Gerber Gear Dime

Doesn’t NYC have strict rules on knives as well? IIRC the blade needs to be under 3” and can’t have certain opening mechanisms, and even then a cop can just take it if they really want to. Last time I went to the city I chose to leave my usual knife at home to be on the safe side. I did take a Gerber Dime with me, but that’s nowhere near the same.

I like the Gerber Dime which is small, has scissors, pliers, screwdriver, useful at my desk and camping, but I don't generally bring it backpacking. Folding knives - lot of different brands to choose from, we see recommendations for Benchmade, Opinel, Spyderco, SOG, Buck... though some of those are pretty expensive.

I tried a Gerber Dime... it's a bit small though the pliers are decent. The scissors suck. The drivers are weak (bent the spring on the "Phillips" almost right away). I like the bottle opener on the end, but meh...I can open a bottle with most anything.
