I've carried this one a few times in the past, but for some reason this morning I got bit by the "small knife bug"....
Besides a Victorinox Spartan, I carried a working knife of Friedrich Herder with me.
This kind of knives used to be very popular here in the northern parts of the Netherlands and I think it still is, many shops specialised in knives, scissors and related tools still sell them. There are even some sayings here, like "mien Herder is mien redder" (my Herder is my rescuer/saviour (not sure about correct English translation).
Below is a picture. I have this knife since 1994 and I still use it a lot.
