Honestly, for nothing "in specific". If I DO have a specific task in mind, I typically carry a more specialized tool (ie, my kitchen knife gets used for food prep, my bushcraft knives get used while camping, etc). So, some days that means that my EDC doesn't actually get used at all. Other days I trim strings, trim fingernails/hangnails, open/break down boxes, remove slivers, etc. I have a separate folder in my work bag (Opinel #6) that I use for "food prep" (cutting apples at work). That way none of the grossness that might be on my EDC gets in my food (and yes I wash both).
And I seem to be in the minority. I open my mail with my fingers :/.
I always think the same thing sir, it always gives me a chuckle. And a decent kitchen knife doesn't cost much (I've only got Victorinox, Opinel, and Tojiro DP kitchen knives. Ranging in price from $10 [opinel paring knives], $35 [Vic Santoku] up to $70 [Tojiro DP 10in Gyuto]). But even those are miles ahead of any of my other knives for kitchen work.
