Does anyone carry those? You've seen them made of steel, ti. Typically have box cutter, hex, bottle opener, flat head, etc. Saw a commercial for one an was curious of the practicality of these, or are they mall ninjaish? Does anyone here carry one (not specifically the one below) and use it; or would you consider it a back up blade?

The Victorinox Swisscard Lite is an amazing wallet multitool if a person ever has a use for any of the gadgets it packed into a convenient card shape. I don't really see the point in the all-metal ones with hex slots, etc., but I'm not really ever likely to be in a situation where I'll need to use that feature without tools more suited to the purpose readily available.
 
I carried one in my wallet in the 80's. I had three fish hooks in the bottle opener area and fishing ling wrapped around it. Never used it for anything, but sure thought I was cool:)
 
i carry one in my wallet specifically for the bottle opener and have never used for anything else... mine was $2.00
 
I've had a Swiss Card Lite in my wallet for 5 or 6 years. The battery for the light died long ago and I have not replaced it because I carry a much better flashlight on my key chain anyway. I don't use my Swiss Card very often. I forget it's even there most of the time until I need one of the implements.

I really only use the pen, magnifying glass, and scissors and I like having those items on me when I need them. Those three items are the only reasons it stays in my wallet. The knife blade is kind of flimsy and I've never used it so I can't really comment on its performance. I tried using the four-way screwdriver once but it wasn't suited for the task at hand.

When I first put the Swiss card in my wallet years ago I thought it was too bulky but I left it there anyway and I got used to it pretty quick. Generally speaking, it's a useful tool that I can forget about until I need it.
 
I used different SwissCard models, and sometimes still carry one from time to time. It's a very good tool, especially if you need to keep a super low profile. They make a cool gift, too.
 
I used to carry what I think was called a ti card, but it bulked up my wallet too much so now I dont carry anything
 
Dpx danger tag is kinda neat. Very unobtrusive till needed then u just break along seams and voila, plain and serrated edges
 
For the longest time I carried a Boker Credit Card Knife in my wallet and although it's a great conversation piece and a more-than-decent knife, I simply never used it because it was more of a back-up and my main knife never failed me..
 
Yes...
