Like many if not all of us, I own more knives than I can justify. I carry several at a time when not forced into a courthouse or other government building.
Yet the first one I reach for when matter needs separating is an Olfa SVR-2. It's light, thin, extends and retracts smoothly, and cuts what needs cutting. The tip is slim enough to aid in lifting pull tabs on food and drink cans. I'm actually still on the first included blade because I'm either too lazy to change it or too cheap to. The pocket clip is too short and too weak, but unlike my many OHO folders (to say nothing of my fixies), it doesn't cause hoplophobes to faint or run away screaming.
One time I picked up an Amazon box from a locker, I was pulling the items out at a garbage can outside the store. A woman came out carrying just-bought shoes said, "Oh, you have a boxcutter. Could you cut the tether on my shoes?" I just reached out and did it without thinking, and both of us went on with our lives.
So I'm left curious: am I really a knife guy, or am I a weaselly appeaser worthy of the Chamberlain 2.0 moniker?
