Great quote from an interview with the actor who plays Ron Swanson, my hero:

"GQ: You strike me as a guy who has a powerful code for behaving properly. Are there some rules you could share with GQ's readers?
Nick Offerman: I would say, first of all, be prepared. I can't say enough about that. Right now I'm traveling in New York City, but I still have my Swiss army knife on me. I grew up among farmers in Illinois and so you always have to have the tools you might need in the eventuality of a flat tire or a broken window. In the traditional role of man, it falls to you to keep the weather out and fish in the boat."

So after reading that, today I have an Alox Soldier :)

Other companies make the half whittler pattern, even if I does go by another name. GECs Conductor patter seems to be almost identical. The pen can be very similar to the half whittler in blade configuration, but the frame is different. The pen that most resembles the half whittler as far as blades, has a serpentine frame, where the half whittler has a center swell.
 
Thanks Sitflyer, for awhile it was my EDC, along with my Opinel, it has spent many hours in my hand at work and play the bone and pins are really smooth. I put it in my pocket today and it was like a old friend. Sometimes I wish I had not accumulated so many slipjoints it was easier when I only had a few, but variety is the spice of life :-) and what's in my pocket seems to change with the wind direction.
