remove lock ring and a few other little asthenosphere changes. Great little pocket knife.
Here's my EDC - a SAK Woodsman - large blade, small blade, opener layer, in-line philips, magnifying glass and woodsaw - my ideal set up.
Pictured here with a stone ball I found in the New Forest - intriguing.

The "stone ball" looks like the marble they used to have in Codds bottle tops, you pushed it (away from a rubber seal) in to open it and the fizz of the carbonated contents kept it in position after you upended it.
Sure I've seen white ones as well as clear marble ones.

Cheers for the info demographic, but I think it's too big for a lemonade stopper - its diameter is 3cm.
The stone ball has nothing to do with the bottle. It is a bullet and a very common piece of ammunition for an arquebus that was replaced the musket and subsequently replaced by the rifle. The bullet may date back to the 15/16th century and collectors may pay well for such an item with detailed history of find date and exact location.

Could indeed be what it is. Pre musket firearms where generally quite large calibre and stone projectiles weren't uncommon.
For me also, it's the ever popular Swiss army knife mine is The Wenger EvoWood 17 features walnut handle 8 blades & 13 functions.......
Knife blade length: 2.5" | 6.35cm
Closed length: 3.26" | 8.5cm

Cheers for the info Dax! I'll do some research based on that - I found it in the New Forest about a month ago.
Here's my Opinel No.7 with the stone ball I found. I agree with you 4Freek, the Opi is a great knife. I would like to try a 6 and an 8 or 9 for size.
