SAK: Which tool gets the most use?

Scissors and bottle opener. The bottle opener not so much for opening bottles but for the flathead screwdriver.
 
Can opener, large blade, scissors, magnifying glass and awl.
I use a SAK at least once a day (average might be higher) and have for over 25 years.
 
The toothpick, for sure. The bottle opener is a distant second, mostly to pry or to deal with slotted screws.
 
In decending order of utility
Common use-
*Main blade
*Large flat screwdriver (used for prying/levering)
*Pliers
*Small flat screwdriver/phillips screwdriver
*Awl/reamer
Rare use
*can/bottle opener
*Serrated blade
*Small blade
*Scissors
 
Hmmm today I used the awl as a firesteel striker.
The day before that i used it as...well an awl.
The day before that I used the flathead screwdriver.

That's only a 3 day sample, but yet, screwdriver or awl probably.
 
I carry a Cybertool 29 with me everywhere because the bit driver is just so damn useful. I've lost count of how many peoples' days I've "saved" because I had that thing on me. Mostly eyeglass repairs. I rarely use the main blade, and never use the small blade, which is super sharp in case I have to perform an emergency tracheotomy or something. The bottle opener gets used quite a bit too.:D
 
Probably the can opener. I use it as a can opener once in awhile and as a scraper more often. It sees the most use as a screwdriver.

I have one in the kitchen drawer, and it's the only can opener I have, so that would be #1.

Keep another in the bathroom, that one would be tweezers and scissors.
 
The awl on the 93mm alox knives. I use it to poke, drill, scratch, open, strike, and cut. It gets the most use drilling pilot holes and opening packages.
 
With my Workchamp I use:
1st Small screwdriver for sunglasses
2nd pliers to bend wire
3rd scissors
